据印度新闻社（PTI）报道，一群印度国民志愿服务团的支持者已向美国司法部登记为该组织的外国代理人，以扩大其在美国的外联工作。
A group of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh well-wishers has registered with the US Department of Justice as a foreign agent of the organisation to expand its outreach in the country, news agency Press Trust of India reported.
“RSS之友”于8月27日根据《外国代理人登记法》完成登记，将位于新德里凯沙夫昆杰的印度国民志愿服务团列为其“外国委托人”。
RSS Friends registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act on August 27 and named the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh at Keshavkunj in New Delhi as its "foreign principal".
该组织在登记文件中提供了美国佐治亚州的一个地址。其拟开展的活动包括回应或纠正其认为不准确、不完整或缺乏相关背景的信息。
The group provided an address in the US state of Georgia in its registration document. Its proposed activities include responding to or correcting information that it believes is inaccurate, incomplete or lacking relevant context.
“RSS之友”与印度国民志愿服务团之间不存在包含具体交付成果、报酬或详细运营指示的书面雇佣、咨询、游说、公关或代理协议，”该组织表示。
"RSS Friends does not have a written employment, consulting, lobbying, public-relations, or agency agreement with RSS containing specified deliverables, compensation, or detailed operational instructions," the group said.
该组织补充称，没有书面合同不应被理解为不存在任何关系、请求、谅解、协调、授权、指示或其他相关事实联系的陈述。“RSS之友将披露与其活动相关的实际事实，”声明说。
It added that the absence of a written contract should not be understood as a representation that no relationship, request, understanding, coordination, authorisation, direction or other relevant factual connection exists. "RSS Friends will disclose the actual facts relevant to its activities," it said.
该组织表示，其拟开展的工作将主要涉及信息、教育、公共关系和社区参与活动。“根据其治理文件和适用法律，它可能与公众、记者、媒体组织、研究人员、学术和政策机构、社区领袖、民间社会组织，以及在适当情况下的政府机构或官员进行沟通，”声明说。
The group said its proposed work would primarily involve informational, educational, public-relations and community engagement activities. "Consistent with its governing documents and applicable law, it may communicate with members of the public, journalists, media organisations, researchers, academic and policy institutions, community leaders, civil-society organisations, and, where appropriate, government agencies or officials," it said.
RSS Friends 将 RSS 描述为一个总部位于印度的志愿者和社会文化组织。“国家志愿服务团（RSS）是一个总部位于印度的非法人个人团体/志愿协会，”该组织表示。该组织列出 Rajendra Sonarikar、Jayant Pant 和 Devananda Gaddam 为其董事会成员。
RSS Friends described the RSS as an India-based volunteer and socio-cultural organisation. "The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is an unincorporated India-based body of individuals/voluntary association," it said. The group listed Rajendra Sonarikar, Jayant Pant and Devananda Gaddam as members of its board of directors.
其拟开展的活动还包括组织或参与教育、文化、社区和信息类活动。在适当且法律允许的情况下，该组织还可能就关于 RSS 的事实信息或观点，或与该组织既定宗旨相关的事项，与行政机构、公共机构或决策者进行沟通。
Its proposed activities also include organising or participating in educational, cultural, community and informational events. It may also communicate, where appropriate and permitted by law, with administrative bodies, public agencies or policymakers about factual information or perspectives concerning the RSS or matters linked to the group's stated purposes.
据印度新闻社报道，该注册申请是在 RSS 首席 Mohan Bhagwat 于 8 月 29 日在纽约麦迪逊广场花园举行的“宇宙合一庆典”外联活动前两天提交的。该活动由美国印度教徒参与与对话论坛组织。
According to Press Trust of India, the registration was submitted two days before RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's Universal Oneness Celebration outreach programme at Madison Square Garden in New York on August 29. The event was organised by the American Hindus for Engagement and Dialogue Forum.
因此，该注册文件概述了 RSS Friends 计划在美国开展的信息、教育、公共关系和社区参与活动，并将位于新德里的 RSS 确定为其外国委托方。
The registration, therefore, outlines RSS Friends' planned informational, educational, public-relations and community engagement activities in the US and identifies the RSS in New Delhi as its foreign principal.
