The Hindu Aikya Vedi (HAV)or Hindu United Front is a Hindu organization working in the state of Kerala in India. The group is dedicated to bringing in various sections in Kerala Hindu society such as the Nairs, Ezhavas and other Hindu community groups under a single umbrella group. The HAV's stated goal is to "preserve the true cultural heritage of Kerala" by enlightening the masses about the inherent qualities of Hindu culture vis-a-vis semitic/Abrahamic faiths. According to their leader, Sri. Kummanam Rajasekharan, their action plan consists of "CAP": Coordination, Agitation and Propaganda.

Hindu Aikya Vedi along with other Sangh Parivar outfits lead a tenacious campaign highlighting the plight of 'Arayas' (Hindu fishermen folk), who were the victims of the Marad massacre. HAV also became party to litigations demanding CBI enquiry about the riots.
The present Devaswom Boards which manage the Hindu temples are conceived as the continuation of the system followed during the British-rule by HAV. So the HAV strives to get rid off with so called 'secular' management of temples.
Hindu Aikya Vedi maintains its position that,they are not against the practicing or preaching of any particlular faith, but against proselytization carried out mostly by certain Christian groups. Proselytization is deemed unlawful under Indian constitution .They also point at the dubious stand taken by the Church on occasions such as the Bnei menashe#Controversy in India, where it vehemently opposed rabbis who were facilitating the conversion of tribal Christians which will enable them to perform aliyah
On preventing conversion:
On Christians:
On Muslims:
The major criticism on HAV is that it does not represent all the different castes in Hinduism as it is practised currently in Kerala. While the organisation claims to unite the followers of Hinduism under it doesn't have the representation of the Dalit Hindus in the state. Lately HAV has been associated with supporting comments of the beef ban in Maharashtra
