Morphology

sanghi + group

The element 'sanghi' is a culture-specific label not attested in the provided dictionary entry and does not have a transparent English compositional meaning; knowing only the English word 'group' does not allow a B1 learner to infer the political/organizational sense. The phrase therefore requires sociopolitical background knowledge about Indian nationalist usage rather than simple combination of known word meanings, making it unpredictable for learners.

Etymology

Sanghi group comes from the Hindi word sangh, which means 'association' or 'group'. The form sanghi labels people tied to such a group and came to mean supporters of 'Hindu nationalist ideas', so sanghi group is used for an organization that promotes those ideas.
