Morphology
sanghi + community
The phrase is compositionally built: 'sanghi' functions as a label for supporters of the Sangh/RSS (a specific political/cultural group) and 'community' means a group of people, so the overall meaning 'a community of sanghis' is directly derivable from the parts. Note that 'sanghi' is culturally specific and often absent from general dictionaries, so learners who do not already know that label will fail to understand it, but a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The term sanghi community comes from the Hindi word sangh, meaning 'association', and from people called sanghis who belonged to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, known as the RSS. So sanghi community refers to the community of people who support that group and its ideas.
