The relationship between the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the BJP is that of the soul and the body. The BJP disposes of what the RSS proposes. Most chief ministers, governors, and civil appointees, including the president of India were recommended by the RSS.
The RSS is at the forefront of every election in India. Founded in 1925, the RSS has been overtly and covertly supporting the Hindutva parties. RSS’s ideological offshoot BJP took nearly 89 years to form d a Govt in 2014 at the Center with 282 majority seats of its own.
The BJP fulfilled the RSS’s desire to abolish 370 and the conversion of the Babri mosque into Ramjanam Bhoomi (god Ram’s birthplace).
During his visit to the RSS’s headquarters in the Maninagar area (Ahmedabad, Gujarat), the RSS ideologue said, “All countrymen should read Preamble to the Constitution on the day [Republic Day] as it tells where we should take our country.”
Interestingly, there is a dichotomy between what the Indian Constitution preaches and what it practices. The Preamble reads: WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN, SOCIALIST, SECULAR, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens: JUSTICE, social, economic and political; LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship; EQUALITY of status and of opportunity, and to promote among them all, FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity the Nation.
The RSS chief has said many a time that the existence of Muslims in India in such a large number is a testimony to the fact that the Hindu is “generous”. The terrified Muslims join the RSS in hordes to escape persecution. The RSS utilizes its Muslim Wing to distribute its propaganda material and discredit Muslim leaders. Yet, it ensures that no Muslim is elected to the Indian parliament.
Lashing out at PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti, RSS’s Muslim Rashtriya Manch chief Indresh Kumar on Monday, termed Mufti a ‘traitor to Islam and India’ for not raising the national flag in Jammu-Kashmir.
Lauding her decision to not contest elections till Article 370 is restored, he said it was for the greater good if Mufti remains away from electoral politics throughout her life. A massive controversy has broken out between BJP and PDP over Mufti’s remark to ‘not raise Indian flag till Kashmir’s state flag is restored’.
The RSS’s idea of Hindu Rashtra is to expel all minorities from India. It wants the minorities to revert to Hinduism or leave India. While speaking at the RSS’ annual Vijayadashami (foundation anniversary) at Nagpur, the RSS’ then chief and ideologue Mohan Bhagwat listed various “noteworthy incidents” like Article 370 abrogation, Ram Mandir Bhoomi puja, Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) that took place in the last one year.
The RSS leaders declared former IHK chief minister Mahbooba Mufti a traitor. It then rushed its goons to hoist India’s national flag at his party’s headquarter. Muslims are even forced to perform Durga pooja.
The anti-Muslim amendments in India’s Citizenship Act were contrived by the RSS. The RSS’s ideologue talks of India’s Constitution, but the amendments are repugnant to provisions of India’s Constitution.
The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) goes against the principle of constitutional secularism envisaged by the framers of the Indian Constitution. The CAA emerged out of a new, refined Hindutva ideology, formulated by the RSS. Asianpeace.org
