  21 August 2017, by siawi3

  Education has been the major area of work for RSS all through. It has set up schools. It has set up organizations to influence the policies in the field of education. It has also started putting its followers in the top positions in Universities and major research institutes of the country.

• India: Inventing history to inculcate hatred
  21 August 2017, by siawi3

  As secularism and reason are driven out, prejudice and ignorance extend their sway with disconcerting rapidity. The Left parties may recall how Popular Fronts were formed in Europe in the mid-1930s to block the path of Fascism. Surely, anyone with any foresight can see that unless a broad unity of all secular forces is now forged in India, the country’s present slide into darkness will doubtless continue.

  Although the BJP and Sangh Parivar celebrating Talaq judgment of Supreme Court and claiming credit for liberating Muslim women from the male dominating Muslim society. But there was no evidence that they took any initiative for empowering Hindu women. On the contrary they took every possible step to stall a major initiative taken by our first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nahru and our first law minister Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.

• India: With two RSS members convicted for bombing Ajmer shrine, should the organisation be banned again?
  23 March 2017, by siawi3

  Given the power the organisation commands, the terror links of its members are alarming. At a time when the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh controls the levers of power in the Union government itself, what does it means for India that members of this hardline Hindutva organisation conducted a terror strike on a Sufi shrine? The RSS is no ordinary body. The Jan Sangh, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s earlier avatar, was founded – the BJP’s own website informs us – “after consultation with Shri Golwalkar Guruji of the RSS”. The BJP, thus, is the political arm of the RSS.

• India: The Hndu-Right BJP’s Plan for the state of Karnataka: Communal Polarisation
  22 December 2017, by siawi3

  Karnataka has been communally polarised by BJP systematically. Twenty churches were attacked in the Dakshina Kannada region when the Yedurappa-led BJP government came to power in 2008. When the state was mourning the death of Kalburgi and Gauri, there were BJP supporters who were openly celebrating these deaths. The leaders and elected representatives of the party were seen saying outrageous things in public. The only agenda of the BJP in Karnataka is to win through the communal vote bank and the current situation is the performance of such an agenda. Lies and rumors are their tools and they are using social media platforms to mobilise people to participate in communal violence.

• The fascist tendencies of rightwing-communal ideology in India
  22 December 2017, by siawi3

  “Apart from the feature of finding the external enemy within (the Jews then, Muslims now) and despising and subjugating it, there are several other details: above all there is the sinister and powerful paramilitary organisation of the RSS shaping the ideological outlook of the government (no other right wing nationalism in the world, so far as I know has anything quite like this); then there is the menace of a vigilante youth group (the ABVP) mimicking the Balillas in Mussolini’s Italy, bullying students on campuses who raise deep questions about caste or about economic inequality or about Kashmir or…; then there is the calling critics of the government ‘treasonous’ and ‘anti-national’; then there is the constant talk of purity in caste which echoes racialist attitudes on blood and descent in European fascism, and finally there is the ‘fusion’ of the interests of the corporations and the state which was Mussolini’s explicit definition of fascism and which is exemplified in the strident neo-liberal aspirations of the Indian government with widespread support among a wide range of classes including of course, as I said, the middle classes.”
