Top Hindutva body head worships
guns, abhors politics
WSN Network
 Following its
two pronged strategy of continually assimilating the minorities and
adding an aggressive edge to the Hindutva inspired hate ideology of
brahamnical powers, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in
India
is pressing all buttons to propel its perfidious agenda.
Mocking even the
mock father of Indian nation, MK Gandhi, the RSS chief Mohan Rao
Bhagwat, again reiterated that Hindustan was a Hindu Rashtra, and
“Hindutva is the only solution to the world’s problems, and India
needs to don the role of Vishwa Guru (world teacher).”
The RSS is
strongly aligning itself with Narendra Modi line of thought within
the Indian right of center politics and sent clear signals with the
RSS chief not only defending Modi’s action of taking away heavy
assault weapons from his NSG guards and worshipping these guns,
ammunition and wireless sets but even doing a similar pooja of the
guns himself.
“The nation can
be strengthened only by making it Sanghmay (RSS-ised),” said Mohan
Rao Bhagwat to remove any doubt as to what he meant by backing Modi.
His words were a clear reflection of the well known Modi quote that
India can developm further by repeating the Gujarat experiment.
 Ironically, and
perhaps fittingly in some ways, Bhagwat performed Shastra Poojan
(weapons worship) on the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, making clear
not only th hollowness of RSS’ own peace agenda but also bringing
out the shallowness of Gandhi’s ostensible non-violence theory.
In other
dangerous remarks, Bhagwat virtually wrote off the role of politics
as a means of building nation and said, “Without contesting a single
election, the RSS has acquired Swaamitva (hegemony) over society. It
is the only experiment in independent India that has constantly
enhanced the nation’s fame and prestige.”
Bhagwat’s
comments were a clear aside and an insult to the BJP and came even
as Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Rajnath Singh sat among
the audience. Neither Rajnath Singh nor India’s civil society have
asked Bhagwat how exactly does he plan to build his country in an
ideal mode by shunning politics, unless the route available to him
is akin to the Narendra Modi model in Gujarat where whole
communalization of politics has yielded dividends which the BJP is
lapping up greedily and the RSS eyes to expand even further.

Notice the change? Here’s why
The minorities
must take serious note of the fact that the RSS leaders are now
fanning out and penetrating among the middle classes. Mohan
Bhagwat did not choose his Jhandewalan headquarters in Delhi or
the Nagpur headquarters of the RSS for performing shastar pooja.
Instead, he landed in the congested lanes and bylanes of Delhi’s
suburb Dwarka to make the traditional address in the Capital for
shastra puja.
Dwarka is one
of the fastest growing suburbs located in
Delhi’s south-west.
The presence of
Bhagwat was expected to give a boost to the cadres that the RSS
has been seeking to expand in the suburb that’s emerging as home
to white collar migrants.
His Friday
address was attended by an estimated 15,000 RSS cadres clad in
their traditional khaki short pants, white shirts and black
caps. In the decade that the suburb has come into being, the
84-year-old Hindu nationalist organization has set up 200
shakhas (daily assemblies) in Dwarka.
A report in
Delhi’s respected economic daily Mint explained how the suburb
also represents the new and more flexible face of the RSS.
Keeping in mind the fact that potential cadres will come from
professional ranks, the RSS has ensured timings and the regimen
are flexible. While conventionally, the shakhas have operated in
the morning and entailed exercise drills—as part of the efforts
to create a disciplined cadre—the RSS has now included night
shakhas in areas such as Dwarka to accommodate working
professionals.
Exhorting the
assembled cadres in Dwarka to make the nation Sanghmayi
(drenched in RSS following), Bhagwat said: “While our nation has
the reputation, it has utterly failed to secure supremacy in the
world arena. Our values of truth and non-violence cannot be
asserted until we wield and worship power, something which the
RSS preaches and practices.”
Clearly, the
rebuilding efforts are designed to reposition the RSS as an
acceptable ideological faith to a rapidly evolving demography,
moving away from the traditional perception of being dominated
by the upper castes.
