RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat says, “If any Hindu thinks that there should be no Muslim in Bharat, he will not remain Hindu.”
This is the oldest trick in the RSS playbook: some words are for the world, and some are for its own members. The RSS has never disavowed its key thinkers and writers. What do they say about Muslims and other minorities?
1. It is well known that the RSS did not contribute to our freedom struggle. Its founder, Hedgewar, was in the Indian National Congress but left it because he was against all religious communities joining the anti-British freedom struggle led by Gandhi. A biography of Hedgewar published by the RSS describes how he parted with the INC because “Gandhiji worked constantly with one eye on Hindu–Muslim unity… But Doctorji sensed danger in that move. In fact, he did not even relish the newfangled slogan of ‘Hindu–Muslim Unity’.” [Seshadri, H. V. (ed.), Dr. Hedgewar, the Epoch-Maker: A Biography, Sahitya Sindhu, Bangalore, 1981, p. 61.]
2. The RSS opposes democracy and has consistently demanded a dictatorship. Golwalkar, in 1940, declared, “RSS inspired by one flag [saffron], one leader and one ideology.” [M. S. Golwalkar, Shri Guruji Samagra Darshan (collected works of Golwalkar in Hindi), Bhartiya Vichar Sadhna, Nagpur, n.d., Volume I, p. 11.]
3. Should we forget what happened to the Muslims of Gujarat under the RSS’s proxy rule? “Daughters were gang-raped in front of their fathers and then had their heads bashed in. Their fathers were doused with petrol and set on fire. Their property was looted. Their businesses were destroyed. And the police stood by and did nothing.” [Hindustan Times, New Delhi, March 21, 2002.]
4. For the RSS, Indian Muslims and Christians are ‘internal threats’ number one and two, respectively.
5. Golwalkar’s Bunch of Thoughts has a long chapter titled ‘Internal Threats’, in which Muslim and Christian citizens of India are described as threats number one and two, respectively. Golwalkar says that Muslim citizens should be treated with perpetual suspicion.
6. Of Christians, Golwalkar says that the community is “out to demolish not only the religious and social fabric of our life”. [Ibid., p. 193.]
7. It is under the RSS’s ideology that Muslims are being subjected to Hindu law in the name of the UCC. Christians are being targeted in the name of draconian “anti-conversion” laws. Not to forget the severe abuse of laws such as the UAPA.
My request to Bhagwat is that he should just recite choice extracts from the poisonous works of Savarkar, Hedgewar, Golwalkar, etc. Let people decide what they make of the RSS.
सभी देशवासियों को स्वतंत्रता दिवस की दिली मुबारकबाद। 🇮🇳
HAPPY 80th Independence Day !
सारे जहाँ से अच्छा, हिंदुस्तान हमारा।
हिंदुस्तान ज़िंदाबाद! जय हिंद! 🇮🇳
Diya Hai shahr ke Hakim Ne Apni police Ko Hukm
Ki Is Kabeela Mein Koi Jawan Na Dikhayi Na De
Tabaahiyon Ka Kisi Ko Nishaan Na Dikhayi Na De
Kuch Aise Aag Lagaao Dhuaa Na Dikhayi Na De
HEARTBREAKING : 💔
We are not Criminals, We only came to fight for our education.
Tears replaced slogans after the allegedly lathi charge at Jantar Mantar, as students were seen crying on the streets. 👇
जब लोकतंत्र की आवाज़ को दबाने की कोशिश होती है, तब सच्चा नेता सत्ता नहीं, जनता के साथ खड़ा होता है।
हैदराबाद के सांसद जनाब असदुद्दीन ओवैसी साहब ने संसद पर��सर में धरने पर बैठे सांसद चंद्रशेखर आज़ाद जी से मुलाकात कर छात्रों के लोकतांत्रिक अधिकारों के समर्थन में अपनी एकजुटता दिखाई।
छात्रों की आवाज़ उठाना, अन्याय के खिलाफ खड़ा होना और संविधान की रक्षा करना ही असली नेतृत्व की पहचान है।
जनाब असदुद्दीन ओवैसी साहब को सलाम। यही होता है जनता के दुख-दर्द में साथ खड़ा होने वाला नेता।

नई दिल्ली: संसद भवन के प्रांगण में छात्रों के मसले पर भूख हड़ताल पर बैठे भीम आर्मी चीफ और सांसद चन्द्रशेखर आजाद से एआईएमआईएम अध्यक्ष बैरिस्टर असदुद्दीन ओवैसी साहब ने मुलाकात की। ओवेसी साहब ने कहा के जम्हूरियत में इख्तिलाफी आवाज को सुनना औ��� गुफ्तगू करना हुकूमत की जिम्मेदारी है।
Instead of addressing the brutal assault on students in Delhi, the government has unleashed suppression and crackdowns. This cowardice exposes their fear of truth and accountability.
20th July will be remembered as a Black Day for Indian democracy.
We demand that the Centre declare 20th July as Coward’s Day — a permanent reminder of this regime’s weakness and tyranny.
जय हिंद!
