RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat in a book release programme said that the DNA of Muslims and Hindus are one. The author of the book titled, ‘The Meeting of Minds: A Bridging Initiative’ Dr. Khwaja Iftikar Ahmad is a Muslim and he is part of the RSS created organisation, ‘Muslim Rashtriya Manch’. (Muslim National Front). In a sense it was a RSS function. Therefore, much need not to be said about its own function, but as much fuss has been made by the media and there is a lot of praising by many of this changed stance of the RSS. Hence, it is necessary to fathom the real intent of the RSS.
Will it really follow the spoken words?
What is its real interest and intent?
Have not RSS, Brahmins, right from the past generations changed their stand time to time?
RSS is the extension of the Arya Brahman ideology.
Dr. Ambedkar in his treatise ‘Riddles in Hinduism’ has outlined how Brahmins have changed their stand and practices right from the Vedic period. In the introduction of this book itself he says –
‘The Brahmins have propagated the view that the Hindu civilisation is Sanatan, eternal. In this book I have attempted to show that this view is not in accord with the facts and that Hindu society has changed from time to time.’ (Riddles in Hinduism, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar : Writings and Speeches, vol. 4, Education Department, Government of Maharashtra, 1987).
There are 32 Riddles in the book in which he has exposed the changing position of Brahmins, including the Riddle of Rama and Krishna on which great hue and drum beating was done and copies of the book were burnt by Maratha Mahasangh and Hindu outfits.
Now, BJP and RSS both are taking a stand that they were not against reservation. But, this lie is so obvious that nobody will believe. Because, both BJP and RSS were against Mandal Commission and it was they who had launched fierceful agitation against Mandal commission which was declared by V. P. Singh in August 1990. L. K. Adwani launched Ram temple yatra (Kamandal) obviously against Mandal decision and withdrew the support to Janata Dal government dislodging it.
Dr. Ambedkar exposed the changing stance of the Hindus and how they had promoted and demoted their Gods, scriptures like Vedas, Smritis and Puranas.
Dr. Ambedkar says, ‘It will be noticed how the Brahmins have changed. There was a time when they worshipped Vedic Gods. Then came the time when they abandoned Vedic Gods and started worshipping non-Vedic Gods. Further he says,’ Not only the Brahmins abandoned their Vedic Gods but there are cases where they have become the worshippers of Muslim Pirs.’ (Introduction).
It is axiomatic that when Ambedkar says, their religion is not Sanatan – eternal he hints at their eternal greed, opportunism.
The recent statement of RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat that DNA of Muslims and Hindus is same is in keeping with their historical changing stances.
Right from the independence movement they were calling Muslims as enemies.
It is as clear as sunlight that almost all upper caste Hindu leaders were of the same views. V.D. Savarkar, Hindu Mahasabha leader was in forefront to spread enmity against Muslims. Ex. RSS Chief M. S. Golwalkar in his writings till his last sermons described Muslims as enemies. He also said that every locality of Muslims in India is mini Pakistan.
Now, we hear in the 21st century RSS Chief saying that Muslims have the same DNA as Hindus.
Is this not taking a topsy-turvy stand?
This stand is against their most revered Guru – Golwalkar. Because of his untiring efforts RSS became the force we see today. He along with Hedgewar gave RSS strong foundation. None other than him gave the theory of Hindu nation according to which RSS came to this dominant position.
During its second term BJP enacted laws against Muslims. They are – Teen Talaq and scraping of Article 370, CAA, NRC. CAA was taking out their very citizenship.
But now RSS chief is saying that DNA of Muslims and Hindus is the same. Mohan Bhagwat has also said that their citizenship will not end. What was the earlier stand of RSS on citizenship?
According to Golwalkar ‘the non-Hindu people in Hindustan must learn to respect and hold Hindu religion in reverence. They must entertain no idea except that of glorification of Hindu race and culture. In brief they should cease to be foreigners or may stay in this country wholly subordinate to the Hindu Nation, claiming nothing, deserving no privileges far less preferential treatment, not even citizens rights. (We or our nationhood Defined,M.S. Golwalkar, 1939, p.47-48)
That means RSS has changed their stand of calling Muslims as enemies. This change in their outlook of making enemy a brother is intriguing. Will this be their permanent stand?
Is RSS making its revered Guru irrelevant today?
If this happens and RSS defies Golwalkar that means RSS is giving up its Hindu nation concept? Really?
On Reservations :
Now, BJP and RSS both are taking a stand that they were not against reservation. But, this lie is so obvious that nobody will believe. Because, both BJP and RSS were against Mandal commission and it was they who had launched fierceful agitation against Mandal commission which was declared by V. P. Singh in August 1990. L.K. Adwani launched Ram temple yatra (Kamandal) obviously against Mandal decision and withdrew the support to Janata Dal government dislodging it. At that time they and many more upper caste organisations were demanding reservation on economic grounds.
Now, the same outfits are talking of caste based reservations. BJP has introduced the Bill in the Lok sabha and passed it, with the support of opposition giving rights to the states for inclusion of castes to provide reservation.
Modi has inducted many OBC and S. C. ministers recently in the cabinet. This is also followed by the statement of Mr. Hosbale, General Secretary of the RSS, claiming that RSS was always in favour of reservation.
Are people blind or deaf that they did not see or hear the uproar of anti-, Mandal agitations by these very organisations?
As I have pointed earlier, their ideological stand is not permanent. Their greed is constant. The statements of leaders are not consistent.
Golwalkar himself said in his book, ‘Bunch of Thoughts’ that we do not follow any book, any great personality all the time. Our aim is our guide. So the changed stand is not against their aim. Their greed will remain. The changing stances are deceptive.
