Isn’t the Sangh's divisive politics anti-national?
Prabhakar Sinha
There are several anti-national acts, but the most destructive is dividing Indians as loyal and less loyal citizens or portraying one section as an enemy of the other. Still, the Sangh Parivar while swearing in the name of being loyal sons of Bharat Mata has been dealing her this death blow. It is not their intention to destroy India, but they are unable to realise that their policy of hostility to the minorities is anti-national and would destroy her. The cause of this blindness to our national interest is genetic .
The RSS was founded in 1925.
Its first Sar Sangh Sanchalak Hedgevar made it clear that it was not to join the National Movement against the British and was formed to 'oppose ' the yavan-snakes ( i.e. the Muslims ) who, reared on the milk of non-cooperation , were provoking riots in the nation with their poisonous hissing. ‘Its next Sar Sanchalak M.S .Golwarkar in his book We or Our Nationhood Defined ( 1938 ) also laid down conditions for the Non-Hindus if they wanted to remain in Hindustan as her citizens .The condition stipulated that they "must either adopt the Hindu culture and language, must learn to respect and revere the Hindu religion , must entertain no idea but the glorification of the Hindu nation .."Or be prepared to be given no right as citizens. This feeling of hatred and hostility was further intensified when the country was partitioned on the Two Nation Theory i.e. The Hindus and Muslims are two distinct nationalities and could not live together in one nation ..Pakistan chose to declare herself an Islamic State and did not give equal right to the non -Muslim citizens on a par with the Muslims of the country. They follow the Sharia , the Muslim law , which denies even Muslim women equality with men. Muslim women are also subject to unjust and inhuman provisions of the Sharia .It would be suicidal for India to be like Pakistan -a nation which discriminates against her own citizens on the basis of their religion and ill-treats them .The Sangh's policy of hostility to the minorities would make India a Hindu Pakistan .
The Sangh's fixation with the cause of its birth and genetic hatred for the Muslims has made it blind to India's vital interest and has been impelling it to indulge in anti-national activities in the mistaken belief that they are patriotic acts .Their fixation with the Muslims as enemies raise their hackles at a slight rise in their number or the rate of birth. They have been pressing the panic button and exhorting the Hindus to produce more children because the growth rate of the Muslims is .7% higher than that of the Hindus.
There are more than 79 crores Hindus and a little over 17 crores Muslims in the country which makes the difference in their rate of growth of no consequence . .According to a TV channel if both the communities continued to grow at the present rate, it would take 270 years for both the communities to be equal in number. If that really happens , India's population after 270 years would rise to 13000 crores -an impossible and unsustainable proposition. But the moot question is whether it would be in India's interest to make her own citizens fight one another for the next three centuries due to the difference in their religion .?

We have a shining examples of achieving integration of hostile sections of the people of a country to learn from .The Whites of South Africa are of European origin .who colonised the country , exploited it and finally settled down there and ruled it most cruelly. Under their policy of racial discrimination , they treated the original inhabitants of the country (who were black ) as worse than animals. Nelson Mandela himself spent 27 years in jail for his struggle for the rights of the people of South Africa .When he finally succeeded , he did not declare the Whites as Foreigners or choose to settle scores with them .Instead , the original inhabitants of South Africa accepted them as citizens on an equal footing forgetting and forgiving the inhuman treatment they had been receiving from them. It was done despite the fact that the Whites continue to be racially different and are descendants of the Dutch colonisers .In a sharp contrast ,minorities of India are of the same stock as the majority community and are not foreigners .They have not been ruling India for more than last 150 years and are not responsible for cruel or inhuman treatment of the Hindus .It is mischievous to rake up what some of the Muslim rulers might have done more than 200 years ago.
When the Indians committing atrocities as employees of the British government were embraced with love and honour after independence .It is also illogical that the RSS , which did not oppose the exploitation of Bharat Mata and the atrocities committed by the British rulers on her sons and daughters ,should be so hostile to the Muslim citizens of the country , who have done no harm and have been sailing in the same boat with the others .It is also no less irrational that an organisation, which so comfortably grew under the benign patronage of the foreign rulers looting Bharat Mata should be so hostile to some children simply because of the place of origin of their religions .The root cause of this irrationality is that the RSS born of hatred for the Muslims and programmed to oppose the community in a spirit of a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye continues to burn with blind hatred and revenge for the Muslims ,and is unable to realise that it is destroying the Bharat Mata it believes it loves and serves .
