At its centenary, the RSS framed ‘Hindu’ as inclusive of all Indians, yet the philosophical play between ‘meaning’ and ‘content’ reveals tensions that may hinder its broader outreach.
Malviya was booked in Indore in May after RSS worker Vinay Joshi alleged the cartoonist's content on social media hurt religious sentiments of Hindus & disturbed communal harmony.
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has backtracked on his retirement rules. The ‘75-year rule’ was applied selectively to sideline some leaders, but it doesn’t apply to the top brass.
Earlier, the MP High Court had rejected Malviya’s bail plea, saying that he had misused freedom of speech and should have exercised discretion while drawing the caricature.
When Israelis pushed out Arabs in 1948, they didn’t think that embittered refugees would turn into a permanent threat to their new state. This was a catastrophic miscalculation.
ISKP, a sub-continental branch of the Islamic State, is said to have vowed to extend operations in Kashmir, on encouragement from Pakistan’s security establishment.
Pakistan’s army has been a rentier force available to a reasonable bidder. It has never come to the aid of any Muslims including Palestinians or the Gazans, except making noises here and there.
Contrary to what Mr. Sanghvi claims, the two nation theory did not originate with Savarkar – it was first articulated by Syed Ahmed Khan and the Aligarh movement as far back as 1876. Also the true father of Indian independence is Kaiser Wilhelm II who greatly weakened British power during World War I. Whatever remained was destroyed by Hitler and Hirohito. This is why other British colonies also got independence after WWII. We would have gotten independence together with all other British colonies even if Gandhi had not been around.
It appears that the Author Mr Sanghvi has not tried to understand the MK Gandhi’s cunningness. If you look at the various episodes of fasting undertaken by Gandhi then you will realize that they were mostly to force Hindus to follow dictats given by him. And to advantage of Muslims who as usual used violence to suppress Hindus. As if 800 years of atrocities committed by Muslims were not enough, he put forward the idea that ” Minorities ” should be allowed to rule. His views on Mopala genocide of Hindus are well known to repeat here. His only positive contribution in favor of Hindus was that he brought into focus the poor and downtrodden into politics. And if his image can help India learn cleanliness, then why not use it ? After all Congress government spent crores of taxpayers rupees on building MK Gandhi into Mahatma. ( I know like some of my earlier comments this will not be punished. But let Mr Sanghvi read it).
They are afraid Gandhijis true adherence to Hinduism in letter n spirit in word n practice in personal n public life will one day expose their hollow edifice of hindutva. So the hate beneath the titular respect.
