It is indeed sad that very slanderous articles like 'In
Praise of RSS' are published in your. scholarly journal
(July 27). If Godse was in the RSS and later drifted
away from it and then shot the Mahatma, could we say that
it was RSS which inspired him to assassinate Gandhiji'?
Every naxalite (and there are different sects among them)
started off with either the CPI or CPI(M). All of them
are indulging in extortion and are killing one another,
but can we by the logic of P R Ram, say that it is the
CPI(M)/CPI who are the real organisations behind the
mindless murders?
Ram's statement that "many enquiry commissions have
implicated the RSS, even directly in many communal riots"
is a blatant lie, studiously propagated by those who are
self-professed "left democratic, secular, intellectuals".
Firstly, hardly any report of the enquiry commissions
into communal riots has ever been published and not one
of any published has held that the RSS initiated the
riots. Once riots begin, not only will the attackers be
repulsed but certainly numbers prevail in the end.
Another untruth propagated is about the RSS's front
organisations. The fact is that they are no more
numerous than those of the Marxist parties. Would the
communist parties own up all the acts of their fronts,
the trade unions, the civil liberties outfits, the youth,
student, science, etc, organs? The author accuses the
RSS of the propagation of an 'authoritarian' model of
society. What a canard! The Indian Marxists and
communists of all sects are the ones that are preaching
concepts like 'dictatorship of the proletariat',
'vanguard role of the only one party (i e, the
communists'), one-party democracy, one-candidate
elections, only one 'right' thought to be propagated, all
history to be periodically rewritten to glorify the
current leader/helmsman of the only party allowed and so
on. And it is indeed odd that they accuse the RSS of
these very practices which are their stock in trade in
every country they once ruled and ruined.
Ram holds the RSS to be "at the root of communalisation
of society". Does he know which was founded first - the
Muslim League or the RSS; the Khilafat movement or the
RSS; separate electorates and weightage for Muslims or
the RSS; Aligarh Muslim University or the RSS?
Finally, are not the JNU historians, intellectuals,
CPDRs, PUCLs, people's science societies, etc, the
extended arms of the Marxist/communist/naxalite outfits
which themselves claim to belong to the political
multinational world communism (former
Comintern/Cominform)?
