Sherlock Holmes is led to Prof Moriarty as he sees a link between supposedly unrelated spontaneous crimes. Holmes sees through the opaque mist and finds the machinations of a vast criminal network. Moriarty’s web of criminal influence is not altogether different to the spread of the RSS tentacles into every aspect of Indian life. This Hindu fundamentalist organization which blamed Gandhi for the partition of India has as one of its idealogical gurus Vinayak Damodar Savarkar also the guru of Godse, who murdered Mahatma Gandhi. The RSS has its agents in every sphere of the government, armed forces and educational institutions. All this is under the guise of protecting the Hindu way of life (which includes Hindu Pride) which off course is selective reading of what ancient India was. This organization, through its tentacles, has instigated riots, killed and destroyed property all in the name of maintaining Hindu pride
I was in Chandigarh and visited the Rock garden and saw this piece of art made of waste. This agglomeration of statues of people in brown shorts and white shirts reminded me of RSS members who wear very loose brown shorts that are heavily starched and white shirts. They meet weekly in public parks where they do exercises. Occasionally they also organise parades with a band playing western musical instruments.
Besides being xenophobic and racist this organisation also shows symptoms of multiple-personality-disorder because it uses aspects of western influence while parallely maintaining a diatribe against it and ‘protecting’ Hindu culture from this very influence. Nothing could be more apparent than what Uwe Parpart, Asia Times Online Editor mentions in his article " Destroying the house that Gandhi built" that the co-founder of the RSS B S Moonje met Mussolini in Rome in 1931 and moulded the RSS according to the Fascist Academy of Physical Education.
