In Praise of RSS

In Praise of RSS ONE wishes T Mani Chowdary (August 10) had read the piece 'In Praise of RSS', a bit more seriously before coming out with his vitriol. One needs to understand different levels, layers and mechanisms through which 'an' ideology gets actualised through the actions of an individual. The reasons for which the Mahatma was killed by a votary of Hindutva, were the reasons which were being propagated by RSS. The RSS was at the forefront of criticising the Mahatma for 'appeasing Muslims', which according to RSS, in turn made them bold and due to which Pakistan was formed. The provocation for murdering him by a 'soldier of Hindutva' (Godse) came when Mahatma Gandhi advocate giving to Pakistan her share of Rs 56 crore from the treasury.
