Golwalkar and one of the organisation’s (and in general, that of Hindutva followers’) heroes, V.D. Savarkar, were admirers of Hitler, mainly for his “cultural nationalism” and his persecution of the Jews — the latter even warning that one day Muslims of the “League type” would “play the part of German Jews”.

• India: Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament and Peace (CNDP) expresses shock at the Indian Prime Minister’s public nuclear sabre-rattling

  Such cavalier boasts and threats may provoke a war of words leading to an unwanted and unwarranted escalation of inter-country tensions which in turn can set off a very dangerous dynamic.

  5 April 2019, by siawi3

  29 April 2018, by siawi3

  Along with these civil servants and countless other citizens of India and the world at large, we wish to express our deep anger and anguish over the events in Kathua and Unnao and the aftermath of these events; over the efforts, in both cases, of those administering the relevant States to protect the alleged perpetrators of these monstrous crimes; over the subsequent profoundly distasteful efforts of rationalisation, deflection and diversion that have been so much in evidence in the reactions of your party’s spokespersons in the media; and finally over your own prolonged (and by now familiar) silence that was broken only recently with wholly inadequate, platitudinous, and non-specific assurances of justice for the victims.

  23 April 2017, by siawi3

  “Please don’t serve us this hatred in the name of religion. Stop these hate crimes against people belonging to other communities in the name of Hinduism. I have already seen what radical Islam can do to a society... I truly do not want Hinduism going the same way.”

• India: Militarising Minds, Hindutvaising the Nation
  10 August 2019, by siawi3

  Vidya Bharati, the education wing of the RSS, which already runs 20,000 schools across India, would be running this military school as well. The project of running a military school under RSS is worrisome also because of earlier experiences which were concretised with the intervention and involvement of Hindutva activists.
