KHAKI SHORTS : The book quotes Guru Golwalkar's book "We or Our Nationhood defined"QUOTE STARTS~~~~~~~~~~~~We or our Nationhood Defined explicitly models 'cultural nationalism' on Adolf Hitler: "German national pride has now become the topic of the day. To keep up the purity of the nation and its culture, Germany shocked the world by her purging the country of the semitic races-the Jews. National pride at its highest has been manifested here. Germany has also shown how well-nigh impossible it is for races and cultures, having differences going to the root, to be assimilated into one united whole, a good lesson for us in Hindustan to learn and profit by."Golwalkar then proceeds to spell out the Indian implication of what he had learnt from Nazism with enviable clarity: "From this standpoint sanctioned by the experience of shrewed old nations, the non-Hindu people in Hindustan must either adopt the Hindu culture and language, must learn to respect and revere Hindu religion, must entertain no idea but the glorification of the Hindu nation ..................... in one word must cease to be foreigners or may stay in the country wholly subordinated to the Hindu nation claiming nothing, deserving no privileges, far less any preferential treatment, nor even citizen's rights."QUOTE ENDS~~~~~~~~~[From the book "Khaki Shorts and Saffron Flags-A Critique ofthe Hindu Right" by Tapan Basu, Pradip Datta, Sumit Sarkar, Tanika Sarkarand Sambuddha Sen. [Published by Orient Longman, 1993, Page 26]
KHAKI SHORTS : For all their chest beating about patriotism, here is another revealingquote from Golwalkar as reproduced in the same book "Khaki Shorts andSaffron Flags-A Critique of the Hindu Right" [Page 29]QUOTE BEGINS~~~~~~~~~~~"The theories of territorial nationalism and of common danger, whichformed the basis for our concept of nation, had deprived us of thepositive and inspiring content of our real Hindu nationhood and made manyof the freedom movements virtually anti-British movements. Beinganti-British was equated with patriotism and nationalism. This reactionaryview has had disastrous effects upon the entire course of the independencestruggle, its leaders and the common people" [Golwalkar quoted in the book"Khaki Shorts and Saffron Flags-A Critique of the Hindu Right" [Page 29]]QUOTE ENDS~~~~~~~~~~~~What was RSS's contribution to the freedom struggle? Page 29 has the following paragraph:QUOTE BEGINS~~~~~~~~~~~~The RSS therefore kept totally aloof from many anti-British movements of the 1940s:the individual civil disobedience of 1940-41, the Quit India struggle, Azad Hind Fauj, the 1945-46 upsurge around the INA trials and the Bombay Naval Mutiny. Yet the early and mid-1940s remained a period of rapid growth, with the number of 'shakhas' doubling between 1940 and '42, and with 10000 'swayamsevaks' being trained by 1945 in Officers Training Camps. Like the Muslim League and the other Hindu communal groups, the RSS too benefited from the fact that it was never a target for British wartime repression. But much more important was the way Hindu and Muslim communalism were feeding into each other"

KHAKI SHORTS : QUOTE ENDS~~~~~~~~~~["Khaki Shorts and Saffron Flags-A Critique of the Hindu Right" [Page 29]]All the quotes provided by me has been posted twice earlier. First, when Istarted the thread. Second, when Rajiv entered the discussion. This is thethird time I am providing the same quotes. This provesa) Rajiv does not read others posts before responding to itorb) He is dyslexic.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Rajiv, firstly, you argued that the refusal by Vajpayee, Advani and co tosevere ties with RSS is because ties with RSS is similar to the ties ofmotherhood. I then pointed out that you can change your association withan organisation but you cannot change your mother. In response we have thebrillian retort from you that I have underlined above. Your argumentsspeak for themselves. Not Partha Bannerjee. In the internet he has denounced RSS of which he wasa member. You argued that RSS is for character building. You put forward JafferSharief as an ardent RSS fan and member. Now, when I point out thescandals associated with Jaffer, you blame it on Congress. Congress, ofcourse is corrupt. The point is that RSS activ ists can also be corrupttoo.
