Johari's window and self-perception
by Ramesh Nittoor on May 28, 2007 09:32 PM

" We will, of course, be happy.... that some forces of cohesion have been released in society.". This noble intent now needs to get past the predicament RSS faces today vis-a-vis politics. It pivotal role in post-emergency two-pole stable polity can not be denied. In this context to make assertion - "We are an organisation ... far removed from politics." - ring true is not easy. The RSS is a considerable factor in safeguarding of Hindu Samaj and defence of Hindu values, for doing this effectively it needs total depoliticisation. However, to achieve success in communicating its non-political intent, even manifesting it truly within the organisation is not easy. If this de-politicisation effort becomes successful, any political effort to brand RSS as communal would then stand out as interest against Sanatana Dharma; probably serving some competitive Christian or Islamic effort.
