Another religion RSS tries to undermine is Sikhism. They irritate the Sikhs frequently by saying Sikhism is an off-shoot of Hinduism to protect India against the Islamic invaders. Well, Sikhism is an off-shot of the bhakti movement that tried to fight the evil disease of the caste system in the Indian society. Sikhism attempted to give pride and dignity to all occupations which the RSS loaths since this concept clashs directly with the teachings of the Bhagwad Gita.
