"There is no doubt in my mind that the extreme section of Hindu Mahasabha was involved in the conspiracy. The activities of the RSS constituted a clear threat to the existence of Government and State."
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in his letter of July 18, 1948 to Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee
"The speeches of the Sangh leaders are poisonous. It is a result of the venom that Mahatma Gandhi has been assassinated. The followers of the Sangh have celebrated Gandhiji's assassination by distributing sweets."
Sardar Patels letter to the Sarsanghchalak of RSS on 11 September 1948

Go and read History Sir.... I am staunch follower of RSS, and still Mhatma Gandahi is my HERO...It was the father of nation words that sakha syatem of RSS is the practical way of abolishing cast and creed and bringing Harmony in society....I have lot to say about this and about your way of pushing the matter..but I will urge you that first go and read History at least....Being a Hindu itself is a biggest credentials of being a SECULAR according to your standards itself..we have no singular broker of truth...and single book that claims of having every prudence... we prpogate truth...:D

Ankur Somvanshi great to know you considor Gandhi as a hero. But you are wrong about the RSS. The RSS agenda is to maintain their caste haegomony instead of serving the Indian people The RSS wants to portrey the so called contributions of ancient India as the contributions of a particular caste and not all the citizens of India. Just check and see how RSS wants to undermine Buddhism simply beacause it opposed the caste system. They insult Ambedkar who helped the Dalits stay with the Indian religions instead of crossing over to the Abhramic religions simply because Ambedkar wanted to bring down the caste system. They oppose all social reformers who try to fight the caste system. Their goal is very simple, it's maintaining the ancient caste supremacy rather than creating opportunities, respect and properiorty for all Indian citizens.

Mr. Kumar I think you have a preexisting opinion in you mind about hinduism as defined in the NCERT & DCERT history text books. Please think on this that Buddhism, Jainism & Sikhism are part of Hinduism. Similarly Veerashaiva dharma is also a part of Hinduism. Our culture has a rich and magnificient history and has contributed for almost all the fields. It is in this country that people used to quote ramayana & mahabharatha stanza's during tarka when rest of the world didn't knew how to be cultured and by India the culture is been defined. You especially don't have right speak about Dr. Ambedkar as he didn't believe in any caste system at last and he even quit Buddhism. Basically he could'nt find any such religion other than hinduism which is free of spreading hatred. Its my sincere advise that before making any comment please collect the proper information and then place your opinions. I have one more question? Why an organisation should serve a society which is not dare enough to face the reality and betrays their history and above that feels proud of being the same? At this stage An organisation Like RSS should make people to realise their strengths and be proud. Any society should feel proud of their history and look forward to lead the rest of the world. I think RSS is doing a much better work than any other organisation. So once again please Quote facts and not "Media's analysis and opinions".

Hi Kumar, I know RSS as an insider. please do not comment on it without knowing what it is and what it wants to do. Do you know that RSS is the only organization which celebrated the birth centenary of Dr. Ambedkar. If it wanted to retain the caste system, it would not have included people from all the castes. do you know that there are so many leaders in RSS who are not from so called upper caste. People in RSS do not even know, which caste another swayamsevak belongs to. Please read books from Guruji Golwalkar or any other leader of sangh. you will understand sangh better. OR attend some of the sangh functions, discuss with sangh leaders, it will help you understand sangh better.

Dear Mr.Kumar, I would urge you to please visit RSS shakhas regularly for sometime to gain a first hand experience of the activities rather than making opinions on the basis of vitriolic and baseless articles by opponents of RSS.
I really feel sorry for you that you have formed views that are exactly opposite of what people actually beleive in RSS.

Where you find this RSS agenda. I gone through RSS texts, RSS meetings and discussed with RSS friends. I don't find any where. Where you find it? Kindly don't repaet the communists myths here.
Have you ever attended a RSS Shakha and experienced castism? Please don't express bookish opinions which are necessarily based on poisonous theories spread by English newspaper cahins.
