Well, Sangh Parivar creating a Hindu-Muslim divide...really funny! Mr. Ganguli would have earned a few pats had he shown some audacity in understanding what exactly the Sangh Parivar has done and is doing. He does not want to and none amongst the pseudo-secular brigade wants either.
The Sangh has strived to bring together Hindus all these years. But the so called secular press wants to view Hindus as a collection of castes whereas the Sangh Parivar always wants to refer to them as just Hindus. And that explains why none of them want to highlight the fact that Sangh founder Dr. Hedgewar achieved what Gandhiji was yet to - getting all sections of Hindus including Dalits together through their periodic camps. Gandhiji was surprised to find Dalits sitting alongwith so called upper castes in the Wardha camp and having food together! And this was in mid-1930s.
Nehru conveniently decided to think of RSS as the Congress' political competitor. And then began the trouble because the Congress thought only it was secular (read pro-minority and anti-Hindu) which automatically made everyone else including the RSS that was working to bring Hindus together, communal....
I don't think I should have argued so much. Why should I again care for some Ganguli when none from the RSS have cared for and instead focused their energies on the good work they were doing. But then silence is sometimes mistaken as admission of guilt and perhaps more so in case of the Sangh Parivar, I suppose..
