Editorial RSS intends toRuin the Soul of our State

The political strategy that the RSS has perfected is to keep the attention of the masses distracted while their governments in the Centre and State bungle governance, kill Constitutional institutions and handover the Nation to their few wealthy friends.

Modi ji, along with his friends in the media, has perfected many techniques of distraction, but the BJP’s favorite form of distraction is the fear of an imagined enemy. The imagined enemy is a fellow Indian who does not agree with the RSS’s political agenda or does not fit into their simplistic, drab, black and white image of India. Kashmiris, JNU Students, tribal and dalit activists, journalists who ask questions and opposition political workers are all collectively presented as terrorists, ‘tukde-tukde’ gang, urban naxals or simply anti-national.

However, the most persistent and tragic targeting has been that of the Indian Muslim man. This is our own brother and countryman. Born in this same soil, raising his family in the same land, living his life and building his dreams in the same Country as all of us. His forefathers shed their blood to free our Country from slavery. They rejected the idea that they would be unsafe in India where they were a minority. Their sweat is India’s fields, factories and work sites. Their blood is in the borders that we defend. Their spirit is in the culture and traditions that make us who we are. They are us, not some separate other.

It is these brothers of ours against whom the RSS has waged a vicious propaganda campaign. The centrepiece of the campaign is always a law that is passed to ‘protect’ society from some imagined crime that Muslim men are accused of. The goal of the legislation is not to protect anyone, simply to create a false impression in the minds of people that Muslim men are dangerous and must be feared. As part of this campaign, Muslim men have been painted as habitual cow-slaughterers, wife-haters, Covid-spreaders and much worse.

The latest sorry episode in this campaign is the floating of the fear of so called ‘love jihad’. Muslim men are accused of hatching an elaborate plot of luring Hindu girls and forcing them to convert to Islam. Any sensible person who thinks for a few minutes will see how nonsensical this is! But BJP governments around the Country are rushing to pass legislations to ‘protect’ our daughters. These legislations will of course protect no one. They will insult girls by the implication that they are not fit enough to make their own choices, they will insult families with the implication that they are not fit enough to protect their children, they will victimize those poor couples who have found love beyond the borders of their religion, they will stigmatize the Muslim male as a threat to society.

Meanwhile, the economy collapses, unemployment soars, prices sky-rocket and the Nation’s future looks increasingly grim. Wah Modi ji, Wah!

The RSS is trying to tear apart the fabric of trust and shared nationhood that we Indians have worked so hard to build. It is the patriotic duty of every Indian to resist this agenda with all their might. Jai Hind. Jai Congress.Jai Jagat.
