Modi Surrenders before Imperialism

NARENDRA Modi, prime minister and RSS pracharak, has grown up in the Sangh Parivar ideological training schools as a pro-American and pro-imperialist and its latest example is provided by the Modi government on April 12, 2016 when it declared its commitment to challenge the Chinese growing maritime power by announcing its decision to sign within weeks or ‘months’ a Logistics Exchange Memorandum of Agreement with US ‘to provide supplies and fuel to each other’s armed forces from this bases’.

Imperialist Lust and Terrorism

THE latest suicide bomber attacks in Brussels by so-called Islamist Fundamentalist groups or fanatic followers of Iraq-Syria Islamic State (ISIS) ideology of establishing a pure, nonetheless an achronistic tottering idea of a pure Islamic Caliphate has raised many questions about the role of fanatic Islamist religious groups who have taken upon themselves the task or responsibility of spreading ‘violence’ in imperialist western countries to take revenge for oppression and repression of the Arab Muslims by western imperialists.

Constructing ‘Nationhood’ RSS Style

 ARUN Jaitley, the finance minister, has claimed that the BJP has “won the first round in the nationalism debate. The people who were raising anti-India slogans are now forced to say Jai Hind, or Bharat Mata ki Jai”.  This understanding underscores the Sangh Parivar’s jingoistic and purile notion of the ‘nation’. The Sangh Parivar, and indeed Jaitley would do well to remember that Jai Hind and indeed Bharat Mata ki Jai (where Bharat Mata is in chains with a tricolour not on a lion with a saffron flag) are slogans of the freedom struggle which the RSS was never a part of.

Priests of Hindu Sangh Parivar

 Millions of Hindus were made to either participate in yoga exercises led by the Modi-Ramdev combine or they were exposed to the drama of Modi and yoga exercises through television in the whole country. It also became quite clear that the Modi-Ramdev duo led yoga was a projection of Hindu Yoga Vidya and it began with Hindu ritual of ‘OM’ for every participant.

Ishrat Jahan & Ruling Class Pseudo Nationalism

JINGO patriotism and pseudo right wing RSS nationalists have found a suitable partner in CIA double agent David Coleman Headley who has been given clemency in return for turning ‘approver’ in the 26/11 case. This cover for Headley has given him the license to make claims that are politically suitable for the ruling regime and that help it to wipe out the taint that Modi accumulated as chief minister of Gujarat. As part of this exercise, the public prosecutor claims that Headley has given evidence to suggest that Ishrat Jahan was a Lashkar ‘suicide bomber’.

Casteism Killed Rohith

ROHITH Vemula is no more with us. He was born on January 30, 1989 to a poor Scheduled Caste family from Guntur district. Rohith who aspired to be a ‘writer of science like Carl Sagan’ was pursuing his Ph.D. in Science, Technology and Society Studies at the University of Hyderabad (UoH) at the time of his death. He has cleared both the UGC-JRF and CSIR-JRF. He was a scholar of great promise and a vocal student leader.Rohith was not the first, several dalit students have killed themselves in the last decade due to institutional discrimination at University of Hyderabad.

Secularism versus Hindutva

IT is only the ideologues of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, past and present, who have always opposed the idea of secular State because the idea of Hindutva is in antagonistic contradiction with the “basic structure of secular, republican and democratic constitution of India.” It deserves to be clearly emphasised that every controversy around the meaning and concept of Indian secularism has originated from the Sangh Parivar and the RSS swayam sevaks whether Lal Krishna Advani famous for his castigating the secularists as ‘pseudo’ or Rajnath Singh, a loyal RSS swayam sevak and the home ministe

Tipu Sultan: East India Company's Most Formidable Opponent

TIPU Sultan’s place in history has to be judged primarily in terms of the prolonged contest between Mysore and the East India Company (EIC). The Company had to engage in four large-scale wars (the four Anglo-Mysore wars) for over thirty years, from 1766 to 1799, to subjugate Mysore. Throughout the latter half of the eighteenth century, Mysore was the main obstacle to British expansion and consolidation in India.

Ninety Years of RSS

DR KB Hedgewar would never have imagined in his wildest of dreams that an innocuous Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) which he established on Vijaya Dashmi day of October 27, 1925 to impart physical training to Hindus so that they could become physically strong enough to defeat their enemies belonging to other ‘non-Hindu religions’ could in its 90th year become a force to be reckoned with. As much as Mohan Bhagwat becoming so powerful that he would be able to address the whole nation on the RSS day of birth on October 22, 2015.
