International community and opinion makers are expressing concern about the highly vitiated atmosphere prevailing in India, characterized by various forms of intolerance; especially religious and caste minorities are being persecuted and the country is turning into a “twin brother” of Pakistan under RSS rule.
Modi’s government is apparently controlled by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). It is no secret that mr. Golwalkar, the ideological fountainhead of the RSS, was an admirer of Adolf Hitler and of the Nazi Party. This government is now trying to realize Golwalkar’s dream. Just like in Nazi Germany, they are using propaganda to spread paranoia. It seems like a history repeating itself. They have created a very strong Hindu-communal ideal. The RSS is just communal, not patriotic. The country needed their patriotism before 1947, during the national movement. But they were simply absent then.
It is true that violence and tension existed previously of BJP government too. However, have to keep in mind the fact that the RSS in some way or the other has been connected to these riots in every major report of such previous instances. The world (and Indian) intelligentsia is now perturbed because those people are in power. And even though they are not in power in each State of India, they have a direct role in most of inciting instances there.
Religious and caste minorities are being persecuted all over India. Under RSS rule, India is turning into a “twin brother” of Pakistan.
