Well Akash - you know it better - RSS and KKK are brother organisations which promote the same ideology - Aryan supremacy and hate for others. In Indian context - Aryan supremacy is expressed through the Brahminical order of caste system which is called the varna system. And Varna means color. The symbol is close too... the swastika.

Now that you tell me that you are uninformed let me enlighten you by saying that the swastika is an ancient hindu symbol which was appropriated, albeit with a modification by Hitler. As regards the RSS, let me tell you that the RSS does not believe in any form of supremacy of one caste/race(choose whatever you like....) over the other. Over the years it has unobtrusively tried to break up caste barriers. It recognizes that casteism is the soft underbelly of hinduism. To sum it up, the RSS is a cultural organization aiming at alleviating the cause of the Hindus and in raising Hindu awakening. It does not threaten anyone.

On a side note(and one more in tandem with the drift of this thread) I must say that history is merely a matter of standpoint. It is also politically expedient. The latest researches show that the Aryans were indeed indigenous people and not invaders. The Muslims and British found it convenient to promote this aryan invasion theory as it provided them with an excuse for their alien presence in India. Most westerners are loath to accept this change in theories, for then ugly questions would come up. For if it were proved that the Aryans were indigenous to India and from there spread to the rest of Asia and Europe, they wouldnt be able to tolerate the thoughts of having darker skinned ancestors. But fear not. It is never the object of these researchers to prove anything about the ancestors of the Westerners. For all they care the westerners could claim inheritance from Martians.

Which is why coming back to you "anu_shr" I must repeat that history is a matter of standpoint. If someone(most likely a subversive commie history writer) has drilled the thoughts that you expound in your post then you need to take a relook. Which is also the reason, why the history books were changed in the first place.
