US think-tank calls RSS terrorist, Sangh fumes

Lol....I see viking and hyderabadi starting it off again out here...lol poor RSS terrorists Osho cult is also in
the list...

NEW DELHI: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is furious with an American think-tank for declaring it a
terrorist organisation and lumping it with a host of jihadi organisations and secessionist outfits.

The Sangh leadership has written to the Terrorism Research Centre, protesting against the "terrorist" tag, but
is yet to get a response.

The think-tank has not bothered to take the RSS—which calls itself a cultural organisation—off its website,
leaving the Sangh bosses seething with anger.

Though the East Virginia-based organisation is an obscure outfit, the RSS is not ready to let the "issue" pass.
"It has been there on the list for a while now. We had written to them when we got to know of it and asked
them to remove us from the list, but they have not," said spokesperson Ram Madhav.

The reasons for resentment are not far to seek, for others on the list virtually make up the who’s who of the
terror club.

The 38 shortlisted to give the Sangh company include jihadi biggies like Lashkar-e-Toiba and Hizbul
Mujahideen which have been declared Foreign Terrorist Organisations by the US.

The RSS’s hardcore ideological foe, the Jamaat-IIslami, too has found a place. So have secessionist
orgnaisations like the Ulfa, the NLFT, and ultra-Left groups like the People’s War.

The RSS might find some solace from an interesting inclusion—the Osho cult is also on the list. It is the first
time that the Oshoites, known for their controversial views, have been accused of terrorism.

Though this should raise strong doubts about the criteria used by the centre to slot organisations, the RSS
has reasons to feel surly.

For all its opposition to the "neoimperialist" US, strong sections within it have fancied themselves as the
superpower’s partner in the “civilisational conflict.
