India’s RSS urges war against ‘evil’ of casteism

NEW DELHI: Expressing concern over caste-based political and social conflicts, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has urged Hindus to “get rid of this evil at the earliest”.
“Hindu society should take all necessary measures to ensure entry and access to every Hindu, irrespective of his caste, to their homes, temples, religious places, public wells, ponds, and other public places,” a resolution adopted at the three-day national executive meeting of the RSS said.
Around 350 RSS volunteers met in Chitrakoot in Madhya Pradesh to brainstorm on several issues, including its ties with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has been dogged by infighting.
After discussing the issue of casteism on Friday, the first day of the meeting, the organisation concluded that “caste-based untouchability” and “feelings of high caste and low caste” were the main evils haunting the Hindu society.
“Unfortunately, such incidents occur in society even to this day, manifesting the worst form of caste discrimination,” the resolution posted on the organisation’s website said.
“Hindu society will have to get rid of this evil at the earliest,” it said.
Appealing for social harmony and Hindu brotherhood, the organisation warned the community against the political parties, which it said had been drawing “political benefits” out of casteism.
“Inventing caste based new conflicts in the Hindu society for the sake of political benefits has become a trend of many politicians these days.”
“Treacherous elements are also joining hands in this. To create the vote banks, these politicians are encouraging caste-based rivalries, which result in creation of various caste based clashes,” the resolution said.
The RSS also has urged the political parties to keep away from “caste politics” which caused “deep divisions” in the society and to give an “Indian culture” to the democracy.
Citing instances from the Hindu epics it said the religion always stood for lower caste people.
“No religion or sect is inferior to others. The whole society should be aware that every sect and caste of Bharat has a glorious history.”
The national executive has appealed to all sects and castes that they should not look down on other sects and castes. “The entire society should fully realize the essence of ‘Na Hinduh Patito Bhavet’ (No Hindu shall ever come to grief),” the resolution said.
Interestingly, the RSS has been criticised by secular Indians for its Hindu supremacist philosophy and its frequent campaign against other religions, particularly Islam and Christianity.
If the RSS said that, the RSS is a bunch of hypocrites.
The RSS was founded in support of the Fascists in Europe. it is the parent organiztion of the BJP, Shiv Sena, and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, among many others under its umbrella.
It’s the organization that published a booklet on how to implicate Christians and other minorities in false criminal cases.
Are they afraid of competition in the caste/religion/ethnic hate market?
