I don’t consider Compass the press. I also don’t consider the charges leveled against the RSS to be accurate, whether they come from India or America.

Me neither.

At least I have never heard the RSS calling for removal of foreigners, asking for Sadhus to make the laws, using "Sanskrit" (Hindu) calender (although thats more accurate the Gregorian calender), or banning modern technology. A lot of these claims are exaggerated. There is a lot of deliberate disinformation campaign directed from the west.

The RSS is theocratic in the sense that its asking for more Hinduisation of the constitution, and recognition of India as a Hindu nation. Some of their ideologies are more inline with that of the Christian conservatives in US.

I am against both Hindu Nationalists and Christian conservatives in that regard. At least in India’s case I don't believe in making religion part of politics. Constitutionally India should remain secular. In that respect even religious conversion and evangelical fascism should not be allowed, its not part of Indian culture.
