People dont understand that Hindu extrimist groups are not all subsets of RSS. Bajrang Dal is one group which is completely anti Muslim and it has nothing to do with RSS.as an atheist guy who attended RSS for 2-3 years some years back, I would like to state some facts about the organization:
they run branches/shakhas where they work on improving physical fitness and nationalistic pride among kids/ youth.
lathi/ stick fight training is taught as a self defense tool, and you will be shouted at if you ever tried to hurt anyone randomly with the stick.
the word Muslim was never mentioned, not even once, in the 2-3 years I was there.
they have a separate Muslim wing- which has membership in millions.
they have mass meetings, where the tone is secular to hindu nationalistic.
the members are largely secular, and do not care about hindutva much. It is considered as a place to learn discipline and play games.
I have a small dislike for the pro hindutva elements in some of the oldies. Young Hindus are largely secular / atheistic.
RSS talks bout HINDUTVA which is differnt from the so called definition of extrimists. This HINDUTVA is cultural in nature and talks bout Unity in Diversity. Go listen to last 4,5 speeches by Mohan Bhagwat. HE says India is a hindu nation. It doesnt mean others shud be prosecuted or annihilated. Thats what the impression Pakistan has and thats completely due to parties like Congress which has demonised the opposition for personal votebank politics. Finally, karma bites back we see where Congress today is.
People today have accepted HINDUTVA. But again, its not Bajrang Dal type Hindutva which says Muslims and minoroties are demons. India will never accept this kind of ideology. This is BJP/RSS style Hindutva which talks bout culture and traditions of this land. Its similar to that in Europe and America. We all are allowed and invited to live there but we will have to learn their respective languages and traditions. So is Europe doomed? Is America doomed. Identity is the root cause of prosperity of any civilization. Just coz Pakistanis suffer identity crises doesnt mean our stance is wrong.
Even our region deserves the same. Bangladeshis are proud of their identity, Indians in their own way are proud of their culture and tradition and RSS is only bettering it.
Pakistan is and will always be in identity crises. Reason is simple, no matter how much we call them, they will not want to be part of Subcontinent culture and on the other side Mideastern countries will never accept them no matter how much they want. Its on Pakistanis to decide to be a part of Hindutva (Name given by Persians for ALL PEOPLE of Subcontinent). And once again, its not the Hindutva which includes Ghar wapasi kind of bullshits.. Its the Hindutva which gives u identity. Some reason RSS Muslim wing called MUSLIM JAGRAN MANCH is thriving with so many educated Muslims.
