    Secrets of RSS DEMYSTIFYING THE SANGH (The Largest Indian NGO in the World) by Ratan Sharda © Ratan Sharda E-book of second edition released May, 2015 Ratan Sharda, Mumbai, India Email:[email protected]; [email protected] License Notes This ebook is licensed for your personal enjoyment only.

If you’re reading this book and didnot purchase it, or it was not purchased for your use only, then please return to yourfavorite ebook retailer and purchase your own copy. Thank you for respecting the hardwork of this author. About the Book Narendra Modi, the present Prime Minister of India, is a true blue RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or National Volunteers Organization) swayamsevak or volunteer. More importantly, he is a product of prachaarak system, a unique institution of RSS. More than his election campaigns, his conduct after becoming the Prime Minister really tells us how a responsible RSS worker and prachaarak responds to any responsibility he is entrusted with. His rise is also illustrative example of submission by author in this book that RSS has been able to design a system that can create ‘extraordinary achievers out of ordinary people’. When the first edition of Secrets of RSS was released, air was thick with motivated propaganda about ‘Saffron terror’ and RSS was the favourite whipping boy as the face of ‘Hindu fascism’. Now as the second edition is ready for release, environment has transformed radically.

  • Hindu Responses to Religious Diversity and the Nature of Post-Mortem Progress
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo Hindu Responses to Religious Diversity and the Nature of Post-Mortem Progress The last two hundred years of Hindu–Christian encounters have produced distinctive forms of Hindu thought which, while often rooted in the broad philosophical-cultural continuities of Vedic outlooks, grappled with, on the one hand, the colonial pressures of European modernity, and, on the other hand, the numerous critiques by Christian theologians and missionaries on the Hindu life-worlds. Thus, the spectrum of Hindu responses from Raja Rammohun Roy through Swami Vivekananda to S. Radhakrishnan demonstrates attempts to creatively engage with Christian representations of Hindu belief and practice, by accepting their prima facie validity at one level while negating their adequacy at another. For instance, these figures of neo-Hinduism accepted that such ‘corruptions’ as Hinduism’s alleged idol- worship, anti-worldly ethic, caste-based distinctions and the like were all too visible on the socio-cultural domain, while they formulated revamped Vedic or Vedantic visions within which these were to be either rejected as excrescences or given demythologised interpretations. In Swami Vivekananda, we find on some occasions a more strident rejection of certain aspects of western civilization as steeped in materialist ‘excesses’ which needed to be purged through the light of Vedantic wisdom. Through such hermeneutical processes of retrieval, often carried out within contexts structured by British colonialism, these figures were able to offer forms of Hinduism that were signifiers not of the Oriental depravity that the British administrators, scholars and missionaries had claimed to perceive on the Indian landscapes but of a spiritual depth that transcended national, cultural and ethnic boundaries.

  • E-Digest on Ambedkar's Appropriation by Hindutva Ideology
    Ambedkar’s Appropriation by Hindutva Ideology An E-Digest Compiled by Ram Puniyani (For Private Circulation) Center for Study of Society and Secularism & All India Secular Forum 602 & 603, New Silver Star, Behind BEST Bus Depot, Santacruz (E), Mumbai: - 400 055. E-mail: [email protected], www.csss-isla.com Page | 1 E-Digest - Ambedkar’s Appropriation by Hindutva Ideology Preface Many a debates are raging in various circles related to Ambedkar’s ideology. On one hand the RSS combine has been very active to prove that RSS ideology is close to Ambedkar’s ideology. In this direction RSS mouth pieces Organizer (English) and Panchjanya (Hindi) brought out special supplements on the occasion of anniversary of Ambedkar, praising him. This is very surprising as RSS is for Hindu nation while Ambedkar has pointed out that Hindu Raj will be the biggest calamity for dalits. The second debate is about Ambedkar-Gandhi. This came to forefront with Arundhati Roy’s introduction to Ambedkar’s ‘Annihilation of Caste’ published by Navayana. In her introduction ‘Doctor and the Saint’ Roy is critical of Gandhi’s various ideas. This digest brings together some of the essays and articles by various scholars-activists on the theme. Hope this will help us clarify the underlying issues.

  • Pravasi Bharatiya Divas 2012 Global Indian
    PRAVASI BHARATIYA DIVAS 2012 January 7-9, 2012 JAIPUR GLOBAL INDIAN – INCLUSIVE GROWTH MINISTRY OF OVERSEAS INDIAN AFFAIRS CONFEDERATION OF INDIAN INDUSTRY GOVERNMENT OF RAJASTHAN Pravasi Bharatiya Divas 2012 January 7-9, 2012 Jaipur Global Indian – Inclusive Growth Theme Paper PREFACE During 2011, the world witnessed amazing revolutions where ordinary people gathered in hundreds of thousands to reiterate their basic freedoms and human rights. In some countries, these mass protests changed decades-old regimes; in others, they wrought significant changes. For the most part, the gatherings were determined to tread the path of peaceful and non-violent resistance, a path whose efficacy was so well demonstrated during India’s freedom struggle. The legacy of Mahatma Gandhi reverberated once more in the world, seventy-three years after his demise. Mahatma Gandhi’s tenets were forged during his long stay in colonial South Africa. It was when he returned to India that the force of his ideas found resonance and succeeded in wresting India’s Independence. Marking the return of Mahatma Gandhi to his home country, the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas celebrates for the tenth consecutive year the remarkable contributions of Overseas Indians to the world. The convention is the annual flagship event of the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs in partnership with the Confederation of Indian Industry. With the Government of Rajasthan as partner for the forthcoming convention, it is being held in January 2012 at Jaipur. Since 2003, the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas has emerged as the focal platform of engagement between India and its children overseas. The PBD series of conventions reiterates each year the powerful bonds of ‘Indian-ness’ that continue to link Pravasis with their emotional homeland, while recognizing the myriad ways that Overseas Indians have integrated with and enriched their countries of citizenship or residence.

  • Indian Diaspora and Global Organizations: Communities and Con­Tested Boundaries
    Bhat, Chandrashekhar (2018): Indian Diaspora and Global Organizations: Communities and Con tested Boundaries. In: Elfriede Hermann and Antonie Fuhse (eds.): India Beyond India: Dilemmas of Belonging. Göttingen: Göttingen University Press (Göttingen Series in Social and Cultural Anthropology, 12), pp. 27–48. Doi: 10.17875/gup2020-1262 2 Indian Diaspora and Global Organizations: Communities and Contested Boundaries Chandrashekhar Bhat Introduction This chapter focuses on the emergence of Indian diaspora organizations operating at the global level to articulate their socio-cultural, economic and political interests. The Indian diaspora comprises communities no less diversified than those found in the land of origin, often reflecting these diversities through a wide variety of ethnic minority associations. Unlike the ethnic associations of Indian immigrants, which are formed specifically to address their immediate concerns in the context of adjust- ment and integration into the ‘host society,’ the diaspora organizations are essentially transnational, uniting global collectives based on national, subnational, linguistic, caste or religious identities. These diversities are further compounded on a tempo- ral plane, differentiating the descendants of early colonial indentured immigrants (PIO, i.e. the Persons of Indian Origin diaspora) from later immigrants who left after India’s Independence (NRI, i.e. the Non-Resident Indian diaspora). The dynamics of these diversities carry implications for the grouping and regrouping of Indian diaspora communities: all of them compete and contend in their efforts to form global organizations. This chapter explores the formation of pan-Indian Global Organizations of Peo- ple of Indian Origin (GOPIO) and the regional / linguistic organizations formed, for example, by the Telugu, Gujarati and Punjabi communities.
