Mainstream WeeklyThe RSS/BJP Government of India started to take several steps to change the basic structure of the present political system in the light of the Hindutva thesis proposed by their father of the modern nation, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. Savarkar’s main thesis in his book Essential of Hindutva though appears to be anti-Muslim and anti-Christian, its hidden agenda is to arrest the Shudra/OBC/Dalit/Adivasi liberation in the post-colonial India. It were the ancestors of these people who built this nation starting with the construction of the Harappan city civilization almost 1500 years before the Aryan Brahmins migrated to this land and composed their fundamental spiritual text, the Rigveda. Savarkar was an ardent follower of Balagangadhara Tilak who opposed Mahatma Phule’s writings and the Satyashodhak Movement. Savarkar theorised Tilak’s ideas and built a militant Hindutva ideology. If Savarkar is awarded Bharat Ratna as Mohan Bhagwat suggested in a recent Mumbai RSS meeting, gradually they will print his photo on the Indian currency notes. The Shudra/Dalit/Adivasis must view this kind of development more seriously and examine how that will affect their future.
