I have read this post multiple times
Let's say the poster posted with least knowledge on things, but how are you not a elitist if I am to consider all that you not are (that you pointed so elaborately, given the current atmosphere here. Perhaps pre 2014, you might not have need to do this I feel.)?
Let's grant that, he is posting gibberish but he has a right to speak on a democratic forum no?
Just like you are no Congress or Communist supporter, I too am no RSS supporter. Am just a Telugu guy who by accident found this forum, and joined long back (not as long as back you). One thing I have noticed in my years of reading stuff and learning things, all that you mentioned surprisingly is exactly what Congress says about RSS or let's say the Communist/Leftist/Liberal ilk says about RSS. I am no authority on stuff, as I am just a casual reader and poster. However if one thing I have come to understand, is that every kind of ideology has its agenda. How do we know that, history hasn't been politicized and presented in the way people in power wanted it?
Today RSS and its ilk are in fashion, and they are presenting their view. So if people are speaking the tongue, that isn't what people spoke pre 2014 maybe its just times changing?
This isn't just about someone's post, which clearly is in bad taste and has nothing to do with this thread's purpose. Am just wondering whose tongue are you speaking, or people have been told to speak so far? Isn't it true that victors write the history?
Interestingly, I just came to know how Left got its iron grip on Indian Education. Education minister Syed Nurul Hassan, and he is the one who founded ICHR.
My point is that, whoever were able to get into power used it in a convoluted way. When such people aren't in power, or when the matter is about people who aren't in their camp, is when they talk of values.
There is no Center is there? Its all biases and positions, guised as values. Its extremely elitist of all people you, to call this poster's language sadak chaap English. The other side of coin to RSS or let's call them right wingers, who abuse Leftists as 'Angrez chale gaye .. aulaad chod gaye'.
Did independence hero Mahatma Gandhi advise his political rival to write mercy petitions to the British?

In the letter, the Communist leader SA Dange vouches for his subservience and loyalty towards the British crown in exchange for his release from imprisonment. Communist Party of India (CPI) founder SA Dange’s mercy petitions to the British in 1924 reveals the Communists subservience to the...

Seems that things aren't as black and white, as Congress presents it or Raga says it. There is nuance, and see Mr Dange also seems to have done a mercy petition. I mean if we are going to froth without checking nuance about past, considering that the current times aren't producing enough number of people supporting our view maybe its hand waving? Like you said in another thread, when we talked about history writing in India?
This is not me trying to give a reposte to you, am sure you will bring along lot of your knowledge and point out things I don't know. I hope you will in the least, understand that in the attempt to stay in power Congress/Communists and their pampered Coterie the Leftists in positions of power, have polarized society properly. Why talk about pre independence even? If the lot who are supposed to be so secular and democratic, were so why would the society see such polarization if not for convulsion of power this ilk wielded. One reaps what they sow, and BJP/RSS is what this lot is reaping. Maybe time to enjoy?
