Let's start with a quick history lesson
There are 2 different(not always opposing) viewpoints in India, one is the Congress party, and one is the RSS.
RSS = Hindu Nationalist organization, long time proponent of an exclusively Hindu India, that has been banned as a terror outfit 3 times.
Congress = previous status quo Indian ruling party that ran Indian government for 49 years.
BJP = India's current ruling party, founded in 1980 as the RSS's political wing (on the ideology of RSS).
Coming to RSS:
There are three characters who have inspired the RSS ideologically, V.D Savarkar, Keshav Hedgewar (1925-1940), and M.S. Golwalkar (1940-1973). Hedgewar translated the ideology of Savarkar while Golwalkar took it ultimate level of Nazism.
- Founded in 1925, the RSS hates the Indian flag, hasn't hoisted it since 1950. They say India is a Hindu nation and its flag should be the symbol of Hindutva(Saffron). It also opposes, and even initially refused to recognize, the secular Indian constitution since it didn't include ancient Hindu law. It is a paramilitary organization that trains young men in camps to use weapons and physical force.
- The man who assassinated Gandhi was an RSS member and is adored by mainstream Hindu nationalist politicians today, who hate Gandhi and Nehru for creating a secular India. Contemporary Hindu nationalist leaders burn effigy of Gandhi.
- RSS wants an exclusively Hindu India, where minorities are unequal to Hindus, if existant at all.
- The RSS is massively involved in rewriting Indian history, where minorities are seen as the villains who invaded India and stopped its march from becoming a glorious nation, and the Hindu civilization as the protagonists.
- RSS and its leaders draw inspiration from right-wing, fascist European groups and their leaders, including Hitler and Mussolini, and their ideas of racial purity. Its long-time chief, M.S. Golwalkar, openly admired Hitler’s “final solution” and wanted to apply the same approach in India to eliminate the country’s minorities(Christians, Muslims, etc.)
- Hindu nationalists believe in Akhand Bharat, a dream of ruling over all of South Asia.
- Killed Gandhi, destroyed 400 year old Babri Mosque to rebuild an ancient Hindu temple, Gujarat Massacre, Communal Violence including mass riots, lynchings & rapes in the name of Love Jihad & Hindutva, deeply committed to creating a Hindu Rashtra.
Savarkar was a convicted criminal turned racist, militant, Hindu supremacist. He was reported to have a homosexual relationship with the assassin of Gandhi, Godse.
Savarkar was a great admirer of Hitler and Mussolini who were the symbol of Nazism and Fascism respectively in that era. He openly supported the agenda of racial supremacy and cultural nationalism.
These are direct quotes from the biggest Hindu nationalist leaders, who's words and writings found the basis of RSS and other Hindu nationalist movements:
If we Hindus in India grow stronger, in time these Muslim friends of the League type will have to play the part of German-Jews instead - Savarkar
There is nothing wrong if Muslims are treated as Jews were in Nazi Germany - Bal Thackeray
If you take Mein Kampf and if you remove the word 'Jew' and put in the word 'Muslim', that is what I believe in - Bal Thackeray
German race pride has now become the topic of the day. To keep up the purity of the race and its culture, Germany shocked the world by her purging the country of the Semitic Races - the Jews ... a good lesson for us in Hindustan for us to learn and profit by - Golwalkar
The admiration of the genocidal agenda of the Hitler is very much intact in the ideological foundation of RSS till today.
How is RSS relevan today? This is the group Narendra Modi(India's current PM) has been a member of since age 10, rose through its ranks, and joined the political branch of the RSS: BJP, which is India's current ruling party. Today, the RSS has branches in more than 50,000 villages, runs thousands of schools, and is part of mainstream society.
Modi writes in his biography that Hedgewar & Golwalkar were the ultimate inspiration for him after joining RSS in teenage. Modi called Golwalkar the "Guru worthy of worship".
Narendra Modi is said to have turned a blind eye, if not actively supported, the pogroms in Gujarat that killed ~2000 Muslims.
Narendra Modi was banned from entering the US UK, and several European countries due to his involvement in the Gujarat 2002 riots and remained banned until his election as prime minister.
India has had 134 internet shut downs in 2018. The second highest country had 12.
12.5 million people of Kashmir have been under total blackout, no internet, phone, TV, and curfew for over 12 days. Reports of mass attacks on Kashmiris, protests of a massive scale were videotaped by BBC while Indian govt. keeps saying everything is peaceful. Over 1300 academics, politicians, teachers, journalists arrested from Kashmir and many sent to different states in the country.
Rights groups in Kashmir say 90-100,000 Kashmiris have been killed since 1989.
17-45,000 Kashmiris have been blinded by pellett guns in recent years.
The Indian military has systematically used rape as a tool in Kashmir
“The ICRC is forced to conclude that the government of India condones torture”
Yet, the Indian armed forces are protected under AFSPA, a special powers act that has resulted in full immunity for indian army, meaning 0 Indian soldiers have ever been convicted or charged with war crimes.
RSS's ideologies have seeped through modern day India and are present in every facet of society. Once you understand the ideology of the RSS, all the moves of their current government start to make more sense including removal of article 370, upcoming population control initiatives which are expected to be aimed at Muslims, India's recent warmongering against Pakistan, etc.
The BJP does not have a single Muslim Member of Parliament among its 303 lawmakers.
The BJP is planning on implementing NRC(National Register of Citizens) and CAB(Citizenship Amendment Bill) across the country to create a Muslim-free India.
This is the result until now:
Propaganda in India.
India has more fake news than anywhere else in the world, report says | Evening Standard
Nationalism is a driving force behind fake news in India | BBC
Propaganda in India is on another level.
Many political groups use WhatsApp to distribute pure propaganda. Consider the description of BJP Cyber Army 400+, a WhatsApp group whose five administrators include Amit Malviya, the head of the BJP’s information-technology division: “This Group is Nationalists Group With Hindu Warriors Working To Save Nation From Break India forces Led politically by congress, communist And religiously by Islam and Christianity.
Nazi Germany had one Leni Riefenstahl. Hindu nationalists have most of Bollywood. Here is one of the biggest Indian actors calling for a "Kashmir solution." Here is another major actor saying he supports Modi govt move on Article 370, says anyone speaking against Govt is doing propaganda. Most of the biggest bollywood stars are pro-BJP and are active in spreading party agendas. Here's a good article on the issue. It's not just bollywood, the biggest Indian cricketers regularly put out hyper-nationalistic tweets and have sometimes even wear Indian military insignia to international cricket games.
There are also many recent songs that are famous in political and religious rallies, and have millions of views on YouTube that have lines such as "Cut the heads off those who refuse to chant Jai Shri Ram" among other blatantly anti-minority lines, which I can link here but they are not in English so you wouldn't understand them.
A media house accidentally reported the truth regarding Kashmir. What happened next is what you expect to see in the dystopian Netflix's Leila:
Complete Subversion Of Media Freedom In Action Against NDTV Founders NDTV literally had to come out and provide a certificate of patriotism because of ONE(1) single video where the reporter was being honest.
And the propaganda isn't limited to normal citizens' lives, there are serious doubts over India's GDP growth rate that the figures have been inflated. Here is an ex-Indian Chief Economic Advisor saying the real Indian GDP growth rate is 4.5% in a paper published at Harvard.
The largest Indian media houses toe the government's line, either due to monetary benefits or massive societal pressures. Try putting a slightly critical video of either India, Indian government, or Narendra Modi on YouTube, Twitter, or Facebook and watch it get immediately swarmed by mass dislikes and hate comments. Even on reddit, go to r/worldnews and click the controversial tab, and you will see all Kashmir related news are downvoted. r/Pakistan also gets regularly swarmed and many posts hovering around the 60-70% upvoted mark.
Multiple Indian cities with Muslim-sounding names have been renamed to Hindu names.
To give you an idea of what the situation on the ground is like, here's some news from India:
6 accused in lynching case of Muslim man acquitted. The lynching was caught on video, with the accused being visible. Before dying, the victim named all the attackers. A local TV channel even did an undercover sting operation, where all the accused accepted the crime.
In 40 of 41 Muzaffarnagar riot cases, including murder, all accused are acquitted
Every single Kashmiri political leader, including pro-India leaders, have been put under house arrest.
A Harvard graduate Indian government worker-turned politician gave this interview to BBC the other day. Next day, he was arrested from Delhi airport and sent to Kashmir in house arrest. 125 Harvard alumni have asked for his release
India has passed a law that allows any person to be designated a terrorist on seemingly broad and ambiguous grounds. It authorises police to detain such suspects for 180 days in judicial custody without legal justification
In Bihar, there were at least 12 incidents of Mob Lynching in last 2 weeks.
Tens if not hundreds of thousands of Hindu nationalists lie in wait in my replies. Have threatened to rape my wife, daughter and mother for writing on Kashmir - CJ Werleman
Editor of one of the largest news agencies in India says dissent is "not okay" and "detrimental to a democracy"
Mainstream Indian news channels regularly refer to Pakistan as terroristan.
Press club of India denies permission to display photos/videos collected by fact-finding team that traveled to Kashmir.
And finally, I got banned from Hindu nationalist subreddit /r/bakchodi and received this message from the sub's mods: Go to Porkistan and cry that india has martyred another jihadi. it is the destiny of your people to only get killed. if you won't die of hunger, you will be killed by our bullets.
It's not in English, so reporting it to Reddit admins won't achieve anything.
ALL OF THIS IS FROM THE LAST 2-3 WEEKS ALONE.
The only question in my mind is that will the world appease Modi as they did Hitler at Munich? Modi isn't the Trump of India. He is the Hitler from the East.
