India must have done something right to produce the likes of Dalit and Googlymoogly

Dalit your post No. 44, other than the last sentence, was the best and most incisive piece of writing I have seen on Chowk, bar none. i was going to comment on the posting of an interactor who said that RSS is not a religous organisation but you beat me to it:

"The RSS and its followers pretty much fit all the characteristics above. But the RSS is more a religious fundamentalist party than a fascist party. Both are recognized as close cousins.

The RSS like its Nazi cousins has found an enemy in stereotypical Indian Muslim. It seems that the RSS whole politics revolves around Indian Muslims and they ensure that the RSS followers always stay on the message to demean and demonize Muslims generally and Indian Muslims particularly.

How RSS anti Muslim plank impacts dalits? The truth is that in parts of the country RSS and its sister parties like BJP draw strength from dalits too. Its religious shrieks often blind sections of the dalit population to the real face of the RSS.

The RSS seeks to establish a Hindu religious state. A Hindu religious state means re-enforcing of the caste system. "

I would only add that the RSS very much like the Al Qaida discriminates, indoctrinates and inflicts violence on the basis of religious distinction and no other, unlike the fascists who used race. though of course it uses the same methodology and logic as the fascists as you pointed out these are religous and racial fascism are closely related and the in the case of the RSS the latter hides uneasily just under the surface. For the RSS the hindu rashtra is very much a religious inspiration for its only first class citizens will be hindus and no others. infact the whole concept of hindu rahstra rests very much on religous iconography and inspiration the rest is minor quibling, neither did the RAND scholars claim that the RSS was a mirror of al Qaida, their equivalence was based on the fact that they both inflict religiously inspired violence.


Some of the posts by you and googlymoogly put paid to the lie that dalits or BCs are intelectually inferior in any way, they are outstanding in their ability to cut away the bull and expose the extreme condescension on display in the posts of some interactors, I could almost hear some of them spitting "seig heil" at their monitors.

Their prejudice is apparant in their calling you muslims because that is the ultimate form of dehumanization, delegitimisation and disdain they can subject someone to. The communal posts of these people have been apparent to most interactors at chowk but now even their extreme racism is apparent. One of them was searching for new ways to send funding to the RSS/VHP, the others who consider themselves experts on Islam were propounding insta-analysis of Dalit problems and solutions, when you completely outclassed them they were left with no option but to again delegitimise your opinion.

The two of you did it and did it with humour, sample: "Pmishra, I’m sure you took a long time to write your inane post. Unfortunately, O Turbaned Head Clerk, its all a rehash of what Dr. Ambedkar and others said and set in motion ages ago" . I havent laughed so hard in a long time.

Chowk attracts various kinds of Indians two of these are the hard core and the soft core hindutvavadis you have done well to expose them both.

Kudos
