Who is true Truth-Seeker and Who is Power-seeker?
Dear Rahul, do you remember the freedom struggle after 1940 taught in the history? (Since you frequently chatter about RSS). Even as the freedom movement was gaining momentum in the country, the entire country was engulfed in the atmosphere of partition. At that time, your great-grandfather was among those who said that we would not allow the partition of the country even if our bodies were cut in pieces. The Hindus believed in him because he felt that the Congress would insist on the truth that this country is one and integral by tradition and culture! However, the seeking after power proved greater than the seeking of truth! The resolution of partition was accepted under the leadership of someone who dreamt of the Prime Minister’s post and the gullible Hindus were pushed on the roads. The seeking after power proved the bane of the Hindus. Therefore, dear Rahul, please don’t teach the difference between truth-seeking (Satyagrah) and power-seeking to us!
The unfortunate assassination of Mahatma Gandhiji took place in 1948. False charges were levelled against RSS and Savarkar. Venerated Guruji was arrested! The same people whom you call champions of non-violence and so-called truth-seekers torched the houses of RSS swayamsevaks, looted them. The same so-called truth-seekers banned the RSS! This ban was placed through your great-grandfather’s lust for power! The agitation that the RSS swayamsevaks did against this injustice is what is called as satyagrah! It was marked as the first and biggest peaceful agitation after the country’s independence. Your great-grandfather’s lust for power was defeated against this seeking for truth! Don’t teach the seeking of truth to us!
Your grandmother’s election was termed invalid by the court in 1975. However, your grandmother’s lust for power and your uncle’s ambition proved more influential even when the truthful way of going to court was still available. Arrests, censorship, atrocities…what was there that both of them did not do? What was the inspiration behind it? Truth-seeking or power-seeking? (Isn’t the answer difficult?) on contrary, the swayamsevaks went on satyagrah when the RSS was banned! Thousands of swayamsevaks went to jail and spoke against the injustice! The people did the justice and the truth prevailed! Those who took the power head on at the time were RSS swayamsevaks. Your grandmother was seeking after power and RSS swayamsevaks were seeking the truth. Yet again, the seeking of truth triumphed and lust for power was defeated!
The massacre of Sikhs after your grandmother’s death in 1984 and the Asthikalash Yatra by your father to generate the wave of sympathy, what is called seeking after power!
Atalji’s government came down by one vote! It was not difficult for Atalji to gain one vote in the prevailing politics, but he did not choose the wrong path! This is called seeking of truth! The cash for vote scandal, which took place under the leadership of your mother, is what is called lust for power!
You daily abuse Veer Savarkar, who sacrificed his all family for the nation! You said nasty things about him! All the abusing for a sagacious man who remained far away from power is out of lust for power. And when Savarkar says, “Keep me away from power, abuse me but I will keep talking right things for the nation,” is the seeking of truth!
Don’t be in the illusion that gathering an army of obligated and corrupt men, growing beard, giving sermons to them and getting claps will make people say you are truthful. Don’t try to involve RSS and Savarkar in your game of power because people have now understood your experiments of falsehood. You are already away from truth and you may be estranged from power If you keep blabbering like this! Hence, be a little alert! Come out of the dynastism and cronyism, come to senses! RSS was, is and will remain away from the power circles! The RSS believes in the change in humans and society, not in the change of power! And for this, RSS will insist on a truth that it has accepted. That truth is, “All those who deem themselves the children of this country and sees it as their father or mother form the Hindu society and this is the Hindu Rashtra consisting all of them!”
RSS and Swayamsevaks will always seek this truth! Powers like these may come and go! The seeking of truth by RSS has always been triumphant against the lust for power of your great-grandfather, grandmother, mother and father. As for you, you still need to learn a lot!
