Hindutva & Nazism: A Revised Perspective by @NaikRooh to @Wrench_Officio
Intro: Purpose of this thread is to analyze the recent statement by the Prime Minister of Pakistan in which he claimed that the political wing of RSS known as BJP is following the ideology of Adolf Hitler/Nazism.
Thread will revisit the historical context of the statement in both theory & practice of RSS. It is a basically an old-school research based on existing historical evidence which proves that current regime of India is following the ideology of fascism till date.
All the well published evidences are furnished with references in the end of this thread. The later part will cover visual evidence including footages & interviews. So, I will only be sharing published work here nothing from my own.
The basic facts to know before we explore;
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, abbreviated as RSS is a paramilitary org. of volunteers which was founded in 1925.
BJP was founded in 1980 as its political wing (on the ideology of RSS).
Current PM of India is a lifelong member of RSS.
It was the Indian unity of political spectrum in the support of Khilafat Movement against the British which made Hedgewar to oppose Gandhi. Though he did not part away from Congress but formed RSS to deal with the Muslim socio-political influence as stated above.

Gowalkar imported the whole symbolism from fascism & Nazism for ideology of Hindutva for local consumption.
Even the sign of Swastika was imported along with the tagline of Nazism.

Current PM of India is a lifelong member of RSS.
Foundation & Purpose
RSS today is the most influential org in Indian politics today. RSS was founded in 1925 by a Hindu Congressman Keshav B. Hedgewar to achieve three objectives fight against British rule, Hindu unity, and to organise Hindus against Muslims & Christians.
It was the Indian unity of political spectrum in the support of Khilafat Movement against the British which made Hedgewar to oppose Gandhi. Though he did not part away from Congress but formed RSS to deal with the Muslim socio-political influence as stated above.

It is pertinent to be acquainted with that Hedgewar was inspired by the V.D Savarkar who believed that Hindus are not only racially superior but also have the real stake in the region due to religious origin.
This inspired Hedgewar to form RSS ideologically.
Hedgewar set up the organization in Nagpur and started recruiting youth which was meant to be mobilized countrywide to peruse the 'agenda' of RSS. Activities of Sanghis included both theoretical and practical resistance against the above mentioned segments of the Indian society.
Teachings of Founding Fathers
There are mainly 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.
To understand the term of Hindutva, we need to look into the background of it. It was introduced by the ideological father of the founder of RSS. Savarkar was a convicted criminal turned racist, militant, Hindu supremacist, according to Hudson Institute of Research.
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.
The spiritual mentor/father of the RSS could not resist himself by merely supporting the Nazism of Hitler but he went on to suggest that Muslims in India deserves exactly what Hitler was doing to Jews in Germany.
Haven't you heard of 'Final Solution' recently as well?
Mentor of Savarkar also criticized the Indian political leadership for opposing the Nazism of Hitler in Germany, according to the Marzia Casolari, an Italian scholar who studied Indian politics, once wrote of RSS’ connections with European fascism.
While Savarkar inspired Hedgewar for racial supremacy of Hindus particularly Brahmans early on, Hedgewar took it to next level when Congress vouched for Hindu-Muslim unity on the issue of Khilafat Movement after World War I.
Hedgewar, the ideological son of Savarskar founded the RSS on the very foundation of Nazi ideology which was the racial supremacy via militancy. Mussolini's fascism was conceived as the institutional framework to unite Hindus against the minorities specially Muslims.
Hedgewar focused on laying the foundation for the future of RSS and in span of five years he was able to create a paramilitary force. He was able to expand in multiple states with ever-increasing Hindu nationalists inclusion including Golwalkar against Gandhism & minorities.
After the demise of Hedgewar in 1940, Golwalkar took charge of the RSS. He was perhaps the most outspoken admirer of the Nazism and extreme opponent of Gandhi's political views and vision for secular India.He supported Holocaust and perceived it as solution for Indian minorities.
Golwalkar also known as "Guru Of Hate", to many, cursed Mahatma Gandhi publically and declared him traitor of Hinduism after the partition of India as he believed Hindu had the right to rule Muslims after British.This led to the murder of the father of Independent India by RSS.
The murderer of Gandhi, Nathuram Godse is still celebrated as a national hero among Sangh Prevar (RSS Family).
Here is another exhibit of how RSS Sanghis commemorate Mahatma Gandhi's Assassination. Guru Golwalkar must been proud of them now.#WATCH BJP Bhopal Lok Sabha Candidate Pragya Singh Thakur says 'Nathuram Godse was a 'deshbhakt', is a 'deshbhakt' and will remain a 'deshbhakt'. People calling him a terrorist should instead look within, such people will be given a befitting reply in these elections pic.twitter.com/4swldCCaHK— ANI (@ANI) May 16, 2019

Even the sign of Swastika was imported along with the tagline of Nazism.
RSS under Gowalkar opposed the tricolor flag to represent India officially. They believed that it is Hindu nation and our flag should be the symbol of Hindutva (Saffron) 🚩 instead of a democratic & secular nation.
Under Gowalkar, RSS demanded that the Constitution of India should be scrapped and formed on the ideology of Hindutva in which not only minorities but Hindu women would have subhuman status.
Are you still wondering about the constitutional coup in Kashmir?
Role in Independence Movement
RSS refused to rebel against British colonialism in subcontinent in 'Quit India' Movement in 1942 just to avoid the wrath of British. It is notable that on one hand it was found to fight colonialism (1/3 objectives).
The current 'Mission Statement' of the RSS as available on its webpage despite mincing the words says it all. The oppression of minorities in India is the ultimate objective of RSS to achieve here through Hindutva. Mind you, by infiltrators RSS means both Muslims & Christians.
The admiration of the genocidal agenda of the Hitler is very much intact in the ideological foundation of RSS till date. This further exposes the agenda of Hindutva with minced words at its webpage.
Both Hitler & founding fathers of Hindutva believed in the "final solution"
RSS Bans
After the killing of Mahatma Gandhi, RSS was banned & declared terrorist outfit by Nehru govt in 1948. Then during the emergency (1975–77) and for a third time after the demolition of Babri Masjid in 1992.
NOTE: It was also banned in pre-Independent India by British.
The Translation of Nazism/Fascism on Ground By RSS.
- Gandhi killed
- Babri Mosque
- Gujarat Massacre
- Communal Violence including lynching & rapes in the name of Love Jihad & Hindutva.
- The Illegitimate Kashmir Occupation by scrapping article 370
Modi Connection & RSS.
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".
Now go tell me if PM @ImranKhanPTI is wrong...
PM IK's claim: Expansion & Impact of RSS
RSS from a its very foundation to till date has been able to reach out of the India. Early on, the purpose was to learn about structural militancy of fascism while today it is translating Hindutva in many countries with its franchises.
Hierarchy
In 2018, a report suggests that it is the largest body of registered volunteers (Sanghis) in the world with the largest political entity (BJP) as well. As PM IK claimed that RSS is looking to go beyond borders with its Nazi agenda under various franchises.
Kashmir Connection & RSS:
In 2002 the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), demanded the state be divided into three parts: Hindu-majority Jammu state; the Muslim-majority Kashmir valley; plus union territory status for Ladakh.
It was promised by Modi.

If you are interested to explore more you can fetch those references from 1950 to till date as mentioned above. Such as this read below;
From here on, I shall start sharing the Visual evidence in form of Interviews & video packages regarding the Nazi-Hindutva ideology.
The Hitler of East has given the waves of inspirations to his Sanghis as Lynchings, racial discrimination, rape, and subjugation of marginalized communities are on rise like never before.
Son of Golwalkar has gone insane.
#15AugustBlackDay
“For us Modi means Mussolini, and Amit Shah means Hitler”. Indian students from minorities are saying this.
They know the historical context of correlation between Hindutva & Nazism.Time to wake up @UN,@BorisJohnson, @Potus & stop it.
#15AugustBlackDay
. "The RSS is a secretive, militaristic, masculine cult; a distinct Indian form of fascism & Its founders greatly admired Hitler and Mussolini."

According to Paul Marshall in Hudson Institute of Research, CM Modi during Gujarat Massacre asked RSS Sanghis to teach Muslims a lesson.
He was furious due to increasing population of Muslims as Mehdi quoted another BJP leader saying so. It is their ideology.
#IndianHitlerModi
Mehdi exposing the Nazi Ideology of Modi which he inherited from the Golwalkar also known as Guru of Hate.
Secretary General of BJP caught lying through his teeth, he was denying something which was published on the webpage of RSS.
#IndianHitlerModi
Ram Madhav of RSS/BJP translated that Golwalkar called minorities as threats mean challenges. Is there any other way to understand that Hindutva believe in fascism?

Ram Madhav the contemporary brain of RSS/BJP defining good will for Muslims to ensure their safety.
This blatant fascism #BlackDay15thAugust
Ram Madhav the senior leader of RSS/BJP on cultural supremacy.
This is a direct endorsement of the teachings of Savarkar, the founding mentor of RSS. Madhav believes that Taj Mahal is also part of Hindu culture because there is no other culture in India.
#BlackDay15thAugust
Mind you the socio-cultural supremacy was the very foundation of RSS's Ideology when it was founded in 1925, Nagpur.
Here is an another unfiltered example. This is CM of UP Yogi Adityanath, a life time member of RSS.
#IndianHitlerModi
RSS is doing to Hindu religion what ISIS & AlQaeda has done to Islam. Says a British Indian.
Historically RSS has already been banned 4 times & declared terrorist outfit in Indian history as stated above.
#IndianHitlerModi
Just look at this!!!
I mean how more obvious fascism could exist. If he had said that scriptures of minorities should be supported as Bhagvat Geeta, he would have not existed in RSS anymore & he knew it.
#IndianHitlerModi
An Indian Muslim asks the leader of RSS/BJP why Muslims have to embrace Hindutva supremacy & why do you propagate that.
Madhav replies we propagate Hindutva in positive sense.
#IndianHitlerModi
If you are still wondering why Neo-Nazi Modi have annexed the Kashmir through constitutional coup, here is the answer.
Leader of BJP/RSS defining the map of "Akhand Bharat" as it is available in RSS's Headquarters in Nagpur. IOK is just the beginning.
#IndianHitlerModi
Here is more on Hindutva's vision for expansion. PM @ImranKhanPTI was spot on when he mentioned their ideology of Nazi expansion.
The sitting CM of UP Yogi Adityanath of RSS/BJP sharing the ideology of Hindutva.
#IndianHitlerModi
Derek O'Brian the Indian Parliamentarian after abrogation of Article 370 said in Parliament that BJP has thrown Indian constitution into dustbin.
He exposed the authoritarianism & Fascism of BJP/RSS brilliantly.
#IndianHitlerModi
[yt src="IrFcE9fx7eM"]
Shashi Tharoor could forsee what was coming for Indian democracy if BJP goes to win 19' Elections.
This is exactly what is happening now. Narcissistic Modi has turned the biggest democracy of the world into a fascist Hindutva state.
#IndianHitlerModi
Another fine example of how RSS/BJP's leadership urges Sanghis for cross-Communal social welfare.
He is Yogi Adityanath currently the CM of UP. He is a life long member of RSS as well just like Modi.
#IndianHitlerModi
Here are few testimonies by former senior RSS/BJP's Sanghis. They are exposing the systematic role of RSS's in Communal riots.
They are known to be the best riot engineers. Watch how Muslims are slaughtered in the name of Hindutva.
#IndianHitlerModi
2nd part of the testimonies by Former senior RSS members.
How Hindutva engineers a communal riot in India.
#IndianHitlerModi
Testimonies of Former senior RSS members exposes the peddling of a hateful image among Sanghis regarding Indian Muslim community. & how RSS gets away from any legal repercussions.
#IndianHitlerModi
An Indian from Haryana responds to the Haryana's Chief Minister of BJP. CM of Haryana recently said now people of Haryana will bring girls from Kashmir to marry after the abrogation of Article 370.
#IndianHitlerModi
The Impact of Hindutva on Law Enforcement.
Now, this Hindu girl was rescued by Policemen as she was about to being lynched by RSS Sanghis in the name of Love Jihad.
Then beaten by Police in the van saying why she partnered with a Muslim being a Hindu.
RSS Sanghis with law enforcement agencies doing a bit of social work in India in marginalized community.
Inclusive, shiny, secular etc etc
#IndianHitlerModi
Just to put the record straight regarding the influence of Hindutva on Indian law & justice system. Here is the the brief summary shared by an Indian yesterday after the #PehluKhanVerdict whose murder was caught on camera but no justice served.
#IndianHitlerModi
A blind old Muslim was stopped in a street by RSS's Sanghis to hold the flag of RSS and chant Jai Shri Ram.
This is the difference between Hinduism & Hindutva. No religion preaches hatred & subjugation.
#IndianHitlerModi
Suzanna A. Roy, award winner author & political activist recalls the RSS's role in Gujarat Massacre of 2002.
This blatant fascism was incited by none other than the then Chief Minister of Gujarat Neo-Nazi Modi of RSS.
#IndianHitlerModi
In Neo-Nazi Modi's India, a single Sanghi of RSS with a stick can beat a group of minority in India. The ideological sons of Hitler are in the haste of making the biggest democracy of the world a Hindutva fascist state.
#IndianHitlerModi
Suzanna A. Roy, reciting the excrepts from Golwalkar's own book. The man who is the worthy of worship, according to Modi. The chief of RSS (1940-1973).
He demanded Muslims to surrender as sub-citizens with no rights in India. Otherwise Hindutva will do what Hitler did to Jews.
Suzanna A. Roy Introducing Neo-Nazi Modi to the audience.
She was spot on however RSS was founded in 1925 not 1927.
#IndianHitlerModi
Honestly, I absolutely endorse her on this. The blatant Fascism/Nazism is not only endorsed by Sanghis but they don't even challenge the very narrative. Look under the tweet of PM Imran Khan. Not a single Sanghi had any rebuttal. Not even ashamed of it.
