'The violent strain in Hindutva is very old'


A day after Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh commented on the issue of 'Sangh terror', Communist Party of India - Marxist leader Sitaram Yechury on Friday cited ideologies propounded by freedom fighters V Savarkar and B S Moonje to insist that there was nothing new in the 'violent strain' of Hindutva.

Yechury said there was an urgent need to change the mindset that terrorism is associated with the people of only one community, and promised to raise the issue of innocent persons targeted in terror-related investigations in the Parliament.

The CPI-M leader was speaking at a day-long conference organised by civil rights groups Anhad and others to highlight the plight of people who were targeted by security agencies in the aftermath of terror attacks.

'Attempts are being made to convert it into a Hindutva state'

Yechury said his party will raise the issue in the upcoming Parliament session and will demand investigations into the attacks and redressal of grievances of those unfairly targetted.

"The partition of India happened because the twin radical strains of Hindutva and Islam were adamant...But despite the fact that India became a secular republic, attempts are being made to convert it into a Hindutva state," Yechury said.

He said there was a history of militant ideology within the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and it is wrong to assume that violent tendencies have developed only recently as a reaction to certain provocations.

"The violent strain in Hindutva is very old. The two-nation theory, as reminded to us by Digvijay Singh, was propounded by Savarkar, who also spoke about militarising Hindu dharma and Hinduising all politics," he said at the conference, which was also attended by the Congress leader.


'It is wrong to assume that Hindus cannot be terrorists'


"There is nothing new about these violent tendencies and it is not that such tendencies have developed out of provocation of recent situations...It is wrong to assume that Hindus cannot be terrorists," he said.

Yechury said in light of history, it is important to be careful and to make sure that a particular community is not stigmatised and that terrorism is not encouraged by targeting innocent youth after every terror incident.

Besides Savarkar, Yechury also cited the ideology of B S Moonje, who is considered a mentor to RSS founder K B Hedgewar. Yechury pointed out that Moonje had noted in his diary that he wanted to meet Italian dictator Mussolini, and that after meeting him, he established the Central Hindu Military Education Society in 1935.

"This was the place where people like Colonel Shrikant Purohit took training," Yechury said.
 
Why dont they become Hindutva state once and for all. And then prove that the a Hindutva state is peaceful towards everyone instead of practicing terror with a secular tag on forehead of the state

It wont be allowed for the reasons......
1. hindus are not united on basis of religion.
2.India will never allow the reasons for formation of pakistan on the basis of religion to get complete.India becoming hindu state will justify reason for partition.
3.the day india embraces hinduism as state religion it will cease to exist.

But the reason for partition and the theory was provided by same Hindutva champions .
 
India cannot become a Religious State, It will be another Pakistan if risked so, which India at present in its Growth form Cannot Risk... If the Public would Have wanted that, BJP would Have been in the ruling end... All these articles are nothing but good bed time stories for those who hate certain religions In India... Nevertheless Indians arent Bothered as long as our Country is prospering....

Sir completely agree with your views,except that the BJP is no more communal than Congress.

I heard somewhere that Communists gave a petition to Brits to divide Indian sub Continent into 16 states in 1945. It that true? I heard the same from a BJP politician during a TV chat show.
 
Spoken like the Army man you ever was. :)

Btw one doubt - Do soldiers vote in the general elections ?? Is there a procedure to enable them to vote even if they are in the field ?

We did Not have an effective polling Mechanism before 2008 but after that yes we do.... Now a Jawan can vote from any State he is posted provided he is registered with that Election Commission, If they cannot vote they can choose proxy voting system
