A Communist leader teaching Vivekananda to RSS is an interesting facet in the wake of Glasnost!
[The RSS and its chief must learn from the life and work of Vivekananda, who described himself as a socialist and interrogated Hinduism with honesty.] - D. Raja
Many are trying to pretend that RSS was exactly the same before Bhagwat's new Bhagavata in order to wash away their stigma of supporting bigotry, till now. No, there is no scope for such opportunism as Bhagwat has unequivocally drawn the line between the past and his revisionism.
RSS talks in terms of collectivities like religion or ethnicity and tends to subordinate an individual's education or freedom to it. The Constitution of India on the contrary respects and safeguards the innate qualities of any citizen and his or her autonomy. A fundamental chasm!
Felt like Mohan Bhagawat borrowing abundantly from my tweets in his reformulation of Hindutva while listening to his speech today. So how all those noble hopes materialise in the future is more important than the usual habit of digging out inconsistencies by citing past instances
Clearly RW intellectuals are shattered and are discussing weather. That's the power of Nehruvian consensus reiterated by Bhagwat. Those raised on bigotry and hatred have suddenly found themselves fodderless and rudderless. Sri Aurobindo is now the only means of salvaging prestige
By publicly disowning a few pages of Golwalkar's old writings Bhagwat shows how printed words are powerful and warrant suitable response. Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry should apply the same principle on The Lives of Sri Aurobindo by Peter Heehs and come clean on own connivance
Apprehensions galore since the PR move by RSS is so abrupt and so close to the Elections. The revision envisaged, however, is irreversible.

The position of the RSS has been like that of a nouveau riche trader who feels that despite his wealth, he lacks the legitimacy which a pedigreed aristocrat enjoys. To gain such respectability in polite society, he feels in need of a makeover.
A change of this nature for the RSS entails a virtual turning over of a new leaf, which means that it has to shed some of its angularities which differentiate it from the Left-Liberals — the urban Naxalites.

If anyone thinks this strategic shift in this Goebbelsian propaganda signals a genuine change of heart on the part of the secretive, paramilitary organisation that was inspired by European fascists and the Nazis, they need to think again.

Cynics may wonder whether Bhagwat’s latest nod to the “idea” of a multicultural India, which is normally derided by the Hindu Right, is an attempt to gain respectability for the Sangh Parivar by entering the gated enclaves of the Left-Liberals who regard themselves as the standard-bearers of a modern, cosmopolitan lifestyle while the Parivar with its fetish for Hindi, vegetarianism and cow’s urine is seen as a bucolic outsider.
It is possible that the RSS realised that notwithstanding the enormous material and political clout it has acquired because of the BJP’s political success, its social standing hasn’t improved. The anglicised, deracinated “urban Naxalites” in the cocktail circuits continue to regard the Hindu Right as usurpers in the corridors of power. But if the RSS dons the cloak of inclusiveness, where does that leave the BJP?
