While
evaluating this sentiment of Golwalkar, as well as on Hitler, we must remember
that men are product of their times.
Ashutosh
further claims that Veer Savarkar's idea of
"Afer all, there is throughout this world so far as man is concerned but a single race--the human race kept alive by one common blood, the human blood."
This doesn't look like words from a man who wanted Hindu supremacy. Indeed, when confined in Ratnagiri, Savarkar invited all untouchable families in his house and dined with them. The Pan-Hindu canteen and Patit Pavan Mandir are standing symbols of his efforts.
It's been the ploy of mischief-makers to take a sentence or two out of context and paint an individual, organization or a movement in a poor light. Let's make a few points in this regard:
One, RSS doesn't follow a book. Indeed, Hinduism doesn't follow ANY book. Golwalkar's Bunch of Thoughts isn't a recommended reading in RSS. Indeed, take a head count and you won't find 10 persons in RSS who would've read the book
Two, RSS has no qualms in denouncing or apologizing their own actions. It was Golwalkar himself who repudiated and withdrew his book "We the Nationhood Defined" in 1948. RSS also officially disowned the book in 2006.
Three, not all BJP men are from the RSS. For example, the present chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath is not from RSS. (So Ashutosh stop suggesting that RSS, VHP, BJP are all the same).
