It is therefore not insignificant that the purported vision of the 2017 Goa convention of these self-declared "Hindu nationalists" is to have a Hindu state in place by 2023, to coincide with the near century of the RSS' existence.
According to the late RSS leader Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar, the objective of the RSS is:
"'....We have been sufficiently fooled uptil now by their exhortation that we Hindus, who are having a great philosophy of human brotherhood, catholicity of spirit and so on, should not narrow ourselves by the talk of Hindu Nationalism and all such 'communal', 'medieval' and 'reactionary' ideas! We must be able to see through the game and revert to the truth of our nationalism as an ancient fact and the Hindus being the national society of Bharat, so clearly restated by our revered founder when he decided the word 'Rashtriya' for our organization. We must once again stand up in our true and full stature and boldly assert that we shall elevate the Hindu National Life in Bharat to the peak of glory and honor which has been its birthright since hoary time.' (Bunch of Thoughts by MS Golwalkar)
If history has any lesson to learn: RSS member, Nathuram Godse, assassinated Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation, in January 1948.Golwalker was arrested along with 20,000 RSS members. The RSS was banned for promoting "violence" and "subversion."
