Ashutosh, a spokesperson of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has appeared in the op-ed page of Indian Express today (April 27, 2017) which is one place to meet/read most of those who are plotting overtime to break India along communal lines and put the blame on RSS and Modi-government.

We, at the NewsBred, make it a point to confront such a narrative. Much of RSS' and Hindutva's idealogues mistake has been to concentrate on social reforms and leave the field of academic and media manipulation to Nehruvian-Left combine. It has had a disastrous effect. The Left-Liberals have worked overtime to divide the people on sectarian and communal lines. India First thus could never get off the ground.

Ashutosh, a JNU alumni, largely targets two of RSS' main idealogues--M.S. Golwalkar and VD Savarkar. He quotes from their works to show they were anti-Muslims and anti-Christians and their concept of Hindu Rashtra didn't have any scope for minorities. He says this philosophy is being brought to fruition under the present dispensation. Says Ashutosh: "This is a desire for civilizational conquest."

Ashutosh quotes from Golwalkar's Bunch of Thoughts: "There are three enemies of India--Muslims, Christians and Communists." He further accuses Golwalkar as a fascist who was inspired by Hitler.

Dear Ashutosh, are you aware of these words of Golwalkar: "The Muslims must realize that we are all one people and it is the same blood that courses in all our veins."

Or, "Let Muslims be more devout Muslims. We will help them to be more devout." (He wrote in Spotlight (P 48).

Or, "Let the Muslims evolve their own laws." (as a caution against the Uniform Civil Code).
