There are ideological differences between different organizations. RSS is a fascist communal organization.  But everything with them is not wrong. They also do many good things. It is not proper to use term like goons for them.  

Some politicians have spread myth about groups like RSS, that these groups are politically oriented and not help people anyway. But the truth is far away. People in groups like RSS are not only taught to respect others but are always ready to help people in disaster situation. The people who were talking about intolerance in India are on foreign trips, but RSS is helping people in Chennai.

The positive role of RSS in calamities is well known and appreciated. However their role in trying to enforce their agenda howsoever noble it may be by arm twisting BJP is not appreciated by many,. If they want their agenda to be implemented then they should fight the elections and get the mandate of the people. In BJP's victor=y they assume that they have the mandate is not proper. That they propagate Hindu values is not objectionable but using BJP to do so officially is where problem arises.

RSS was banned after murder of Mahatma Gandhi. The ban was lifted on the condition that RSS would be aloof from politics. Hence RSS first used Bhartitya Jana Sangh and later BJP.  BJP is undoubtedly subsidiary of RSS. It makes no sense to treat BJP as independent of RSS. 

Normally it should not make sense to treat BJP and RSS separately. But it is they who all the time try to give a picture that they are operating independent of each other. Why is RSS afraid of fighting elections or BJP of telling voters openly that they will be following RSS agenda. At least the voter is clear in his mind when he is asked to make a choice. Let them get the clear mandate and implement their agenda with voters blessing rather than do so slyly.

The fact is that the RSS people are the ones who are at the forefront in rescuing and helping people in face of natural calamities and other disasters. They were there when earthquake struck Nepal seriously. They are present in very remote areas all over the country helping out tribals and schoolchildren, try their best to make lives easier. It was with the initiative of RSS that Muslim Rashtriya Manch was formed in order to bridge the gap between Hindus and Muslims. MRM is currently very much active in J&K and is helping to bring peace to the strife-torn valley. I can see no single instance where congress has played a concrete role in helping people or try to bring peace. It is the RSS that is helping people without asking for anyone's religions. And still there are those ever ready to keep proclaiming them as fascists while not lifting a single finger of their own to help any one ever.

Comparing RSS and Congress is not proper. BJP and Congress can be compared as they are both political parties. RSS is supposed to be apolitical  cultural organisation. No one has an issue with its cultural agenda.

The problem is that until a few years ago it was just the Congress party that was leading the way, pretty much a one party show and what they said was law.They said RSS was communal and the press wrote it down dutifully...Killing Mahatma Gandhi was done by an individual belonging to RSS, if RSS was banned for that reason Congress party which went all out supporting the violence should have been banned after the massacre of Sikhs ! probably their lives don't mean much like that of Gandhi and The Family members ! Now they and their followers keep on and on about RSS agenda, what exactly is RSS agenda, do they know? They simply want to show BJP and RSS in a poor light , that is the only reason they come up with these vague imaginary ideas! The truth is that RSS is liked by common people as a group that is known for its community work and its patriotism ! Hardly matters what the press and a bunch of sycophants say ..

There is no dearth of pseudo secularists in this country.If an organization or individual speaks of Hinduism, they hit the ceiling as of they are the custodians of Secularism. These pseudo Secularists are more dangerous than Terrorist outfits. To save this country from such evils one should feel proud of being a citizen of Bharat and follow what Hinduism and what other organizations like RSS preach and practice.

Yes one peoples who are living in this country begins feel that we are first Bhartiya than Hindu or Muslims, we have not religious problems. yesterday in one article Shashi Throor wrote that we must be said that Hindi hai Hum Hindustan hai watan Hamra. I hope congress will not declare secular to Shashi Throor.

One can accept the teachings and preachins of RSS on Hindu religion. Absolutely no problem. It is when they start directing politics on religion basis then problem arises. For that they must have the direct mandate of the voters.
