The Hindu Right Wing’s Attempt to Appropriate Gandhi, Ambedkar, and Bose Despite Their Despise for Sangh Parivar
The HinduIt is characteristic of upstarts andsocial climbers to drop names. This was in reference to Congress president Sitaram Kesri’s jibe that the BJP was trying to “hijack” Gandhi. If we understand the old basis of nationalism, then it will be clear that it is nothing but Hinduism.” The Times of India noted editorially on October 17, 1989: “Mr Advani, while holding forth on ‘Bharat Mata’, now goes so far as to deny that Mahatma Gandhi was the Father of the Nation.” None should be surprised at a photograph showing the RSS supremo, M.S. “It is for the Prime Minister to deny its authenticity.” The Times of India of December 4, 1990, said: “Despite repeated requests from The Times of India Research Bureau, the BJP central office was unable to produce a copy of the original Harijan Sewak or Navajivan, which, according to them, carried the dubious article.” Undeterred, Sharma wrote a second letter to the Prime Minister quoting Gandhi, once again, in support of the Parivar’s stand on Babri Masjid. It recalled that as far back as 1950, Jivanji Desai of the Navajivan Trust, publishers of Gandhi’s works, had to debunk an exactly similar claim by one Ramgopal Pandey “Sharad” of Ayodhya.
