Karnataka lessons: RSS and BJP must rediscover their ideological moorings — it’s smart politics that’s good for nation

Firstpost  

At one place in his 2022 book, The Commissioner For Lost Causes, Arun Shourie reminisces about one of his interactions with Ramnath Goenka, the founder of The Indian Express, soon after his meeting with RSS leader Bhaurao Deoras at Delhi’s Jhandewalan complex. Sattaa milegee, tab dekhnaa — kaisey us ke peechey bhaagengey, kyaa uskaa prayog karengey, ke kaheen voh panjey sey nikal naa jaaye uskey liye kyaa kyaa karengey… Satta mili to tumhein pataa lagegaa ki yeh kitney sadhu hain.’” In short, Goenka questioned the notion of austerity among the RSS people, saying they were austere largely because they didn’t have power. Shourie didn’t contest Goenka’s assessment because “Ramnathji was an early supporter of the Gita Press”, and from this one could “infer his attitude towards Hinduism in general, to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in particular as the aspiring standard-bearer of Hinduism”. Though some of the Sangh leaders may be getting used to “good life”, given that the BJP is in power at the Centre and in several states, the cadre remain the same old committed lot. The Manch leadership thinks that by merely calling Bhagwan Ram “Imam-e-Hind”, India’s communal problem can be resolved, little realising that Allama Iqbal — the ideological father of Pakistan — too saw Ram as “Imam-e-Hind”.
