RSS ideology is divisive, fascist, says D. Raja

The Hindu  

Born in a Scheduled Caste family at Chipachoor village in Vellore district, D. Raja, the new general secretary of the Communist Party of India, had to battle poverty and hunger. There is a view that the BJP capitalised on the “minority appeasement” by the Left and other parties… The BJP has succeeded in creating a false narrative and spreading fake arguments. The Trinamool Congress wrested power from the Left but in the fight against the Left, it provided conditions for the BJP to emerge. In the land of Tagore, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Vivekananda, the slogan Jai Sri Ram is being used to divide people, and a Nobel laureate like Amartya Sen has come out openly against this.
