OVERVIEW
Mohandas Gandhi was assassinated by an extremist, Nathuram Godse, a member of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). As reported by the New York Times in India today, statues are built to idolize Gandhi’s assassin, and a city may be renamed in his honor.
Leading India since 2014, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a violent supremacist organization whose leaders were inspired by Hitler and Nazism, is working to replace India’s secular state with a Hindu supremacist state that upholds the millennia-old Brahmanical caste system.
The RSS’ vision is global. It includes conquering countries in South Asia and has extended its influence abroad through the Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS). Its archaic vision embraced the “Aryan race” and fascism, and its caste system was admired by white segregationists in the U.S.
This ideology has imported extremist Hindu supremacist leaders to the U.S., including pioneers of hate speech in India, and fundraised in the U.S. for the destruction of churches in India.
