SHAMELESS HYPOCRISY OF OUR HINDU NATIONALIST PM Modi as a Hindu Nationalist PM Modi is the only occupier of a constitutional post in the history of Independent India who declared himself to be a Hindu nationalist. He made this declaration in 2013 in an interview to two Reuters journalists, Ross Colvin and Sruthi Gottipati, on July 12 as CM of Gujarat. Modi glorified his Hindu nationalist identity hiding the fact that the term ‘Hindu Nationalist’ originated in a specific historical context during India’s freedom struggle against the British colonial masters. This freedom struggle was mainly led by the Congress, which stood for an all-inclusive democratic-secular free India. The ‘Muslim Nationalists’, under the banner of the Muslim League, and the 'Hindu Nationalists', under the banners of the Hindu Mahasabha and the RSS, opposed it, claiming that Hindus and Muslims were two different nations. These Hindu and Muslim ‘Nationalists’ joined hands with the colonial masters in order to thwart the freedom struggle so that they could have theocratic states of their choice, ‘Hindusthan’ or Hindu Rashtra and Pakistan or Islamic state, respectively. Moreover, those Hindutva fanatics who assassinated MK Gandhi on January 30, 1948 also called themselves as Hindu nationalist. Hindu Nationalist PM's Visit to Andamans & Nicobar Islands Modi's commitment to Hindu nationalism keeps on motivating him to acts crossing all limits of hypocrisy; an integral part of the Hindutva politics. In the last week of 2018 he was on tour of Andaman & Nicobar Islands where the infamous Cellular Jail is also situated. PM's Love for Savarkar & Netaji According to press reports immediately after reaching there he visited the Cellular Jail, sat in the cell where VD Savarkar was incarcerated. Sadly, PM chose to sit in the cell of 'Veer' Savarkar who wrote not one but FIVE MERCY PETITIONS to the British rulers in 1911, 1913, 1914, 1918 and 1920 begging forgiveness for his anti-British activities. These bore positive results; his sentence for 50 years was reduced to 13 years out of which he spent only 10 years in the Cellular Jail. Thus he belittled the sacrifices of real heroes of Cellular Jail like, Dharma Veer Ramraksha, Indu Bhushan Roy, Ullaskar Dutta, Jyotish Chander Paul, Chatter Singh, Nani Gopal (16 year old), to name few who did not submit to the repression at Cellular Jail, instead laid down their lives fighting it. Later during the trip PM Narendra Modi renamed three islands in Andaman & Nicobar. Donning the Azad Hind Fauj (Indian National Army) cap, PM declared that it was done in deference to the wishes of Netaji who in 1943, had suggested that Andaman and Nicobar Islands be renamed as Shahid and Swaraj Dweep respectively. PM said: “The country draws inspiration from Andaman. That is why the government has issued a notification and I am proudly announcing that henceforth, Ross Island will be known as Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Dweep. The Neil Island will be known as Shahid Dweep and Havelock Island as Swaraj Dweep”. PM also hoisted a 150-feet-high national flag; the Tricolour in Marina Park, South Point, in Port Blair and said the government is committed to creating an India, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose once dreamt of. There cannot be a greater crime then putting Savarkar and Subhash Chandra Bose on the same pedestal. Modi as a seasoned RSS cadre while worshipping Savarkar maintains criminal silence about anti-national ideas and activities of the latter. Or the fact may be that RSS loves Savarkar for this kind of heritage of his only.

MODI's UNHEROIC NATIONALIST IDOL2019 •
On December 30, last year, we were treated to the most unusual spectacle of the Prime Minister of India sitting on the floor or a cell of a jail, his legs crossed over each other, and his palms joined in prayer. He was, however, not praying to God — he was actually worshipping his guru, Veer Damodar Savarkar, who had once been imprisoned in this cell and his eyes were transfixed on his portrait that was propped up a few feet away.
PM MODI IDOLIZES SAVARKAR: 2ND KILLING OF THE TRUE MARTYRS OF INDIA'S FREEDOM STRUGGLE LINKS: https://www.counterview.net/2022/08/hindutva-archives-rebut-modi-view.html https://www.hastakshepnews.com/pm-modi-idolizes-savarkar-2nd-killing-of-the-true-martyrs/ https://countercurrents.org/2022/08/pm-modi-idolizes-savarkar-second-killing-of-the-true-martyrs/
On 122 birth anniversary of Netaji How Hindutva Gang Backstabbed Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Hindutva gang continues to pretend to have great admiration for Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose (23 January 1897–18 August 1945) who attempted to organise a military campaign to force the British out of India. But very few people know about the terrible betrayal of his cause by the Hindu Mahasabha under the leadership of Savarkar who was also adored by the RSS as Hindutva icon. When Netaji during World War II was trying to secure foreign support for liberation of the country and trying to organise a military attack on the northeast of the country which finally culminated in the formation of ‘Azad Hind Fauj’ (Indian National Army), it was Savarkar who offered full military cooperation to the British masters. While addressing 23rd session of Hindu Mahasabha at Bhagalpur in 1941, he said: The war which has now reached our shores directly constitutes at once a danger and an opportunity which both render it imperative that the militarization movement musts be intensified and every branch of the Hindu Mahasabha in every town and village must actively engage itself in rousing the Hindu people to join the army, navy, the aerial forces and the different war-craft manufactories. To what extent Savarkar was willing to help the British would be clear by the following words of his: So far as India’s defence is concerned, Hindudom must ally unhesitatingly, in a spirit of responsive co-operation with the war effort of the Indian government in so far as it is consistent with the Hindu interests, by joining the Army, Navy and the Aerial forces in as large a number as possible and by securing an entry into all ordnance, ammunition and war craft factories…Again it must be noted that Japan’s entry into the war has exposed us directly and immediately to the attack by Britain’s enemies. Consequently, whether we like it or not, we shall have to defend our own hearth and home against the ravages of the war and this can only be done by intensifying the government’s war effort to defend India. Hindu Mahasabhaits must, therefore, rouse Hindus especially in the provinces of Bengal and Assam as effectively as possible to enter the military forces of all arms without losing a single minute. Savarkar called upon Hindus “to flood the [British] army, the navy and the aerial forces with millions of Hindu warriors with Hindu Sanghatanist hearts” and assured them that if Hindus recruited in the British armed forces, our Hindu nation is bound to emerge far more powerful, consolidated and situated in an incomparably more advantageous position to face issues after the war— whether it be an internal anti-Hindu Civil War or a constitutional crisis or an armed revolution. While concluding his address at Bhagalpur, Savarkar once again stressed upon the Hindus to join war efforts of the British government. He categorically stated: Whatever, again, be the position and the fate of nations after the war, today under the present circumstances taking all things together, the only feasible and relatively beneficial attitude which the Hindu Sanghatanists can take up is doubtless to ally ourselves actively with the British government on the point of Indian Defence, provided always that we can do so without being compelled to betray the Hindu cause.

PM MODI IN PARLIAMENT: POVERTY, FARMERS' SUICIDES, UNEMPLOYMENT, HINDUTVA TERRORISM, RAPES, VIOLENCE AGAINST WORKING CLASS NOT PROBLEMS BUT NEHRU IS! PM Modi's speeches in both the Houses of Indian Parliament on February 7, 2017 while defending Motion of Thanks on President Ram Nath Kovind's address belied hope which some political analysts carried that Modi after becoming PM would mature and overcome Hindutva traits of double-speak, rabble rousing and resort to lies which he learnt in the RSS shakhas. While replying he showed that he remains a Hindu nationalist which he claimed to be his identity while talking to Reuters in 2013 as CM of Gujarat. He resorted to lies, half-truths and demagogy as a seasoned Hindu nationalist.

Narendra Modi who is chief minister of a state in India functioning as a constitutional authority under a democratic-secular constitution of India. However, he declares himself to be a 'Hindu Nationalist' trained by RSS and a practitioner of Hindutva politics. This is bizarre. In this open letter he is being reminded that it was a group of 'Hindu Nationalists' which assassinated MK Gandhi, regarded by many as Father of the Indian Nation. The RSS/Hindutva documents are quoted in this letter showing that they do not believe in a democratic-secular set-up. This group decries Indian National Flag, sympathises with Nazis/Fascists and wants India to be ruled by one ideology and one leader.They want to impose Code of Manu and make women and Dalits slaves. It is hoped that Modi will respond to the issues raised in this letter. July 17, 2013.

INDIAN POLITICS AND MODI : A MILLENNIUM OVERVIEW2021 •
The Indian politics during NaMo hovers between right and left but pendulum generally remains right of the centre. It is commonly alleged that he inaugurated divisive politics of hate, deinstitutionalisation, de-democratisation and personalisation of power by taking undue advantage of weak and divided opposition and his unquestioned charisma. The regime is also being blamed for getting headed towards quasi-presidentialisation of our parliamentary system. There has been populism of hyper growth for better India acchedin that proved illusive .Mountain of Modi's popularity is melting .Notwithstanding his magic still matters and he is the tallest political personality in Indian politics at least in first quarter of this millennium.
REVISITING THE BACK-STABBING OF NETAJI BY HINDUTVA GANG ON HIS 125TH BIRTH ANNIVERSARY The 125th birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose falls on on January 23, 2021. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a senior RSS cadre who identifies himself as Hindu Nationalist will be in Kolkata to inaugurate the celebrations given the nomenclature, 'Parakram Diwas' [Valour Day]. According to the RSS-BJP government January 23rd will continue to be commemorated as 'Parakram Diwas' in future also. According to government hand-out it was to "honour and remember Netaji's indomitable spirit and selfless service to the nation and inspire people of this country, specially the youth, to act with fortitude in the face of adversity as Netaji did, and to infuse in them a spirit of patriotic fervour". Through such gimmick by PM Modi and his government, the only aim of the flag-bearers of the Hindutva politics is to hide their nefarious and acts which the Hindu Nationalists under the leadership of VD Savarkar and RSS committed against Netaji and his liberation army, Indian National Army (INA or Azad Hind Fauj.
INAUGURATION OF NEW PARLIAMENT COMPLEX ON SAVARKAR’S BIRTHDAY SHALL NOT WHITEWASH HIS ANTI-NATIONAL & ANTI-HUMANITY CRIMES! Indian PM Modi is set to inaugurate new complex of Indian Parliament on May 28 (2023) which is also the 140th birth anniversary of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar who is described as ‘great son of India’ and ‘Veer’ [gallant/fearless] by the RSS-BJP lot. Thus the new Parliament built under the direct supervision of PM Modi and his chosen few will be dedicated to Savarkar. It is a horrendous and shameful decision in many respects. Dedication to Savarkar will mean rejection of the whole idea of an egalitarian, democratic and secular India which came into being on August 15, 1947. Honouring of Savarkar would also mean dishonouring of the martyrs and participants of the Indian freedom struggle. Let us know the truth as told by Savarkar himself or contained in the archives of Hindu Mahasabha. Continues....
SECOND KILLING OF BHAGAT SINGH & SUBHASH CHANDRA BOSE BY THE HINDUTVA GANG In a shocking development the student wing of the RSS put the busts of martyrs Bhagat Singh and Subhash Chandra Bose with the Savarkar's on one pedestal at the University of Delhi late in the night on August 20, 2019. This clubbing of busts of Bhagat Singh and Netaji with VD Savarkar is tantamount to 2nd killing of the 2 great martyrs who laid down their lives for the freedom of the country. Bhagat Singh sacrificed his life for a socialist-democratic-secular Republic and Netaji raised Azad Hind Fauj (INA) consisting of people of all religions and regions for armed liberation of India. The contemporary documents are witness to the fact that while Bhagat Singh and Netaji fought against the repressive British rule and the two-nation theory, as Savarkar brazenly sided with the British rulers and the Muslim League in order to defeat the all-inclusive freedom struggle. *'Veer' Savarkar Submitted FIVE Mercy Petitions & Got Remission of 35+ years *How Savarkar Backstabbed Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose *Savarkar Believed In Two-Nation Theory & Formed Coalition Governments with the Muslim League READ THE SHOCKING CONTEMPORARY FACTS... https://www.counterview.net/2019/08/savarkar-opposed-bhagat-singhs-netajis.html https://www.hastakshepnews.com/second-killing-of-bhagat-singh-subhash-chandra-bose-by-the-hindutva-gang/ https://countercurrents.org/2019/08/second-killing-of-bhagat-singh-and-subhash-chandra-bose-by-the-hindutva-gang
