One has to bear in mind that this came soon after Shah had projected Hindi as the best suited ‘one’ language to unite India. Those who are conversant with the RSS’ roadmap for India will not be surprised by this statement. Fascism and democracy can’t go hand-in-hand. For fascist dictatorship of one party to be perpetuated, democracy has to be sacrificed. One of the RSS’ leading lights, B.S. Moonje, also a close associate of the outfit’s founder KB Hedgewar, was inspired by the paramilitary training imparted to members of the youth wing of Benito Mussolini’s Fascist party. He replicated Italian Fascist practices in the organisational structure of the RSS. And the ideological inspiration, which the RSS founders drew from fascists and Nazis, does not end only with the establishment of the organisational structure of the RSS. It is also an integral part of the ideology of nationalism of the RSS. It defines Hindu nationalism on the lines of pure German nationalism of the Nazis. The RSS is committed to the idea of creating a Hindu India or Rashtra on the same pattern as Hitler’s idea of a Germanic nation of pure German blood. All major inter-community conflicts which have arisen in contemporary India are because the RSS wants to ruthlessly impose its idea of a monolithic Hindu nationalism which is otherwise, resisted and opposed by multiple and diverse cultural communities of India. Imposition of Hindi as one language of the country will be a first step to kill that diversity.
