RSS thinking and ideology is expressed in its regular magazines/newspapers and surprisingly there is not a single line challenging, exposing, criticising or confronting the British rule in their entire literature from 1925 to 1947. It is also well documented that the Sangh did not take part in the Quit India movement but there is more to it than just maintaining the status-quo. Syama Prasad Mukherjee, who was then the Hindu Mahasabha president and later founded the Bharatiya Jana Sangh (which would evolve into the BJP) collaborated with the British to kill the Quit India Movement. So, how on the earth does today’s BJP try to lay claim to Bhagat Singh, a young maverick whose only life goal was to see an independent India and a vocal Marxist, a word that cannot go down the throat of a single BJP affiliate.
