Three Things that the core Sangh Parivar was against from the beginning are 1. Constitution 2. National Flag - Tiranga 3. Reservation.
Let's start from recent in 2017 when the RSS leader Manmohan Vaidya said caste-based 'RESERVATION' should be over.
Stay. 🧵 1/23
Late M. G. Vaidya the RSS ideologue on 30/08/2015 said
“There is no need for caste-based reservation now, because no caste has remained backward. At the most, continue it (reservation) for the SCs and STs, but only for 10 yrs. Abolish it completely after that.” 2/23
Rewrite Constitution:
2016 K.N. Govindacharya another RSS ideologue in an interview said
"Our constitution is so vague, non-specific & basically a continuation of the Western philosophies of Hobbes, Locke & Kant...We Will Rewrite the Constitution to Reflect Bharatiyata." 3/23
When asked "how do you propose to do it"
He replied, "We will do it, we are doing it".
In 2017 he again said the Constitution should be rewritten & they are working towards it.
How are they working towards it? Rewrite Constitution means abolishing all rights. 4/23
Mohan Bhagwat these days acting like messenger of peace is nothing but the RSS old technique to consolidate Dalit votes.
In Sept 2015 he asked for review on Reservation, in 2019 he repeated the same.
In 2016 he asked Constitution to align with so called Indian Value system.5/23
What is Indian Value system well described by MS Golwalkar the GURUJI of RSS in Bunch of Thought.
In the 'Bunch of Thoughts' he continued rhetorics page after page glorifying the Varna System or Caste vocation.
He termed the Caste system 'ANUPAM CHITRA'. 6/23
The RSS Hindutva Laboratory Gujarat followed Golwalkar's words.
In 1981, RSS passed a resolution calling for a committee of non-political people to review the policy of reservation.
That year Anti-reservation riot in Gujarat killed many Dalits, I hope u know it. 7/23
In 2023 a 90-year-old UP man was sentenced to life imprisonment for killing (butchured) 10 Dalits alone in 1981.
Anti-reservation sentiment was not only raged Guj but the full North India.
Same year Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha of RSS passed another resolution. 8/23
In 1981 ABPS of RSS passed a resolution calling for the constitution of a committee which will study in depth all the problems arising out of reservations.
This came after Indira Gandhi said that merit should not be ignored while ensuring justice for deprived sections. 9/23
4 years later, in 1985, the RSS’s Akhil Bharatiya Karyakari Mandal (ABKM) again demanded that the GOI should, without further delay, come forward to constitute a committee to examine & evaluate in all its aspects and formulate a national consensus on the reservation. 10/23
1985 riot wrecked Guj & it was too Anti-reservation movement that later turned into Anti-Muslim.
Rajiv Gandhi, the then PM himself reached Guj to bring back peace.
Anyway do you know last time when Modiji visited Manipur? Btw 1981-85 Modiji was in Gujarat, right? 11/23
Ambedkar was always a hated figure for the Manuvadis aka Hindutvavadis.
The RSS Guruji Golwalkar was a constant critic of Ambedkar.
Here he is mentioning the event is none other than 'Bhima Koregaon &' Ek Pramukh Harijan Neta' was Ambedkar. 12/23
The Organiser, RSS mouthpiece on 7/12/1949, on struggle led by Ambedkar to promote gender equality
"We oppose the Hindu Code Bill. We oppose it because it is a derogatory measure based on alien and immoral principles. It is not a Hindu Code Bill. It is anything but Hindu." 13/23
On 30/12/1949 RSS organised a public rally at Ram Leela Ground in Delhi. There were speakers after speakers abused Nehru & Ambedkar on the Hindu Code Bill.
Termed it 'an atom bomb on Hindu society'.
The next day a group of RSS workers marched on the Assembly buildings. 14/23
That RSS-led mob created havoc, abused Nehru & Ambedkar, burnt the car of Sheikh Abdulla.
Geeta Press awarded by the MODI govt last year, ridiculed Ambedkar & Nehru through their publication then.
Cartoon of famous RK Laxman, Btw he was a staunch critic of Nehru.👇🏿15/23
"A husband & wife are in a contract under which husband has said that u should take care of my house & I will take care of all ur needs & safety.
Till time wife follows the contract, the husband stays with her, if violation, he can disown her."
Bhagwat 2013 at Indore.16/23
It was Mohan Bhagwat's habit to make such remarks, following the path of his patriarchal predecessors who opposed the Hindu Code Bill vehemently that gave women rights that they never had earlier.
2012-13 when the India was agitated on the Nirbhya rape case he said this👇🏿17/23
MS Golwalkar while addressing a Gurupurnima rally on 14/07/1946 stated that it was the saffron flag which in totality represented the 'Great Culture'. He said 'We firmly believe that in the end the whole nation will bow before saffron flag.'
Organiser 17/07/47 wrote this 👇🏿18/23
In 2015 again the RSS officially said Saffron should have been the only colour on the national flag.
This tweet is still present in the @IndianExpress AC. You may search. If it was fake would have been deleted already.
No denial found to this. 19/23
Recently in March 2022 during a massive foot march for Hindu unity organized by the VHP in Kuttar Karnataka RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat stated
"Someday the saffron flag might be our national flag"
He added
"It can and should happen if Hindu Samaj comes together". 20/23
Again in May, 2022 Former Karnataka Min KS Eshwarappa also said "RSS FLAG today or tomorrow will become a National Flag, There is no doubt in it."
Do you still believe that this Sangh Parivar believe in Constitution? How?
They even hate the National flag.
Plz wake up. 21/23
Editorial in The Organiser, 30th November 1949. “The worst [thing] about the new Constitution of Bharat is that there is nothing Bharatiya about it… [T]here is no trace of ancient Bharatiya constitutional laws, institutions, nomenclature and phraseology in it”. 22/23
23/23
Five of the RSS supremos except Rajendra Singh (upper caste Thakur) are Brahmn including Bhagwat.
Why no Dalit, no women become their Chief? Where was the problem?
The problem is in their ideology that Glorifies Manusmriti. In 2000 K.Sudarsan the then RSS chief said the Constitution must be thrown out & the country should rule on old Bhartiya scriptures(Manusmriti).
14th April 1983, 'Samajik Samarasata Manch' (Front for Social Harmony) was launched by an RSS ideologue in Pune to lure the Dalits into this Brahminical organisation.
'samarasata' (Harmony) of RSS & the 'Samata' (Equality) of Ambedkar.
The citizens of India must choose between the Two now.
Jay Bhim. ✊🏿

His father was a municipal sweeper. He studied, rose & became a lawyer.
In Aug 2021 when released on 1 wk interim bail, he wore his black coat & went straight to the sessions court to sing his story.
He, Adv Surendra Gadling & this is his Spirit. ✊🏾
7yrs in jail. No trial.🧵1/11
Born at the bottom of the social pyramid, Surendra Gadling paid for his education by teaching others. An apprenticeship in the Railways opened the door to a secure job & pension.
He chose instead to serve the poor & the marginalised - those the state treats as disposable. 🧵2/11
Using music & theatre, Surendra took Dalit rights naming India’s ancient pillar of injustice. He was one of the founders of Awhan Natya Manch’ organised cultural evenings in Nagpur's slums.
He defended poor Dalits & Adivasis, arbitrarily booked by the state without fees. 3/11
THE LAST FAST.
This land had never seen before, refugees on both sides walking a blade so sharp swallowing their loved ones.
Gandhi was in Delhi since Sept. Freedom fighter Shafi Ahmed Kidwai death in Mussoorie riot while trying to bring peace had devastated his wife Anis.🧵1/17
Anis Kidwai came to Delhi & met Gandhi. Gandhi told her until a Muslim child is able to walk outside without fear, he could not leave Delhi.
1000s of visitors were meeting Gandhi with similar or worse traumas. Hearing them, He had been overwhelmed by a sense of impotence. 2/17
However, the West was also calling. In Sept 1947, Lahore civil servant Brijlal Nehru wrote to Gandhi ‘This vicious cycle, only you can break it.’
18 Sept, Gandhi in a gathering said he'll go to Pak "I shall be glad to die there" but only after Delhi shed its madness. 3/17

The Karrm Infrastructure scam, Vivek oberoi very part of it. 🧵1/15
"Ek rupaya do, flat tumcha naavavar kara. Swimming pool bhi milega, gym bhi milega, sabziwala bhi swim kar sakega!” - Vivek Oberoi said this in 2016
And he was very partner & promoter both. He himself confirmed it in his interview with @ndtv, @htTweets & others. 2/15
From 2016 Vivek Oberoi aggressively promoted the Karrm Infrastructure through using the media platforms & this is going on even today.
Be that his 2017 announcement to gift flats to the 25 CRPF martyred Jawans in Sukma or gifting home to an acid attack victim. All Fraud. 3/15

The only thing that Hindu Rashtra offers it's Hindu subject is - the circus of minority suffering. Modi model knew a formal ammendment would be struck down. So they simply rule it as if India is a Hindu Rashtra without declaring it.
But How?
Dr Ambedkar explained it.
Stay.🧵1/7
The wise & farsighted man Dr Babasaheb in his Historical speech on 04 Nov 1948 warned the Constituent Assembly that -
A democracy doesn’t perish from external attacks, but when even a few within stop believing in its constitutional morality & spirit and cease to act by it. 2/7
He explained the way a country's administration must match the spirit & Constitutional morality.
Insisted that if have a democratic Constitution, the actual working Govt, bureaucracy, institutions & officials must also behave democratically. Are they behaving so today? 3/7
