From what I know, RSS stands for preserving Hindu culture, identity and history.
They may be going overboard at times by insisting to put astrology as a course in modern education.
Also they are a political organization, so they will go back on their promises and principles. In India we have had coalition governments for a long time where the basis of coalition need not be conforming principles.

However my point was about the mocking tone when someone reminds us about our history and our way of conduct.
I do not know how familiar you are with modern urban India. It has become a society which is almost reluctant to speak their own language, eat their own food and very eager to adopt a lifestyle which is approved by West.
So let me hope that you are able to understand that the comment was not pro-RSS but anti-mental western slavery.
And Finally discussing cultures and roots over here may not be in line with the topic of this thread. Let us open another thread for that !!

It is sometime very surprising to see why we are so eager to disown our culture and our roots.”

What? Are you saying that if we were to disagree with the RSS, we are “eager to disown our culture and our roots?”

The RSS is a representative of our “culture” and our “roots?”

And pray tell: what exactly are our culture and roots? I am not being facetious, I am being serious.

RSS may have it’s own big and small follies, but never the less it may not be a bad idea sometimes to eat with hands rather than forks.

It is sometime very surprising to see why we are so eager to disown our culture and our roots.

A very old interview with Ashok Row Kavi from Gay Today. Read it and you might find Row talking about someone like you.

Gotta deflate your enthusiasm. Ashok Row Kavi one of India’s best known gays and gay rights activists is an unabashed supporter of the RSS. As also are a fair number of lesbian activists in India. In contrast to communal organisations from other faith communities Hindu groups have been accepting of gays.

All the ladies like you; all the men adore you. Bhenchud

You underestimate yourself, my lovely Kismet.

But I only want your gorgeous body, Hardy. Desi can have your political opinions (isn’t she dull?) and we all know that Katy will settle for pretty much what remains (no offence Kate, p’haps you shouldn’t have advertised your man problems quite so enthusiastically, um? and K’s remains are still substantial and luscious).

Only caveat : we will have to keep it a tad quiet, K. The bf is beginning to look over my shoulder when I log on nowadays.

Mother, is that you again?

Regarding Indian Army ‘excesses’…. I dont remember what I said, or when I said what I said, or the context of it, I am not a regular visitor to this site , but I am flattered that you , whoever you are, apparently keep a count of the stuff I say , as well as the viccissitudes of my ‘cyber persona’.

Thanks a lot.

But tell me, what does ‘defending Indian Army excesses’ have to do with Nathuram Godse ? Was Nathuram a part of Indian Army ? I am trying to make sense of the connection here.

And what Indian Army ‘excesses’ are you referring to anyway ?

Well, I am not hindu even but I am beginning to realise how easy it is to be attacked online as hindutvadi even when you comment in the most tangential manner on some ‘hindu’ affair. Happened right here on PP when I brought up minority religious rights in Malaysia. It left me quite speechless at the time as it was literally the last tag I’d ever expected to be thrown at me. But the lesson is not to be intimidated into silence because of this.

So I love him.

Let’s not get into a virtual catfight over Kinky Kismet.

I am like, aw shucks, *so* complimented. Thanks.

Begin to see what Jaihind means.

All that fascistic sham-glam, male bonding and ‘celibacy’. Always had my suspicions about Vajpayee – all that poetry writing!

Takes one to know one

that’s one fetching cyber personality you are cultivating:

glorification of Indian army excess

glorification of mass murdering scum, Modi.

I bet you are next going to write an ode to your hitman hero, Naturam Godse.

Have issues eh? Poor boy.

*snarls* : Back off, Desi. I’m ready to share Kismet with barnyard animals, but not the likes of you.

You have the right to your opinion.The people of Gujarat, have their own opinion. In addition, unlike you, they also get to vote.

Modi is backwards, but not because of his caste.

Kismet Hardy– I love you. Really.
