This programme features a debate on the role and ideology of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in India. The discussion questions whether the RSS is a nation-builder or a divisive force and examines its concept of a Hindu Rashtra. Columnist Sudhendra Kulkarni calls for a dialogue between the RSS and its critics, highlighting positive outreach to Muslims by its leaders. In contrast, historian Mridula Mukherjee questions the value of such statements when actions on the ground appear to polarize society. The debate also covers the RSS’s contested role in the freedom struggle and the contradiction between its statements and actions. As one speaker notes, “There is a certain gap between kathni and karni. What it says and what it allows things to happen are two different things.” The discussion touches on the organization’s political influence and its relationship with the past. #rss #rashtriyaswayamsevaksangh #hindurashtra #itwebvideos #india #indianpolitics #hindutva #muslims #debate #history #freedomstruggle #dialogue #bjp #nationbuilding #pluralism #secularism #indiatoday #kathnikarni
