The Anglo RSS Nexus

By Akhilesh Mithal

The Asian Age,
21 September, 2003

Hard evidence of the nexus between the British government of India
and the RSS. (Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh) is available in A Life of
Our Times, the memoirs of Rajeshwar Dayal, ICS published by Orient
Longman in 1998. The RSS was supplied detailed maps of towns and
villages to enable them to attack Muslims.

Dayal says: "At a cocktail party, in early 1946, the Chief Secretary
told me, almost casually that I would be the next Home Secretary of
the U.P. I happened to be the first Indian officer named to the post
which had hitherto apparently been reserved for British officers."
(Page 77).

As Home Secretary Rajeshwar Dayal became privy to the most
confidential information "I must record an episode of a very grave
nature. When communal tension was still at fever pitch, the Deputy
Inspector General of Police Western Range a very seasoned and capable
officer, B.B.L. Jaitley arrived at my house in secrecy.

He was accompanied by two of his officers who brought with them two
large steel trunks securely locked. When the trunks were opened, they
revealed incontrovertible evidence of a dastardly conspiracy to
create a communal holocaust throughout the western districts of the
province.

The trunks were crammed with blueprints of great accuracy and
professionalism of every town and village of that vast area
prominently marking out the Muslim localities and habitations. There
were also detailed instructions regarding access to the various
locations, and other matters which amply revealed their sinister
purport."

Dayal took the incriminating evidence to the Chief Minister Gobind
Ballabh Pant "There, in a closed room, Jaitley gave a full report of
his discovery backed by all the evidence contained in the steel
trunks.

Timely raids conducted on the premises of the RSS (Rashtriya
Swayamsewak Sangh) had brought the massive conspiracy to light. The
whole plot had been concerted under the direction and supervision of
the Supremo of the organisation himself.

Both Jaitley and myself pressed for the immediate arrest of the prime
accused Shri Golwalkar, who was still in the area."

Pant decided to put the matter before his cabinet. There were RSS
sympathisers in the Congress and the presiding officer of the
Legislative council, Atma Govind Kher was a sympathiser and his sons
were known to be members of the RSS.

The action taken was not arrest but a letter to Golwalkar stating the
evidence and asking for an explanation. As could be expected
Golwalkar slipped away and managed to elude the couriers. "This
infructuous chase continued from place to place and weeks passed."

The next paragraph, on page 94 of the book speaks for itself "Came
30th January 1948 when the Mahatma, the supreme apostle of peace fell
to a bullet..."

These maps could have originated only in the British Surveyor
General's office. The British administration was known for the
passionate zeal with which they guarded maps. That these were made
available to the RSS is evidence of the link. That collaborators of
the Anglo-Americans are in power all over the world and not only in
India, is borne out by a message received from Denmark.

This communication was in response to the column on Durga Das and how
the RSS government was trying to create "Hindutva" friendly heroes by
twisting, obfuscating and obliterating history even if they had to go
back hundreds of years.

"All governments use history for the weirdest excuses. We have the
most remarkably stupid Prime Minister. Yesterday, 29th August, it was
60 years ago the Danish government said `No' to the conditions the
Germans wanted to impose. Until then we had what was called
a `peaceful occupation.'''

"The `heroic' day was of course celebrated, and the prime minister
used the occasion to compare our "Brave, No" and the resistance
movement with our joining the American coalition in Iraq.

In both cases we were and are heroically fighting dictatorship and
help to secure democracy. It is absolutely grotesque seeing we are
part of an occupation force. It is also grotesque in view of the fact
that his party did not have the best of records during the German
Occupation. Such is politics." Thus what is happening in India is not
unique. Collaboration and misrepresentation are another aspect of
globalisation!

As we go to press the RSS are trying to take over Shyamaji Krishna
Varma one of those who fought for India's freedom from abroad
although he lived and died long before the birth of the RSS. We shall
revert to him in a later column.

Meanwhile the new government in the UP should publish the evidence of
the Anglo-RSS nexus and the Anglo-Muslim League nexus. To expose
these two communal bodies which have partitioned India and made it
into a dwarf amongst nations.
