Communal War In Tamil Nadu

minorities as part of its philosophy propounded in its Bible, Bunch of Thoughts (Rashtrothana Sahitya, KG. Nagar, Bangalore -19, pages 440-1966) which has clearly identified its three enemies ; Marxists, Muslims & Christians. Describing the Christians as blood-suckers, it speaks about a “Christian plan” “to surround the Southern peninsula and make it Christian- dominated. Then the whole of the Himalayan belt was to be captured in the second sweep.” (page-185). If the RSS has declared war against its three enemies it is because it sincerely believes in converting India into a Hindu nation. The RSS official journal editorial (March 7) under the headline, “Recognize the Fact That This is a Hindu Country””, directs that “the ruling party together with other major parties must declare India as a Hindu nation”. India’s ruling class has already implemented this directive in some parts like Arunachal Pradesh where Christians are not allowed to enter. Even Mother Teresa was barred. While the govt. there is encouraging Hinduism with funds to Hinduise tribals, Christianity is treated as a foreign religion. Even courts have upheld restrictions on conversion in several parts of India. Every effort is being made to suppress the minorities because ruling class knows that it is difficult to destroy them. As for the dalits, the strategy is two-pronged : separate them from minorities by Hinduising them and thus ensure their servility. The second one is to deny them education and impoverish them. Dalits being 100% poor, it is possible to do this with ease. Dalit activists should alert their brothers on this danger. The only way to face the new social forces mobilised by RSS is for the persecuted minorities to join hands with dalits. The minorities, particularly Christians, being better placed, educated and alert, besides having international connections, they can undertake this job effectively. The TN Christians have set a commendable example.  This is the first time the Christian militancy is vigorously surfacing before which the RSS fascists were forced to retreat & run. Kudos to Christians.
