RSS & MURDER OF MAHATMA GANDHI- WHAT DO CONTEMPORARY DOCUMENTS TELL?
Sardar Patel, the first Home Minister of India held RSS and Hindu Mahasabha responsible for murder of Gandhiji. Here are reproduced contemporary original documents.

After the murder of Mahatma Gandhi on January 30, 1948, the RSS was banned on February 4, 1948. It was banned for anti-national activities and the government communiqué banning the RSS was self-explanatory:
“In their resolution of February 2, 1948 the Government of India declared their determination to root out the forces of hate and violence that are at work in our country and imperil the freedom of the Nation and darken her fair name. In pursuance of this policy the Government of India have decided to declare unlawful the RSS.”
[Cited in Justice on Trial, RSS, Bangalore, 1962, p. 64.]
The communiqué went on to disclose that the ban on the RSS was imposed because,
“undesirable and even dangerous activities have been carried on by members of the Sangh. It has been found that in several parts of the country individual members of the RSS have indulged in acts of violence involving arson, robbery, dacoity, and murder and have collected illicit arms and ammunition. They have been found circulating leaflets exhorting people to resort to terrorist methods, to collect firearms, to create disaffection against the government and suborn the police and the military.”
[Ibid, pp. 65-66.]
It is well-known that the then Home Minister, Sardar Patel, had a soft-corner for the RSS and continues to be a favourite with the RSS. However even Sardar Patel found it difficult to defend the RSS in the aftermath of Gandhiji’s assassination. In a letter written to the head of the RSS, Golwalkar, dated 11 September 1948, Sardar Patel stated:
“Organizing the Hindus and helping them is one thing but going in for revenge for its sufferings on innocent and helpless men, women and children is quite another thing…Apart from this, their opposition to the Congress, that too of such virulence, disregarding all considerations of personality, decency or decorum, created a kind of unrest among the people. All their speeches were full of communal poison. It was not necessary to spread poison in order to enthuse the Hindus and organize for their protection.
“As a final result of the poison, the country had to suffer the sacrifice of the invaluable life of Gandhiji. Even an iota of the sympathy of the Government, or of the people, no more remained for the RSS. In fact opposition grew. Opposition turned more severe, when the RSS men expressed joy and distributed sweets after Gandhiji’s death. Under these conditions it became inevitable for the Government to take action against the RSS…Since then, over six months have elapsed. We had hoped that after this lapse of time, with full and proper consideration the RSS persons would come to the right path. But from the reports that come to me, it is evident that attempts to put fresh life into their same old activities are afoot.”
[Ibid, pp. 26-28.]
Hindu Mahasabha and RSS were jointly responsible for the murder of Father of Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, this fact was further corroborated by Sardar Patel in a letter to a prominent leader of Hindu Mahasabha, Syama Prasad Mookerjee on July 18, 1948. Sardar wrote:
“As regards the RSS and the Hindu Mahasabha, the case relating to Gandhiji’s murder is sub- judice and I should not like to say anything about the participation of the two organizations, but our reports do confirm that, as a result of the activities of these two bodies, particularly the former, an atmosphere was created in the country in which such a ghastly tragedy became possible. There is no doubt in my mind that the extreme section of the Hindu Mahasabha was involved in the conspiracy. The activities of the RSS constituted a clear threat to the existence of Government and the State. Our reports show that those activities, despite the ban, have not died down. Indeed, as time has marched on, the RSS circles are becoming more defiant and are indulging in their subversive activities in an increasing measure.”

यह गणतंत्र भूतों का मेला है!
और सारे लोग झोलियों में भर भरकर भूतों का कुनबा अंधियारा का कारोबार कर रहे हैं।
कोई भी किसी भी भेष में कुछ भी बोल रहा है।
कोई भी किसी के खिलाफ कहीं भी फतवा जारी कर रहा है।
कोई भी रोजमर्रे की आम जिंदगी को किसिम किसिम के भूत छोड़कर तबाह कर रहा है।
कोई भी भूतों का आवाहन करके वोट लूट रहा है।देश बेच रहा है।धर्म बेच रहा है।आस्था बेच रहा है।नफरत का कारोबार कर रहा है।
जैसे भारत विभाजन में अंबेडकर की कोई भूमिका नहीं थी वैसे ही गांधी की भी कोई भूमिका नहीं थी।हिंदुत्व के महागठबंधन ने गांधी का वध कैबिनेट प्रोपजल फाइनल होने से पहले कर दिया था।कोलकाता डायरेक्ट एक्शन और नोआखाली के दंगों से पहले।बंगाल और पंजाब और दिल्ली और उत्तर भारत में खून की नदियां बहने से पहले।गांधी का चेहरा दिखाकर हिंदुत्व गठबंधन ने नेताजी, अंबेडकर, फजलुल हक, सीमांत गांधी,वगैरह वगैरह ही नहीं तमाम धर्मनिरपेक्ष,प्रगतिशील,समाजवादी और वाम ताकतों को किनारे लगा दिया और अपना हिंदू राष्ट्र बना लिया। 30 जनवरी,1948 को गोडसे ने सिर्फ गांधी के औपचारिक अंतिम संस्कार की व्यवस्था कर दी औक सरकारी तौर पर गांधी की मृत्यु घोषणा हुई।
सिर्फ भूत बोल रहे हैं।इंसान कहीं नहीं बोल रहा है।
हम सिर्फ इंसान और कायनात के हकहकूक के हक में अपनी बेदम आवाज बुलंद कर रहे हैंं।

Please skip the beef gate!Skip the Culture Shock!
It divides India vertically in Hindutva and Islam as it had been divided just before the Partition to have a Hindu Nation.
The Grand Hindu alliance excluding the democratic, secular and progressive forces and the father of the nation Killed Gandhi and Godse just performed the last vedic rites!And we are the Victims of Partition which continues!
पुरस्कार लौटाने से कुछ बदलने वाला नहीं है अगर हम लड़ाई के मैदान में कहीं हैं ही नहीं!

I have been trying to decode the partition phenomenon and already posted three videos.Better that you should watch all of them and interact to help us in our quest for the truth which we perhaps do not know at all!
Did Gandhi endorse the Hindu Nation? Had he any role in partition at all?
गहरी साजिशों और सौदेबाजी का नतीजा रहा है भारत का बंटवारा!बंटवारा का वहीं सिलसिला जारी है।
अंबेडकर ने संविधान का प्रावधान रचा लेकिन भारत विभाजन के केबिनेट मिशन के प्रस्तावों में उनका योगदान ता नहीं और न ही इन प्रस्तावों के बारे में वे जानते थे।
हिंदुत्ववादियों ने हिंदू राष्ट्र और मुस्लिम लीग ने पाकिस्तान ब्रिटिश हुकूमत की मर्जी मुताबिक हासिल किया और किसी ने ऐतराज भी नहीं किया।
सत्ता पर काबिज होकर कायनात की सारी रहमतों,बरकतों और नियमतों की दखलदारी के मकसद से जातियां और अस्मिताएं जो कुत्तों की सरह लड़ रही है,वही सियासत है इनदिनों।
क्या बाबासाहेब ने भारत विभाजन के लिए गांधी और कांग्रेस के साथ समझौता कर लिया था?
बाबासाहेब ईश्वर नहीं थे।उन्हें कृपया ईश्वर न बनाइये।सच का सामना कीजिये।
विडंबना है कि हिंदू राष्ट्र भारत ने नेपाल को चीन की झोली में डाल दिया।क्या यह राष्ट्रद्रोह नहीं है?
भारतले मधेसवादी आन्दोलनकारीहरूको मागप्रतिसहमति जनाउंदै नेपालको नयां संविधान २०७२ लाईसमर्थन गरेन। यसै वहानामा विगत दुई हप्तादेखिभारतले नेपालविरुद्ध अघोषित नाकावन्दी गरेकोलेनेपालीको जन-जीवन अति कष्टकर भएको छ।
and see the plight of the victims of partition!
