Show Your Spine, If You Have One

@RaziaMashkoor

Since its founding in 1925, the RSS has systematically worked to shape minds, not just politics. Over a century, its ideology has been injected generation after generation—normalizing hatred, suspicion, and division as “nationalism.”

The result is visible today:
Four generations groomed to see Muslims as enemies, to glorify Hindu majoritarianism, to defend Brahmanwaad, and to accept caste hierarchy as culture rather than oppression. This is not accidental. It is the outcome of long-term ideological conditioning.

Hatred did not erupt overnight—it was taught, repeated, rewarded, and weaponized.

What’s more disturbing is the silence. Hardly anyone asks critical questions about the RSS itself—its mindset, its historical role, or its social consequences. Political power did not make this ideology dangerous; decades of unchecked social indoctrination did.

A society that feeds hate to its children cannot later claim innocence when those children grow into adults who justify lynching, discrimination, and exclusion.

If you truly care about India’s future, show your spine.
Question the ideology.
Challenge the hate.
Refuse to call bigotry “culture” or “patriotism.”

Because a nation raised on poison cannot pretend to be shocked when it spreads.
