Topic: Golwalkar

	Was Guru Golwalkar a Nazi?
		Golwalkar neither applauded the fact that Germans were staging a struggle against Jews, nor the German perception of why the Jews were unwelcome to stay, much less the specific methods adopted by the Nazis vis-à-vis the "Jewish question" in any phase of their term in power.
		Golwalkar says in so many words, in the very line which is always quoted to prove his Hitlerian leanings, that he wants "the foreign races in Hindusthan" to "adopt the Hindu culture and language" and to "lose their separate existence to merge in the Hindu race".
		Golwalkar argues quite correctly that established nations victorious in the Great War do not concede to their ethnic minorities the "minority rights" devised by the League of Nations as binding on the newly created states.

	Disowning Golwalkar’s We
		As long as Golwalkar has not been disentangled from this identification with the worst handful of lines in his repertoire, it is most unwise and self-destructive to be seen glorifying him.
		The “purge” to which Golwalkar referred, was the progressive exclusion of the Jews from public life and the policy of promoting their emigration.
		The attempt to distance Golwalkar from the contents of We by attributing the latter to another Hindutva writer are revelatory for the RSS state of mind regarding this embarrassing heritage.

	Nation's dharma above politics
		Golwalkar was just 35 when he took over the reins of the RSS in 1940.
		Golwalkar was not a politician; he was essentially a statesman-saint.
		Golwalkar always looked at the problems confronting the nation as a statesman and cautioned the leaders periodically.

	Golwalkar and the rise of militant Hindu nationalism - February 2006 IMC Special Edition Digest (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Golwalkar is the longest serving chief of RSS and also may be the most successful in terms of increasing membership and establishing shakhas.
		Golwalkar acclaims Manu as the "first and greatest lawgiver of the world" who "lays down in his code, directing all the peoples of the world to go to Hindusthan to learn their duties at the holy feet of 'eldest born' Brahmins of this land." (Golwalkar, 1939, pp.55-56).
		Golwalkar’s solution was simple: either accept his homogenous framework of the nation (Murli Joshi’s Ahemediya Hindus, Christiya Hindus) or remain outside, forever subordinated and at the peril of their extinction.

	Vinayak Damodar Savarkar and Madhavrao Sadashiv Golwalkar
		True, Golwalkar was imprisoned in the aftermath of the murder and the RSSs temporarily banned, but it was the Maharashtrian revolutionary and Hindu Mahasabha leader Vinayak Damodar Savarkar (1883-1966) who was the assassin Nathuram Godse's real ideological inspiration.
		Although Golwalkar was exonerated by a commission of inquiry and Savarkar acquitted by the court of actual involvement in the conspiracy, Hindu nationalism has had to live with the stigma of its two leading stalwarts being implicated in the Mahatma's murder.
		Golwalkar was a missionary, Savarkar was a visionary.

	The Hindu : Magazine / Columns : The guru of hate
		Golwalkar was a man of much energy and dynamism, under whose leadership the RSS steadily grew in power and influence.
		Golwalkar writes that the "hostile elements within the country pose a far greater menace to national security than aggressors from outside".
		Thus, on December 6, 1947, Golwalkar convened a meeting of RSS workers in the town of Govardhan, not far from Delhi.

	Central Chronicle--Column
		Golwalkar is credited with not only providing a theoretical background to the project of Hindutva but also carving out a mass base for the project through the unique method of affiliated organisations.
		Fondly called Golwalkar Guruji because of his brief stint in Benaras Hindu University as a teacher, he led RSS for an uninterrupted spell of 33 years starting from 1940.
		Looking at the key role played by Golwalkar in shaping RSS, it does not look surprising that the Parivar which has of late witnessed fissures of various sorts and is presently passing through a period of disorientation, has decided to celebrate his birth centenary in a big way.

	Sabrang Alert
		Golwalkar reveals that when the RSS was given its name some felt it should bear the prefix 'Hindu', not 'Rashtriya', lest its 'doors should have to be left open to all other people in the country.' Hedgewar ridiculed the idea.
		On February 6, Golwalkar gave a directive to 'disband the RSS till the ban is there' while 'denying all the charges.' He claimed that the RSS was law-abiding and would 'carry on its activities within the bounds of law.' Golwalkar was released on August 6, 1948 but his movements were restricted to Nagpur.
		Golwalkar replied angrily on May 17 claiming that these demands were 'wholly out of place in the matter under consideration', and urging the government to 'recognize the difference between a constitution and an oath of allegiance.' This is highly significant and touches the core of the RSS credo.

	Who is Golwalkar ? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Golwalkar and his views have been the target of most criticism from the left which with active support from the mainstream media has been successful in tainting the ideology spawned by him as fascist.
		Most of Golwalkar's speeches were in chaste hindi which straight away puts first hand interpretation out of the reach of most in the english mainstream media and hence most second hand interpretations must be taken with a grain of salt, especially those coming from a left of center persuasion.
		Golwalkar then goes on to talk about his concerns with Democracy bereft of values and how it can degenerate into sectarian power politics of the kind we are witnessing today.

	The Parivar's swansong - Hard News - Nothing But Politics
		Golwalkar was also averse to playing second fiddle to Savarkar, as Hedgewar had been doing.
		This could be interpreted as a plea for return to the Golwalkar attitude but the malady is deeper; the fissure is on the basis of Savarkar-Golwalkar antipathy.
		That is the crux of the matter-Advani, a Savarkarite, fighting Sudarshan, the follower of Golwalkar.

		Golwalkar remained its head and chief spokesman for 33 years, till he died in June 1973 at the age of 67.
		For a while, Golwalkar toyed with the idea of becoming a sanyasi scholar but was persuaded to take active part in societal problems.
		Golwalkarâs concept of a nation is as follows: ââ¦thus applying the modern understanding of âNationâ to our present conditions, the conclusion is unquestionably forced upon us that in this country, Hindusthan, the Hindu Race with its Hindu Religion, Hindu Culture and Hindu Language (the natural family of Sanskrit and her offsprings) complete the Nation conceptâ¦â

	Critique on Golwalkar's "We or our nationhood defined"
		We are witnessing a concerted attempt by the RSS to establish MS Golwalkar as the 'prophet of resurgent India', 'a saint', 'a new Vivekananda', the best son of Bahratmata', and the 'biggest gift to Hindu society in the 20th Century'.
		This in spite of the fact that Golwalkar, throughout his life, remained committed to the concept of Hindutva which meant an inherent faith in Casteism, Racism and Imperialism.
		He stood for the establishment of a Hindu rashtra, or nation, where minorities like Muslims and Christians could exist only as second class citizens.

	India: 'Karmayogi' Golwalkar Guruji Coming soon to a theatre near you
		Golwalkar in this interview had extolled the virtues of Chaturvarnya (the division of the Hindus in four Varnas) and had also glorified Manusmriti, the ancient edicts of the Hindus.
		Retrospectively, it can be said that Golwalkar, whose project of Hindu unity which took inspiration from the experiments in social engineering undertaken by the likes of Hitler-Mussolini, miserably failed to see this historic march of history.
		It was a time when Golwalkar as a leader of his organisation, was forced to revisit the ways and means of sustaining the project of building a Hindu Rashtra.

		Golwalkar rejected this formulation and emphasised that India is not only an ancient nation but also co-terminus with civilisation.
		Golwalkar stated in 1940 that the aim of the RSS was "to establish pure nationalism and to root out rabid individualism, which weakens foundation of nationalism".
		Golwalkar argues that the ancestral unity on the one hand and co-sharing and inheriting of cultural and intellectual legacy on the other creates a sense of oneness.

	HIMAL SOUTHASIAN \| May - June 2006
		Golwalkar was born on 19 February 1906, and 2006 is being celebrated across India to mark his centenary.
		Golwalkar emerged as one of a triumvirate of Hindu nationalists – together with Indian nationalists Vinayak Damodar Savarkar and Keshav Baliram Hedgewar – which actively sought a Hindu rashtra based on ‘Hindutva’, a term coined by Savarkar in or around 1923.
		The period when Golwalkar was anointed Supremo was marked by three worldwide currents: the ascendance of the forces of Nazism and Fascism; the surge in anti-colonial struggle; and the emergence of militant socialist movements in several countries, with help and support from Soviet Russia.

		Addressing the Sangh in 1968, Golwalkar argued that whether we consider an enemy to be a friend or a foe, the ultimate reality is that he will be forever an enemy.
		Golwalkar went to the extent of likening politics to a “woman of the multitude, a harlot, a prostitute, who takes on various guises”.
		Once again, this is a radical departure from the tenets of Golwalkar, who sought to mould the organisation on the model of renunciation, something he himself briefly engaged in during his stay with Swami Akhandananda of the Ramakrishna Mission.

		Bibhuti heard the swami say to Golwalkar: 'You will have the knowledge of Brahman!' A few days later, with his guru's permission, Golwalkar left the ashrama.

		We shall have to face obstacles and adversities.
		If we to live up to their legacy, we must live as Hindus, we must appear as Hindus and also we must make ourselves felt by the whole world as Hindus.
		This instinct comes into play when the wider grasp of national life is lost sight of and narrow concepts of sect, creed, caste or some such things reign supreme in the mind." - MS Golwalkar

		He added that these films should be shown all over the country.
		While 'Karma Yogi', a 110-minute docu-drama on the life of Golwalkar, is directed by former BJP MP and TV actor Nitish Bhardawaj, 'Seva Diksha', a 45-minute documentary directed by Arjun Bhagat, is about social welfare projects undertaken by the organisation.

		It seems, the destiny spared him, for it was he, who in later years as the second sar-sanghachalak of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh was to be the cynosure of the nation.
