Most of the BJP leaders are former RSS members including modi. Source https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-29593336

RSS ideology is to make india a hindu religous state. Hinduism is based on the vedic books which advocate varna system.

You are wrong. The Vedas have nothing to do with the varna (caste) system. The caste system came much later and they have nothing to do with the foundations of Hinduism. There are several sects of Hinduism which explicitly reject the caste system. Look up Arya Samaj etc.

I have a feeling have I wasted my time in engaging with facts for someone whose mind is already made up about my faith.

It think it is intellectually dishonest to cast Arya Samaj in the same category as Vedic Hinduism. Considering Hinduism's age it was an very recent revisionist reform that happened yesterday. It was nowhere close to main stream Hinduism and wasn't the only such attempt at a reform. Existence of such reforms does not take away the well entrenched nature of the caste system and how far back it goes in time.

That's just semantic skullduggery. RSS does not fight elections, but they play king maker in these right wing party politics and take part sending their emissaries through revolving door between "social" and the "political"

That is a baseless claim. Completely false.
