What are you talking about? Didn’t you see the national flag hoisting event in RSS headquarters live on the news like every year?

He's talking about the fact that the RSS did not raise the Indian flag till about 2002. And that their historical opposition to the flag is well documented.

No, I want to see RSS every year as much as a True Indian want to see Pakistan Independence Day parade. Never.

RSS did not hoist Tiranga till 2002. Don't you know or you conveniently ignore?

Wow, that seems to be correct. I wonder why they would do that. In my childhood I went to an RSS school and we used to hoist the national flag all the time. Strange.

The RSS does not want India, they want Bharat, they are for a Hindu nation. This isn't even a hidden fact, but in every basic dossier on India.

Where Hindu is a nationality/culture and not a religion. India is a name given by slavers. Bharat is a very very old concept.

That lovely linguistic sleight of hand means that people called a region bharat. By the criteria how come Sri Lanka is not included? Or how do you reconcile the 7 sisters being part of that? For that matter the word Europe exists - are you arguing that states should act like nations a la the EU?

I reconcile that by the fact that the same unifying culture is and has been present for centuries in the whole subcontinent.

How do you reconcile that beef eating is fine in Kerala Hindus and abhorrent/used to target minorities by North Indian Hindus?
