- The region cannot have peace so long as India follows the RSS ideology

A defense pact was signed by US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 25, during the former’s visit to India. Under the $3 billion defense plan, the USA will provide Apache gunship helicopters and other defense equipment to India. It is strange that one of India’s priorities has been war. The proof of this is the growing defense budget of India. India’s current defense budget is $65 billion. With such a large defense budget, poverty and unemployment in India are increasing day by day. Why do extremists like Modi not understand that no one wins in war? War is only another name for disaster. History is full of the consequences of war, the study of which makes one’s hair stand up on end.
The greatest example of this is the First World War, which was fought initially between France, the UK and Russia on one hand and Germany, Austro-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire on the other. The war started in Europe but it spread all over the world. The allies of France and Germany were also involved in the war. The war was fought from 1914 to 1918. The war culminated in devastating catastrophe in which 40 million people were killed and wounded. It also includes 10 million soldiers. Then in 1939, World WarII began. This war continued until 1945. This war is the most devastating war in history. This war was fought between the USA. Russia, the UK, France and China on the one hand, along with their allies, and Germany, Italy, Japan and their allies on the other. An estimated 75 million people were killed in the war. Millions of people were injured in addition.
Due to the extremist thinking of the Indians, war has taken place between Pakistan and India. In 1965, India attacked Pakistan in the dark of night. India was defeated as a result of the Pakistan Army’s surprise response. The Indian dream of occupying Pakistan could not be fulfilled and India suffered a humiliating defeat. The se cession of East Pakistan in 1971 and the Kargil conflict of 1999 are reflective of India’s extremist thinking. There is a specific extremist ideology of the RSS in India. RSS ideology is the cause of India’s growing war obsession.
The atrocities in Kashmir are a reflection of the same extremist thinking, where the people have been locked up in their homes since August 5 last year. A long story of cruelty has been reported in Kashmir. Thousands of innocent Kashmiris have been martyred. Thousands of innocent children have been orphaned. Human rights flags have been scattered in Kashmir. As the ruler of the so called democratic state, Modi has a duty to stop the atrocities against Muslims in Kashmir and Delhi. The Indian people and ruler should now get rid of the RSS ideology which has led to many wars between the two countries.
What is the RSS? The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is the name of an extremist Hindu organization, founded in 1925. This organization wants to impose its views on the world. The idea of this organization is that India is only for Hindus. Followers of all other religions should not be allowed to live in India. The organization has its own training centres where its workers are trained in extremism. World organizations have declared it a terrorist organization a terrorist. This organization has the support of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is a member of the RSS.
Last month, the US President visited India and at the same time, the oppression of Muslims started, with a riot in New Delhi. This was a reflection of India’s cruel attitude. Iranian Foreign Minister Jawad Zarif condemned the bloodshed in Delhi. Muslims were massacred in New Delhi and their homes were burned. Muslims women were humiliated.
The atrocities committed in Gujarat, focused at Modi’s former capital of Ahmadabad, in the past are a reflection of the same extremist thinking where Muslims were brutally massacred. The houses of Muslims were burned and women were disgraced. Where a story of cruelty was committed, even people left their homes and emigrated.
The atrocities in Kashmir are a reflection of the same extremist thinking, where the people have been locked up in their homes since August 5 last year. A long story of cruelty has been reported in Kashmir. Thousands of innocent Kashmiris have been martyred. Thousands of innocent children have been orphaned. Human rights flags have been scattered in Kashmir. As the ruler of the so called democratic state, Modi has a duty to stop the atrocities against Muslims in Kashmir and Delhi. The Indian people and ruler should now get rid of the RSS ideology which has led to many wars between the two countries.
The US Taliban peace treaty is proof that no one wins in war.
Modi must understand this.
