RASHTRIYA SWAYAMSEVAK SANGH (RSS) BETRAYED SARDAR PATEL

As the Union Home Minister, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel explicitly mandated that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) adopt a written constitution restricting itself purely to cultural work and eschewing political activity as a pre-condition for lifting the 1948 government ban.



Following the ban imposed on the RSS in February 1948 after Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination, Patel insisted that the organization must operate under a formal, written constitution. This constitution had to guarantee explicit loyalty to the Constitution of India, respect for the National Flag, inner-party democracy, and a commitment to function as an open cultural body eschewing political ambitions.

The RSS Constitution (Article 4): Second Sarsanghchalak M.S. Golwalkar drafted and submitted the RSS constitution to Patel's Home Ministry in 1949. Article 4(b) explicitly codified that the Sangh "as such, has no politics and is devoted to purely cultural work," though individual members were free to join political parties that did not advocate violence or secrecy.

Satisfied with the written assurances, the Government of India released a press communique on July 11, 1949, formally lifting the ban on the RSS.

To circumvent the agreement with Sardar Patel, RSS teamed up with Syama Prasad Mookerjee of Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha to create an entirely new political party—the Bharatiya Jana Sangh (BJS), where RSS can run in Indian political process.



Bharatiya Jana Sangh (BJS) then merged with Janata Party in March 1977. Conflict arose within the Janata Party coalition over "dual membership." Rival factions demanded that former BJS members sever their ties with the RSS. When the BJS leaders refused to abandon their RSS affiliation, the coalition fractured, causing the Janata Party government to collapse.

Ousted from the Janata Party, the former Jana Sangh leaders—headed by Atal Bihari Vajpayee and L.K. Advani—met in New Delhi and officially emerged as Bharatiya Janata Party on April 6, 1980 with RSS placing its functionaries in direct political role.



From the founding of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh in 1951 by Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee to founding of the Bharatiya Janata Party by the former Jana Sangh leaders—headed by Atal Bihari Vajpayee and L.K. Advani, the RSS regularly deputed key pracharaks (full-time organizers) to serve as party office-bearers (typically as General Secretaries of Organization) to manage party cadre and maintain ideology.

Today these same Sanghi clowns try to claim Sardar Patel's legacy, the ones who betrayed Sardar Patel.

THE POLITICS OVER BORDER FENCING

  When Modi sarkar came into office in 2014, 1. Roughly 1,520 km of the total 2,216.7 km border was already fenced in West Bengal. All of it by UPA-I and UPA-II under Dr Manmohan Singh. 2. By August 2025, Modi sarkar managed to fence only 127km in 12 years. 3. Pending (Feasible): 456.2 km 4. Non-Feasible/Unfenceable: 112.8 km (Rivers/Swamps/Sundarbans mangroves etc) For 12 years Modi and Shah have been screaming Ghuspethiya because they failed to fence a mere 456 kms while past govts, UPA-I and UPA-II under Dr Manmohan Singh, since the year 2000 managed to complete 1,520 km of the total 2,216.7 km border in Bengal and also the rest of the Indo-Bangla border stretching across 4,096.7 km Nobody asked when over 3,232 km is already fenced and sealed, what prevented BSF from sealing a mere 456.2 km by physical control and patrolling? Border sealing in any case is the primary responsibility of the BSF. Suvendu Adhikar says that BSF will be provided land within 45 days for border fencing ...

  CROSSING "THE THIN RED LINE" The "Thin Red Line" often means the final boundary or division between order and chaos, or between good and evil. It is also used to denote a limit beyond which someone must not go without facing severe consequences. It suggests the idea of a physical boundary marking the limits between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. The expression is part of the English language vocabulary. However, there is a military origin to this phrase which goes back to the British Crimean War, particularly the Balaklava Campaign. Though the Balaklava Campaign became infamous for one of the most infamous blunders in military history, the Charge of the Light Brigade, made immortal by Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon behind them Volleyed and thundered; Stormed at with shot and shell, While horse and hero fell. They that had fought so well Came through the jaws of Death, Back from the mouth of h...
