Why The Choice of Kanyakumari?

Read On

THE RSS adopts a militant and aggressive attitude and sets itself up as the champion of what it considers to be the rights of Hindus against minorities. It has taken upon itself to teach the minorities their place, and if they are not willing to learn their place, to teach them a lesson. The RSS methodology for provoking communal violence is: a) rousing communal feelings in the majority community by the propaganda that Christians are not loyal citizens of this country: b) deepening the fear in the majority community by a clever propaganda that the population is decreasing; c) infiltrating into the administration and inducing the members of the civil and police services by adopting and developing communal attitude; d) training young people of the majority community in the use of weapons like daggers, swords and spears; e) spreading rumours to widen the communal cleavage and deepen communal colour to any trivial incident.
