RSS speak

Sir, — The outburst of the RSS chief, K.S. Sudarshan, that the Left parties are indulging in "backseat driving" is not unjustified. But coalitions have made it inevitable.

Sir, — Mr. Sudarshan's criticism of the BJP's electoral promise of appointing two lakh Urdu teachers is interesting. He holds the language responsible for the "vivisection of the country." Vivisection is the cutting up of a single living organism.

Did not Mr. Sudarshan's tribe hold, long before Partition, that Muslims were entirely different from Hindus though they had lived together for centuries?

He asks India's Muslims and Christians to accept their Indian ancestry. But it is his tribe that has been denying it to them.
