SUBRAMANIAN SWAMY calling names to RSS (those were the different times!)

............

A gleaning of this press reveals without doubt that the RSS is an addict of Harvard Professor Samuel Huntington's thesis that the 21st century is going to witness a clash of civilisations, between the Islamic and other civilisations. The RSS indoctrination today through its networks is just this: that India should team up with the U.S. in wiping out the "evil" Islamic civilisation. As a byproduct, the RSS suggests that India identify itself with the U.S. in whatever it does. This is the bottom line of the RSS world-view. I believe that Vajpayee's letter to Clinton was drafted not by seasoned officials of the Ministry of External Affairs, but dictated by the unenlightened RSS types working as accountants and office clerks in the U.S. They had obviously got their way in making Vajpayee write this petition-letter to the U.S. President on May 11, thinking that the U.S. would be so pleased by India's implied desire to be a counterweight to China as to take India to its bosom and promote it all the way to permanent membership in the U.N. Security Council. One can now see how wrong they were by the way the world treated Vajpayee when he was in the U.N. recently. No world power leader wanted to meet him. For two days, he had no visitors at all! As for Clinton, he simply left New York for Washington as Vajpayee came in and soon thereafter announced the cancellation of his proposed visit to India despite Jaswant Singh's assurance to the contrary. Perhaps the RSS should realise that Harvard is not the U.S., Professor Huntington is not Nostradamus, and Washington is not as dumb as Jhandewalan (the RSS Control Centre).
