This sounds too good to be true. If it indeed is, then it is definitely good
news and needs to be replicated on a larger scale especially in Gujarat where
much healing is the need of the hour. At the same time, I would prefer to have
this info collaborated by some independent source or even the victims
themselves. The sangh parivar has been notorious for creating spins. The late
Vithal Gadgil who lived in the RSS stronghold and who knew them intimately,
used to call the RSS - rumour spreading society. The sangh parivar is very
media savvy and possesses excellent communication skills.eg: the campaign
against Praibha Patil which contained half truths and outright lies(refer
article in Outlook magazine). The sangh parivar has cultivated journalists and
pampered them. eg: Chandan Mitra of Pioneer who was a nobody before he cosied
up to the BJP, Balbir Punj, Dinanath Mishra, M V Kamath, Swapan Dasgupta.
The sangh parivar which is a great admirer of Hitler and the nazi ideology has
also learnt a lot from its propaganda chief Goebells. Goebells used to say that
if you repeat a lie a thousand times it becomes the truth. The sangh parivar
has used this to great effect in the past. The sangh parivar has also used
modern technology to great effect like sending out sms' through the mobile
phone network, emails through the internet. The Congress is largely living in
the past and has yet to catch up with modern technology. As for the left, their
mindset is the greatest barrier to progress.
Anyway, if the RSS multplies its good works and gives up its pet agenda of hate
and violence, it will be a big blessing for all of us. We can then look forward
to nation building and channellise all our energies into productive purposes.
Cheers!
