Via Communalism Watch. Unfortunately, this blog doesn't give the right context to the video, and even though it is somewhat relevant to the current state of affairs, the article was dated in 2003, just after the Gujarat riots.
Daily Herald: Passage from India : The scars of Nationalism.
Apart from a decent article on the nature of the Sangh Parivar, and it's presence in USA, the article has a
video of a person, presumably from the Hindu suicide squad, passionately talking about why he feels the squad is needed. Do remember the context in 2003, his arguments and the apparent aim of the group is against Pakistan. A
flier from the squad articulates the position of the group.
However, the parallels of the situation in India today is scarily becoming parallel to the experience of Pakistan. At the beginning, benevolent rulers in Pakistan allowed groups like this to flourish because they thought it was okay as long as they target India. As history has shown, these groups in Pakistan became really big and powerful in time, and have now moved back and targeted Pakistan itself, aiming to establish their medieval interpretation of their religion on the country, like Taliban.
Similarly, these Hindu groups were allowed to go ahead and flourish in 2003. Indoctrinated heavily, these are now coming back and biting our country with a greater agenda of their radical idea of Hinduism they call Hindutva. They have already shown their bomb making prowess. With indoctrinated suicide bombers like these, how long before we start getting blown up in the road to Hindu rashtra?
