Modism is 21st century Nazism.

Byline: Dr Farid A Malik

After the First World War (1914-1918) the Nazi Party was formed in Germany in the year 1920. Adolf Hitler who later became the leader of this political outfit joined in 1921. It was a quasi military outfit that promoted physical fitness of its members. Its popularity increased over the years, finally coming into power in 1933. It led the world in Second World War finally perished after destroying both Germany and Europe.

Impressed by the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany, RSS (Rashtriya Swayam servak Sanh) was founded in the India Sub-Continent in 1925 at Nagpur by K. B. Kedgewar. It was a 'National Patriotic Organization' was membership was limited to believers of Hindu faith. It preached 'Hinduvata' which translates into a fascist Hindu State.

Due to its antidemocratic actions RSS has been banned four times. First by the British and thrice by the elected India governments. After the murder of Mahatama Gandhi the father of the nation this fascist outfit was banned. When Indira Gandhi imposed emergency (1975-1977) she banned RSS and then after the demolition of the historic Babri Mosque in 1992 the democratic government of Indian National Congress (INC) clipped their wings. As early as 1934 INC which was leading the freedom movement in the Sub-Continent disallowed its members from joining RSS as it was considered a fascist organization which was considered anti secular and against a democratic state. Ministries who opted to stay within the Indian Union were assured equal status and rights which have now been denied by imposition of 21st century Nazism in the form of Modism.

Democracy and fascism cannot co-exist as they are the antithesis of each other. Most religious outfits usually do not fare well in politics. Janaat-e-Islami is a prime example of this poor performance. Learning from this dismal political performance, RSS span off a political entity by the name of Bharatiya Janta party (BJP). Atal Bihari Vajpayee and L. K. Advani both active members of RSS while Advani kept his links. Atal ji was unable to win a second term despite his claims of 'Shining India'. He did travel to Lahore on a peace mission and signed a declaration as well.

Extended terms are harmful for democracy. Into his second term Modi has managed to take complete control of the parliament. Now he is in a position to pursue his dreams of 'Hinuvata' for which RSS his parent organization was formed. He has followed the 'Hitler Road map' of control...
