🇮🇳 A Long History of Riots and Capitalist Connection of RSS

The riots of 1946-7 had brought radicals on both sides to the fore. On the Muslim side it was the Muslim National Guards and the Khaksars; on the Hindu side the Hindu Mahasabha and the #RSS.
Founded in 1925, the RSS was now led by M. S. Golwalkar, an intense man of extreme views, determined to purge India of all non-Hindu influences.

#RSS cadres had played an active part in the violence in the Punjab. Now, in Delhi, they sought to crystallise and take advantage of the swarm of Hindu and Sikh refugees that had come into the city.

On March 8, 1947, a rally of RSS workers of the Delhi Province was held. Some 100,000 volunteers participated. The chief guest was M. S. Golwalkar, who told the gathering that it 'was the duty of every Hindu to defend his religion'.

Two days later, a meeting of #RSS leaders was held in the home of one Sham Behari Lal in Daryaganj.

The attendees seemed to be mostly Hindu merchants. The fragile Hindu-Muslim situation in Punjab was discussed.

One Lala Hari Chand presented a purse of 𝐑𝐬 𝟏𝟎𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 to M. S. Golwalkar on behalf of the Delhi branch.

Golwalkar, in his speech, said that if the Hindus perished, the Sangh would perish. Golwalkar added that 'the disunity among Hindus in the Punjab was the cause of the present calamity. The Sangh should unite the Hindus and the capitalists should help by funds'.
