“Fifty years ago, Pandit Upadhyaya said ‘Do not appease Muslims, do not shun them, but purify them’,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on September 25, 2016, while addressing the BJP’s national council convened in Kozhikode on the birth centenary of Deendayal Upadhyaya – the RSS ideologue who had played a crucial role in setting the political and cultural agenda of the party’s earlier avatar, the Bharatiya Jana Sangh.
Naming yojanas, educational institutions and hospitals after him, spending crores of taxpayers’ money to make his books available in government libraries and holding quizzes in schools about the life and thought of a man who presumed the country’s Muslims were impure in some sense, are all a clear indication of the government’s intention to resurrect this Hindutva icon.
Under such circumstances, a look back at the virulent ideology of this ‘Merchant of Hate’ as A.G. Noorani called him – a leader who regarded the Muslim community as anti-national, secularism as an attack on the very soul of India, federalism as a separatist tendency acting against the national ethos and the constitution as an Anglo-Indian child who should never be accepted as purely Indian – might as well be a gaze into the crystal ball telling us of the times to come: of the challenges that the coming years will pose to those determined to uphold constitutional values in the face of a sustained assault on them.
