Difference between Hindu mahasabha and Muslim league?
Answers
The Hindu Mahasabha encouraged and helped to establish branches of the RSS in western Maharashtra, Delhi, Punjab and other places. They hoped to use the RSS as a youth wing, which the Sangh refused. To achieve its goal of organising the Hindu society, the RSS wanted to have friendly relations with the Hindu Mahasabha, which was ideologically closer to it than the Congress party, Arya Samaj and Sanatan Sabha.
RSS-Hindu Mahasabha had a tumultuous relationship. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the Hindu Mahasabha did not see eye to eye on several issues, including their approach to Mahatma Gandhi and his way of thinking, and their relationship went downhill over a period of time.
Godse wrote a letter to Savarkar in October 1932, complaining that the RSS was wasting the energy of the Hindu youth. Schism deepened as members such as Godse and Savarkar disapproved of the Sangh’s “socialist, austere way of life, which was drawing them closer to Gandhi” and for not supporting Mahasabha’s political activities.
After independence most of the Hindu Mahasabha leaders join RSS or Janasngh........
