There’s much to question Hindutva/RSS about, calling it ISIS is more a rant than politics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uH0W0QVc4kU Shekhar Gupta in #NationalInterest
Nov 13, 2021 Salman Khurshid isn’t the first to succumb to pre-siesta intellectual laziness. Congress leaders taking the cue must read up on ISIS and learn electoral politics all over again.

SHEKHAR GUPTA 13 November, 2021 There is a lot that is common between all social forces that mix religion with politics. It can range from the Indian Union Muslim League to Abbas Siddiqui, the maulvi of Furfura Sharif near Kolkata, to elements of the old Kerala Congress, Akali Dal and definitely, the elephant in the room, the BJP. None is shy of employing religion for political power. None is shy of saying rude things about those of ‘other’ faiths. Yet, would you compare them with ISIS?
Its governments are selective in their treatment of crimes against Muslims, or by them. That it has kept India’s Muslims systematically out of all power structures, politics, top civil services, security, judicial positions. Also, that often enough, it says rude things about Muslims to offend them as a tactic. But, does that prove RSS=ISIS?
