This Muslims Unfiltered breaks down Mohan Bhagwat’s tour of New York, Toronto and London, and why an elderly man giving a speech about peace and unity at Madison Square Garden was met with protests, sanctions calls and a public disavowal from a sitting mayor. Bhagwat leads the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the RSS, the organisation described as the ideological parent of India’s ruling BJP, and this episode traces the RSS from its founding in 1925 through to its current position at the centre of Indian government. The video covers the RSS’s own history, including a 1931 trip to Fascist Italy by a mentor of its founder, who met Benito Mussolini and returned intent on building a Hindu version of the paramilitary training he witnessed there. It covers Golwalkar’s Bunch of Thoughts, which named Muslims, Christians and communists as internal threats to Hindu India, and traces the line from that ideology to 2014, when RSS thinking moved from the movement into the machinery of the Indian state. From there it lays out what Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and Indian Muslims themselves describe on the ground: the Citizenship Amendment Act, the abrogation of Kashmir’s special status, demolitions, mob violence and state surveillance. The episode closes on the real question raised by Bhagwat’s Western tour: whether the message of pluralism and harmony the RSS sells abroad has any relationship to the ideology, the politics and the lived reality it represents at home.
