In 1942 during the world war IInd , Britishers sought INC’s support in the actual fight, which was declined by the INC, but the Muslim League and Hindu Mahasabha supported them during the war against the stand taken by the INC (Indian National Congress), resulting in the Muslim League having achieved their goal to have their own country, but the Hindu Mahasabha supported Britishers to go into world war IInd along with them. RSS, BJP, VHP, Bajrang Dal are the descendants of the same Hindu Sabha which acted as paid agents and informers of the British, Karra said.
We must gear up to embark upon a similar do or die mission to save democracy, which is being ruined and assaulted on every single day by the BJP Govt to remain in power.
