Mahatma Gandhi' and Hitler's Secularism

Mahatma Gandhi's Secularism

 If I were a dictator, religion and state would be separate. I swear by my religion. I will die for it. But it is my personal affair. The state has nothing to do with it. The state would look after your secular welfare, health, communications, foreign relations, currency and so on, but not your or my religion. That is everybody's personal concern!

Adolf Hitler's Secularism

Secular schools can never be tolerated because such a school has no religious instruction and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith . . . We need believing people.

Balasaheb Deoras’s Letters to Acharya Vinoba Bhave for Requesting Indira Gandh to lift the ban on RSS During Emergency on  12th January 1976 Balasaheb Deoras, the third Sarsanghchalak of the RSS, wrote at least two letters to Acharya Vinoba Bhave in early 1976 while detained during the Emergency. The one specifically dated 12 January 1976 (written from prison, reportedly St. George’s Hospital ward or Yerwada) focused on defending the RSS against allegations of violence and seeking Bhave’s intercession to lift the ban on the organization. This letter appears to have been a follow-up or parallel effort after letters to Indira Gandhi went unanswered. Bhave did not respond effectively.  Letter Dated 12 January 1976 Acharya Vinoba Bhave,  Pavnar Ashram, Wardha, District Wardha. At the feet of Respected Acharya Vinobaji, A meeting of the Acharyas of our country under your guidance has been scheduled to be held on the 16th, 17th and 18th January and it has been informed that dis...

 Balasaheb Deoras’s 2nd Letters to Acharya Vinoba Bhave  (February 1976) Balasaheb Deoras, the third Sarsanghchalak of the RSS, wrote at least two letters to Acharya Vinoba Bhave in early 1976 while detained during the Emergency. The 2nd letter Letter to Vinoba Bhave was undated or around late February 1976. This one was prompted by news that Indira Gandhi would meet Bhave at Paunar Ashram on or around 24 February. It is more explicitly pleading and is often quoted together with the January letter. These letters were later placed in the Maharashtra Assembly and reproduced in sources like D.R. Goyal’s Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and appendices in Deoras’s own Hindi book Hindu Sangathan aur Sattavadi Rajneet i. Letter February 1976 At the feet of Respected Acharya Vinobaji, I wrote a letter to you from Ekhra Jail on 12-1-76. You might have received that at the time when the Conference of the Acharyas was going to begin. I hope so. I wrote in that letter what the Sangh had to say...
