    Without going into any controversy about the Dasam Granth, Bhai Ajmer Sing is right in pointing out that the Nirmala sect introduced Brahmanical practices, the Gita, and intoxicants in Sikh places of worship. Sant Attar Singh started an initiation movement to remove anti-Sikh practices from the Sikh faith. The Nirmallas interepreted Sikh teachings through a Vedic lens. Some British administers, who were genuinely concerned about the eroding Sikh identity, used Christian metaphysics/theology to interpret the teachings. Terms like monotheist, god, lord, master, heaven and hell were used. The Muslims looked upon Guru Nanak as their own because of his travels in the middle east, his close relation to Muslims, his teaching of One Creator, rejection of Hindu practices. We have 3 different perspectives. How can the Guru contradict himself? He didn't, the ambiguities came about as a result of interpretation by non Sikh 'scholars'. Today there are many decent people like Seechewal who work for the community, but what good is he when his sect is cutting our roots, making RSSs job easier. And then there are the modern secularists who looking through the prism of scientific rationality have reduced the Guru to a religious reformer like Luther King.

    Question by RSS office Bearers to a Gursikh - Why are Sikhs against RSS Rashtriya Svayam sevak or its prodigy RSS Rashtriya Sikh sangat?
    Answer by Gursikh -
    Brahminism has always feared the Sikh faith. The Sikh Gurus proclaimed the equality of all humanity and rejected practices like caste, holy threads and worship of the cow. The exploitation of simple people by the Brahmin was eliminated. Although Hindu fundamentalists have taken a keen interest in destroying Sikhism for centuries, this latest cycle of Hindu attacks on Sikhism can be traced to 1993 though it actually started in 1925, The Sikh Liberation Movement had been brutally crushed in Punjab and was on its final breaths. Sikh villagers were afraid of being identified as being practicing Sikhs and roves of young Sikh men were cutting their hair so that they would not be harassed or killed by the police.
    It was at this point that a new "Sikh" organization, the Rashtri Sikh Sangat began to enter Sikh villages. This organization began to distribute literature about the Sikh faith and hold meetings. Many villagers thought that it was an attempt to revive Sikh pride, but in fact, the literature was written to show Sikhs to be a part of Hinduism.
    Some quotes from RSS
    "Instead of sacrificing humans, Guru ji sacrificed goats and started the tradition of Punj Pyaaray. All five Pyaaras were followers of the Hindu faith" {Dr. Himmat Sinh in Rashtra Dharam)
    "The Sikh Gurus showed faith in the Hindu faith and visited Hindu pilgrimage sites to show this" (Rashtra Dharam, p. 31)
    "When Guru Arjan was doing the Kar Seva of Harimandeir, Vishnu reflected and said, "Lakshmi, the Guru is my own form. There is no difference between us. He is making my temple. Let us go and see the building of our new temple…" (Rashtra Dharam, 90)
    "The difference between Hindus and Sikhs was the creation of the English mind." (Rashtra Dharam, 98)
    "If today someone were to make a portrait of Guru Nanak without a beard and turban, his life would be in danger but in fact, the practice of keeping long hair and beards began only in the 20th Century. (Madhu Kishvara, Hindustan Times Aug 21, 1999)
    "Guru Arjan Dev and Guru Tegh Bahadur used to pay obeisance to the feet of the Devi" (Surindar Kumar, Jag Bani)
    "Guru Gobind Singh with the blessings of the Avtars (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva) created the Khalsa Panth." (Sangat Sandesh, Sept 1998)
    "Maharana Partap, the Rani of Jhansi and Guru Gobind Singh were all great patriots" (Rashtra Dharam)
    "The Sangh [RSS] is the Khalsa" (Ravani, Dec 1997)
    A 25-Point of Attack
    The RSS has 25 points with which it hopes to attack the Sikh faith and lead to its eventual assimilation. All 25 points are very easily refuted but lack of education and knowledge coupled with the RSS’s organized attack make this a serious danger.
    These points are already being incorporated into school text books and taught as real history. This skewed history is already taught in many areas.
    1) Sikhs are an inseparable part of Hindu society.
    2) If Hinduism is a tree, Sikhism is a fruit on that tree.
    3) Gurbani is like the Ganga, it emerges from the Gangotri of the Vedas
    4) The Khalsa was crated to protect Hinduism and Hindustan
    5) Japji Sahib is a summary of the Gita
    6) The Failure of the 1857 "War of Independence" [in reality an unorganized uprising by Poorbiya soldiers who 8 years earlier helped the British conquer Punjab] was defeated only by the Sikhs
    7) Banda Singh Bahadur was really Veer Banda Bairagi
    8) The Sikh Gurus worshipped the cow
    9) Condemning Bhai Kanh Singh Nabha and Bhai Veer Singh
    10) Use examples from Trumpp and other anti-Sikh western scholars
    11) The Sikh Gurus used Vedic ceremonies
    12) Guru Gobind Singh worshipped the Goddess Durga
    13) Guru Sahib was from the family or Ram and his devotee
    14) Sikhs are from Lav-Kush
    15) Baba Ram Singh was the legitimate Guru of the Sikhs
    16) Create posters which challenge Sikh principles but appear to be pro-Sikh
    17) Insist on using the Bikrami calendar and share Hindu festivals
    18) Call Bhai Hakeekat Singh, Hakeekat Rai and illustrate him as a clean-shaven Hindu
    19) Claim [with no historical basis] that Guru Gobind Singh sent his army to liberate Ram Janam Bhumi in Ayodhya from the Mughals
    20) To create the Khalsa, Guru Gobind Singh seeked blessing from the gods and goddesses and used Hindu mantras. The Kakaars were also blessings from the gods.
    21) Equate "Ik Oankaar" with "OM"
    22) Call Bhai Mati Das "Guru Mati Das Sharma"
    23) To do parkash of Sree Guru Granth Sahib in Mandirs and put pictures of Hindu Gods in Sikh Gurdwaras
    24) Project Guru Gobind Singh as having taken a different ideology from Guru Nanak and to make him into a Patriotic Hero of India
    25) Make all of Sikh history take a Hindu tint.
    These are some of the very few reasons sikhs are against RSS.
    RSS involvement in Sikh Genocide ---- There is so much proof. There were at least 600 FIR against many RSS workers BJP's role in the 1984 Sikh riots. In fact Vajpaicommended Indra for attack on Golden Temple which Advani also supported.
    So BJP, RSS and Congress all are guilty of killing Sikh. Even if few people saved Sikh does not absolve those who murdered Sikhs. The RSS helping Sikh is also a propaganda to get support which is a recent edit on Wiki and is being exaggerated to a big number. Modi wants to play a positive social media image of BJP and RSS.
    I doubt you will get articles in support of RSS involvement except the copies of FIR and old newspaper reports. Few have managed to be there still.
    and indirect. One may say that they were downplayed by congress to feel anti-sikh due to the terrorists activity in Punjab but that does not justify them killing innocent Sikh.
    When ever riots happen people of both sides gets killed, but in 1984 only people dead were Sikh.
    The RSS and BJP did not raise their voice when congress was brutally inciting violence and then very conveniently opposed the same 2 years later naming Congress as the defaulter. In fact many RSS members still believe that what happened in 1984 was necessary to control the Sikh and their power. All these organisations are equally liable and will be no matter how many lives they save later.

    Derrida's deconstruction can be liberating at times and sometimes a nuisance. He deconstructs oversimplified national identities and homogenized nation states, but continues with his method to locate heterogeneity in sub groups, preventing any kind of unified cohesive community to form. Consequently the community is depoliticized, and has no target - no political aim, no struggle for self determination. Edward Said was critical of Derrida for placing things out of context. Edward was a campaigner for Palestinian political independence and his work is indicative of this, whereas Derrida remained almost absent from politics. Derrida's greatest contribution however is on interpretation and translation of texts, and Edwards path breaking book Orientalism owes much to Foucault and Derrida.
    Orientalism has the tendency to universalize identities. There are people today who talk of the universality of Islam or Buddhism and Confucianism, when it is apparent that the people who practice these religions are divided on national lines. Vietnamese for example are not Chinese, centuries of conflict divided these people. The Vietnamese are proud of their distinct identity and cultural heritage, just as Japanese are proud of theirs. But Japan is not homogenous, and neither is China, though Buddhism or Daoism may have a universal appeal.
