"Why Didn't All Muslims Move to Pakistan in 1947" | Ratan Sharda on Partition & RSS | Spotlight

Ratan Sharda, a senior RSS ideologue, discusses the history and influence of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh over its 100‑year legacy, from its quiet role in India’s freedom struggle to the unjust ban following Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination. He examines the controversial decision to prevent Muslim migration to Pakistan in 1947, arguing it was a strategic and cultural mistake that continues to affect India. The episode also explores the complex relationship between the RSS and the BJP, the respect shown by Sardar Patel, and Nehru’s ban on the organization, as well as the ongoing defamation by secularist forces. Sharda highlights the RSS’s role in countering religious conversions, Islamist extremism, and extremist ideologies such as Ghazwa‑e‑Hind, positioning the organization as a shield for Hindu unity and nationalism. 00:00 - Montage 06:33 - What is RSS and What is its Ideology? 09:10 - Why was RSS Formed? 09:38 - Did RSS Succeed in Its Aim in 100 Years? 13:32 - What is the History of RSS? 19:05 - Was RSS Involved in the Assassination of Mahatma Gandhi? 22:06 - RSS's Role in India's Freedom Fight 33:48 - Was 2014 a Turning Point for Hindus and RSS? 45:55 - The Real Ideology of Hindutva 48:59 - Reality of Veer Savarkar's Maafinama 51:45 - Relations of Sardar Patel with RSS 56:27 - Does RSS Only Work for Hindus? 58:11 - How to Tackle Khalistanis? 01:01:50 - What is RSS Doing for Hindus of West Bengal? 01:05:38 - What is Ghazwa-e-Hind? 01:06:22 - Reality of Bengal Violence 01:08:21 - Dark Reality of Ghazwa-e-Hind 01:15:50 - Is the Waqf Board a Parallel Land Ministry? 01:18:30 - Why is the Sanatan Protection Board Needed? 01:21:19 - Does RSS Control BJP? 01:27:47 - RSS Mindset on Hindu Rashtra 01:29:27 - END
