The Sangh Parivar has many heroes. Not the Superman or Batman types trying to right wrongs, but the evil Cockroach-man types. The RSS-BJP’s admiration for Hitler is no secret.

It’s something they just can’t bury and hide because MS Golwalkar, former leader of the RSS, has sung his praises in several books like “A Bunch of Thoughts”and ‘We, or our defined nation’. He applauded the way Hitler treated the Jews, and said that is exactly how minorities in India should be treated. Ugh.

Of course, the RSS-BJP does not speak openly about its love for the Nazis on the international stage, because the world may look askance and refuse to embrace the Diyar leader. Or rather, pretend to look askance because today’s world leaders are a bunch of hypocrites who will gladly ignore genocide if your nation is important to their geopolitical strategy or their marketing plans or whatever!

Do you really suppose that Israel was blissfully unaware that when our leader Diyar was just a mere chief minister of a state, Gujarat’s social studies textbooks had glowing chapters on “Hitler the Supreme” and “The internal achievements of Nazism”?

This has been reported in India since 2004, but my God, the Israeli secret service who knows everything is not aware of these feelings? Yet former Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu hugged leader Diyar to his bosom, frolicked on a beach with him in 2017 and allegedly sold him the power to spy on all his dissidents and political rivals with the Pegasus spyware.

Purushottam Nagesh Oak is another of the RSS-BJP heroes. He served in Subhas Bose’s Indian National Army Propaganda Section during World War II – and we know how propaganda activates the RSS-BJP, don’t we?

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the Fake News WhatsApp University they created after they came to power in 2014 is called “Shree PN Oak WhatsApp Vishvavidyalay”.

Oak was never captured by the British, but I strongly suspect he suffered a serious head injury during the war because he spent the rest of his life rewriting history (another special trick RSS-BJP).

The Sangh Parivar purred like cats served rat chops as Oak expounded his crackpot theories in which smart Indians created everything in the world (he’s just like that annoying character on the British Asian sitcom “Goodness Gracious Me”).

Here are some of his theories: Both Christianity and Islam are derivatives of Hinduism. The papacy was originally a Vedic priesthood. The Vatican was really Vatika (hermitage), Christianity was originally called Krishna-niti (the way of Krishna), Abraham is an aberration of Brahma, etc. Yes yes, Jai Hindutva, and all that!

What must have warmed Sanghi hearts the most is this, however: According to Oak, Vatican City, the Kaaba, Westminster Abbey and the Taj Mahal were once Hindu temples dedicated to Shiva.

Although I can’t see these cowards screaming about tearing down the Vatican, Westminster Abbey and the Kaaba (well, not until their Akhand Bharat fantasies come true anyway, ha ha), they go ahead with the crazy theory about the Taj Mahal, or rather, Tejo Mahalaya as Oak calls it.

Just as the RSS-BJP likes to snoop around our fridges to see what we eat and if they can lynch us or arrest us for our meals, they want to peek into 22 rooms of the Taj Mahal (sealed since the Shah Jahan era) to see if they contain statues of Shiva and other relics of Hinduism.

Hindutva petitioners continue to go to court, the tired court continues to pack them. So now a BJP MP, Diya Kumari, has participated. She said the land on which the Taj Mahal was built originally belonged to the ruler of Jaipur, Jai Singh, and was acquired by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan.

And so? Does this mean that the house I built on land I bought from someone still belongs to the original owner? Is everyone in the BJP childish and not quite there?

I say this with deep regret. For centuries the Taj Mahal has been celebrated as the monument of love, but in just under eight years the BJP is turning it into a monument of hate.

Enough of this nonsense. Besides, “Wah Tejo” doesn’t quite sound the same as “Wah Taj! Honestly, “Bah Tejo” is more like that.
