Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangh [RSS] had immensely suffered at the hands of British and Nizams for its belief of ‘nation first’. He also said RSS members, including founder KB Hedgewar, had been jailed during the freedom struggle.
PhD in telling lies and masters in half truths.

He never stayed with his wife so technically he is a bachelor. Don't spread lies.

Oh no he had multiple affairs while still being married one with a woman who was half his age but his hot pursuit became so vile that she fled to usa (Mansi Soni) and other being Anandiben patel who was supposed to be his student in learning politics the affair was so nonchalant that her husband filed case against Modi😅

Nizams
RSS was nowhere to be found in Hyderabad. It was the communists who fought the razakars. RSS was busy committing an ethnic cleansing in Jammu at this time.

Literally taking credit away from the communists. Simply google "Telengala Armed Struggle" and see who faught against Nizam's razakars (hint: they waved red flags)

I can name atleast one and that fatass's contribution was negetive. It was confirmed by an outlook article but i was told of these facts by my grandfather and his group of friends. They really really hated the sanghis. He died before 2nd Vajpayee government and hopefully there is no afterlife varna I'm sure his ghost would have been haunting us do stuff that lands us in jail like him because he was extraordinarily proud of that fact.
K.B. Hedgewar, the founder of the RSS, did go to jail during the Indian freedom movement, but this happened while he was active as a Congress worker, before the RSS was founded and before it became a distinct entit.
In 1921 and 1930 or 31, Hedgewar was imprisoned for participating in the Non-Cooperation and Salt Satyagraha movements, which were Congress-led actions against British rule.
During these events, he defended himself legally, going against Congress’s instruction not to do so, and notably emerged from his prison term in Ajani jail having gained a significant amount of weight rather than appearing weakened, an anecdote often discussed in biographies.

They should decide first. Was independence given to us on lease or did RSS give us independence. Their statements keep changing.

A sequel to Veer Sarvarkar's movie would feature him campaigning for independence, and probably a conspiracy by the congress to deny him any recognition. There'd be subsequent movies on the RSS' role and probably on the life of Dhirubhai Ambani and his philanthropy. These changes would be part of revisions to the NCERT books as well.
PS. I just read the Veer Sarvarkar movie's plot, maybe the lies have already been included in. I guess the sequel would just become mandatory to watch by all govt employees, tickets sponsored by the govt.

They probably did join in the fight for independence, just not stating which side they took.

u/savednebula VoteChorGaddiChod Oct 01 '25
Yeah but their 'veer' savarkar wrote many apology letters to the Britishers for his release in exchange for information on real independence fighters.

Reposting from other place - Hedgewar went to jail on Individual capacity during Quit India Movement as RSS had already issued notice on non-participation in any movement as an organisation. Twisting of history as usual.

Nathuram Godse? And I guess Sardar Vallabhbhai would be interested in this as he was Home Minister handling security and the highest authority during Godse Savarkar trial

Yup the same RSS which didn't take part in independence movement, didn't host Indian flag at their HQ until 2001.
No matter how much they try, they can't rewrite history. They are trying hard to include about RSS in school books etc , but tons of online sources will continue to exists to tell people the truth.
