Children all over India are taught the virtues of democracy and the dangers of fascism and Nazism -- except those in Gujarat ... The textbooks are silent on the violent treatment of minorities and ethnic cleansing ...

Hitler is described as a nationalist who lent dignity and prestige to the German government. The holocaust is described merely as opposition to the Jewish people. The RSS has always admired Hitler so much so that their ideologue Golwalkar advocated copying Hitler's policy towards Jews in India with reference to non-Hindus to create a strong Hindu "rashtra". It is not surprising then that an opportunity has been grasped to influence textbooks. The Sangh Parivar has defined fascism as an ideology to be admired and emulated.

... Apart from the redefinition of fascism, Nazism and secularism, the RSS aims to wipe out the negative image of the Sangh, particularly its non-cooperation in the freedom struggle and Nathuram Godse's links with their organisation. These are the two millstones around its neck that the RSS would like to shed. Another change is to deny the role of Mughal rule in the evolution of the country.

Muslim rulers are referred to as temple-razing barbarians ... Rajput rulers are glorified as patriots and their treachery ignored ... The RSS want to brainwash children. If this dangerous trend is not checked quickly and reversed, the next generation may consider Hitler a freedom fighter and the Mahatma, a coward.
