... There is the unfairness of allowing the RSS the privilege of enrolling state employees but denying this to equally politico-cultural bodies such as the Majlis-e-Mushawarat. It is not the state's right to decide which organisation is kosher and which is not by applying patently subjective norms of ethical cleansing ... It is incumbent upon the Prime Minister to ask Gujarat and the other states to backtrack.

... Indoctrination poses an even greater danger; it ac t merely slackens administration but absolutely strangulates it ... In a time when there is talk of rolling back the state, of making officialdom more responsive and efficient, to give employees such an umbrella is illogical. What if bureaucrats organise themselves under the banner of, say, the RSS and seek to elevate rampant trade unionism to a moral principle?
