The video begins with a frame showing patel, with the text overlay "The government," emphasizing his role and authority. Patel's comments, as depicted in the video, reflect his deep concerns about the RSS's activities, particularly in the context of maintaining national unity and stability. He is quoted as saying, "No government can tolerate this," referring to the RSS's alleged role in exacerbating communal tensions and posing a threat to the newly formed indian state.
One of the key moments highlighted in the video is Patel's decision to ban the RSS in 1948. This drastic measure was a response to the organization's suspected involvement in the assassination of mahatma gandhi, a tragedy that shook the nation. Patel's letters, as documented in "The Collected Works of Sardar Vallabhbhai patel," edited by P.N. Chopra, reveal his frustration with the RSS, describing their activities as a "clear threat to the existence of the government and the state."
The post's caption notes, "This is what Sardar Vallabhbhai patel thought about the RSS. Sardar patel also banned the RSS in 1948. I am sure 99.99% of indians have not watched this. watch and share." This statement underscores a perceived lack of awareness among the general public about this chapter of indian history, suggesting that the video serves as an important educational tool.
The video includes various historical images and newspaper clippings, such as headlines from "Achieves the Unity," to provide context to Patel's concerns about communal harmony and the RSS's influence. It also touches on the broader socio-political environment of the time, including the challenges of partition and the need for a secular governance model.
Responses to the post have been mixed, with some users applauding the effort to revisit this historical narrative, while others question the relevance of past events to current political discourse. One user commented, "Balanced statement....no hype..no drama...apt ... Burnol moment for sanghis...." indicating a polarized reaction typical of discussions involving the RSS.
