RSS

Historian Stanley Payne in the 1990s claimed that a prominent and Hindu nationalist militant movement Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) holds strong resemblances to fascism - including its use of paramilitaries and its irredentist claims - calling for the creation of a Greater India.[1]. Cyprian Blamires in World Fascism: A Historical Encyclopedia describes the ideology of the RSS as "fascism with 'Sanskrit characters'" - a unique Indian variant of fascism.[2] Blamires notes that there is evidence that the RSS held direct contact with Italy's Fascist regime and admired European fascism.[2] a view with some support from A. James Gregor[3] However these views have met wide criticism[4][3][5]; especially from academics specializing Indian politics. Paul Brass, expert on Hindu-Muslim violence, notes that there are many problems with accepting this point of view, and identified four reasons that it is difficult to define the Sangh as fascist. Firstly most scholars of the field do not subscribe to the view the RSS is fascist, notably among them Christophe Jaffrelot[4], A. James Gregor[3], and Chetan Bhatt[6]. The other reasons include an absence of charismatic leadership, a desire on the part of the RSS to differentiate itself from European fascism, major cultural differences between the RSS and European fascists, and factionalism within the Sangh Parivar[4]. Stanley Payne claims that it also has substantial differences from fascism such as its emphasis on traditional religion as the basis of identity.[7]
