What is to be regretted is not just Partition but the long-term British colonial policies which led to a situation where a people who had lived together for centuries got divided politically on the basis of their religion.
The tide of communalism that was threatening to submerge the nation was pushed back with a Herculean effort on the part of India’s national leadership. For almost a decade, communal forces remained on the back-foot. They made a poor showing even in the 1957 elections.
The facts are as follows: The RSS was set up in 1925 by K.B. Hedgewar. In the entire period from 1925 till 1947, it did not participate in any campaign or movement launched by the Congress or any other party or group. Nor did it initiate any movement against the British by itself.
