C Sadanandan Master: A symbol of steadfastness

Once a victim of brutal political violence that left him permanently disabled, C Sadanandan Master has now been nominated to the Rajya Sabha — a moment that marks not just personal triumph, but a tribute to resilience

I was watching and reading the criticism of the nomination of C Sadanandan Master as the Rajya Sabha MP. The snooty critics tried to cover up their hate with remarks like, what has he achieved in life? Is he a prominent personality to be nominated? It is a political nomination etc. These lame excuses, basically, were a cover for their hate for a humble RSS Swayamsevak who refused to crumble despite many attempts on his life and brutal hacking of his legs. He is a thorn in the flesh of both Communists and Islamists as he represents the undying flame of patriotism and Hindutva that keeps rising in brilliance despite attempts by the left-secular ecosystem to finish off RSS since its arrival in Kerala in 1942.

Political Nominations Between 1962-2013

Before I expose the fascist designs of Left-Secular or Communist-Jihadi ecosystem, let me respond to the poor excuse of political nomination. I had to just check the list of ‘eminent’ personalities chosen for nominated seats to trash their argument. I only looked for purely political appointees from 1962 to 2013 and found that atleast 14 purely political nobodies, ok somebodies, got nominated under Congress and supported dispensation.

List begins with Gopal Singh (described cryptically as an Indian politician) in 1962 and ends with the venerable Mani Iyer (a Congress party nominee). There are other interesting names like Ms Shobhana Bhartia – owner of Hindustan Times media group, a Birla offspring and Prakash Ambedkar – a failed politician whose only claim to fame is that he is Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar’s son. Most of the nominated (I can say all, but I would not) were Congress members or their allies. They were not given seats from Congress voting quota, but were brought in via Presidential nomination. The list also includes state level or municipal corporation level politicians. So, it addresses their snooty remarks.

About C Sadanandan Master

Now let us come back to the question, “Who is C Sadanandan Master?”. He is a simple RSS karyakarta, now in BJP, who was attacked mercilessly with bombs, his car was vandalised, and he escaped by the skin of his teeth. Finally, he was cornered one day and both his legs were hacked. They were thrown away so he would not be able to get them stitched back even if he tried. But neither his family, nor he himself break. Because his organisation, the RSS, stood firmly with him and his family. His optimism and deep faith in his ideals kept him alive and he came out smiling, with artificial legs. It pains tremendously when you walk and stand for long. It is not an easy life, but did C Sadanandan Master play victim and sit at home? No, he began to work again.

Who is T J Joseph?

C Sadanandan Master is no T J Joseph, the unfortunate college teacher, whose both hands were chopped off for putting up a question in the examination from an authorised book of the university. While attackers of Sadanand were Communists, those of Joseph were Jihadis. So, the entire secular and progressive left brigade went silent. No one came to help him. He was suspended, and later removed from the service for his ‘grave offence’ of provoking the peaceful community. He ran from pillar to post, his wife committed suicide at the age of only 48 years as she could not fight anymore, could not face the society that avoided her and her husband. Brave Joseph came out of trauma on his own. Political system failed him. I do not know who helped him recover. But, his life was devastated. The secular ecosystem threw him under the bus.

Selective Outrage of Media

Even media treated both the incidents differently. C Sadanandan Master’s hacking never made it to national media, but T J Joseph’s hacking did. Definitely, he deserved the sympathy and coverage. But did the master not deserve it? Had he attacked anyone? Did he call for violence? But, strange is the way of our media.

From Communism To Patriotism

C Sadanandan Master was attacked with attempts to kill because he had moved from Communist party to RSS, the Hindu organisation, working among poor for social harmony and progress. In Kerala, due to focused efforts of veteran pracharak K Bhaskar, Sangh work spread to economically and socially backward and deprived sections of the society. Bhaskar Kalambi was actually a Marathi from Mumbai, who chose to be called K Bhaskar to be one among them. He devoted his entire life to RSS and later Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram. He wrote and spoke in Malayalam, English, Marathi and Hindi.The flow of Communist cadre into RSS had begun much earlier, but it became a worrying issue for Communists as the flow became a steady stream during and after Emergency, when the youth disillusioned by Communist stand on Emergency, joined underground RSS movement. The threatened Communists chose to retaliate in the only language they knew—Violence, killings. An estimated 120 plus Swayamsevaks have died since 1969, when the Vadikkal Ramakrishnan was murdered. The first accused in this case was P Vijayan, the now CM of Kerala. Police in Kerala has unions even in police stations. The investigation was shoddy, perhaps due to political pressure, and he—P Vijayan was proven ‘not guilty’. Since then, it has been multiple rounds of violence, falling silent once in a while.

The Communist-Islamist Nexus

The attacks had begun in 1948 when Sri Guruji had visited Kerala for the first time, and in 1952, when he visited again. Now Jihadis too have joined in to somehow finish RSS. It is true that RSS defended Swayamsevaks wherever they could. For the deprived sections of the society, revenge is a common tendency, and, most of the attacked were from the erstwhile comrades of the same party who had lived under the shadow of violence for years. Difference is, Communists would generally go scot-free due to friendly law and order machinery, while Swayamsevaks suffered heavy punishments in jail. I cannot forget the incident of 5 ABVP members, students of a college were chased with stones, they jumped into a river. They were stoned, allegedly by SFI goons, so they could not come out of the river. They drowned and died. This is the harsh reality of Kerala, God’s own country.

Message To Hindu Haters

Contrary to common accusation of ultra-Hindutva groupies, RSS supports the Swayamsevaks and their families and are close to them. This is their strength – unconditional love for the nation, Hindu dharma and brotherly affection between families.Hence, despite all this oppression and violence, RSS has shakhas in every village of Kerala. It has maximum density of shakhas per lakh of population as compared to any other state in Bharat. And this is what rankles Left-Jihadi forces. For them, C Sadanandan Master represents this undying defiant spirit of Hindutva. Hence, he must be opposed, always. If it were any other Swayamsevak, the reaction would have been the same. Dear Comrades and Hindu hating seculars, I pity your heartburn. But Kerala too shall turn the tide. C Sadanandan Master heralds that spirit.
