The RSS is a Hindu group that rivals the Taliban in fanaticism and holds significant power in the BJP. It is as frightening as the Islamic radicals. Not only because of their own numbers, but because they incite the worst of the Muslims.

Indeed, the recent India-Pakistan flareups are largely due to the desire of the government to externalize what is largely an internal problem. Dealing with it internally would mean sitting on the RSS.

I don't care much for Hindu extremists, although at least they aren't flying airplanes into American buildings. They are a threat, though, to democracy in India and so we have a reason to be concerned.

Being rabidly anti-muslim gives them some political cover for now, but it's definitely something to keep an eye on.

As I understand it, it was a member of the RSS that killed Gandhi. (apparently Gandhi was insufficiently Hindu)
