The Sangh Parivar is not concerned with the nation or patriotism. Their goal is to eliminate dissent, questioning, and diverse opinions from society. They do not want people to read, discuss, or engage in dialogue. Their journey is towards preventing education itself.
The Sangh Parivar is making every effort to expand its influence in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, dividing society to further its agenda and seize power in the next elections.
Following the ideology of their theorist Golwalkar, they are in search of excuses to attack their perceived enemies — Muslims, Christians, and Communists.
They are constantly on the lookout for opportunities to incite hatred against these communities. Even in the absence of genuine reasons, they create false narratives, propagate them, and provoke their cadre into aggression.
Given the proliferation and widespread influence of social media, the Sangh Parivar has established IT cells in its offices across both Telugu states, hiring dozens of employees to spread falsehoods and to troll its opponents on social media. They fuel hatred against those with differing opinions and incite physical attacks.
While these activities have been ongoing across the country and in the Telugu states for a long time, they have intensified in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh over the past two to three years, especially during elections.
