Hitech Hindutva, RSS style: Deccan Chronicle
New Delhi, Oct 12: Things change with time, even if it is a ultra-right wing outfit like RSS, established to promote Hinduism.
New Delhi, Oct 12: Things change with time, even if it is a ultra-right wing outfit like RSS, established to promote Hinduism.
In this cyber-era, the RSS boasts of an official website, with links, providing all possible cyber-entertainments, ranging from chat to card games, including Poker, Black Jack and In Between.
Of course if you are below 18 years of age, you cannot log on to the particular games and the chat parlours.
Sangh.com, “An infromal Community of Hindu Activists,” sells “Hindu Themed Merchandise” starting from beer mugs, stickers, wall clocks, lunch boxes to postcards, priced between $ 2.99 to $ 15.99. Along with Hindu-themed greeting cards, the RSS website provides you with animated digicards like ‘Dotdude dropping by’, ‘Oops made a mistake’ ! and ‘We need to relax.’
Of course officially the RSS website still believes that kabbadi is the game the government needs to promote with its opinion poll giving 71 per cent of votes to this swadeshi game, followed by hockey with 23 per cent and cricket finishing a poor third with only seven per cent.
The chat room at Hindunet.com, is like any other, except for entries saying Hari-Om and Jai Shri Ram. In this particular room, one could strike friendship with the opposite sex and also exchange personal views.
Members, however, like all other chat-rooms prefer to use pseudonym. If “Amazon” is a 30-year-old female from Malaysia, “Sandyb” is a 40-year-old male from India, who indulges in some intimate talks. At the same time the quiz section has questions about Indian epic, Ramayana.
In the games parlour, one could gamble with Poker, Black Jack and In Between. The “Players credit,” and the “amount bet” are displayed on the screen at this Hindu-net’s games-parlour.
