all right hello and welcome to colonial outcast the anti-imperials podcast that both your maga

and or hindutfa uncle would absolutely hate turns out you can be both a hindu nationalist

yearning for the establishment of the hindu rastra and a white supremacists who loved trumps

at the same time.

And you might be like, what? But yeah, it's a whole thing. Just Google RSS, India, and enjoy that

insane rabbit hole. We're actually going to touch on the RSS, which is founded as a Hindu nationalist

paramilitary organization whose founder intensely admired the Nazis and other

fascist movements in Europe in the 1930s because the ruling party in India is called the BJP,

the Baharatia Janata Party, which was the political wing of the RSS that came into power in the 1990s. And here we are with the Modi government,

Narendra Modi is the prime minister of India, admiring Israel, calling for a replication of Gaza and

Pakistan. And it only makes, it almost makes too much sense that the two countries are

ideologically aligned because they have their roots

and similar ideologies that came out of the 1930s and before. So anytime you see fascist

militancy, also look for Israeli arms sales. Anyways, I'm your host, Greg Stoker, joined by

co-host, Mark Wayne and special guest Tom K Kanat Mansour, fellow activist, political commentator,

coming to us from Lahore, Pakistan. Thanks so much for coming on while Indian drones are

getting shot down by Pakistani air defense systems. Yeah, thank you for having me. It was very eventful day for us in Pakistan here. Yeah, I'm sure.

I'm sure. I guess that's where most of the strikes are happening and the information on the ground is very confused. So you were just saying you had to trust your governments, I guess, at some point.

Yeah, I mean, you need to have one source of information, which you can at least rely on to some extent. And when it comes to, if I'll be given a choice between the Gaudy media, the Indian

media or my government, I think I'll choose

my government like 100%. Well, you know, one government's messaging is being far less insane

and jingoistic than another. And of course, that's coming from the fascist Modi government.
