Why did the RSS side with the British during the Quit India Movement?

Yet again.

Without Kaiser Wilhelm II and Adolf Hitler, I'm very skeptical the farcical “freedom” movements anywhere would've succeeded. Moderners go around with weird ideas about the pre-Cold War world, and seventy years of propaganda by NCERT mean that the average Indian is more ignorant about the nature of the and Society in general than their great grandparents.

The so-called Congress, by 1947, had successfully wiped out all possible non-communist, non-Islamic homegrown political opposition to it, back then chiefly represented by the likes of Savarkar and Bose. Essentially, it was a mass of warring personality cults bearing lip service to the Head-Cult of Mohandas Gandhi, and subsequently to those of Nehru and Patel.

Post independence, this mass of personality cults split into multiple factions- chief among them being a Centre-Right party calling it “Swatantra Party” and the Centre-Left loyalists under the Nehru-Gandhi family.

Questions over the ideology- or lack thereof- of the Congress led to yet another spilt with the more cultish members under Congress (Indira) separating from the original Congress which merged with the Janata Party- which, after several avatars- many of which involved RSS support- would result in the current Bharatiya Janata Party.

Thus, we have four observations.

1- The so-called Indian Freedom Struggle was a farce which would've gone nowhere without Kaiser Wilhelm II and Adolf Hitler knocking off most of the British upper class and professional soldiery, and the Americans and Soviets taking the opportunity to dismantle the old European Empires.

2- The largest surviving ideological political descendant of the Congress Party that organised the Quit India Movement is the BJP, the political wing of RSS.

3- When an enemy with a record of eating PoWs comes to your borders, it's preferable not to sit around banding words with people whose response to sectarian conflict is to tell Hindu women to lie quietly and not disturb their would-be rapists.

Furthermore- and this might be a shock to kids drunk on NCERT who go around parroting the likes of Kapil Sibal- lots of well-educated people back then loathed the Congress and their entire cohort of leaders. While they destested the British, the entire Congress plank of mindless “ahimsa”, luddite insanity, quasi-authoritarian cultism, the sheer BS in the post-Tilak “movements”, and disdain for Hindu rights was simply too disturbing. A cursory glance at the affairs of the Princely States or other Institutions of the time would reveal this.

However people get the government that befits their intelligence and Indians got Nehru and Indira and Sanjay and Rajiv and Sonia and now we have Pappu and Priyanka. If there ever was a better time for a Quit India Movement redux, I don't know it.
