RSS leader H V Seshadri is dead and this is what I found on him:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->When in the 1980s the historian Sita Ram Goel filled a weekly column in Organiser with mustering evidence for his position that fundamen­talist intolerance is the essence of Islam itself rather than a deviation, RSS General Secretary H.V. Seshadri intervened to have the column discon­tinued and the editor, the arch-moderate K.R. Malkani, sacked.

If RSS has any seriousness about solving the Islamism problem then maybe they should start reading and circulating voi.org books instead of mindlessly supressing criticism against Islam. The following words by Elst sums up the situation today:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->It is hard to conceive of a situation where a society is vexed and tortured by a persistent enemy, then generates a millions-strong organization pledged to the defence of this society, and yet this organization, this boastful "vanguard", fails to produce even the most sketchy analysis of the motives and methods of this enemy.  Only Hindus could fare this badly.  Fifty years after the Partition, twenty-six years after the East Bengal genocide, there are still Hindus singing mendacious refrains like Ram Rahim Ek Hai and "equal truth of all religions", because their supposed leaders have never bothered to inform them.  A large part of the reason is to be found in specific choices made by the Sangh leadership, most of all the choice to seek secular respectability by means of appeasement policies including flattery of Mohammed and Islam.
