How different are the various branches of sangh parivar -RSS, BJP, VHP, Bajrang Dal and so on - from each other?
Some say very - these are independent organisations, each with own agenda and organisation. Some say they are all the same - brothers in arms working for the same Hindutva cause.
P Sainath, journalist and critic of sangh parivaar, shared an interesting perspective on this in JNU last week.
BJP is RSS on politics, ABVP is RSS on steroids, Bajrang Dal is ABVP on crack, he said.
Sainath was in JNU to express solidarity with the students, who have been accused of raising anti-national slogans. He had been invited to speak earlier at Hyderabad University following Dalit student Rohith Vemula's suicide.
