Sir:
We protest statements by Ms. Sunitha Williams attributing her sucessful NASA space flight experience to her family's membership of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
The RSS is the militant paramilitary branch of the radically intolerant Hindu organization, the Hindu Maha Sabha (HMS). The HMS was banned in India after one of its members, Nathuram Godse, assassinated Mahmatma Gandhi in 1948. The RSS, of which Sunitha Williams is a proud member, is an anti-Muslim and ant-Christian organization responsible for the persecution, attacks and killings of Muslims and Christians in India.
The RSS is the equivalent of the American KU KLUX KLAN in India. Their goal is a pure Hindu India (similar to a pure White America here by the KKK) by converting, killing or expelling Muslims and Christians. A recent public statement by the RSSÂ declared that the more than 200 million Muslims and Christians of India must either convert to Hinduism, or be expelled (no indication where), or live as second class subordinate citizens acknowledging the supremacy of Hinduism, in a Hindu India to be renamed "Hindutva."
The Archeological Survey of India debunked Sunitha Williams claim, and that of other Hindu fanatics, that there exists a supposedly 5 millennia-old bridge that the mythological god Ram crossed from India into Sri Lanka to rescue his wife Sita kidnapped by an evil monkey god, Ravana.
The "Ram Sethu" (Ram bridge) that Hindu fanatics and Sunitha Williams claim exist, is a mythical bridge in the imagination of the Hindu faithful. It does not exist.. Yet Sunitha Williams told Hindu audiences in India that "I took pictures of the bridge between India and Sri Lanka from the space station".
Please censure and discipline her and state categorically that NASA does not support her Hindu propaganda and that she does not speak on behalf of NASA.
It is an outrage that you sent this member of the Hindu fanatical right wing RSS family into space so that she could make propaganda on behalf of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, a group that is anti secular India and calls for a Hindu state. The RSS has threatened the life of Sonia Gandhi (the Italian Catholic widow of Rajiv Gandhi who was assassinated by a Tamil Hindu fanatic). After led her Congress party to a resounding win at the last Indian national elections, she was forced into hiding rather than become the duly deserved Prime Minister of India. Sunitha Williams and her family belong to this Hindu extremist group.
