Did you know that Madan Mohan Malaviya, founder of BHU and four time INC President, also founded the Hindu Mahasabha. This casteist Bharat Ratna recipient was editor of the Hindustan Times for many decades. While the Congress was running the Quit India and other movements, the Mahasabha was indifferent to them. It aligned instead with the ideology of Moonje and Savarkar and contested elections in alliance with the Muslim League.
Consider this. In the 1920s and 30s, Malaviya was simultaneously (a) president of the INC fighting the British, (b) involved with the Hindu Mahasabha in promoting caste superiority and religious hatred while appeasing the British, and (c) editor of the Hindustan Times reporting on all of this.
( Meanwhile the cofounder of the Hindu Mahasabha, Annie Besant, was indulging in "Occult Chemistry". She used clairvoyance to look inside atoms and describe their structures. Really puts the current generation of hippies to shame. )
