What are your main points of disagreement with the RSS?

What will be your next step?
Our intellectuals will make the younger generation aware of its history,tradition and the principles of gurubani.

But there are so many Sikhs in the RSS front Rashtriya Sikh Sangat?
I ask the RSS why don't they float a Rashtriya Muslim Sangat or a RashtriyaBuddhist or Jain Sangat. Why do they only need the Rashtriya Sikh Sangat?Anyway, we don't consider them (members of the Sangat) Sikhs. Anybody with abeard and a turban can't be called a Sikh.

Can you issue a hukumnama against those with the Sikh Sangat?
Rashtriya Sikh Sangat wale bahurupiye hain (they are impostors). What actiondo you take against those who masquerade?

But in certain areas the RSS works closely with Buddhist and Jainorganisations as well...
In its outlook the RSS is like Aurangzeb. The latter wanted to convert everyoneto Islam, either by sword or otherwise. Similarly, the RSS also wants to converteverybody to Hinduism. Its ideology is dangerous not only for the Sikhs but forall other religions. If Muslims decide to demolish temples and gurudwaras, theway the RSS demolished the Babri Masjid, it will hurt. Places of worship have tobe honoured, be it a temple, a gurudwara or a mosque. But the RSS always raisesdivisive issues like reciting the Guru Granth Sahib near idols, something thatSikhism prohibits.

You have a Hindu name, 'Vedanti', one who knows the Vedas.
(Laughs) I dropped my last name the day I became the Akal Takht's jathedar.
