Fact Check
During the investigation, DFRAC found that the claim was false. We examined the book thoroughly and found that no such statement has been mentioned in this book.
Furthermore, we also found a media report from ‘TOI’ published on 19 Sep, 2018 stating that RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat invalidating some parts from Golwalkar’s Bunch of Thoughts. Clarifying about reservation, he said: “We support reservation as the Constitution of India provides for it. Reservation should stay till those communities who get the benefits of reservation themselves decide they no longer need it. Reservation is meant to correct the inequalities that crept into our society over the last few centuries”. When he further asked about the parliament overriding the SC verdict on SC/ST Act, he cited: ‘One cannot deny that victimization exists in our society. Laws to secure people against victimization should be made and implemented properly. But we must also ensure that laws are not exploited and misused- something which is, unfortunately, happening today”.
Conclusion
It is evident from the DFRAC’s fact check that the statement was not found in the book. Therefore, the claim of social media users is Fake.
