Sudershan criticised the Gurjjars for resorting to violence and bringing normal life to a halt in order to get ST status. Without calling the demand improper, he said: “The Gurjjars have actually ruled many empires in historical times and have protected the country from invasions from across the borders.”

While the RSS never had love lost for Nehru, Sudershan gave this too a twist by accusing the former prime minister of ensuring that Nepal and Tibet were kept out of the Indian Republic, though they wanted to join it. According to him, Nehru worried that the world would say India had become an expansionist immediately after gaining Independence.

Turning his ire on human rights activists who moved the Supreme Court against the Salwa Judum movement in Chhattisgarh, Sudershan said: “They are not manavadhikar (human rights) activists, they are danavadhikar (demon rights) activists. They want the movement to be stopped because their men (Maoists), who are like demons, are dying,” he said.
