Gregory Stanton, founder of Genocide Watch, and developer of the 10 Stages of Genocide, reminded the audience that Modi’s “political base is the base that is held by the RSS… ”, and that the RSS is “filled with hate ever since it was founded, it is basically a Nazi organization, and in fact admired Hitler”.
