Twenty-first century eugenics: RSS wing has prescription for fair, tall ‘customised’ babies
NB: Our home-grown Nazi's are coming out of the closet in full glory. They do not display any sense of irony or knowledge of history while citing German approval for their racist ideals. Here is Adolf Hitler on 'racial science': What we must fight for is to safeguard the
existence and reproduction of our race and our people, the sustenance of our
children and the purity of our blood, the freedom and independence of the
fatherland, so that our people may mature for the fulfilment of the mission
allotted it by the creator of the universe - Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf (Boston: 1971), 71.

And here is the RSS leader Golwalkar in We, or Our Nationhood Defined, (Nagpur, 1939, p 37):
German national pride has
now become the topic of the day. To keep up the purity of the nation and its
culture, Germany shocked the world by her purging the country of the semitic
races – the Jews. National pride at its highest has been manifested here.
Germany has also shown how well-nigh impossible it is for races and cultures,
having differences… to be assimilated into one united whole, a good lesson for
us in Hindustan to learn and profit by.. Read more about the Sangh's Italian cum Nazi connection here. The BJP/RSS flaunt themselves as Israels best friends in the sub-continent. Thoughtful Israelis could reflect on the fact that these 'friends' are ardent admirers of Nazism: DS
THREE MONTHS of
“shuddhikaran (purification)” for parents, intercourse at a time decided by
planetary configurations, complete abstinence after the baby is conceived, and
procedural and dietary regulations. According to the Garbh
Vigyan Sanskar project of the RSS’s health wing Arogya Bharati, this is what is
needed for a woman to deliver an uttam santati - a perfect “customised
child”.
Are Indians racist? Notes on Ideology
Speaking to The Sunday Express, top office-bearers associated with this ambitious programme said it was launched in Gujarat over a decade ago, and taken up at the national level in 2015. Today, the project, assisted by the Sangh’s education wing Vidya Bharati, has around 10 branches in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, with more units to come up soon in Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. “Our main objective is to make a samarth Bharat (strong India) through uttam santati. Our target is to have thousands of such babies by 2020,” said Dr Karishma Mohandas Narwani, national convener of the project. According to the office-bearers, the project was inspired by Germany, which they claimed had “resurrected itself by having such signature children through Ayurvedic practices within two decades after World War II”. “

The parents may have
lower IQ, with a poor educational background, but their baby can be extremely
bright. If the proper procedure is followed, babies of dark-skinned parents
with lesser height can have fair complexion and grow taller,” said Dr Hitesh
Jani, national convener, Arogya Bharati.
Jani, a veteran RSS
swayamsevak who also heads the panchkarma department at Gujarat Ayurved
University in Jamnagar, said the procedure to get an “uttam santati or a
customised child is mentioned in the (Hindu) shastras”. The project claims to
have ensured the delivery of 450 “customised babies” so far, and its target is
to have a Garbh Vigyan Anusandhan Kendra, a facilitation centre, in every state
by 2020.
According to Narwani,
Arogya Bharati has held several seminars and counselling sessions on Garbh Vigyan
Sanskar in Delhi and Mumbai, and smaller cities such as Udupi in Karnataka,
Kasaragod in Kerala, and Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh. The next counselling
sessions were scheduled to be held in Kolkata over the weekend, followed by
Rohtak and Gurgaon in Haryana, she said. Narwani claimed that
the project “is not an intervention in the natural process” but based on the
principles of Ayurveda.
“Ayurveda has all the
details about how we can get the desired physical and mental qualities of babies.
IQ is developed during the sixth month of pregnancy. If the mother undergoes
specific procedures, like what to eat, listen and read, the desired IQ can be
achieved. Thus, we can get a desired, customised baby,” she said. The office-bearers
claimed that this procedure “repairs genes” by ensuring that genetic defects
are not passed on to babies.
Dr Ashok Kumar
Varshney, an RSS pracharak for over 30 years and national organising secretary
of Arogya Bharati, said that apart from the university in Jamnagar, two other
institutions have incorporated Garbh Vigyan Sanskar in their curriculum:
Children’s University in Gandhinagar and Atal Bihari Vajpayee Hindi
University in Bhopal. Varshney said the
project was inspired by the advice a senior RSS ideologue received over 40
years ago in Germany.
“He was told that it
was due to a woman called ‘Mother of Germany’. When he met her and asked about
this resurrection, she told him, ‘you have come from India, have you not heard
of Abhimanyu (the son of Arjuna in the epic Mahabharata)?’ She told him that
the new generation in Germany was born through Garbh Sanskar and that is why
the country is so developed,” said Varshney.
In the Mahabharata,
Abhimanyu is described as having learnt the art of breaking the “chakravyuh” (a
circular trap) inside the womb of his mother as his father narrated the method. “The shastras
prescribe a specific time to have intercourse for pregnancy. Doctors tell
couples when they should become intimate on the basis of their horoscope and
planetary configurations… Once the baby is conceived, you cannot have intimacy.
It is suicidal for the mother and the baby,” claimed Varshney.
Narwani and Jani hold
Bachelor’s degrees in ayurveda, medicine and surgery, and Varshney obtained a
PhD in biochemistry from Allahabad University in 1986. According to Jani, the
project is conducted in two parts - before and after pregnancy. “The first part
involves ‘nadi shuddhi’ (purification of energy channels) and ‘deh shuddhi’
(purification of body) for 90 days. During this period, we purify the male’s
sperm and the female’s egg. The new egg and sperm thus developed will not have
genetic defects,” he claimed. After the baby is
conceived, he said, stress is placed on “proper food” for the mother during
pregnancy.
“Calcium is required
in the third month when bones develop; therefore, she should take milk and
related products. Brain is developed in the fifth month, hence ghee is
required. When eyes develop during the sixth or seventh month, she needs
vitamin A,” Varshney said. But that’s not all.
“If the mother chants shlokas and mantras, it helps in the mental growth of the
baby… if she leads such a life, there will be no labour pain and the baby will
gain up to 300g more weight.”
