Claims that RSS testified against Bhagat Singh and Golwalkar targeted lower-caste women?

Golwalkar is entirely fabricated. A street interview claims the RSS testified against Bhagat Singh, trampled the national flag, and that M.S. Golwalkar wrote that lower-caste women should be made prostitutes. Fact-checks by The Quint and Factly confirm no RSS worker represented the British or testified against Bhagat Singh. The quote attributed to Golwalkar does not exist in his writings, and Indian Express reports confirm the RSS hoisted the tricolor in 1947 and 1950.

The trick: Fake quote

It puts words in someone's mouth that they never said.

“गोलवलकर ने अपनी किताब में लिखा है, भारत की एससी, एसटी, OBC की लड़कियों को प्रेम जाल में फंसाकर वेश्या बना दिया जाए।”

The interviewee attributes a defamatory quote to M.S. Golwalkar that has no record in any of his published writings.

What the Reel doesn't tell you

The RSS hoisted the national flag on Independence Day 1947 and Republic Day 1950, and defenders cite Flag Code rules for its subsequent hoisting policy.
A former RSS worker wrote to ministers alleging RSS involvement in past bomb blasts (The Wire).
Defenders of the RSS attribute its flag policy prior to 2002 to restrictions under the Flag Code of India (The Wire).
