A test for the RSS

Sir, - I was happy to read the letter of the RSS spokesman (April 18) where he insists that the RSS is committed to ``extricating Hindu society from the shackles of superstition.'' The proof of the pudding is in eating. Let the RSS publicly call for the withdrawal of astrology, vedic mathematics, etc. from being introduced as subjects of study and reprimand Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi, a RSS pracharak, for his archaic proposals. Or was the letter merely for public posturing while the party encourages obscurantism?
