It has been reported by multiple media outlets that RSS-linked organisation Arogya Bharati has promised ‘Uttam Santati’, i.e. a perfect child under an Arogya Bharati project called “Garbh Sanskar”. Indian Express reports<\/a> that the procedure for a such a perfect child according to the Garbh Sanskar program is three months of \u201cshuddhikaran (purification)\u201d for parents, intercourse at a time decided by planetary configurations, complete abstinence after the baby is conceived, and procedural and dietary regulations. According to Indian Express, Dr Hitesh Jani, national convener, Arogya Bharati, claimed that this program could produce tall and fair babies.<\/p>\n

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.<\/div>\n

Dr Hitesh Jani also spoke to NDTV<\/a> and stated that “garbh sanskar can produce genius babies”. While speaking to NDTV, he also claimed that garbh sanskar enabled “genetic engineering in vivo or inside the womb”, while modern day genetic engineering was done “in vitro” or in a petri dish. This issue was also reported by TheWire<\/a>. Expectedly, there was a lot of outrage because of such ludicrous claims of producing super babies. In the meantime, OpIndia.com which is a right-wing website that works at exposing the bias in media against BJP, RSS and right-wing in general has come up with an article<\/a> claiming that all the above articles about “RSS-linked org promising fair babies” were fake and invented by the media.<\/p>\n

The author of the article Rohit Agarwal<\/a> defends RSS by stating that based on his online research, he couldn’t find any link between RSS and Arogya Bharati. He also spoke to Dr. Ramesh Gautam, National General Secretary of the Arogya Bharti, who reportedly stated that his ideology might match that of RSS but Arogya Bharti as such is an autonomous organisation. While speaking to OpIndia, he also stated that there was absolutely no attempt to get \u2018taller and fairer\u2019 babies as part of the Garbh Sanskar program. It is further stated in the OpIndia article that “the ‘RSS-link’ was entirely fabricated for sure<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

Dr Ramesh Gautam, whom OpIndia spoke to, has shared this article on his Facebook timeline and can be accessed here => https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ramesh.gautam.50\/posts\/1378544215538523<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Dr Ramesh Gautam currently claims that the program had nothing to do with RSS, on April 18th, he himself shared<\/a> the Hindu article<\/a> which starts with the sentence, “Arogya Bharati, the health and family welfare wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in the city will host a workshop on how to have a good child.” That Hindu article drew a clear link between RSS and Arogya Bharati, yet, Dr Ramesh Gautam did not seem to have an issue. The Hindu article goes on to quote the Secretary of the Kolkata chapter of Arogya Bharati, Joyshree Rakshit, who said that the initiative was aimed at \u201craising awareness in Bengal about the traditional wisdom of ancient Hindu sages on the ways of bearing an ideal and good child.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Ramesh<\/p>\n

Now, lets give Dr Ramesh Gautam the benefit of doubt. He may have shared the article as a piece of news and probably doesn’t endorse every word that is written in the Hindu article. However, Dr Ramesh Gautam’s own Facebook timeline is proof enough to show how Arogya Bharati is not only ‘inspired’ by RSS, but that the two organisations work very closely. <\/p>\n

Dr Ramesh Gautam has taken part in and addressed several “Garbh Sanskar” seminars as part of Ayogya Bharati, all of which he’s written about on his Facebook timeline. He’s also written about techniques to have “genius children” leading to a “bright future generation of Bharat.”<\/p>\n
