Trade off- significance in sociaty

Trade off - very interesting word in economics, similar interesting in social life. While playing chess, sometimes I am interested in calculating trade offs between Queen and other twos and vice-versa .
Let me directly come to the point -
A very old, reputed and respected Hindu organization in India , where I used to be part of it almost for 2 years for full time and another 2-3 years part time. My understanding about this organization depends on two factors, first  I lived full time for 2years on district level office where Pracharak and other related people were living full time there and their activities were always in-front of my eyes. All the major activities of this organization were being controlled from that office. Influential people of city associated with organization used to visit it occasionally. So I got enough interaction opportunity with most of the people associated with it full time or part time.Second, I was too young ( 14-16 years old) to judge philosophy of an organization at that point in time.

It took me almost a decade to decide to be or not to be with the philosophy of organization. Though , still I am not pretty sure whether it's philosophy is right or not right in larger interest of society.
In my personal view , this organization has two flip sides , one is very constructive, disciplinary and character building of a person by practicing daily Shakha's and Baudhiks ( speeches). This side gives you proud of being Hindu, being Indian , being associated with organization, believing in brotherhood and extending helping hands for the people in any kind of emergency.

However, flip side of this organization leads you to be extremist and radical in your thought process. These people question, role of Mahatma Ghandhi and many other freedom fighters in our independence. Some time, they introduce their role models from history , and claim them to be more superior than the existing ones with whom you are much familiars.
Most importantly, ostensibly, they pronounced that they believe in brotherhood-ness and are not against any religion, particularly Muslims. As a matter of fact, they are one, who sow hate seeds in your fertile brain at very early stage against Muslims by telling you stories related Mughal,s attack over India and Muslim ruled us for centuries before English. Without actual realization, your brain will be hijacked for radical and extremist thinking. Once you are in circle , rather than judging your stance your priorities become to bring in more radical people or make people with extremist thought in the circle.
Here concept of trade off is very important , which took me almost many years to decide to be associated with organization by considering benefits of it or leave it by considering drawbacks.
I still believe that many good people also belongs to the same organization, who lead from front and represented country's top post. These people are much focused on character building and takes pride of being Hindu but are not tilted towards the flip side of coin, owning some body, s mind against Muslims and any other religion. I am still in touch with many individuals belongs to the organization and visit them occasionally.
Another difference between this Hindu organization and other radical thinking organizations ( antagonists) , I found that this organization is very soft but continuous in hammering your brain to be extremist in your thoughts , while antagonist seems very tough in this regard. That may be another reason of surviving this organization for such a longer period and its acceptance in society.
Though my cause of worry  is that people already with radical thought are finding this organization suitable  platform to nurture their extremism, and becoming more dangerous for society in their thought process. I request organization to dilute their agendas some where and being crystal clear in their philosophy and goals to save the society before saving the nation.
