RASTRIYA SWAYAMSEBAK SANGHA—A NEW PARADIME

Bikash Choudhury





Rastriya Swayamsebak Sangha (RSS) is a Nationalistic Organization of preeminence that has inspired a few generations of Indians since pre-independence era. RSS apart from imparting training on discipline and nationalistic fervor in young people through Sakhas; also, instill Hindu ethos among community. During natural calamities Swayamsebaks help the civil administration in reaching out to the impoverished people. However, RSS has never sought publicity for its social activity, which is the hallmark of RSS nationalistic commitment and does not need any certificate or endorsement from any quarters.

Initially, RSS believed if its political wing receive popular mandate then that will help to implement the core philosophy of Sangha in the country. I understand the core philosophy of RSS are: Aspiration for ‘Akhanda Bharat’ (Undivided India), Uniform Civil Code in the Country, Pre-eminence for followers of Hindu religion, Respect for Hindu ethos & way of life in the country and recently, the construction of Ram temple at Ayodhya. Bharatiya Janata Party has been the torch bearer of RSS political agenda since 1980 and was in the Govt. for six years 1998-2004. Why RSS core philosophy could not be touched? Because, there is no political consensus on those issues in the country. To build political consensus in the country; RSS should now reexamine its old assumptions and move towards a new paradigm; where RSS would become the universal mentor(Umbrella Brand) of all centrist and rightist political forces in the country.

Therefore, RSS should now, transform into an organization that would work only on National Interest. The objective should be to Integrate Diverse Opinions and Collaborate with Organizations of different persuasion on supreme National Interest. To attain the position of universal mentor; RSS has to start work in the following areas:

 Dialogue between religion, culture and language
 Build strong relationship with neighboring countries
 Promoting hygiene and cleanliness in all cities & towns
 Driving a public movement for cleaning of all water bodies
 Promoting better understanding & coordination between central & state govt. and among state govt.
 Public funding of election
 Maoist menace and other internal security challenges
 Controlling pollution and maintenance of environment with multidimensional approach

RSS is the only organization having intellectual capacity and dedicated disciplined cadres with full time celibate leaders to implement most challenging ideas ever. Therefore, Sri Jaya Prakash Narayan Commended RSS as patriots.
