	Kamat's Potpourri: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)
		The Rastriya Swayamsevak Sangh -- RSS or the National Association of Self-helpers, is a very large, voluntary organization focusing on development of the society based on Hindutwa -- the essence of Hinduism.
		The RSS was founded by Dr. K.B. Hedgewar in 1925 when he unfurled the Bhagawadhaj-saffron flag-at a camp in Amaravati.
		RSS was again banned during the emergency by Indira Gandhi, but its forces were instrumental in defeating Mrs.

	The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh
		The RSS was established in 1925 as a kind of educational body whose objective was to train a group of Hindu men who would work together to unite the Hindu community, so that India could once again become an independent country.
		In its inception, the RSS had two basic aims: (1.) to unite and train Hindus to face the enemy, any alien party that was attempting to subjugate Hinduism; and (2.) to radicalize the Hindus to hasten the British withdrawal from India.
		The RSS was beginning to attract, and continues to attract, low income Hindus and small shopkeepers, who were concerned with their opportunities in a government that favoured the high class or minorities.

	War In The Parivar By Jyotirmaya Sharma
		This was the conclusion Golwalkar arrived at in the seven-day conclave of the Sangh in October 1972.
		The misconception, however, is that the RSS functions on the basis of ideology and its practices are governed by a strict fidelity to its core principles.
		The RSS wanted a signal to be sent that it rejoiced in the fact of a swayamsevak becoming the prime minister of India, even though he lasted in power at that juncture only for 13 days.

		The Sangh has given the impression of waiting for Joshi to come out clean from an ongoing inquiry by the Madhya Pradesh Police, but the actual chances of his return have been diminishing by the day.
		The new BJP president may swear by the Sangh but in day-to-day affairs he is not in a position to have his way, what with powerful peers like Arun Jaitley, Sushma Swaraj and Pramod Mahajan, let alone the Advani camp of Narendra Modi, Venkaiah Naidu and Ananth Kumar.
		As leaders in BJP and RSS slug it out among themselves, this fight is going to turn more vicious and in the public eye resulting in the Sangh losing its moral dominance over the rank and file of the Parivar.

		And when the Sangh workers insisted by informing the Army officers that a big number of Hindus were counting days of their life, the 'authorities were moved.

	An agenda of Indianisation
		At the Agra conclave of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the biggest ever meeting of RSS activists, there was the usual veiled criticism of the Bharatiya Janata Party leaders in government, but the main focus was on the need to "Indianise" Muslims and Christians.
		Although the RSS could assert its leadership of the Parivar, it felt that in the absence of an agency that could ensure the implementation of the "corrective" plans, the Vajpayee government would continue to tread "the path of drift".
		The shivir was touted as the biggest meet of RSS activi sts ever, and its ostensible objectives were to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the organisation and to focus "the nation's attention on the growing threats to national security".

	Indiainfo.com -> Spotlight -> The Ayodhya crisis -> Sangh, BJP flay Kalyan's statement on Ayodhya
		New Delhi: Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Kalyan Singh's allegation that the Ayodhya demolition was done on the directions of top Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leaders on June 20 evoked mixed response from the saffron parivar, with VHP holding him "equally responsible", Sangh expressing surprise and BJP playing it down.
		RSS spokesman Ram Madhav said, "It is surprising that after 11 years, Singh, who had been maintaining there was no conspiracy behind the demolition, today finds it opportune to say otherwise."
		Madhav asserted that the RSS believed there was no conspiracy behind whatever had happened on December 6, 1992 and it was a "spontaneous outburst of pent up anger".

	An RSS action plan
		Briefing newspersons on December 14 at the end of the chinthan baithak, RSS joint secretary K.S. Sudershan stated with uncharacteristic candour that the organisation was "not happy" with the functioning of the Government.
		The Sangh Parivar is worried about this divergence of opinion on major issues, which could perhaps cause a permanent rupture between the RSS and the BJP leaders in the Government.
		However, Sangh Parivar insiders agree that it is not easy for the RSS top brass to effect a change of leadership in the Government with a single diktat.

	Hinduism Today \| Nov 1999
		The RSS was at the time of India's independence already one of the largest organizations in the country, and today with some four million members among its "family," it is decidedly the largest.
		What's in a word: The basic RSS concept is simple: India consists of hundreds of millions of Hindus; therefore, its national identity should be Hindu, just as the national identities of nations with a large majority of Christian or Muslim citizens are forthrightly Christian or Muslim.
		The political fix: The RSS philosophy is to build a Hindu nation person by person and therefore it has a built-in aversion to politics, considering it a rather messy business involving too many compromises and not really making fundamental changes in the nation.

	Nailing the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh
		That the RSS is a past-master at lying brazenly to defend its conspiratorial past has been proved by its repeated denial of any association or responsibility for the crime of having supported, in either form or intent, the killing of Mahatma Gandhi.
		I had gone because the RSS crowd was circulating the news that something of high importance was expected to occur.
		An editorial in 1961 in ‘The Organiser’, the RSS mouthpiece, commented that Gandhi’s assassination was the result of anger caused by his insistence on stopping anti-Muslim killings and paying Rs 55 crore to Pakistan as that new nation’s post-Partition due share of the treasury.

		About the problems of the Hindu Society, the founder of RSS had a clear vision that these problems belonged to all the sections of this society and could not be considered in isolation.
		When such appointments were contested in the Court of Law, RSS people fought the case on the principle that every Hindu with the knowledge of performing the rites has a right to be a temple priest and got a favourable verdict of the Court.
		Sangh is working with all its strength and sources in preparing the Hindu Society for this purpose.

	RSS - THE SANGH: What is it, and what is it not?
		RSS was never officially implicated and convicted in the murder of Mahatma Gandhi because, among other reasons, Nathuram Godse could not conclusively be proven to be an RSS member.
		Thus, in the nineties, RSS, VHP, and BJP forged the strong Hindu revivalist Rama platform that dwelled on the issue of the "historic" birthplace of Lord Rama in Ayodhya in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
		RSS has a "Sarsanghchalak" (Supreme Leader) who is never elected (for that matter, no other leaders are elected-there is no system of internal elections in the organization)-the supreme leader's commands are obeyed without question.
