On August 26, 27, and 28, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat presented the history, philosophy, vision, and future direction of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)—a mammoth Hindu organisation dedicated to national development.
The occasion was the centenary of the RSS, and in attendance at the event at Vigyan Bhavan, New Delhi, were intellectuals, diplomats, religious leaders from other faiths, media, and people working in the NGO sector.
As a parent organisation of the BJP, and with Prime Minister Narendra Modi being one of its card-holding members, the RSS and its constituents have a tremendous influence on the policies and programmes of the central government and the BJP-ruled states. As such, Bhagwat’s exposition of the RSS served the valuable purpose of helping understand it better.
