Bhagwat’s Outreach: RSS Charts New Course Ahead of Centenary
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is set to launch a major civil society outreach programme, spearheaded by its Sarsanghachalak, Mohan Bhagwat. The initiative, timed to coincide with the organisation’s upcoming centenary celebrations, aims to engage with key influencers across diverse sectors.
The ambitious campaign will see a series of high-profile dialogues held in major metropolitan centres. Delhi, Bengaluru, Kolkata, and Mumbai are currently slated to host these events.
The RSS plans to invite prominent figures from various fields, including academia, business, and the arts, to participate in these discussions. Ambassadors from several key nations will also be invited, with notable exceptions.
Significantly, Pakistan has been excluded from the list of countries whose ambassadors will receive invitations. This exclusion reflects the ongoing geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan.
This outreach program represents a significant strategic move by the RSS. Its success will be crucial in shaping public perception and influencing national discourse as the organisation approaches its landmark centenary in 2025. The exclusion of Pakistan, however, underscores the complex geopolitical realities shaping the initiative. The dialogues’ outcomes will be keenly observed for their impact on India’s domestic and foreign policy landscapes.
