The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) stands as a colossal cultural organization on the global stage, intricately woven into the fabric of Indian society. Acting as the backbone for over 75 affiliated organizations, including its political counterpart, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the RSS is a vibrant tapestry of ideologies. Since its inception, it has championed the principles of conservative Sanatan culture, instilling a profound sense of cultural identity and pride among its members.
This organization not only promotes its own beliefs but also honours the rich tapestry of diverse faiths and traditions that coexist within the community source says. As societal norms and perspectives continue to transform, a shift is palpable within the ranks of the RSS. A faction of its members advocates for a more inclusive ethos, envisioning an organization that embraces individuals from all walks of life, transcending the boundaries of caste, creed, and religion.
This push for inclusivity seeks to expand the RSS's reach and structure, making it more representative of contemporary society source says. Currently, the organization's leadership mirrors a spectrum of ideologies—traditionalists who hold steadfast to the cherished values of the past alongside progressive voices advocating for openness and acceptance. This coexistence of differing viewpoints not only enriches the internal dialogue but also fosters a spirit of collaboration and unity, ultimately serving to elevate the RSS for the collective advancement of its ideals source says.
