WHO IS AN INDIAN?

One Hundred Years Of... Sacred and the Scared

An organisation that takes pride in being rock solid in times of liquid modernity, can it catch up with the change?

One Hundred Years Of...Adapting

\"Hindu or Muslim does not matter. You just have to be qualified for the post,\" says Ram Madhav, when asked if a Muslim can head the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Madhav-who has served as the National General Secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and is also associated with the RSShowever, says that the RSS believes this country to be a Hindu nation. In an interview with Outlook editor Chinki Sinha, he talks about the organisation's views on Hindus, Hindu Rashtra, ghar wapsi, love jihad, caste, reservations, political influence, Adivasis, the three children norm, women... and his new book. Edited excerpts from a video interview:

The Thought of the Sangh Is Synonymous with Hindutva Thought

OUR work is fundamentally man-making. Swayamsevaks have entered and started working in almost all walks of our social life. They have also built various organizations and institutions. All these organizations and institutions are independent, autonomous and self-reliant. None of these organizations or institutions is run according to the decisions taken at the meetings of the Sangh. These have been started by our swayamsevaks on their own accord, and they also run them without depending on others. They keep in touch with the Sangh and also get suggestions and cooperation. The swayamsevaks also develop the sense to extend cooperation to whoever is doing some good work with honesty for the sake of society, irrespective of whether they are our supporters or opponents. Questions concerning the relationship between the Sangh and politics are being raised time and again. Is the Sangh nurturing any political ambition? The common trend nowadays is that when a person acquires capabilities and creates their own identity in the field that helped them achieve their capabilities, they will be keen on joining politics. However, the work of the Sangh is to organize the entire society. Politics, political parties and the work of organizing the society can go together only to a limited extent. Hence, the Sangh has, from the very beginning, made a strong resolve to keep itself away from politics. The Sangh will never involve itself in competitive politics, will never fight elections and the office-bearer of the Sangh will never take up any official responsibilities or positions in any political party. The Sangh will always keep itself aloof from politics.

One Hundred Years Of... The Deep State

Ambedkar remains, and will continue to be, the biggest roadblock to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's (RSS) efforts to saffronise the Dalits, says Christophe Jaffrelot—a professor of Indian politics and sociology at King's India Institute, London—in an interview with Outlook editor Chinki Sinha.

One Hundred Years Of... Being a Lesser Hindu

He joined the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) during his teenage years and rose in the organisation’s ranks. During the Babri Masjid demolition movement, he joined the karsevaks to go to Ayodhya. His arrest became a turning point of his life, prompting him to question the RSS’ casteist realities, and eventually leave the organisation. He founded platforms such as Diamond India, Khabarkosh and Shoonyakaal to amplify marginalised voices. He has also worked with the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan and played an important role in implementing laws such as RTI, NREGA and the Food Security Act. His book I Could Not Be Hindu (originally written in Hindi as Main Ek Kar Sevak Tha) has been translated into multiple languages. Meghwanshi spoke to Jagisha Arora about his eventful journey.

Women at Work

I've been observing the work of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) since I was a child. My paternal uncle, the late Rambhau Haldekar, and my maternal uncle, the late Dattaji Bhale, were both dedicated pracharaks and committed RSS workers. Our home was steeped in the RSS' ethos, and there was a Rashtra Sevika Samiti shakha nearby. I started attending that shakha, and got completely immersed in it in no time.
