Only Hindus can be RSS members: Bhagwat
The Statesman
|November 10, 2025
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Sunday clarified its legal status, membership policy, outreach programmes, and long-term vision, emphasising that only Hindus can become members while minority communities may participate in outreach programmes but cannot hold organisational authority.
Addressing misconceptions about the organisation's outreach and minority participation, the RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said: "Non-Hindus, including Muslims, Christians, or people from other castes, may participate in outreach programmes or visit for special activities, but they cannot join the organisational branches as formal members," Mr Bhagwat (photo) was speaking during an interaction at the lecture series of 100 Years of Sangh Journey: New Horizons.
