Countless companions, contributors, well-wishers in 100-year RSS journey

The work of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has now completed one hundred years.

- Dattatreya Hosabale

In this long journey, countless people have been companions, contributors, and well-wishers. This journey was full of hard work and challenges, but the unwavering support of ordinary citizens turned it into a fulfilling one. As we pause in the centenary year and look back, memories of many such moments and people come alive — those who devoted their everything to ensure the success of this mission.

In the early years, young karyakartas set forth across the country like dedicated warriors, driven entirely by their love for the nation. Family men like Appaji Joshi or full-time pracharaks such as Dadarav Parmarth, Balasaheb and Bhaurao Deoras brothers, Yadavrao Joshi, Eknath Ranade — all of them, under the guidance of Dr. KB Hedgewar, took Sangh work asa sacred vow of lifelong service to the nation.

The progress of the Sangh has always rested on society's constant support. Because its work remained in tune with the spirit of the people, acceptance grew steadily over time. Once, Swami Vivekananda was asked during his foreign travels, “Most of your countrymen are uneducated, they don’t even know English, so how will they understand these profound things you talk about?” Swamiji had replied, “Just as ants do not need to learn English to find sugar, my people do not need foreign tongues to recognise a noble and spiritual cause. Their inner wisdom will guide them.” This statement turned out to be remarkably true. Similarly, despite the slow pace, society at large has continuously recognised and supported the Sangh’s sincere efforts.
