Youth Congress Storms Barricades, Cops Detain Protesters Nagpur: A group of Youth Congress workers faced police intervention as they attempted to march toward the RSS’ Smruti Mandir in Reshimbagh on Wednesday, protesting an FIR filed against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in Uttarakhand. The protest, organized by the Youth Congress state leadership, was sparked by the filing of an FIR against Gandhi over remarks he made regarding a ritual performed after a rally of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge. The incident unfolded as the group, led by state president Shivraj More and co-in charge Navjyot Singh Sandhu, began a march from Great Nag Road toward Reshimbagh. Police had erected barricades to block access to the Smruti Mandir, prompting the protesters to scale the barriers and raise slogans, which led to a chaotic situation. Ramtek MP Shyam Barve, who joined the march, accused the government of using police force to suppress the protest. He claimed the group had intended to deliver a copy of the Constitution to the RSS office but was thwarted by authorities. “We had come peacefully to hand the Constitution to the RSS office, but they used the police and administration to stop us. This is a frightened government that puts the police in front instead of facing us,” Barve stated. He further criticized the FIR against Gandhi, arguing that the remarks in question were constitutionally protected. “Khargeji was disrespected, and an FIR was registered against Rahul ji. If BJP and RSS think there was nothing wrong with this, why won’t they openly condemn it? A person should be identified by their ability, not caste. Whether a place is considered impure or pure because of someone’s caste is itself unconstitutional,” he added.#rss #youth_congress #shivraj_more #navjyot_singh_sandhu #shyam_barve

मोहन भागवत के मुसलमानों पर दिए बयान पर बोले ओवैसी - 'ये RSS की...' एआईएमआईएम के अध्यक्ष असदुद्दीन ओवैसी ने संघ प्रमुख मोहन भागवत के न्यूयॉर्क में दिए गए बयान पर तीखा पलटवार किया है। भागवत ने अमेरिका में अपने कार्यक्रम में शनिवार को कहा था कि अगर कोई हिंदू यह सोचता है कि भारत में कोई मुसलमान नहीं होना चाहिए, तो वह हिंदू नहीं रहेगा। ओवैसी ने इस बयान को 'एक पुरानी चाल' बताते हुए आरएसएस के विचारधारा की आलोचना की। उन्होंने कहा कि आरएसएस ने कभी अपने मुख्य विचारकों और लेखकों की बातों से किनारा नहीं किया है। ओवैसी ने आरएसएस के संस्थापक मोहन हेडगेवार के बारे में बताया कि वे इंडियन नेशनल कांग्रेस में थे लेकिन गांधी के नेतृत्व में आजादी की लड़ाई में सभी धार्मिक समुदायों के शामिल होने के खिलाफ थे। उन्होंने बताया कि आरएसएस के लेखकों की जीवनी में बताया गया है कि इंडियन नेशनल कांग्रेस से अलग होने का कारण गांधी के हिंदू-मुसलमान एकता के नारे के खिलाफ रुख था। ओवैसी ने डॉक्टर हेडगेवार की किताब 'द एपोक मेकर' में इस बात का उल्लेख किया है। उन्होंने आरएसएस के विचारधारा के खिलाफ अन्य साक्ष्य भी दिए। एसएस गोलवलकर की किताब 'श्री गुरुजी समग्र दर्शन' में आरएसएस को लोकतंत्र के विरोधी बताया गया है। गोलवलकर ने 1940 में कहा था कि आरएसएस एक रंग, एक नेता और एक विचारधारा से प्रेरित है। ओवैसी ने इसके अलावा गुजरात के मुसलमानों के साथ हुए अत्याचार के बारे में बताया। उन्होंने हिंदुस्तान टाइम्स के अखबार में 21 मार्च 2002 के खबर का हवाला दिया, जहां बताया गया है कि मुसलमानों के पिता गैंग रेप किए गए, उनके सिर कुचल दिए गए, और उनकी संपत्ति लूट ली गई। ओवैसी ने आरएसएस के लिए भारतीय मुसलमान और ईसाई धर्म के लोगों को खतरा बताया। गोलवलकर की किताब 'बंच ऑफ था थॉट्स' में एक चैप्टर है जहां मुसलमान नागरिकों को पहला खतरा बताया गया है। ईसाई समुदाय को दूसरा खतरा बताया गया है, क्योंकि उन्हें धार्मिक और सामाजिक ताने-बाने को नष्ट करने के लिए तुला गया है। ओवैसी ने यूसीसी के नाम पर मुसलमानों पर हिंदू कानून थोपे जा रहे होने का आरोप लगाया। उन्होंने कहा कि आरएसएस की विचारधारा...#indian_national_congress #rss #aimim #asduddin_owaisi #mohan_bagvat

New York Mayor Opposes RSS Chief's Event at Madison Square Garden New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has publicly stated that he cannot support an upcoming public event featuring RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat at Madison Square Garden. While acknowledging that the city administration lacks legal jurisdiction to cancel the privately organized gathering, Mamdani expressed strong personal opposition to divisive ideologies. The event, scheduled for August 29 as part of RSS’s centenary celebrations, aims to promote global unity and brotherhood under the banner of the AHEAD Forum. Organizers describe the gathering as a platform to emphasize the concept of "one world, one family," aligning with the organization’s stated goals. Mamdani, who is the first Indian-American mayor of New York City, emphasized his commitment to secularism and pluralism. He highlighted his family’s enduring ties to India and recounted growing up with a vision of an inclusive India where all communities are treated equally. However, he condemned the promotion of divisive ideologies that prioritize specific groups over others, framing such perspectives as a threat to societal harmony. His stance reflects broader concerns about the RSS’s influence and its historical association with policies that have marginalized minority communities in India. The mayor’s opposition has drawn support from several advocacy groups, including the Hindu for Human Rights, the Indian American Muslim Council, and the Interfaith Center of New York. These organizations have staged protests outside City Hall, demanding the event’s cancellation. They argue that the RSS’s ideology, rooted in Hindu nationalism, perpetuates exclusion and intolerance.#new_york_city #zohran_mamdani #madison_square_garden #rss #mohan_bhagwat

Fragile Minds of Children: A Collective Failure of Family and Society RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat addressed the growing fragility of young minds during the inauguration of a mental health wellness center in Nagpur, attributing the issue to systemic failures within families and society. Speaking on Sunday, Bhagwat emphasized that the declining resilience of children is not a personal failing but a societal crisis, warning that mental healthcare cannot be left solely to medical professionals. He highlighted alarming cases of students taking their lives after failing Class 12 exams or being scolded at home, questioning how such minds could become so fragile. Bhagwat pointed to the erosion of traditional family structures as a key factor, noting that the absence of grandparents in children’s lives has replaced nurturing with technology. He criticized the reliance on mobile phones and digital platforms as substitutes for familial and cultural guidance, arguing that modern children are left to navigate their emotions without the stories and wisdom passed down through generations. “Parents leave children to TV, Google, and mobile phones,” he said, stressing that this disconnect fosters loneliness and mental instability. The RSS chief called for a collective societal effort to build resilience in young minds, asserting that positive experiences and community support are essential. He argued that the current Western approach to psychology, fragmented by competing theories like Freudian and Adlerian models, lacks the holistic understanding found in India’s ancient traditions. Bhagwat cited texts such as the Yogavasistha and Yoga Sutras of Patanjali as examples of India’s rich, unexplored science of the mind, which he believed could offer deeper insights into mental well-being.#nagpur #rss #mohan_bhagwat #yogavasistha #yoga_sutras_of_patanjali

RSS's Silent Campaign and BJP's Victory in West Bengal: A Shift in Voter Sentiment The 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections marked a seismic shift in the political landscape, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) securing a decisive victory over the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC). Central to this outcome was the RSS's "silent strike" strategy, a grassroots campaign that leveraged micro-level engagement to amplify discontent with TMC governance. By focusing on localized networks, the BJP and RSS tapped into simmering frustrations over crime, corruption, and perceived marginalization of Hindu communities, ultimately reshaping voter behavior. The Silent Campaign: Micro-Level Engagement The RSS and BJP adopted a low-profile, community-centric approach, avoiding overt political messaging. Instead, they utilized informal networks, including local tea shops, small businesses, and neighborhood gatherings, to disseminate messages about the TMC's alleged failures. Workers from RSS-affiliated organizations, such as the Hindu Jagaran Mandals, engaged in door-to-door interactions, often under the guise of social gatherings. These meetings, centered around tea and "chana" (split peas), became platforms to discuss issues like extortion ("cut-money"), violence against Hindus, and the erosion of communal safety. The strategy emphasized "quiet messaging," where small groups of volunteers would gradually expand their reach, fostering organic conversations about governance and security. This approach allowed the BJP to bypass traditional political propaganda, instead focusing on addressing grievances directly. As RSS leader Jishnu Basu noted, the campaign capitalized on a "silent wave" of frustration among voters, who felt their concerns were ignored by the TMC.#bjp #trinamool_congress #rss #rg_kar_hospital #sunil_bansal

BJP's Victory in West Bengal: The Role of RSS in Shaping Electoral Strategy The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured a historic victory in West Bengal’s 2021 assembly elections, marking a significant shift in the state’s political landscape. Central to this triumph was the strategic collaboration between the BJP and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), which played a pivotal role in mobilizing resources, organizing grassroots efforts, and countering the dominance of the Trinamool Congress (TMC). The RSS’s involvement extended beyond traditional political support, encompassing data-driven strategies, community engagement, and addressing local grievances to consolidate voter support. RSS’s Strategic Involvement The RSS’s contribution to the BJP’s success in West Bengal was multifaceted. One of the most notable aspects was the deployment of 2000 workers from other states, who were tasked with strengthening the BJP’s presence in key constituencies. These volunteers, trained in local languages and cultural nuances, focused on grassroots mobilization, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas where the TMC had previously dominated. Their efforts included organizing door-to-door campaigns, addressing voter concerns, and fostering trust in the BJP’s promises of development and governance. The RSS also leveraged its extensive network of local leaders and volunteers to create a robust organizational framework. This included establishing over 1,500 daily branches of the RSS across the state, which served as hubs for political activity, community engagement, and voter education. These branches played a critical role in coordinating efforts between the BJP and RSS, ensuring that campaigns were tailored to the specific needs and aspirations of different regions.#assembly_elections #west_bengal #bjp #trinamool_congress #rss

Nagpur on Radioactive Alert After Threat Letter Targets RSS Offices, Metro Stations Nagpur has been placed on high alert following the discovery of an anonymous threat letter that claimed radioactive caesium-137 powder had been dispersed in RSS offices and key public locations, including Metro stations. The letter, which was sent through the General Post Office (GPO) and addressed directly to the police commissioner, also alleged that gelatin sticks and detonators had been left at a professor’s house in central Nagpur earlier this month. The sender claimed to represent an exploited and backward class, taunting authorities to contact the Tarapur nuclear plant for radiation checks and advising citizens to demand Prussian blue pills as an antidote. The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has deployed its specialized chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) unit to conduct extensive scans of RSS offices in Mahal, Mahametro stations, bus stands, and surrounding areas. Teams are using portable radiation detectors and collecting swipe samples from high-contact surfaces such as chairs and seats. State and central intelligence agencies, along with the State Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), have joined the investigation. Anti-sabotage checks are being carried out at sensitive locations, including the Hedgewar memorial at Reshimbagh and Metro trains on the Orange and Aqua lines near RSS and BJP offices. Senior police officials confirmed that the letter contains chilling details about radioactive contamination, including the alleged sprinkling of caesium-137 powder on chairs at RSS headquarters and offices in Mahal. A case has been registered under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Samhita and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).#nagpur #rss #national_disaster_response_force #tarapur_nuclear_plant #prussian_blue_pills

India Emerges as Guiding Force in Times of Global Crisis RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat asserted on Monday that India has consistently emerged as a guiding force during global crises, crediting the country's enduring spiritual foundation for this resilience. Speaking at a seven-day ritual ceremony in Nagpur, Bhagwat highlighted the spiritual knowledge passed down by India's ancestors, which he said continues to shape the nation's response to global challenges. He emphasized that this spiritual legacy has allowed India to remain steadfast even as other civilizations have collapsed under the pressures of materialism and consumerism. Bhagwat's remarks came amid ongoing tensions in the West Asia region, where conflicts have been causing significant global unrest. He pointed out that while other ancient civilizations such as Greece, Egypt, and Rome have faded from history, India's identity and cultural continuity have remained unshaken. "Greece, Egypt and Rome empires vanished from the face of the earth, yet there is something about us that our identity never diminishes," he said, referring to this as the "hasti" or essence of India. The RSS chief further explained that the immortality of the nation, which ensures well-being and harmony, is rooted in the teachings of saints and sages. He called for a collective responsibility to sustain this legacy, urging individuals to see themselves as instruments of a larger spiritual force. Bhagwat emphasized that the contributions of saints and spiritual leaders have been central in shaping Indian society, enabling it to adapt, evolve, and sustain itself over centuries. He urged people to internalize the teachings of these spiritual figures, noting that even being in their company (satsang) can transform lives and society.#nagpur #greece #rss #mohan_bhagwat #egypt

RSS Built by Swayamsevaks, Not Anyone’s Krupa: Bhagwat Nagpur: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat emphasized the organization’s growth over the past century, attributing its success to the collective efforts of swayamsevaks rather than external factors. Speaking at the unveiling of the book Rashtra Swaradhana at Dr Hedgewar Smruti Mandir, Bhagwat stated, “The organisation stood because of the swayamsevaks, not due to anyone else’s ‘krupa’ (grace). Neither did it stop because of someone’s disfavour.” The event marked the launch of a volume documenting the history and evolution of the RSS’s Nagpur Mahanagar Ghosh, a musical band tradition within the Sangh. Bhagwat clarified that the RSS does not seek credit for its work, stating, “The intention is not to inscribe achievements in our own name in golden words, but to attribute them to society.” He urged members to align “voice with voice and step with step,” drawing on a Sanskrit phrase, “Deva bhagam yatha purve…,” to underscore the importance of unity. He likened the gods’ achievements to the need for coordinated societal effort, asserting that the RSS’s strength lies in its collective strength. Highlighting the Sangh’s 100-year journey as both “romanchkari” (thrilling) and “udbodhak” (enlightening), Bhagwat noted its history offers lessons for future work. He emphasized the role of the Ghosh within the Sangh’s structure, stating that all divisions aim to inculcate “sanskar” (values). The musical wing, he explained, adds discipline and aesthetic appeal to physical training, ensuring public presentations by swayamsevaks are coordinated and engaging. Bhagwat stressed the importance of maintaining quality standards in such activities, calling for continuous self-assessment.#rss #mohan_bhagwat #dr_hedgewar_smruti_mandir #nagpur_mahanagar_ghosh #swayamsevaks
