RSS, THE BEACON OF HUMANITY

The Rashtriya Swayam Sevak is a Social Organization which is engaged in social welfare activities, irrespective of caste, creed and culture. In a pluralistic society like India with various religious, cultural and ethnic groups inhabiting the country from time immemorial, the RSS stands for unity and integrity of India.

The land mass of Bharat when viewed from a spaceship of an Aircraft represents a land mass in the shape of the Mother, the female element or shakti that permeates the entire world. Without Shakti or the female element or the Mother, there is no life on earth. The RSS represents Mother India, Bharat. The sprit and ethos pervades the entire world. In this regard the RSS which is looked down as communal force is the misconception by the advoseeries of India. The RSS is not only a regional force but represents the entire humanity. The social welfare activities by the organization is illustrated in one of the many examples and a case in point is Charkhi-Dadri Air Tragedy, where an aircraft carrying all Muslim passengers perished in the said disaster and the persons performed the obsequies of the dead were none other than the Rashtriya Swayam Sevaks. The RSS went out and sought the Moulvies and Mullas and took every care to see that the dead bodies burnt beyond recognization buried as per the rituals of Islam. What is interesting in this case that though there was Muslim Organization in the place of disaster at that time; it was the RSS reached the spot first and took all necessary steps to recover the bodies from the reckage. Celebrating the human services of RSS, Al-Riyadh, an Arabic News Paper from the Riyadh, Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia quoted ”Until now we were under the impression that RSS is a communal, anti- Muslim organization. Now, we feel this view was totally wrong.” In one more heart appealing case is the tragedy of Machu reservoir embankments, wherein due to the breakdown of Machu reservoir thousands of people left homeless. Many of them were Muslims and it is pertinent to note that the calamity occurred during the month of Ramadan fasting. The dedicated cadres of RSS took care to organize their Food for Sehari and Ifthar and provided all facilities for Namaz (Prayer) keeping in mind the Holy Month of Ramadan.

As stated earlier, the RSS is a cultural and social Organization stands for high ideals that is laid down in the ancient text of Vedas which preaches “Sarvadharma Sambhavana”, which means equality of all religions and equal respect to all religions. This is what the ancient seers and sages of India taught the people of India from ancient times.

The RSS is not anti- Muslim or anti- Christian or anti- any religion. The RSS stands out in society to protect the dignity and decorum of every single individual in India as Indians first and then to any other sections they belong. It stands for the India ness of Indians teaming millions whether they are Muslims, Sikhs or Christians or any other segment of the Society, what the RSS preaches is that they shall all join the mainstream of Indian society as one voice and one people representing the cultural and spiritual fabric of Bharat. In this regard RSS stands as a Beacon Light for all segments of the society to protect Mother India and the values on which they edifice and the spiritual and cultural traditions of India is to be upheld at any cost. In this context the RSS calls upon all the groups irrespective of Caste, Creed and Culture to come together and uphold the ancient traditions and cultures of India which date backs to 5,000 years ago. Just like a Mother who cares for her children deeply and affectionately even though her children may mis behave or mistreat her. The RSS is an organization which is blended with aesthetic love and affection for Bharat Mata and its citizens who have been swayed by the western culture and obviously, which is against the culture and traditions of this great country.

It is very pertinent to mention here that when ever there is an out burst of any communal violence or tensions in Indian society, it is squarely blamed on the RSS. The People belong to various groups and other Political outfits have this dirty habit of shifting all the blame for the violence on the RSS, forgetting that India is a nation where 40 % of the people are below the Poverty lane and nearly 45 % of the Population is Illiterate. The social and economical conditions in which our brothers and sisters are living in deep squalor without proper accommodation, proper food and proper shelter and above all a gain full employment, which naturally reduces the human being to the lowest level and the conduct of such population is aroused to violence at the spur of the Movement and the anti social elements take over the stage.

The RSS is a highly organized disciplined force which believes in complete truth and honesty and for any sacrifice to protect the integrity of India and such a disciplined force never indulges in communal violence or will indulge in cheap violence engendered by lumpen elements waiting for an opportunity to create chaos and confusion with an intent to disrupt the society to meet their own criminal ends.

The integrity and transparency of the RSS is seen in its conduct in not entering the political arena. It is interested in the rapid progress and development of Indian Society as a whole and in particular for the weaker sections of the society namely Muslims, Schedule Caste and Schedule tribes and other groups and in this field, the RSS is most prominent organization carrying out multiple task and social welfare work for the under privileged and downtrodden sections of the society without any show or publicity. The RSS man is a silent worker dedicated to the programme and overall development of Bharat and in this regard the RSS sevaks will leave no stone unturned till the goal is reached. Jai Hind
