The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has been important in India for 100 years. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will release a historic stamp and coin to honor the event. The stamp and coin will honor the Sangh’s influence on the country’s politics, society, and culture.
How RSS Came to Be
RSS was started by Dr K.B. Hedgewar in 1925 as a cultural and nationalist group. Discipline, pride, and the idea of “Hindutva” are at the heart of its beliefs. Over the years, RSS has grown its influence through political, social, and educational programs that have shaped generations of leaders and regular people.
Effects on Politics RSS has played a big part in Indian politics over the years. PM Modi is one of many leaders with roots in the Sangh’s shakhas. Through political parties, especially the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), its ideas have indirectly shaped policymaking, elections, government goals, and national narratives.
A Tribute with a Commemorative Stamp and Coin
The upcoming stamp and coin will be an official honour of RSS’s 100-year history. In addition to being treasures, they show how the Sangh helped build the country, do social work, and encourage people to get involved in politics. The fact that PM Modi released these things shows that he understands both the importance of the past and the importance of the present.
Help and Criticism
RSS supporters say that it promotes discipline, traditional pride, and national unity. Critics, on the other hand, say that its philosophy can divide people and keep others out. This two-sided view shows how complicated the Sangh’s legacy is—some people respect it, others question it.
The Second Century
It will be very important for RSS to react to modern India’s social and political changes as it moves into its second century. Its future effects will depend on how well traditional values are balanced with programs for inclusive growth, education, and civic involvement.
The 100th anniversary of RSS is more than just a party; it marks 100 years of changing India’s politics and culture. The memorial stamp and coin made by PM Modi will always be remembered for the Sangh’s important role in the country’s history and politics.
