'RSS growing popular among youth, trend to go up in future'


Mumbai, Nov 5 (PTI): Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) has claimed that its popularity among the youth was on the rise, as 65 per cent of its shakhas in Maharashtra were composed of members between the age group of 12 and 18 years.

Shakha is a place where RSS volunteers gather every day and currently, there were 50,432 shakhas across the country.

As per the RSS data, out of the 3,429 shakhas spread over four regions of Maharashtra-- Konkan, Western Maharashtra, Devgiri and Vidarbha-- 2,229 are 'Bal and Tarun Samyukta Shakha' (Children and Youth Joint Shakhas) for the members between the age group of 12 and 18.

120 of the total shakhas in the state have members between the age of 18 and 40, which together with Children and Youth Joint Shakhas comprise 68 per cent (2,349 out of 3,429 Shakhas) of the total shakhas.

The shakhas with members over 40 years of age comprise around 32 per cent (1,080 out of total 3,429 shakhas) of the total number in Maharashtra, the data said. These figures have helped the RSS to dispel the "allegation" that the organisation was not present among the youth.

Satish Modh, Sanghchalak of Konkan region of RSS told PTI, "Only nine per cent of our shakhas (4,551 out of the total 50,432 at the national level) comprise members over 60 years of age. These figures themselves prove that we are fast becoming popular among the youth and this trend is more likely to go up in the near future."

He said that as per the figures till September this year, there were 50,432 RSS shakhas at 31,840 locations across the country. "The number would considerably go up by March next year," he added.

    Recently i heard RSS warned Modi not to give speeches in English. They said, its an insult to the nation. Shameless RSS.

    Copied from some other source:-
    The exploitation of children by terrorist groups is not new, but groups such as ISIS, Boko Haram, and the Pakistani Taliban are increasingly using children to carry out their activities.
    So, what RSS is doing is producing Indian versions of above groups.

    RSS is planing to go chaddiless. Recently there was a article in NDTV, mentioning RSS has set up a committee, to find out ways to go chaddiless.

    I would have suggested, remove the big leather cow skin belts, automatically they will achieve their goal.

    RSS has long term plans to brainwash young minds with their ideology so that they will become foot soldiers of their leaders without asking questions or thinking whether it is wrong or right.
    They have started schools & many affiliate organisations for children, women & religious activity, if any of them are caught in any crime they claim they are not our members now.
    The kids need to join Scouts & Guides, NCC & other patriotic organisations which teach them love, tolerance & discipline & armed combat & training better than this One Point Agenda Sangh.

    Yes Jafer, RSS was born before you and me It has long patriotic history. Today you are safe here because of patriotic RSS . So don’t compare it with ISIS beasts. For you it might be safe, not for civilized people. Remember, there was only one organization fought against Akhand Bharat partition at the time of independence , However antinational Muslim league succeeded to create evil nation called Pakistan, its impact here in India as long as antinationals live here. You don’t’ worry, RSS continuously fight against these evil forces and kick them out to their Pakistan like Dawood and make India safe for her real nationals.

    RSS fought for AkandBharat, not the rest including congress. So, they are more nationalistic. This is your argument. I have rebuttal.

    1) Firstly your discrediting the wisdom of Gandhi, Nehru, Sardar Patel.

    2) RSS was never a part of Independence.

    3) Here is something to drive my point further. Mahabharat happened in the presence of Lord Krishna. Naturally what something had to happen, he would not stop.

    So, the argument that RSS than congress is more nationalistic falls flat.

    RSS make 12 years old children to join their organization by force. When they grown up and realized they joined wrong group, RSS not allowing them to leave the organization. Parents should take care about their children and should not allow them to join this so called patriotic and fringe element's organization.
