Bhagwat on Women’s Evolving Role in the RSS
Mohan Bhagwat, the RSS chief, says that women's participation in the RSS is increasing, but it's happening in its own time.
He believes that society cannot be organized without women's involvement and decision making.
The RSS works with the Rashtriya Sevika Samiti, a women's group.
Women are included in discussions and invited to some meetings.
The goal is for women to be a part of all the activities and programs.
