RSS Meeting Links Demographic Imbalance, Youth Protests to Systemic Failures
The RSS held a three-day meeting in Visakhapatnam to discuss major concerns in society.
One concern was that some communities are growing faster while others are shrinking.
RSS leaders said this could affect harmony in some regions.
They also discussed young people’s worries about education, jobs and their future.
The leaders said recent protests at Jantar Mantar showed problems in the larger system, not only corruption or NEET.
They said change should happen peacefully and constructively rather than through destruction.
Drug use among children and young people was another concern.
The RSS said both the government and society should work together to address these problems.
The meeting included hundreds of delegates from organisations linked to the RSS.
The RSS coordination meeting discussed demographic imbalance and its possible effects on social harmony.
Participants examined youth concerns, recent Jantar Mantar protests and wider systemic shortcomings.
RSS leader C R Mukunda said the protests reflected failures beyond corruption or individual issues such as NEET.
The meeting highlighted the spread of drugs into smaller cities, villages and schools, especially among children and young people.
The three-day meeting involved 326 delegates, including 49 women, from 32 Sangh-affiliated organisations.
