RSS Celebrates 100 Years Amid Resistance
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is celebrating 100 years.
While many people talk about how big and powerful it has become, it's also important to look at the resistance it has faced.
This resistance comes from different places like universities, government institutions, and even within the RSS itself.
The RSS has grown in some areas, but in others, it has struggled.
Some of its local groups have not grown or have even shrunk.
There have been times when fewer people joined, and it's been hard to get younger people involved.
Courts and other groups have also pushed back against the RSS.
So, while the RSS has been around for a long time, it's not always been an easy journey.
RSS celebrates 100 years of existence.
Media focuses on RSS' expansion and political power.
Resistance to RSS comes from various regions and social groups.
RSS faces challenges like stagnation, declining participation, and pushback from institutions.
Understanding RSS' impact requires examining both its growth and its struggles.
