RSS at 100: A Legacy of Devotion and Nation-Building

Union Home Minister Amit Shah commemorated the 100th anniversary of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), praising its unwavering devotion to nation-building and selfless service. Describing the RSS as the world's largest voluntary organization, he recognized the organization's influence over countless leaders and grassroots workers throughout its history.

Shah, a self-proclaimed 'proud swayamsevak', highlighted the challenges faced by its members, who forfeit personal comfort in service to the country. He noted the significant role the RSS played under Keshav Baliram Hedgewar's leadership since its inception in 1925, supporting national causes such as the Hyderabad liberation struggle and the Goa liberation movement.

Marking the centenary, Shah commended the RSS for fostering unity among diverse communities and contributing to the nation's vision of self-respect. The organization's ongoing efforts in remote areas signify its enduring commitment to the sacred ideals of service and unity across India's social fabric.
