Rastriya Swayamsevak Sangh -RSS
                                                               RSS was formed by K B Hedgewar in the year 2025 at Nagpur, Maharashtra.  It is a Hindu Paramilitary volunteer Organization. The main mission of 'RSS' is to unite Hindus. It has about 5.6 million members with 56859 Shakhas  (As per 2016 figures). It has its roots in doing public services for poor and needy.
                                                                RSS Members does not take part in politics unless they are specifically permitted by their organization. That is how it has now become the  parent organization of the Bhartiya Janata Party which is a ruling party of  India. It is to be noted that each and every RSS member goal is to serve and uplift the Society.  Therefore the success of 'BJP' is also attributed to the ground work done by RSS workers.
                                                                RSS  believes in equality of all and do not incriminate anybody on the basis Cast and Clan. Long back Mahatma Gandhi visited then RSS headquarters at Nagpur and asked its Head then ' Do you enroll Backward Class and Untouchables in your Organization?  RSS Head replied him ' You may ask this question directly to our  members'. Thereafter Gandhiji  himself inquired with RSS members and confirmed that people from all Cast and Clan are enrolled therein.  They are all treated equally. He was very much impressed then with with RSS Cader.

                                                                However on the Assassination of the Mahatma Gandhi RSS became very controversial and it was also banned by the government for some time.   RSS has always remained controversial as it was a close Organization. Therefore it is said that' It is very difficult to understand RSS but very easy to misunderstand it'.
                                                                Bala Saheb Deoras, RSS, Head brought Reforms in RSS through  Seva, Sampark , and Publicity. He opened up the organization through Sampark of Swayamsevaks.  I got opportunity to look in to the working of  RSS under their campaign of ' Seva and Sampark'. I met a RSS Grass Root level worker and Stalwart Shri Narayanabhai Bhandari(Nana). He who established 'Vidyarthi Parishad' in Gujarat. i.e. A Youth Wing of RSS.  Narendra Modi Prime Minister and BJP President Amit Shah were also active worker of Vidyarthi Parishad.  I show Nana  working for the upliftment of Middle Class, Tribal People and  Slum Dwellers . This is only to show how RSS people are working for needy and poor people of  India. 
                                                                The present head of the RSS Mohan Bhagwat  went further and gave slogan that ' No Hindu Rashtra without Muslims. ' He also extended hands for the cooperation of Indian Muslims. Mohan Bhagwat further said that ' All Religions are Equal'. He believes that some of the thoughts of RSS are time out and no longer relevant. He agrees with the view of Mahatma Gandhi  in this matter i.e. ' If there is contradiction in his thought then they should go according to the latest one.'

                                                                 The fast changes are being introduced in RSS by  inviting prominent persons from different fields to mold the thinking of RSS workers. The Former President of India,  Pranav Mukerji addressed  the RSS gathering very recently. Even Congress President Rahul Gandhi may be invited to address the RSS gathering. These are the glaring examples of changing mood of RSS and its desire to open its gates for new ideas and views. It will bring the great  changes in the outlook of RSS . i.e. To suit the needs of time.
                                                                Mohan Bhagwat appears to be in mood to follow the view of Former Russian Leader Gorbachev i.e. ' If not me, who? If not now,
when?
