The National Volunteer Organization is an Indian right-wing nationalist organization. RSS is the ancestor and leader of a large number of organizations called Sangh Parivar (RSS family) that have a presence in all aspects of Indian society. RSS was founded on September 27, 1925. As of 2014, it has a membership of 5-6 million. The initial incentive was to teach character through Hindu discipline and to unite the Hindu community to form a Hindu Rashra (Hindu nation). The organization promotes the ideals of supporting Indian culture and the values of civil society and promotes the ideology of the Hindu community in order to strengthen the Hindu community. He drew inspiration from European right-wing groups during World War II. Gradually, RSS became a prominent Hindu nationalist umbrella organization, spawning several affiliated organizations that created numerous schools, charities and clubs to spread their ideological beliefs. RSS was banned once during British rule, and then thrdd of the time by the Post-Independence Indian government, first in 1948 when an RSS member, who claimed to leave RSS in 1946 over ideological dispersion,21 killed Mahatma Gandhi; Then during an emergency (1975-1977); and for the third time since the demolition of Babri Masjid in 1992. The founding of Keshav Baliram Hedgevar RSS was founded in 1925 by Keshav Baliram Hedgevar, a physician in Nagpur, British India. Heddvar was a political protege of B.S. Munier, a congressman from Tilakita, a Hindu politician mahasabha and a public figure from Nagpur. Munier sent Hedgvar to Calcutta to continue his medical education and study military techniques in the secret revolutionary Bengali societies. Hedgvar became a member of the anti-British revolutionary group Anushilan Samiti, getting into her inner circle. Secret methods society were eventually used by him in organizing RSS. Returning to Nagpur, Hedgwar organized anti-British activities through Kranti Dal (Party of the Revolution) and participated in the Home Rule campaign of The Right to Independence activist Tilak in 1918. According to the official history of RSS, he came to understand that revolutionary activities alone are not enough to overthrow the British. After reading the Hindu book by V. D. Savarquare, published in Nagpur in 1923, and meeting Savarkir in Ratnagiri prison in 1925, Hedgvar was influenced by him, and he founded RSS to strengthen Hindu society. Hedgvar believed that a handful of Britons were able to rule the vast country of India because the Hindus were divided, had no valor (pararkram) and were not civil in nature. He hired energetic Hindu youth with revolutionary fervor, gave them the shape of a black forecoat cap, khaki shirt (later a white shirt) and khaki shorts, imitating British police, and taught them paramilitary techniques with lati (bamboo staff), sword, spear and dagger. Hindu ceremonies and rituals played a large role in organizing, not so much to observe religious rites, but also to ensure awareness of India's glorious past and to connect members in religious communion. Hedgvar also held weekly sessions of what he called Baudhik (ideological education), consisting of simple questions to newcomers about the Hindu nation and its history and heroes, especially the warrior King Shivaji. The saffron flag of Shivaji, Bhagwa D najt, was used as the emblem of the new organization. His public tasks included protecting Hindu pilgrims at festivals and countering Hindu processions near mosques. Two years into the organization's life, in 1927, Hedgvar organized an Officer Training Camp to form a corps of key workers, whom he called the Praharaks. He asked volunteers to become sadhu first, giving up professional and family life and dedicating himself to the RSS cause. According to the scholar Christophe Jaffrelo, Hedgvar adopted this doctrine after it was reinterpreted by nationalists such as Aurobindo. The tradition of abdication gave RSS the character of a Hindu sect. The development of the RSS Shah network has been a major concern for Hedgvar throughout his career as head of RSS. The first Pracharaki were responsible for creating as many Shahs as possible, first in Nagpur, then through Maharashtra and eventually in the rest of India. B. Dani was sent to create a shah at Benaras Hindu University, and other universities were also aimed at recruiting new followers among students. Three pracharaks went to Punjab: Appaji Joshi in Sialkot, Moreshwar Munier in DAW in Rawalpindi and Raja Bhau Paturkar at DAV College in Lahore. In 1940, Madhavrao Mouley was appointed Pracharak (regional missionary) in Lahore. The scientists' motives differ in Hedgevar's motivation to form RSS, especially because he never participated in the fight against British rule. Jaffrelot says that RSS was intended to promote hindutva ideology and provide new physical strength for most of the community. An alternative interpretation is that he formed it to fight Indian Muslims. After the death of Tilak in 1920, like other Tilak followers in Nagpur, Hedgvar was against some of the programs adopted by Gandhi. Gandhi's position on the Indian Muslim issue of Hilafat is a concern for Hedgwar, as well as the fact that cow protection is not on the agenda of Congress. This led Hedvar, along with other Tilacs, to part with Gandhi. In 1921, Hedgvar gave a series of lectures in Maharashtra with the slogans Freedom for a year and boycott. He intentionally broke the law, for which he was jailed for a year. After his liberation in 1922, Hedgvar was saddened by the lack of organization among congressional volunteers to fight for independence. Without proper mobilization and organization, he felt that India's patriotic youth would never be able to gain independence for the country. Subsequently, he felt the need to create an independent organization based on the traditions and history of the country. Hindu-Muslim relations The Decade of the 1920s marked a significant deterioration in relations between Hindus and Muslims. The Muslim masses were mobilized by the Hilafat movement, demanding the restoration of the caliphate in Turkey, and Gandhi formed an alliance with him to conduct his own non-cooperative movement. Gandhi sought to create Hindu-Muslim unity in forming an alliance. However, the alliance saw a common enemy rather than a common feud. When Gandhi called off the new movement because of the outbreak of violence, Muslims disagreed with his strategy. After the movements failed, the mobilized Muslims turned their anger on the Hindus. The first major incident of religious violence was reportedly the Moblakh uprising in August 1921, widely reported that the uprising ended in widespread violence against Hindus in Malabar. For several years, a cycle of intercommunal violence has been observed throughout India for several years. In 1923, riots broke out in Nagpur, which Hedgvar called Muslim riots where Hindus felt completely disorganized and panicked. These incidents impressed Hedvar and convinced him of the need to organize a Hindu society. After acquiring about 100 swayamsevaks (volunteers) in RSS in 1927 Hedgvar took the issue to the Muslim field. He led a Hindu procession for Ganesha, bia drums contrary to the usual practice do not pass in front of the mosque with music. On Lakshmi Puja Day on 4 September, Muslims reportedly retaliated. When the Hindu procession reached the mosque in the Mahal nagpur district, the Muslims blocked it. Later in the afternoon, they attacked a Hindu residence in the Mahal area. It is said that RSS staff were ready to attack and beat the Muslim rebels back. The unrest continued for three days and the army had to be called in to quell the violence. The RSS organized Hindu resistance and protected Hindu households while Muslim households had to leave Nagpur en masse for safety. Tapan Basu et al. Muslim aggression and Hindu self-defence are noted in the descriptions of the incident. The above incident significantly increased the prestige of RSS and allowed its subsequent expansion. The stigmatization and emulation of Christophe Jaffrelo points to the theme of stigmatization and emulation in RSS ideology, along with other Hindu nationalist movements such as Arya Samaj and Hindu Mahasabha. Muslims, Christians and Britons were considered foreign bodies implanted into a Hindu nation that could use disunity and lack of prowess among Hindus to subdue them. The solution is to emulate the characteristics of these menacing others, which were thought to give them strength, such as paramilitary organization, emphasis on unity and nationalism. Hindu nationalists combined these emulatory aspects with selective borrowing of traditions from the Hindu past to achieve a synthesis that was uniquely Indian and Hindu. The influence of the Hindu Mahasabha on the Hindu Mahasabhu, which was originally a group with a special interest in the Indian National Congress and then an independent party, was an important influence on RSS, although it is rarely recognized. In 1923, prominent Hindu leaders such as Madan Mohan Malawia met on this platform and expressed their concern about separation in the Hindu community. In his presidential speech in Mahasabha, Malawiya said: Friendship can exist between equals. If the Hindus had made themselves strong and the rowdy were convinced that they could not safely plunder and dishonor the Hindus, unity would be established on a stable basis.
