IS THE SANGH PARIVAR OUT OF TOUCH WITH GEN-Z? RSS chief is holding a mega outreach to connect with Gen-Z. To understand them. That, by itself, is puzzling. After all, the RSS is the world's largest citizen-based voluntary organization. Its gargantuan cadre works in every nook and cranny of this country and therefore, by logical extension, the Sangh should have had its finger on the pulse of crores of Indians. Yet the very need for such an outreach suggests there may be a gap. The Jantar Mantar Gen-Z upsurge appeared to expose the Sangh Parivar's inherent ponderousness and the lack of any credible interlocutor to engage the protestors. This prompts a basic question: Why doesn't the Sangh get Gen-Z? Is it just a function of age? The Sangh top brass is long in the teeth. Its views are often cosseted by the social mores of an era gone by. It is ill at ease with the woke echo chamber that shapes parts of Gen-Z's outlook on life, ambitions, love, sex, gender and much in between. RSS leaders have, over the years, expressed reservations about pre-marital sex and live-in relationships, while the organisation initially opposed the decriminalisation of homosexuality before later saying it did not view homosexuals as criminals and that the issue should be approached as a social one rather than a criminal one. The reaction to this mismatch has been a trifle incongruous, with Sangh "uncles" dismissing the Jantar Mantar protestors as "five-star fringe" that shouldn't be confused with the "real Gen-Z". The "real" Gen-Z for these Sangh ideologues was a sanskari younger version of themselves. Those that paid oblations at religious sites, undertook arduous pilgrimages and contributed to "nation building". But all this answers why the Sangh doesn't get Gen-Z. It doesn't tell us why the saffron parivar didn't see the Gen-Z mood shifting. Here are two possible reasons. First. The feedback loop has, over time, been blinkered by ideology. The Sangh often envisions India through one lens. Perhaps, when it comes to Gen-Z it could think about using a kaleidoscope. The former instinct makes it more likely for it to bracket some grievances as subversion and some protests with suspicion, as seen in its early characterisation of the Jantar Mantar mobilisation. Second. A notion of political invincibility may have convinced sections of the Sangh Parivar that only it knows what's good for the public and the national interest. That's not to say the Sangh isn't prepared to revise its fusty approach. Bhagwat's own outreach is one way of showing that even the Sangh's avuncular top brass is contrite and cares for what Gen-Z thinks. Bhagwat has created an important opportunity for the entire Sangh to open a bridge to Gen-Z. Let's hope the Saffron parivar can narrow the gap with India's future.

VIDEO | On RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's August 6 interaction with Gen Z and Gen Alpha, I.I.M.U.N Founder Rishabh Shah says, "This may be new for many people, but our organisation has been working for the past 15 years. Every year, our culmination event is held in August, between August 1 and August 15. Throughout the year, we organise programmes across India and in several countries for children and young people aged 11 to 19. Today, this age group is referred to as Gen Z and Gen Alpha. The four-day event includes debates and discussions for Gen Z and Gen Alpha participants. On the first day, we host keynote speakers, while the second, third and fourth days are dedicated to debates on local, national and international issues. The same format is followed across 108 cities in India and 15 countries, with the concluding event taking place in August. So, there is nothing unusual about holding it at this time. I understand why this has become such a major topic now, because the discussion is centred around Gen Z. It is also important to note that all 2,000 participants at the event belong to Gen Z. On whether Mohan Bhagwat will attend physically or virtually, Shah adds, "He will attend the event in person. We had previously invited RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat in 2016 and again in 2020 to interact with young people, guide them and share his views, and he attended on those occasions as well. Many prominent personalities from different fields have addressed our platform over the years. Rahul Gandhi has also interacted with the leadership team of I.I.M.U.N. The idea behind this platform is to carry the spirit of Bharatiyata (Indianness) to the next generation..."

#WATCH | Delhi: Speaking at the release ceremony of the book 'RSS@100: A Century of Service, Unity & Sacrifice' at Uprashtrapati Bhavan, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh says, "Every 'Sarsanghchalak' of the Sangh to date has opposed discrimination and untouchability in society... The Sangh has always operated with the spirit of 'Nation First, Always First,' and the result is that the RSS has become the world's largest and financially self-reliant voluntary organisation. Yet, recently, a senior Congress leader asked why the RSS is not registered. Such questions do not merit a response, as the Constitution grants every individual the right to form an organisation... I would like to add that a mother's love requires no license. The values ​​instilled by a 'Guru' do not depend on a government seal. Maa Ganga needs no license to flow. The sun requires no registration to radiate light. Similarly, the RSS is a civilizational force that needs no certification or validation..." He adds, "There is perhaps no other organisation in the world that has operated continuously on such a massive scale and for such a long period without ever splitting... This is a result of both its leadership quality and the core ethos embodied in the sentiment:... 'Everything belongs to the nation; nothing is mine'... You would never see the Sangh boasting about its own work. A fundamental tenet of the Sangh is indifference to fame... When the time came to celebrate its centenary, the RSS maintained that it was an occasion for introspection and self-reflection rather than mere celebration... The Sangh marked this milestone by taking five pledges ('Panch Pran'). The objective of these pledges is to build a society that is grounded in values ​​('sanskar'), capable, self-reliant, environmentally conscious, and mindful of its duties. I believe these five pledges constitute the five pillars of a developed India."
