RSS Global Outreach Intensifies Amid Centenary Celebrations
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has significantly intensified its global outreach initiatives, particularly through its overseas wing, the Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS), coinciding with its centenary year celebrations that began in 2024 and extended through 2025 and into 2026. This extensive effort aims to counter perceived misinformation and present what the organisation calls "the real side of the India story" to international audiences. Senior RSS leaders, including Sarkaryavah Dattatreya Hosabale, have engaged in dialogues and conferences in countries like the United States, explaining the organisation's ideology and vision for India's role on the global stage. Activities abroad encompass cultural programmes, community service, and establishing branches, while domestic outreach includes numerous Hindu Sammelans and door-to-door campaigns.
