India's RSS marks its 100th anniversary amid its lasting political influence and controversy over Hindu nationalism.
India’s Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is celebrating its 100th anniversary with large events in Nagpur, marking its evolution from a banned group linked to Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination to a dominant force in Indian politics.
The Hindu nationalist organization, whose ideology emphasizes Hindu primacy, played a key role in the 1990s Ayodhya movement that led to the demolition of a mosque and the construction of a Ram temple, now inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a former RSS member.
The RSS and its affiliates influence India’s bureaucracy, media, and culture, while critics say its rhetoric fuels anti-Muslim sentiment despite official denials of violence.
The centenary highlights the group’s enduring political power and ongoing impact on national identity and governance.
