Jamal Siddiqui said, “Looking at Hedgewar ji’s contributions- such as active participation in freedom struggle, the amazing ability of organization building and the dream of an India, it would be absolutely suitable to give Bharat Ratna. This honor will not only recognize their sacrifice, but will also inspire volunteers engaged in service work across the country. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar was born on 1 April 1889 in Nagpur. He founded the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in 1925. This organization is completing its 100 years on the day of Vijayadashami on October 2 this year.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also attended the ceremony held at Dr. Ambedkar International Center in Delhi today on the occasion of this centenary year of RSS. The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) has given this information. In this program, the Prime Minister also released a special postage stamp and Smriti Sikka, which will show the RSS’s alleged contribution to the nation.

PM mentions RSS in ‘Mann Ki Baat’
Addressing the country at the ‘Mann Ki Baat’ program, Prime Minister Modi appreciated the ‘unprecedented and inspirational’ journey of RSS and its founder Hedgewar. PM Modi himself has been associated with RSS first. He said that when the RSS was established 100 years ago, India was stuck in the chains of slavery.
He said, ‘The slavery of centuries had hurt our self-respect and self-confidence deeply. The world’s oldest civilization was going through a crisis of identity. Our citizens were falling prey to inferiority complex. At such a time, revered Hedgewar ji established the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in 1925 on the auspicious occasion of Vijayadashami. After the death of Hedgewar ji, Guruji carried forward this great service work.
