    The RSS: A history

    The RSS: A history
  • Keshav Baliram Hedgewar established the RSS as a volunteer organization to promote national values in 1925.

    It proclaims its ideal as upholding Indian culture and civilizational values more than anything else.

    Despite popular misconceptions, there are several Muslim as well as Christian members of the RSS, according to their official website.

    Today there are RSS shakhas or centers in over 50,000 villages across India.

  • Information

    Banned four times since inception

  • The RSS was banned four times since its inception. First in 1940 under the British rule, then in 1948 after the assassination of M.K. Gandhi, in 1975 during the emergency period and in 1992 after the Babri Masjid demolition.

    How did the RSS uniform evolve?

    How did the RSS uniform evolve?
  • The first uniform of the RSS consisted of khaki shorts, khaki shirt and a khaki cap.

    In 1930, a black khaki cap was introduced.

    In 1940, the British banned the RSS, perceiving it as a threat to British interests in India.

    The RSS then, dropped the khaki shirt (similar to police uniforms of the British raj) and replaced it with white shirts.

  • Information

    Last time the uniform was changed

  • In 2011, the RSS decided to do away with the leather belts that were standard issue for their uniforms. They were replaced by those made of thick canvas as they were cheaper and easy to maintain.
