For all who might had heard RSS in lots of conversations but don't have a clue of what it is except from some details from wikipedia etc. The below detailed ground reality is what I have seen - RSS workers are volunteers (not paid members), their Shakha members/volunteers are educated people working as Professor/HOD of major prominent Universities such as HOD of History and Political Science in Punjab University, Chandigarh; HOD of Computer Science in Thapar University, Patiala; Executive Engineer in Punjab Electricity Board; senior IAS/IPS officers in central/state governments. All these educated people are volunteers of Rashtriya Swavemsewak Sangh (RSS) which has its shakha classes wearing its traditional dress in morning approx. 06:00 AM. This is the place where they meet together to discuss various issues including political, economic, religious, military etc. along with various other meetings they hold during evenings etc. I would like to confess that the intellectual man-power under one umbrella is one of RSS core strengths which unfortunately is missing in SIKHS. SIKHS on the contrary are divided to such an extent that as small as one family or some group of families owning their own Jathebandi. We have numerous Siromani Akali Dal's and Taksal's and we are not united even for SARBAT KHALSA. Also, Sikhs on the contrary don't volunteer to brainstorm any of these issues under a common umbrella. . The principle and guidance of Guru Gobind Singh Jee Maharaj instructing KHALSA to remain "Tyaar Bar Tyaar" and become Shashtar Dhari might had been lost by Sikhs but RSS has adopted this teachning from Guru Gobind Singh Jee Maharaaj very well. Some of the senior RSS spokesperson I met during 1995 in Patiala Punjab had complete knowledge of Dasam Granth Sahib and had also read Chandi Charitar, Bachitar Natak. Recent militant marches by RSS demonstrating guns etc. is evident of above. RSS is a very well organised group of more than 1 Crore volunteers working under one umbrella working towards a single unified goal for the past 60 years - a single unified HINDU country with boundaries extending and including Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Burma, Pakistan, Afghanistan and even Iran. They call all of this land of mass as one HINDU nation. For the first time in history of India since independence, RSS has been able to create furors by banning BEEF in lots of states in India and sending a terror message by hook or crock to convert India to a Hindu nation. On the contrary, SIKHS are still struggling to get a small land mass as KHALISTAN and add more to this, the number of people in Punjab (India) currently working towards even this small KHALISTAN is near to none (How much proportion we will give to SAD (Mann) group?). RSS has a dedicated group known as Rashtriya Sikh Sangat (the new Chief Secretary Harcharan Singh of SGPC) is a member of Rashtriya Sikh Sangat. RSS is expert to intrude spy's into Muslim/Sikh world via such techniques. RSS has dedicated intelligence, writers and working groups (all organised working as departments like in a professional MNC) working on specified daily/monthly/yearly goals as to how to achieve the one HINDU NATION GOAL. Currently RSS goal is to convert current India boundaries single HINDU NATION by 2021, this can be achieved by either a complete massacre of existing minorities of India such as Muslims, Sikhs, Christians and Dalits OR converting these to Hinduism. SIKHS are anyway termed by RSS as KESHDHARI HINDUS and the reason Guru Gobind Singh Jee created KHALSA (according to RSS) is for protection of HINDUS. I am not sure how many of us are aware that the conversion of religion bill has been recently implemented. On the contrary, SIKHS goal of KHALISTAN as we listen or discuss is purely rhetoric and we don't have any clue as to how we achieve it. SFJ is doing good in this space but how many supporters it has? Conclusion and honest opinion - Currently SIKHS are politically too weak and divided as compared to a well organised group of intellectuals (IAS/IPS/Professors/Doctors/Engineers/Business-man etc.) working towards a single unified goal of a single Hindu country by 2021 under one umbrella organisation (RSS). We all might have came across the name RSS in lots of debates, FB posts but if we are unaware of what it is, this post might be helpful. I will be glad where I can be corrected or more information can be added. It is good to be aware of a group we talk about a lot and know ground realities about it.
