RSS Redefines Hindutva: Evolving 'Hindu-ness' Not Rigid 'Ism'

• RSS marks its centenary in 2025, coinciding with the completion of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, highlighting its historical role in the Ram Janmabhoomi Movement.
• Founded in 1925 by Dr Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, RSS has shown unique adaptability and consistent expansion over 100 years, with stable leadership transitions.
• Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat defines Hindutva as an evolving 'Hindu-ness,' not a fixed 'ism,' quoting Dr S Radhakrishnan on its non-uniform, unalterable nature.
• Suresh Soni emphasizes that Hindutva resists a single, rigid definition, viewing definitions as conceptual tools within an evolving continuum, like life or human rights.
• Arun Kumar highlights Hindutva's 'spiritual democracy,' accepting all paths as equal and integrating spirituality with prosperity and the pursuit of perfection in all fields.

Why It Matters: RSS leaders define Hindutva as an adaptable, evolving 'Hindu-ness' rooted in spiritual democracy, not a rigid doctrine.
