Need to tap younger generation, says RSS chief

Rashtriya Swayam Sevaksangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday asked members of the organisation to tap the younger generation for propagation on Hindu culture and values.

He said that there was huge potential in large population of youth in the country which should be made to understand the ideology of RSS not by mere talks but by setting up examples and practice of traditions.

"The ideology of RSS is not new as if we had invented it. We are not founders of Hindutava, it has been there for ages and is integral part of over culture," Bhagwat said during a function held in Ahmedabad to felicitate three retiring trustees of weekly magazine 'Sadhna' based on RSS ideology.
 

"What we are talking about is not new, only thing is we are facing new challenges which has to be tackled differently in line with the ideology. The scenarios may be new with new challenges but the direction we need to take remains the same," he elaborated on the saffron outfit's role in society.

He pointed out that there was huge potential in the younger generation which has a large population. "I have experienced that young generation is more attracted to patriotism and we need to tap them. Mere words cannot make difference. They need to be made to understand (RSS ideology) through example," Bhagwat said.

According to the RSS chief, words with out any meaning was of not use. He emphasised on the need to first practice the values of RSS and they propagate it among the youth who could then be more receptive.
