SWOT Analysis of RSS — Strengths | Great Hindu

  • tags: no_tag

    RSS
    • He loathed the slavish mentality of the Hindus and sought to activate them.  He was in awe of the revolutionary spirit of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar.  However, as he grew up, Dr. Hedgewar saw revolutionary defects in his icons.  He found out that the revolutionaries were high on emotions and totally disorganised.  Besides, they were not able to rouse the common man.
    • STRENGTH No, 1: SO THIS IS THE STRENGTH NUMBER ONE OF RSS — ITS AUSPICIOUS BEGINNING ON VIJAYADASHAMI DAY.  ALL WEAKENESS — HOWEVER WEAK — AND ALL ENEMIES — HOWEVER POWERFUL — CAN NEVER STOP THE RSS FROM ITS AIM OF A HINDU RASHTRA.

      Strength No. 2: The second strength of RSS is its strong ideological mooring. Advaita Vedanta — unqualified non-duality — happens to be the unstated philosophical position of RSS.

    • Strength No. 3: Strength Number 3 is no doubt the massive organisational infrastructure that has been built across the past 85 years of its existence.  Today, RSS is the world’s largest voluntary service organisation.
    • Today, it is perhaps the only organisation in India that can deliver a nation-wide protest anytime.  Its grassroot activists can stop or make during  an emergency — whether it be a protest or relief or even a political rally.  The people’s strength is there.

      Strength No. 4:  The remote control is the strength number four of this organisation.  

    • Dr. K B Hedgewar had given a famous line: The Sangh won’t do anything.  The Swayamsewak will.  Despite three bans on this organisation, RSS has grown from strength to strength.  That is because the Sangh does not do anything.  It is the swayamsewaks who do it.
    •  Despite its international presence, the RSS does not own even a piece of land.  With its past experience during bans, the organisation has learnt how to buck the law without sounding illegal.
