The Story in Brief
The Muslim Rashtriya Manch, an affiliate of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), launched its 'Aao Jadon Se Judein' (Connect with Roots) campaign at Rajghat on Sunday. Indresh Kumar, an RSS senior leader and the Manch's chief patron, led the event, which called for brotherhood and shared heritage under the theme 'different faiths, one homeland, one Indian identity'.
The campaign aims to reduce 'growing social distance, mutual distrust and incidents of hatred'. Participants, including academic and religious figures, resolved to strengthen Indian identity and promote dialogue. Kumar stressed that knowing one's roots does not mean belittling other faiths, and clarified the campaign is not about religious conversion or political debate.
The Indian Opinion
The campaign's call for Indianness over religious division is welcome. But the RSS itself often faces accusations of majoritarian bias. The real test is whether this 'hate-free India' push translates into concrete action by the RSS and its affiliates, especially at the ground level where local grievances simmer. Watch for whether the Manch speaks out against specific hate incidents or remains in the realm of general appeals.
