The Story in Brief
The annual Akhil Bharatiya Samanvay Baithak, a coordination meeting of 32 organisations inspired by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), will be held at Gudilova in Visakhapatnam district from August 19 to 21. RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale and senior office-bearers of affiliates including the BJP, Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh and Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad will attend.
The meeting will discuss public welfare and policy issues such as population imbalance, de-addiction, youth awareness, implementation of 'Panch Parivartan' and the Bharatiya concept of development. Sources told the New Indian Express that topics related to Gen Z will also figure in the discussions. Participating organisations will present updates on their activities and share suggestions on issues of national importance, the RSS said.
The Indian Opinion
RSS coordination meetings are often painted as secret planning sessions for a Hindu majoritarian agenda. But the listed agenda, de-addiction, youth awareness, population imbalance, is barely different from what any social-work NGO would discuss. The real test is whether the Gen Z issues reportedly added this year produce more than rhetoric. Will the 32 affiliates come out with specific programmes, or is this just another annual talk shop where the Sangh reviews its vast network without concrete follow-through? The question is valid whichever side you sit on.
