The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is set to hold its prestigious All India Executive Board meeting in Indore from November 2 to 4. This significant annual gathering will bring together the top brass of the organization to chart out future courses and review current initiatives during a pivotal period for the Sangh.

The scale of the meeting is expansive, as Sanghchalaks, Karyavahaks, and Pracharaks representing all 11 regions and 46 Prants of the organization are expected to be present.
Centenary Celebrations and National Agenda
A primary focus of the Indore meeting will be the RSS’s centenary year celebrations. The board will review the various activities and programs currently being rolled out across the country to mark this historic milestone.
Beyond the organizational milestones, the leadership will engage in extensive deliberations on a wide array of contemporary national and international challenges. Key topics on the agenda include:
- Internal Unrest: A review of ongoing protests across the country.
- Digital Influence: The impact and nature of content being spread via new media platforms.
- Social Menaces: The growing challenge of drug abuse within society.
- External Threats: Concerns regarding interference by foreign forces and the shifting global geopolitical landscape.
Mohan Bhagwat’s Stance on Protests and Stability
The upcoming meeting follows recent remarks by RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat during the centenary-year Vijayadashami function at Reshimbagh ground in Nagpur. Addressing global instability, Bhagwat noted that "regime change has neither happened nor will it happen," specifically referencing recent developments and protests in Bangladesh, Nepal, Albania, and France.
The Balance Between Protest and Law
While acknowledging that protests stemming from social shortcomings and systemic issues are natural, Bhagwat emphasized the necessity of maintaining order. He stressed that three key groups—the protesters, the administration, and political leaders—must strictly adhere to the Constitution, the law, and the standards of civility.
"Social participation and mutual dialogue must increase. We also have a responsibility to run society and the country," Bhagwat stated, warning that movements alone cannot easily resolve deep-seated problems.
The RSS Chief further cautioned that when protests are driven by ulterior motives, they transition into political tools that can deepen social hostility and be exploited by forces working against the interests of the country. He urged that demonstrations must remain within constitutional boundaries to ensure they do not divide society.
