The RSS has become one of the most consequential political organizations in the world, but it does not fit easily into the buzzwords used about it. It is not a political party, although it helped produce the politicians who run India. It is not a church, although its account of India depends on Hinduism, which can both be a religion and a way of life. It is not a conventional militia, although drills, uniforms and physical discipline have been part of its organizational culture. It runs schools, relief efforts and civic programs, but calling it a charity would be absurd. It has an ideology, but its most important achievement is organizational rather than ideological.
Bhagwat arrived at Madison Square Garden and gave his critics an inconvenient speech. He told Indian Americans that America was now their karmabhumi—the country in which they lived and worked—and that they owed it their loyalty. At a separate faith-leaders conference, he was asked about Muslims in India. “If any Hindu thinks that there should be no Muslims in Bharat,” he replied, “he will not remain Hindu.” Different religious paths, he argued, were compatible with a common humanity and with the civilization the RSS calls Hindu.
There are two ways to process this contradiction. The first is to decide that Bhagwat has exposed the hysterical ignorance of the RSS’s critics. The second is to assume that he was moderating his rhetoric for an American audience. Both explanations may contain glimpses of what the RSS actually is.

Met with citizens at the Shram Shakti Bhavan in New Delhi today, heard their grievances, and assured them of prompt and appropriate action.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Shri B. C. Nagesh, one of Karnataka’s finest Education Ministers. His contribution to the field of education and his dedicated public service will be remembered with respect.
Om Shanti. 🙏

More than 50 personnel have been removed from the agency following recent examination mismanagement.
At the same time, NTA is strengthening its leadership with 10 specialised professional positions across technology, finance, cybersecurity, test security and psychometrics
@JoshiPralhad as Education Minsiter
What decisive administrative action looks like:
Identify the gap
Remove accountability failures
Bring in expertise
Strengthen security
Rebuild trust
India cannot become Viksit Bharat with a Parliament that is constantly prevented from functioning.
Debate Parliament.
Question Government.
Scrutinise legislation.
But let Parliament WORK.
The Monsoon Session 2026 tells a very simple story:
The Government came to Parliament to legislate.
The Opposition came to Parliament to disrupt.
Despite repeated protests, 12 Bills were passed in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
But the real story goes deeper
The Opposition repeatedly demanded discussion on NEET protests.
The Government said: Let us discuss it.
Ministers offered to participate.
The Government agreed to structured discussion.
Yet disruptions continued.
That raises an uncomfortable question.
