Honourable Sarsanghchalak,
I considered Rastriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) exclusively an ancient Hindu national religious box of life that generates power of national politics and prides in the country to be known as the largest democracy in the world; incidentally, last year, it proudly overgrew China out of its position of most populous country in the world.
Not long ago in December 2025, at a Hindu Samelan in Sonpairi village in Chhattisgarh, you publicly declared a very welcome broad idea surprisingly that “the entire country belongs to everyone” and advised people “not to look at the RSS with the political eye of the BJP.”
This year also, at Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar on this centenary year of RSS, January 17, 2026, you boldly pronounced at the Jan Sangoshthi, the necessity of eliminating the caste system from India—an issue Mahatma Gandhi woefully wrote: ‘the low castes obediently obeying the higher Castes, would get blessings from heaven’.
No Naga could have the privilege of such a blessing from heaven; the British history chroniclers recorded: “every man does that which is right in his own eyes, a purest democracy which is difficult to conceive existing even for a single day, yet it does exist here is an undeniable fact” and “among themselves they live peaceably in their own villages.” No Naga mind ever imagines castes in his head.
Some people claim: “the caste system in India grew over a 1000 years due to foreign dominations: 800 years of the Muslim and 200 of the colonial white man”; yet the system was prevalent in the people from a very early date and the eradication from the mind despite the constitutional abolition, may be more daunting than its elimination in practice; only a declaration by the Sarsanghchalak of Rastriya Swayamsevak Sangh in the public domain for the removal of the evil system, would make any powerful impact on the Hindu mind in India or the migrated outside. If the system migrates to Indian communities outside, it may become inerasable.
You recent pronouncement: “To end this discrimination, one must eradicate caste from the mind. If this is done honestly, caste discrimination will be eradicated within 10 to 12 years” is of value measureless. The greatest values of life of equality, justice and freedom of religion, are universally common to all humans, enshrined in the constitution Preamble of India.
Yet, the minority communities of India like Dalits, Christians and Muslims are unconscionably and arrogantly, violently and helplessly, maltreated by dominant Hindu organisation members taping power from the image of your organisation everywhere in India today as if the minorities do not belong to the country and are not entitled to the democratic values of man to them.
On December 25, 2025, the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi, despite his busy official engagements, made a very welcome gesture of attending the Christmas celebration in a church in Delhi, but elsewhere in other places of India, lawless groups strongly connected with the ruling power of the places vandalised churches, roughed-up church congregations in progress, broke up church services, as if they don’t care about the Prime Minister’s morally decent example.
I read your speeches and reports in the newspapers and appreciate the depth of your knowledge, wisdom and your conscionable ethics, which prompted me, write this communication openly to request you to inform all the group members under your organisations never to use violence on innocent, unresisting helpless people on pain of the Law of the land.
I believe there is a great chance for hope in the elimination of caste intolerance in the India: I hear the term of the Sarsanghchalak of the Rastriya Swayamsevak Sangh is lifetime, and fortunately you have the unique privilege to be remembered by history more than the Mahatma, for the removal of the daunting undesirable practice. I hope such a communication from you would necessarily be highly respected by all concerned.
Thank you, honourable Sarsanghchalak.
Yours sincerely,
