Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh .History
RSS was founded in 1925 by Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, who was a doctor in the city of Nagpur, British India.[20] Hedgewar as a medical student in Calcutta (now known as Kolkata) had been a part of the revolutionary activities of the Anushilan Samiti and Jugantar striving to free India from British rule.[21] He had been charged with sedition in 1921 by the British Administration and was imprisoned for one year.[22]
Hedgewar was educated by his elder brother. He then decided to study medicine in Calcutta, West Bengal. He was sent there by B. S. Moonje in 1910 to pursue his medical studies. There he lived with Shyam Sundar Chakravarthy[23] and learned the techniques of fighting from secret revolutionary organisations like the Anushilan Samiti and Jugantar in Bengal. He is said to have joined Anushilan Samiti and he had contacts with revolutionaries like Ram Prasad Bismil.[24]
Previously he was involved in such type of revolutionary activities, this fact has been disclosed by so many writers viz. C. P. Bhishikar,[25] M. S. Golwalkar,[26] K. S. Sudarshan[27] and Rakesh Sinha.[28]
After completing his studies and graduating, he returned to Nagpur, inspired by the armed movement. In his memoirs, the third chief of RSS, Balasahab Deoras narrates an incident when Hedgewar saved him and others from following the path of Bhagat Singh and his comrades.[29] Later he left the revolutionary organisations in the year 1925 and formed the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
Since Hedgewar was primarily associated with the Hindustan Republican Association,
he adopted the full constitution of erstwhile HRA and implemented it
forcibly in his newly established organisation RSS later on. The RSS
first met in 1925 just after two months of Kakori train robbery in a small ground of Nagpur with 5-6 persons on Vijaya Dashami.
After the formation of the RSS, Hedgewar kept the organisation away
from having any direct affiliation to any of the political organisations
then fighting British rule.[31] But Hedgewar and his team of volunteers, took part in the Indian National Congress, led movements against the British rule. Hedgewar was arrested in the Jungle Satyagraha agitation in 1931 and served a second term in prison.[22][21][32]
During ppWorld War II]] RSS leaders openly admired Adolf Hitler.[33] Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar, who became the supreme leader of the RSS after Hedgewar, drew inspiration from Adolf Hitler's ideology of race purity.[34] RSS leaders were supportive of the Jewish State of Israel, including Savarkar himself, who supported Israel during its formation.[35] While Golwalkar admired Jews for maintaining their "religion, culture and language".[36]
