Mohan Bhagwat’s Response:

In his speech, Mohan Bhagwat directly addressed Kalli Purie’s observations. He stated, “Change in society is possible only when it reflects in the life of a swayamsevak. Knowledge alone is not enough. Transformation requires discipline, example, and practice.” On the issue of women’s representation, he elaborated, “Wherever swayamsevaks are, women are also present. For women, the Rashtra Sevika Samiti, a fully women-led organization established in 1936, operates in parallel. In many regions, women are part of decision-making processes, invited to key meetings, and their proposals are incorporated. Fifty percent of society cannot be excluded.” He added that processes may vary across states but described this as a reflection of the RSS’s adaptable and evolving nature.
