Now the electioneering of BJP is being conducted by Rastriya Syam Sewak Sangh. Now let us not say that RSS is just a cultural organization and BJP is independent political party and not part of saffron brigade.

One months back, before these elections, it was announced by RSS that, as political parties are criticizing, RSS directly, their cadres will openly, involve in campaigning, it is an open secret, as RSS and BJP are same, and RSS is a cultural organization, and BJP leaders have great respect for their mother organization.
RSS only does not particpate in elections but is fully involved in politics and BJP is part of their circle. I don't know what cultural activities this body does.
Schools, helping victims during natural disasters, guard the streets and make it safe even in nights for ladies, at BJP or NDA ruled states, giving free foods, and other conveniences to pilgrims during religious journeys, giving free books and dresses, old age homes, trying to unite all Hindu people, Decolonization of Dadra, Nagar Haveli and Goa RSS has proved to be the major force, movement against emergency, large scale participation with Bhave, to make success of land movement, advocated dalits and other backward classes as temple priests, stopping forced conversions. During father of nation's visit to RSS camp in 1934 he was surprised to see no untouchability among Hindus there, and from there he began his movement against untouchability. Ambedkar in 1939 saw swyayma sevakas are moving and eating together while enquiring abt. casts, all these spell on these two leaders to prompt for reforms.
RSS was prominent in 1971, 1999 and 2013 Odisha cyclone and 1977 Andhra cyclones. RSS works heavily in 2001 Gujrat earthquakes. Seva Vharati its affiliate helps victims during 2004 Indian Ocean earthquakes, even their worst critics acknowledged their work, there are many social works they are doing cannot be written here as all these can be constructed as an article, there are many more social activities, one can find from internet.
All organizations do some social work otherwise they will have no root. Even the wicked rapists 'religious saints' indulge in social work. Even the 'spiritual' Christian organizations have to do some social educational, health services activities in order to remain relevant. This does not alter the basic character. Even the biggest cheat and tax evaders have 'charitable activities' to his credit Even dacoits are known for 'social work'.
RSS is no doubt credited with some social work. But this cannot coneal the fascist and communal face of the organization. Then some fact about 'social work'. My colleague is RSS worker and is active in 'Matri Chhhaya'- an RSS outfit. This outfit looks after deserted infants and arranges their adoption in 'Hindu families'. On the face of it, this is very noble work. But what is the purpose? My colleague says that if his outfit did not work, the child would be served by 'Missionaries of charity' and become 'Christian. May be some Muslim may adopt. This is real purpose- to avoid adoption of helpless deserted child by non Hindu. There is thus communal bias even in welfare and social work.
In India and the world over Islam is the fastest growing Religion and also the most violent one ! Christianity is a mere 2% of the population in India and from what I have seen, they are a peace loving religion who dont retaliate in a violent manner even when there is provocation unlike the muslims do ! So a few conversions here and there doesnt really matter! It is afterall the individuals choice what religion or faith he wants to identify with...As long as they remain patriotic these things have little relevance ! It is only the politicians who manipulate people by bringing up and raking these issues ...
