RSS and the Indian National Flag History

From 1950 to 2002,

the RSS why didn't they hoist the flag at their national headquarters? Why did they?

Why didn't they? So, I want to know,

किसने नहीं किया?

From 1950 to 2002, why didn't the RSS hoist the Indian flag at its national

RSS ने अपने नेशनल हेडक्वार्टर पर इंडियन फ्लैग क्यों नहीं होस्ट किया?

headquarters? I see.

So, every year on 15 August and 26 January, we hoist the flag

जहाँ हैं वहाँ फ्लैग होस्टिंग करते हैं।

Here, there is one campus in Reshimbagh and one in Mahal.

Flag hoisting takes place at both locations.

People shouldn't ask us this question, because let me tell you about an incident.

क्योंकि एक घटना मैं बताता हूँ।

The flag of independent India will be a tricolor.

And the Congress flag will also be a tricolor.

At that time, Congress was the only major political organization, and everyone

else was under its umbrella.

So, this was decided in 1933 in Faizpur, near Jalgaon.

The Congress session was held there.

For the first time, On an 80- foot- high pole,

80 फुट ऊँचे पोल पर जवाहरलाल नेहरू जी के हाथ में

रस्सी देकर ध्वज फहराया गया, लेकिन वो बीच में लटक गया।

There were about 10,000 people. What to do now?

One had to climb 40 feet high.

One had to climb the bamboo pole.

So a young man came running and climbed up.

He untangled the knot, took the flag to the top, and came down.

ध्वज को ऊपर तक ले गया, नीचे आ गया।

The people cheered and lifted him on their shoulders.

Jawaharlal Nehru patted his back.

He said," Come to the session tomorrow,

some people went and told him that he attends the Sangh's shakha. So,

तो

it didn't happen.

Here, Dr. Hedgewar came to know about it.

He traveled and went there.

वहाँ गए।

And a small brass pot was given to him

as a reward, and he patted his back.

His name was Kisan Singh Rajput.

He passed away seven years ago. I met him twice.

मैं उनको दो बार मिला।

So, the first time there was an obstacle in hoisting the flag, since then,

the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is connected with the honor of this flag.

इस ध्वज के सम्मान के साथ जुड़ा है।

It's about hoisting the flag for two days, and we

are doing that too. But whether they hoist it or not, wherever the question

जहाँ-जहाँ इस ध्वज के सम्मान का प्रसंग आता है,

हमारा स्वयंसेवक अपने प्राण भी देने के लिए

has been at the forefront and will continue to be.

This is for sure.

Because, because it is the symbol of India's

sovereign authority.

In East Bengal, when the Bangladesh war

started, then, there is an outpost

रायगंज के आगे एक चौकी है।

Suddenly, the Bangladeshi army started approaching there.

आने लगी।

There were BSF soldiers there. But they were unaware.

लेकिन उनको खबर नहीं थी।

Our chief instructor there,

उसने देखा, उसने जाके अलर्ट किया।

So the soldiers said, " Ahead, we

आगे हमने

have dug a trench, and the ammunition boxes kept there need to be brought quickly.

So, we are on the defensive right now.

हम अभी डिफेन्स में हैं।

So only two people can go, we need a third."

So he went with the soldiers to bring those boxes.

And while bringing the boxes, he was martyred.

वो शहीद हो गया।

We have built a small memorial for him there.

And an annual event is held there on that day.

So, this is the tradition of our Sangh volunteers.

Wherever it is a question of the country's honor, or a question of the national

राष्ट्रध्वज के सम्मान का प्रश्न है,

flag's honor, you will find us at the forefront to fight and lay down our lives.
