RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s attempt to reinvent the image of the organisation may appear commendable on the face of it. But this has to be matched by a genuine change of heart among RSS and BJP cadre. Otherwise this will remain glib talk aimed at managing headlines before elections.

In principle and theory, Mr.Mohan Bhagwat RSS Chief has outclassed and outsmarted duo of NaMo-Amit Shah so far as creation of a very positive, optimistic and constructive perception of Future India is concerned !
Only time will unfold whether Mr.Bhagwat really and sincerely means it in letter and spirit too !
If and in case RSS , BJP and their other allied wings translate Mr.Bhagwat’s aspirations into actuality then India can certainly turn into” Ram Rajya “and ” Heaven” on earth !
If these are only imaginary ones , only aimed at improving sulking, sagging and tarnished image of BJP in wake of ensuing assembly elections in four states and then Lok Sabha polls due next year, then it will tantamount to betrayal of faith of the citizens of India and Indians living abroad and the reputation of RSS itself as well !
But so far ground realities portray a dark and gloomy picture, as if Bhagwat’s views have not made an iota of impact on RSS,BJP and other allied Hindutva Organisations!
We can only wish now , “Let Us Hope For The Best” !
