The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) believes that a family or person who contributes even a single rupee for the construction of the Ram temple is influenced by the ideology of Hindutva in one way or the other. About 12.70 crore families of the country have contributed financially for the construction of a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya. That is why the Sangh is looking at the possibilities of its ideological expansion among these families and people. The Sangh will soon try to contact these families by running a campaign and connect them with it in one way or the other.
Its outline has been prepared in the Chitrakoot meeting of the RSS. A senior Sangh functionary told The Daily Guardian that the Sangh is assuming that every person who contributes for the construction of Ram temple agrees with the ideology of Hindutva. The Sangh believes that the Hindutva concept of the family donating for the Ram temple may be slightly different from the Hindutva vision of the Sangh, but an ideological similarity can certainly be found in it.
According to a senior Sangh functionary, the RSS does not believe in an exclusivist concept of Hindutva, in which only a section of the society can associate itself. “The Sangh is working on a strategy to integrate different classes with ideological moorings that may be different at a cursory look but deep down will be ideological similarities. The RSS wants them to join the ideology of the Sangh while adhering to one’s individual characteristics.
According to the RSS leader, the Sangh believes that for the integrity of the country there should be a system connecting all sections of the society, only then the country can be kept united.
At the time of Ram Mandir Nidhi Samarpan Abhiyan, workers visited 545,737 places in the country and contacted 12 crore 47 lakh 21 thousand families.
