At the Sarv Sanatan Samaj’s Virat Hindu Sammelan, Parande dissected the betrayal of constitutional safeguards. ‘The ST quota was crafted to preserve tribal worship, customs, and identity. Yet, converts are devouring it, leaving authentic Adivasis high and dry,’ he charged.

Delving into broader threats, Parande highlighted alarming population trends: Hindus diminishing while others multiply. With the world boasting numerous Muslim and Christian states, he stressed Hindus must fiercely guard their heritage in India and Nepal.

Drawing from history, he celebrated Hinduism’s timeless resilience, from Lord Ram’s exile to the triumphant Ram Mandir, built with sacred earth from Jharkhand’s villages. ‘Every Hindu must rise to defend our culture,’ he implored.

Parande spotlighted historical injustices, like Kartik Oraon’s rejected push to exclude converts from quotas. RSS’s Gopal Sharma followed, reminding attendees of millennia-old invasions that splintered society through caste divisions sown by outsiders. Founded in 1925 on Vijayadashami, RSS marks its centenary in 2025, a milestone of Hindu resurgence. ‘Unity across castes will fortify India against ongoing fragmentation attempts,’ Sharma vowed, as the crowd, including VHP district chief Vinod Jaiswal and others, pledged solidarity.

The event in Garhwal Basti began with sacred rituals, transitioning into discussions on preserving traditions against contemporary threats. By conducting sessions in accessible neighborhoods, organizers ensured maximum outreach to the masses.

Leading the proceedings, Hira Singh Rana addressed the pain inflicted by ongoing assaults on Hindu faith, particularly via online platforms. He lauded the RSS’s proactive stance in rallying the community.

Echoing these sentiments, Hemraj Singh Atri stressed the conferences’ role in awakening awareness on ecology, devotion, and social cohesion. With youth increasingly disconnected from rituals, he argued these forums are vital for reconnecting with roots and fortifying unity. The RSS’s milestone year underscores a broader movement toward cultural revival.
