RSS Backs Mother Tongue Education, Calls for Peace in Manipur and Tougher Immigration Laws
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the ideological backbone of the ruling BJP, addressed recent language-related controversies on Monday by emphasizing that all Indian languages are national languages and that education should be imparted in the mother tongue. Chief spokesperson Sunil Ambekar reiterated that this stance has long been upheld by the Sangh, aligning with the National Education Policy 2020, which recommends using the mother tongue as the medium of instruction at least until Class 5.
Ambekar’s remarks come amid growing protests against alleged Hindi imposition, particularly in opposition-led states like Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. In Maharashtra, the government recently had to withdraw a directive mandating Hindi as the third language in schools following backlash. Even estranged political rivals Raj and Uddhav Thackeray united to criticize the move.
Speaking at the conclusion of a three-day All India Pracharak meeting, which included senior RSS leaders such as Mohan Bhagwat, Ambekar said discussions mainly focused on organisational matters and preparations for the Sangh’s centenary celebrations starting with Vijaydashami. However, he confirmed that the Manipur crisis was discussed, noting that RSS volunteers are working to promote peace between the Meitei and Kuki communities. He expressed optimism, saying signs of normalcy were returning in the conflict-hit state, which remains under President’s Rule.
The meeting, attended by over 300 functionaries, also reviewed India’s response to the Pahalgam terror attack through Operation Sindoor and recent attacks on Hindu temples abroad. The Sangh praised the government’s shift to treat terror attacks as acts of war and pushed for stronger internal security and stricter action against illegal immigration. There were also renewed calls for a national citizens register to address demographic and security concerns, especially in border areas.
As part of its centenary outreach, the RSS plans to hold Hindu conferences at 1.3 lakh venues nationwide and conduct door-to-door campaigns to engage with people from diverse backgrounds.
