Why is RSS not registered? Asking this is either ignorance or politics
The article raises concerns about potential legal and constitutional violations by a powerful organization.
Priyank Kharge, the Karnataka Home Minister, has demanded that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) provide its registration certificate. However, Mohan Bhagwat, the RSS chief, dismissed this as "politics" and refused to respond. The article argues that the RSS has operated in India for over a century without registering, citing constitutional provisions and historical precedents. It also points out that the organization's funding model is based on voluntary donations (Guru Dakshina) which are exempt from taxation under Indian law. The author concludes that Kharge's demand lacks merit and stems from political motivations.
