The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has commenced a significant three-day Akhil Bharatiya Samanvay Baithak in Palakkad, Kerala, bringing together around 300 key figures, including RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat, BJP leaders JP Nadda, and BL Santhosh. This event, the first of its kind in Kerala, aims to discuss social harmony, national issues including caste dynamics and violence in West Bengal, and future plans for social transformation and environmental conservation as the RSS approaches its centenary year in 2025. The Baithak is notable for its strict regimentation, with attendees participating in communal activities and discussions without outside distractions. Discussions will address recent significant events and strategies for enhancing cooperation among the 32 affiliated organizations present. The event is closely watched due to its timing post-2024 Lok Sabha elections and the ongoing tension between the RSS and BJP.
