RSS chief clarifies lathi training aims to build bravery and resilience

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat stated that the organization's training with sticks, or 'lathi', is meant to instill bravery and steadfastness, not for fighting. He emphasized that this training helps individuals develop courage and resilience in difficult situations. Speaking at an event in Indore, Bhagwat highlighted the importance of Indian music in promoting harmony and discipline. He noted that traditional music calms the mind and encourages good deeds, contrasting it with music from other cultures that excites the mind. Bhagwat also mentioned that RSS volunteers have created traditional and martial music to showcase India's artistic capabilities. He called for people to join the RSS in efforts to build a stronger nation as the organization approaches its 100th anniversary in 2025.
