RSS to Rename Hindu Sammelans as Dharam Sammelans in Buddhist Areas of Himachal Pradesh
Short Description : Ahead of its centenary, the RSS plans to rename Hindu Sammelans as Dharam or Bodh Sammelans in Buddhist-majority Lahaul & Spiti and Kinnaur districts of Himachal Pradesh to promote inclusivity.
Long Description : In preparation for its 100th-anniversary celebrations beginning October 2, 2025, the RSS Himachal Pradesh unit is considering renaming its Hindu Sammelans to Dharam Sammelans or Bodh Sammelans in the Buddhist-dominated districts of Lahaul & Spiti and Kinnaur. Sanjay Kumar Ji, Prant Pracharak of RSS Himachal, stated the decision aims to respect the region’s significant Buddhist population, which constitutes about 95% of the state’s total Buddhist community. The final decision awaits consultation with national leadership. This move aligns with broader RSS outreach initiatives under 'Jagran Parv,' focusing on social harmony, environmental protection, and constitutional duties, and aims to engage all communities, including Gen Z, in its centenary events.
