Behind RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat's Gen Z OutreachWhile RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat’s Gen Z Outreach carries a strong element of ensuring that common voters do not lose trust and confidence in the Sangh Parivar, it was also aimed at attempting to split students and youth along class linesIn this Amrit Kaal, when justice for Dalits, Muslims, common people, and especially students and youth, remains elusive, RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat’s interaction with over 2,000 Gen Z and Gen Alpha students in Mumbai, in which he emphasised that youth protesters are not “anti-national” and that their grievances are genuine, has indeed come as a surprise. A closer look at the interaction would reveal that Bhagwat’s engagement with Gen Z students at the IIMUN Annual Conference in Mumbai was primarily a political damage-control exercise. Traditional ideological strongholds face long-term challenges if younger demographics—comprising hundreds of millions of Gen Z and Gen Alpha individuals—become alienated from the ruling establishment. Bhagwat’s outreach was not a routine exercise, as projected by his supporters. He described the younger generation as an “honest generation” and stated that he would trust Gen Z blindly.
