RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s latest comments on Gen Z protests must be seen in this context. The interventions by the RSS chief typically acknowledge the government’s broad direction while identifying deficiencies in implementation, communication or political strategy. The latest remarks were apparently aimed at cautioning the BJP leadership about its attitude towards the youth. His call for greater investment in education and meaningful engagement with the youth highlights the urgent need for institutional reforms rather than dismissive rhetoric. The RSS is not only reaching out to the young generation but also showing the BJP how to go about it.
