Sangh initiated movements be they social-reformist or anti-secessionist - evoke ready response and approbation from the common multitudes as well as from vast numbers of elite of different shades. It has increasingly been recognized that the Sangh is not a mere reaction to one or another social or political aberration. It represents a corpus of thought and action firmly rooted in genuine nationalism and in the age old tradition of this country. No other movement or institution has attracted such vast numbers of adherents, several thousands of them making social work their lifes mission, whose character and integrity are not doubted even by their most virulent critics. As a movement for national reconstruction totally nurtured by the people, Sangh has no parallel in Bharat or elsewhere. The growth of the Sangh - as a movement for assertion of Bharats national identity - acquires added significance when we remember that the birth of the Sangh was preceded by mental, cultural and economic onslaught by alien rulers for long decades. There could be only one explanation for the continuing march of the Sangh from strength to strength: the emotive response of the millions to the vision of Bharats national glory, based on the noblest values constituting the cultural and spiritual legacy of the land and collectively called Dharma, comprising faith in the oneness of the human race, the underlying unity of all religious traditions, the basic divinity of the human being, complementarities and inter-relatedness of all forms of creation both animate and inanimate, and the primacy of spiritual experience. That the mission of the Sangh is in tune with a millennia old heritage itself carries an irresistible appeal.
