RSS changes its uniform: Brown full pants to replace Khaki shorts

Nagaur, Rajasthan

The traditional khaki shorts worn by RSS swayamsevaks will now be replaced bybrown-colored trousers. A decision in this regard has been taken in a meeting in Rajasthan’s Nagaur district.

Shri Bhaiyyaji Joshi has made official announcement in this regard today. He said, “in common life full pants are used by people and we have accepted it. We are the people who walk along with the society.”

A change in uniform was very much on the agenda of Akhil Bhartiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS), the highest decision-making body of RSS, which is meeting in Nagaur.

The issue of change in uniform, which was taken up in a meeting of ABPS in 2010, was deferred till 2015 due to a lack of consensus. The apex body has now taken a decision on the same.

RSS members currently sport khaki shorts and white full- sleeve shirts folded up to the elbow, besides black caps, as part of their ‘ganvesh’.
