Rss Shorts To Pants

Bihar politician Lalu Yadav, a fierce critic of the RSS, credits his wife Rabri Devi for the organisation's big sartorial revamp from khaki shorts to trousers.

From today the RSS volunteers with cast away the khaki shorts, their trademark attire for 90 years, and don trousers, heralding a generational change in the organisation which is ruling BJP's ideological mentor.

With the RSS deciding to go in for a sartorial change from its trademark half pants to trousers, new sets of uniform will be provided to its volunteers ahead of the foundation-day celebrations on the Vijayadashami day on October 11, at its headquarters in Nagpur and other centres across the country.

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's new khaki pants were delivered today at its shop that sells uniforms near its headquarters in Nagpur, Maharashtra. 10,000 of them in the first batch, each for Rs 250.

Eight men and 20 women have been hard at work at Akola village -- 80 km from Chittorgarh town. They have to deliver 10 lakh trousers by July - well in time for them to be worn on Vijaya Dashami, the 91st foundation day of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the ideological mentor of the BJP.

RJD chief Lalu Prasad has credited his wife and former chief minister Rabri Devi for the change in RSS' dress code from khaki shorts to trousers.

India's largest and most strident Hindu nationalist organization, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, is changing. No, not its core beliefs of Hindu supremacist pride. But its dress code.

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's traditional khaki shorts could soon be replaced by full-length pants.
