Goodbye knickers, hello trousers: RSS agrees on uniform change

March 12, 2016 22:01

In the biggest makeover the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has witnessed in its history, the unique khaki knickers will make way for trousers to help the organization achieve resonance with the youth.

Highly places sources in the RSS have told India Today that a decision on uniform change has been agreed on at the three-day meeting of the Akhil Bhartiya Pratinidhi Sabha, which is underway in Nagaur, Rajasthan.

A formal announcement about the decision will be made during a press conference tomorrow.

For many decades the loose fitting, flappy khakhi knickers have been the most visible manifestation of RSS volunteers.

A large section of the RSS now feels that the time has come to move on from the khakhi shorts but some old timers continue to hold out saying that there is no need to be swayed by fashion trends.
