Nagpur: Thousands of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) workers will gather for ‘shastra pooja’ on the occasion of Vijay Dashami at Nagpur, sporting their newly adopted brown-pants, instead of their traditional khaki half pants, that remained the symbol of the right-wing group for decades.

Over 20 thousand swayamsevaks are expected to witness the event on October 11, in presence of Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat.

The Sangh had in March this year decided to do away with Khaki shorts, trademark dress for their cadres for 91 years, at the three-day annual meeting of Akhil Bhartiya Pratinidhi Sabha, the highest decision-making body of RSS, held in Nagaur.

The day chosen for adopting the new outfit is significant, as the RSS was formed on Vijay Dashmi in 1925. (27 September 1925). The first change was brought about in 1939, when the Khaki shirt was replaced with white shirt.-ANI
