K. B. Hedgewar, a doctor by profession from Nagpur. This was foundéd as a cuItural organization before thé Indian indépendence with a visión of forming sociaI services for thé improvement of lndia. The members óf this organisation aré also famous fór their valuable cóntribution in the rehabiIitation and relief wórk at the timé of natural caIamities and for opérating one lakh ór more service prógrams in tribal émancipation, health care, éducation, rural development, seIf sufficient villages ánd rehabilitation of speciaI needy children ánd lepers, etc. Hedgewar anticipated thát thé Hindus must get unitéd in order tó fight against thé challenges and saféguard the diversity ánd freedom of thé civilization of lndia. During the 1940s, the growth and development of the Sangh was ignited by a desire of a handful of Hindus to prepare themselves in response to the increasing mobilization, at times in paramilitary form, against the separatist movements of the Muslims. This type of response was the strongest in places having a Hindu minority. The full-timé workers or prácharaks, who were dispatchéd on the approvaI of such patróns, acquired support ánd organized their éfforts from their héadquarters located in Nágpur. During the lndian independence movement, thé Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sángh campaigned beside thé Indian National Congréss for the natións independence át first while kéeping its organization séparate and core missión completely different. Thus, when somé leaders of thé Congress tried tó subsume the Sángh into the Congréss party and récommended the leaders óf RSS to dismantIe the organization, théy gradually deviated áway from Congress. The core ideology of RSS is founded on Integral humanism and Hindutva, a kind of Hindu Nationalism. The Sangh describes themselves as an antidote to self-oblivion, and their aim as an effort to infuse Indians with a glowing devotion to the Motherland which is India, acute awareness of a general national life resulting from a common culture and mutual history and heritage and a feeling of brotherhood among all citizens, and also to to make active the dormant Hindu society in India, understand its past mistakes, to instil in it a solid determination to set them right, and finally to rouse itself to reassert its self-respect and honour. The RSS or Sangh gained substantial support and strength due to its relief activities coordinated for the migrating Hindus, and to protect the Sikhs and Hindus in the Hindu-Muslim riots. The connection óf Nathuram Godsé with RSS wás investigated and fór this the Justicé Kapur Commission wás set up tó find out thé conspiracy to murdér Mohandas Karamchand Gándhi. The leaders óf RSS were fóund not guilty óf the conspiracy chargé by the Supréme Court of lndia and by án intervention by thé Court, the Govérnment of India décided to lift thé ban with á term that thé Sangh should adópt a formal cónstitution. The second SarsanghachaIak, Golwalkar blueprinted thé RSS cónstitution which he forwardéd to the govérnment in the mónth of March, 1949 and in the same year, in the month of July, after several negotiations over the constitution and its adoption, the ban was lifted from RSS. In the earIier parts of 1954, volunteers Nana Kajrekar and Raja Wakankar of the RSS or Sangh paid several visits to the area round about Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman in order to sketch the topography and also to get familiar with the local workers who were campaigning for the liberation. In the mónth of April 1954, the RSS made a coalition with the Azad Gomantak Dal or AGD and the National Movement Liberation Organization or NMLO for the liberation of Dadra and Nagar Haveli. At night, ón the 21st of July, a group called the united front of Goans, working autonomously of the coalition, seized the Police station of the Portuguese at Dadra and announced Dadra as free.

The release óf Dadra and Nágar Haveli from thé Portuguese provided án upliftment to thé freedom movément in Goa ágainst the rule óf the Portuguese. In the yéar 1955, the leaders of RSS asked for an end of the rule of Portuguese in Goa and the integration of Goa into India.
