Nagaur (Rajasthan), Mar 13: Khaki shorts, the trademark dress for RSS cadres for 91 years, is out and is being replaced by brown trousers as the Sangh wants to move with the times.
The decision was taken at the three-day annual meeting of Akhil Bhartiya Pratinidhi Sabha, the highest decision-making body of RSS, held here.
"We have decided to replace khaki half pant with brown pant. We are not rigid and take decisions according to the time," Suresh Bhayyaji Joshi, Sar-Karywah (general secretary) of the RSS, told a press conference here.
Loose Khaki shorts have been the trademark of RSS cadres since the organisation's inception in 1925. Even though other parts of the uniform have been changed from time to time, khaki shorts remained in vogue till now.
Initially till 1940, the uniform of RSS was khaki shirt and shorts before white shirts were introduced. Leather shoes replaced long boots in 1973 and later rexine shoes were allowed.
Describing it as a "major change", Joshi said, "Pants are a regular feature in today's social life, so we took our decision accordingly."
Replying to questions, the RSS leader said, "We decided on brown colour though there is no specific reason for it but is commonly available and looks good."
When asked whether it will have any impact on the identification of the RSS volunteers, he said it will not have any adverse impact and will be a routine thing in next 4-6 months.

They should change their thinking....behavior and attitude...only then we can see some kind of changes around...mere changing dress that does not make any difference at all....carrying swords also should be banned....
Why adopt foreign dress culture. RSS being patriotic group as they claim should practice what is India. Right dress code for them is \Dhoti and Pheta\" not some English men's pants."
If ISIS or RSS change the code of dress nothing changes, if they change their code of conduct may be something will change.

Coastal digest, I challenge you to publish these comments - the truth hurts doesn't it Mullas/Tulukkas ? You lot think that you are Arabs but the Arabs use you to clean their toilet
Oh Taqiyyawalon, only you will say that your religion stands for peace !Quran 48:29:
Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves…
Now they can straight away move to any marriage or functions directly from the ground without going home to change the dress from half kaki to full pant.
No.1 terrorist organization of India RSS(rakta surisuva sangatane)bharathse iska namo nishan mitana zaroori hai
Chaddis will be chaddis.. Even if they wear anything..
RSS have chosen Brown trousers to behave like policemen with innocent people. This is their game plan.
Other Organization should chose military uniform to fight against Terrorist or brown trousers.
We cannot change your title - Cheddi will be cheddi...
As they do gundagiri, Langoti is the ideal uniform
Whether it is a chaddi or Trouser they cant change their terrorist identity.
The main reason for changing the khakhi short is because, people tease them as \Chaddis\". However, this reason can't be disclosed officially."
