Nagpur, Aug 30: The The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) which has planned to adopt the new uniform at its annual Vijayadashmi programme on October 11 this year, officially launched the sale of brown trousers.
It will be the first Vijayadashmi where swayamsevaks will be seen in khaki trousers that were decided upon to replace the half pants earlier this year. For waist size 20-24, sources in the RSS said, a pair of trousers would cost Rs 250. Swayamsevaks will have to pay Rs 10 more for every additional 2 inches.
The RSS had announced in March that it would do away with its trademark khaki knickers that it has used for 91 years and replace them with khaki trousers. The decision had come at annual meeting of the right-wing organization's highest decision making body, the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha.
The RSS had said at the time that the decision was something that its leadership had considered for a long time, and that it was aimed at changing with the times. RSS leaders had dismissed speculation that the change had been aimed at attracting and retaining youth who shied away from wearing the knickers.
History
The familiar RSS dress symbolised by knickers was adopted in 1925, including leather belts, long black shoes, khaki cap and a stick. The first change took place in 1930, when the khaki cap was replaced by a black one, and this was followed by a white shirt in place of khaki.
Again, in 1973, there was a third alteration when lighter shoes were introduced. The last change came in 2011, when Jain muni Tarun Sagar said the use of a leather belt was “not so related to non-violence”. The leather belt was overnight replaced with a canvas equivalent.
RSS units outside India are known as the Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh' and its members are allowed to use trousers.

Thank God for changing that JAMBULI CHADDI. Feel awkward to see people with that half chaddi. BUt the label will remain the same Chaddis. Its very easy to call.
Beggars, labor-class and low grade RSS members will wear pants..? will it not look odd for them, they are only fit to wear chaddi beyond that they cannot

This is not good for chaddies....they will lose their identity......
Govt should set up a special team to check these trousers before they reach the individuals. These days RSS are workers widely involving in anti-social and terror activities. They may hide something inside these trousers.
Good we are spared of the sickening sight of seeing men like Gadkari in their chaddis, hope the government will also take a lesson in changing the uniforms of our lady cops and hospital nurses, a simple change of not tucking their shirts in is all that is needed
Will this change of attire (borrowed from the British Home Guards) change the anti-democratic-secular ideology of RSS too? It hates everything which symbolizes an all-inclusive India. Take the example of our National Flag; Tricolour. The RSS English mouthpiece ORGANIZER demeaning the choice of the National Flag just on the eve of Independence ((14 August 1947)) wrote: \The people who have come to power by the kick of fate may give in our hands the Tricolour but it never be respected and owned by Hindus. The word three is in itself an evil, and a flag having three colours will certainly produce a very bad psychological effect and is injurious to a country.\" When will RSS learn to respect a democratic-secular India?"
