RSS adheres to Gandhian wisdom and it has done yeoman service to remove untouchability and eradicate caste barriers. If you read authentic history, shall find that Gandhiji appreciated efforts by RSS.
It may not have succeeded yet, but it will one day succeed in bestowing Bharatiya values which Gandhiji subscribed to. Here is an effort in verse to convey this perception.
The spirit of national consciousness, In all men at all levels; An expression of religious woes, Mixed with modern civilisational throes. A complex mixture of thoughts did swell, Struck their roots and cast a spell.
Amidst the turmoil India arose, A man in making, men evoked. Nation found an expression, Concept deemed a person. Metamorphosis of a native alien, In the garb of mystics legion; A mahatma was born.
The nation then took few great strides, Empire struck back with a great divide; And people lived in a confused spell. Where his killer caused a dubious swell, And homonyms led the nation.
Though new thoughts have now dug deep roots, Sprung generations which cared two hoots, For Gandhi or his studied perceptions. Yet, it is certain, his spirits will return.
