RSS aims to unite Hindu society by affection and belonging, says Mohan Bhagwat
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday said the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's mission is to ensure that the entire Hindu society is bound by the thread of "sense of belonging and affection." RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said the term 'giving back' has lately become fashionable in English, but this sentiment has been in existence in India for a long time.(X/@annamalai_k) He was speaking at the release of a biography of noted Ayurveda practitioner late P Y Khadiwale, better known as `Vaidya Khadiwale', here. "Unlike animals, human beings possess intellect. With wise use of intellect, he can become even better, but using the same intellect in the wrong way, he can become worse. The only thing that stops him from being bad is the sense of affection and belonging," Bhagwat said. There are examples of people tilting towards evil if they become selfish. On the other hand, if a person tilts towards affection and compassion, he attains a godly form, and Khadiwale's life journey is an example of this, he added. The Sangh also works towards reminding the society about the sense of belonging, affection and compassion which are being forgotten in the present times, Bhagwat said. "The Sangh teaches a person that if somebody is showing a sense of belonging towards you, you should also be reciprocal and show the same affection and compassion. The work of the Sangh is to see that the entire Hindu society is bound by the thread of sense of belonging and affection," he said. The Hindu community has also taken upon itself the task of binding the entire world by the thread of sense of belonging, the RSS chief further said. The term 'giving back' has lately become fashionable in English, but this sentiment has been in existence in India for a long time, he said. Bhagwat also hailed Khadiwale's contribution to Ayurveda and his philanthropic work, and said all those who revere him should take his work forward.

Grammar holding you back? Master these 10 powerful techniques to improve your English
For many, grammar is a relic of classroom instruction, tamed once, forgotten soon after. But for professionals, writers, and global communicators, grammar is not merely a rulebook; it is architecture. It lends form to meaning, clarity to complexity, and power to persuasion. In a world increasingly driven by the written word—emails, applications, social media, academic discourse, flawless grammar is not a luxury. It's currency. Yet, despite decades of exposure, even native speakers falter. Why? Because mastering grammar requires more than memorising rules. It demands nuance, context, and constant refinement. If you seek not just functional fluency, but grammatical excellence, this high-level, nontraditional guide offers a blueprint for elevating your command of English. Treat grammar as a symphony, not a checklist Think of grammar not as a set of traffic rules but as orchestration. Subject-verb agreement, tense continuity, and punctuation are your instruments. Mastering them is not about ticking boxes but about orchestrating flow. Good grammar should sound right. Reading your writing aloud activates this musicality and alerts you to awkward phrasing, misplaced modifiers, and rhythm-disrupting structures. Interrogate every sentence you write Adopt the habit of grammatical self-inquiry. Ask: Is my subject clear and precise? Does the verb tense match the intended timeline? Is my punctuation guiding or confusing the reader? Every sentence is an opportunity to refine logic and tone. This deliberate interrogation cultivates internal grammar instinct, a skill that artificial intelligence, autocorrect, or Grammarly cannot replace. Master the grammar of tone, not just the grammar of rules Advanced grammar is less about avoiding errors and more about wielding language strategically. Want to sound formal? Use the passive voice selectively. Need to command attention? Deploy imperative constructions. Trying to soften the critique? Embrace modal verbs ('might,' 'could,' 'would') with finesse. Grammar can be a scalpel or a sledgehammer, choose based on context. Beware of false fluency: Avoid overcorrecting Paradoxically, some of the worst grammar mistakes arise from trying to sound too correct. Misusing 'whom' where 'who' suffices, or obsessively avoiding sentence fragments even when stylistically warranted, can result in stilted prose. True grammar mastery involves knowing when and why, to break the rules without breaking meaning. Read like a grammarian, not just a reader Immersion is key, but passive reading yields little. Analyse the grammar behind the magic. Why did the author use a colon here instead of a dash? How does this compound-complex sentence maintain balance without confusing the reader? Study a variety of genres, legal documents for precision, novels for stylistic devices, and journalism for clarity. Each teaches a distinct grammatical dialect. Conjugation is your compass, keep it polished Verb conjugation is the lifeblood of grammar. Master not only standard forms but also subjunctive moods ('If I were you…'), conditionals ('Had she known…'), and perfect tenses ('I have been writing for hours'). Precision in conjugation prevents ambiguity and showcases a mature grasp of temporal logic. Wield punctuation with surgical precision Advanced grammar includes punctuation that does more than pause, it punctuates meaning. Use em dashes to inject emphasis, colons to herald lists or revelations, and semicolons to link complex ideas. Avoid comma splices like grammatical landmines. Remember: punctuation is not decoration, it is navigation. Embrace feedback as a grammar gymnasium One of the fastest paths to improvement is external critique. Ask editors, mentors, or even advanced AI tools to analyse your writing. Don't just correct errors, understand them. Keep a personal log of recurring mistakes and revisit them periodically. Pattern recognition breeds progress. Translate complex thoughts into grammatical simplicity Great grammar isn't about complexity; it's about clarity. The ability to express dense ideas in grammatically simple, elegant sentences is a hallmark of linguistic sophistication. Einstein famously said, 'If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.' Grammar is the conduit for that simplicity. Practice in context, not isolation Forget fill-in-the-blank drills. Instead, rewrite flawed articles, edit sample essays, or translate nuanced ideas from your native tongue into polished English. Contextual practice trains your grammar to serve meaning, not the other way around. Language is not a code to decipher, but a muscle to condition. Is your child ready for the careers of tomorrow?
