In a strategic move to inspire the youth, Madhya Pradesh is leveraging the powerful documentary film ‘Shatak’ to connect school students with the legacy of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Affiliated groups are organizing special screenings across the state, targeting young minds with tales of patriotism and service.
The Madhya Pradesh government has declared ‘Shatak’ tax-free, making it accessible to wider audiences. This 1925-2025 centenary tribute chronicles the RSS’s century-long journey of dedication. Featuring voiceovers by Bollywood star Ajay Devgn and stunning portrayals of icons like Veer Savarkar, Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Patel, and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, the film blends historical drama with advanced AI graphics.
Produced by Veer Kapoor, ‘Shatak’ serves as a visual archive of RSS’s contributions to nation-building. In Satna district, the Madhurima Seva Sanskriti Sansthan arranged a screening for 300 students at a local cinema hall. The children emerged thrilled, gaining insights into the freedom struggle and post-independence sacrifices by RSS volunteers.
Dr. Swapna Verma, founder of the institute, emphasized, ‘Our youth are the nation’s future. They deserve to know about those who served selflessly. This film ignites patriotism and commitment to social service.’ Chief Minister Mohan Yadav recently viewed it with party leaders, signaling strong endorsement.
Such initiatives are proliferating statewide, with RSS and BJP affiliates booking theaters to expose students to ideological roots. Critics may debate the intent, but proponents hail it as essential education in national pride. As ‘Shatak’ screens continue, it promises to shape young perspectives on India’s organizational heritage.
