Next on RSS' plate: Making sure families dine together, and no smartphones while eating

NAGPUR: Remember the adage ‘A family that eats together stays together?’ Well, it’s none other than the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) that is trying to revive the concept of ‘family time’ with its project, “Kutumb Prabodhan”, or family awakening.

“Under this, all family members must meet at least once a week and have at least one meal together,” says RSS' Ravindra Joshi, the coconvener for the project and a retired professor of economics. The project has been rolled out in all 42 “prants” (provinces) of the country.

RSS karyakartas when travelling stay in the homes of colleagues, rather than in hotels which is their way of getting to know each other's family. Kutumb Prabodhan is another step towards deepening family ties.

There’s more to Kutumb Prabodhan than just sitting and dining. “We are also promoting the idea of having discussions between family members,” says Manmohan Vaidya, RSS' Akhil Bhartiya Prachar Pramukh, or publicity chief. But those powwows have to be of a certain quality. “They must go beyond politics/film/cricket,” adds Vaidya.

So what should the tete-a-tetes be about, then? “Family members can discuss about one's family tree, gods and goddesses, sanskriti, dharma, or desh bhakti,’’ offers Joshi.

And no smartphones on the table, please. “Initially we are beginning with the idea of staying away from TV and mobile phones for an hour,” says Joshi. But the idea is to not make it ritualistic. “Sehej roop se samaj mein parivarik prem ki bhavna lana is pravadhan ka uddeshya hai (The aim of the project is to inculcate love and family bonding in the society in a natural way).”

Like many projects, Kutumb Prabodhan too will be rolled out in, well, phases. In the first, the objective is to get immediate family members to sit together. “Later we will try to get neighbouring families to join in,” explains Joshi.

The possibilities thereafter are, of course, endless. After all, as far as the RSS is concerned, the Hindu Rashtra is one extended family — or, Vasudhev Kutumbakam.

Waiting on secular liberals of India to kick out their children and parents on to the road during dining time.

Are you mentally challenged human?

What has good family time to do with the above judgment?

RSS has come up with very good initiative. Government should promote this.

Those opposing this idea are Stone Age savages. They should be barred from any form of employment.

What about a family member that lives in another city or another province/state?

Wah Great Question....

As per Indian seculars, since RSS has said it, the family members must be tied, their head cut, the body cut into small pieces, meat distributed, cooked and eaten.
After that parade the cut heads all over the town.

That's the liberal way in India.

I have no idea the point you're trying to make to be honest, if you are agreeing with me or not.

I think mine was a perfect answer to your question.

You are an intelligent person. The question you posed is something some one with half brains would not pose. You bring a smart person did pose it, hence the intention must be taken into account.

Therefore my answer plays perfectly well where I used quarter of brains to answer it

It was not a perfect answer. It is a legitimate question that will need to be considered when drafting the law. The proposal does not contain information about relatives living long distance, and what is defined by long distance. Obviously you can't expect someone to travel 2,000 km every week. And relatives living long distance are exempt, again what is defined as long distance?

Cool, here is my reply AGAIN.

You are again not giving any direct answers and trying to give some a completely ambiguous response that you are expecting the reader to figure out by going into your head, and if they fail to do that then they are dumb. In other words, you are making a personal response to a legitimate question that is not personal in nature and is directed toward the policy.

Ok, let's just assume for a moment I am a dumb illiterate. How would you explain what you are trying to say to me, a dumb illiterate?

Since you are not one, and since your intentions are questionable, my response would always be the one I gave the last two times.
