Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday released a special Rs 100 coin and a commemorative postal stamp at the centenary celebrations of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in New Delhi. He stressed that the coin features an image of Bharat Mata seated on a lion in “varad mudra”, with swayamsevaks bowing before her for the first time in independent India. The postal stamp depicts RSS swayamsevaks participating in the 1963 Republic Day Parade, symbolising the organisation’s historic role in national service.
