To help people connect with India's history and culture, the RSS will organise a mega literature campaign across the national capital tomorrow.

The campaign will be launched at 1,000 locations across Delhi and will see RSS sell literature highlighting its ideology, besides on history and culture of the country and on the lives of prominent people.

The literature campaign coincides with the festival of Basant Panchmi.

The literature section of RSS's Delhi unit will see participation of thousands of its volunteers who plan to sell 1,000 packets of books at these locations across the national capital to help people connect with the literature.
 

The theme of the books has been kept in line with the ideology of the RSS and the idea of cultural nationalism and as many as 40,000 sets of books have been published to for the campaign.

"The books will be broadly on five titles - RSS and its ideology, Short stories for children, Hanuman for students, Gita for students and India's revolutionaries," RSS' Delhi unit media head Rajiv Tuli said.

RSS has also decided to make these books available in both Hindi and English for wider reach and to help connect with children, youth and women.

Tuli said the campaign will coincide with Basant Panchami and Saraswati Puja celebrations. Saraswati is the Goddess of learning.

These books will help rekindle a culture of reading among the youth in the country and to help them know about their country better, he said.
