Role during the 1962 Sino-Indian War and 1965 Indo-pak War[edit]
After the violation of Panchsheel Treaty by China in 1962, Chinese People's Liberation Army advanced over Indian forces and Indian Territory, this lead to severe internal and front security crisis in India. RSS Leadership called volunteers to assist Indian army resisting at forefront.[2] Later, RSS was invited by Prime Minister Nehru to take part in the Republic Day parade of 1963 due to earned recognition based on its volunteer work during the Sino-Indian War in 1962.[3][4][2] It along with several other civilian organizations took part in the parade. When many organisations objected on inviting RSS, Nehru said, "I have invited all patriots to take part in the parade."[5] This event helped the RSS increase its popularity and its patriotic image.[6] During 1965 India-Pakistan war Indian Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri requested RSS cadres to help control traffic in Delhi, so policemen could be freed for defence duties.[4] When the army's injured soldiers required blood, above five hundred RSS volunteers presented themselves for blood donation. On the close of the war General Kushwant Singh of Indian Army thanked RSS for their relief and Support work for the army and nation.</ref>[7] Later in 1971 Indo-Pak war also, the RSS volunteers offered their services to maintain law and order of the country and were apparently the first to donate blood.[8]
