New Delhi: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat in an event in Delhi said that women should not only participate in household chores but also public affairs.
In the event 'Status of women in India' organized by Drishti, he said that women are known as 'masters of multitasking' and they can manage everything better than men.
"The work done by RSS for women shows that it is not a male-dominated organisation and this survey is a big example of what opinion Sangh has towards women as it is a landmark event," he added.
Women 'Master of Multitasking' says RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat This clarification came after RSS backed study which was released by organization chief Mohan Bhagwat according to the study, women who are married, practice spirituality, eat less are happier comparatively than those who are in live-in relationships.
RSS-linked Drishti Stree Adhyayan Prabodhan Kendra (DSAPK), better known as DRISHTI, conducted a survey on women across India, interviewing 43,255 women above 18 years of age across 465 districts of India, including 70 in border areas.
But the overarching theme of the study seems to be the women who practice spirituality and making a comparison between them and the others.
For instance, the study finds that "illiteracy is observed more among Scheduled Tribe women followed by Scheduled Caste and Special Backward Caste". But here comes the catch. The same study reports that the percentage of illiteracy is less "among women from the spiritual field".
That's not all. Anjali Deshpande of DRISHTI cites statistics from this exhaustive study to stress that women from the field of spirituality appear to be better off, as they are happier and more literate. But the only dampener is that merely 6,000 women out of 43,255 women surveyed were into spirituality.
The study that DRISHTI calls "India's largest Survey on Indian Women by the Indian Women" doesn't focus on only one religion but Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Christian, Jain and Sikhs alike.
Different parameters like employment, food habits, and marital status were used during this survey, which went into minute details of the surveyed women. For instance, the survey finds only 4.57 per cent of the respondents having a full non-vegetarian meal, while a larger proportion - 33.95 percent - of women say that their meal comprises rice, dal, vegetables and roti.
The study also finds that nearly half of the women have their meals twice a day while 3.73 percent women take meals only once every day.
The fact these survey findings are released by the RSS chief, with Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman also present in the packed auditorium suggests the seriousness with which both the Sangh and the BJP take it.
