Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 63004, member: 636"] Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled a silver centenary coin and postal stamp on Wednesday, honoring the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh at Delhi's Dr Ambedkar International Centre. The 100-rupee coin depicts Bharat Mata receiving salutes from three volunteers alongside the Ashoka Pillar lion emblem. Modi noted this marks the first currency appearance of Bharat Mata since independence. The commemorative stamp captures RSS members marching during the 1963 Republic Day parade on Rajpath. Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru invited the volunteers after their service during the 1962 India-China conflict. RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale attended the ceremony with Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. [/QUOTE]
