Dehradun: Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University, Srinagar
(Garhwal) recently awarded a doctorate degree to Seema Tamta (Kansal) on
“Sociological analysis of Social Philosophy of Sri Madhav Sadashivrao
Golwalkar.
Popularly known as “Sri Guruji” Golwalwar was endowed with multifarious
intellect, besides being an effective communicator, a thinker, protagonist of
Hindu culture and the second Sarsanghchalak (PRESIDENT) of Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) from 1940-1973.
During his long tenure as Chief of RSS, Sri Guruji expressed his thoughts and
ideological musings on contemporary social and national issues. His thoughts
proved guide posts for the nation, and it was by acting on these thoughts the
country could sail through turbulent waters and march on the path of national
reconstruction.
His thoughts and ideology was useful not only in his time, but they are more
relevant also in the present era of globalization and market-driven economy.
When the country was facing problems arising out of adaptation of globalization
in the present era, the thoughts and ideology of Sri Guruji was all the more
relevant and important calling for its indepth analysis, study and ways of its
practical application to tide over these problems. Seema Tamta’s research is
centered on this theme.
Talking about the research Dr Seema Tamta said that the visionary philosophy of
Sri Guruji provided solutions to many a social issue confronting the society
and gave birth to a new transformation process that was still relevant in the
changing social and cultural milieu of India.
With this view an attempt has been made to analyze the thoughts, ideology and
philosophy of Sri Guruji form a sociological point of view.
She acknowledged the help and assistance accorded to her at RSS headquarter at
Nagpur and other places where she was supplied with relevant literature and
material and encouragement. This research would provide a definite direction to
the society and country, she hoped.
