Among the notable attendees were yoga guru and entrepreneur Ramdev and Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut, who is also a BJP MP. Political representatives from several parties also attended the event, including Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, Anupriya Patel, KC Tyagi of JDU, Upendra Kushwaha of RLM and Srikant Shinde of Shiv Sena. <\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">The opening day of the lecture series also drew international attention, with diplomats from over two dozen countries present on the first day. Countries represented included Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Laos, Singapore, Australia, China, Russia, Oman, Israel, Norway, Denmark, Serbia, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Italy, the UK, the European Union, Ireland, Jamaica, the USA, Brazil, and Argentina. Their presence highlighted the global interest in India\u2019s socio-cultural discourse and the RSS\u2019s evolving outreach.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Think tanks and multiple academic institutions were actively involved, reflecting the event\u2019s intellectual rigour. Organisations such as ORF, TCF, HSS, the Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute, TEDx India, Thinkers USA, Infinity Foundation, and Pernod Ricard attended, which further reflects the RSS\u2019s increasing focus on policy, ideas, and cultural engagement.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Over the next two days, the series is expected to feature an even broader spectrum of eminent personalities. Former Army chiefs, ex-Chief Justices of India, sports icons like Kapil Dev and Abhinav Bindra, and celebrated artists, including Manoj Joshi, Ram V Sutar, and the Dagar Bandhu, will participate. The centenary lecture series in a way marks a milestone for the RSS, blending tradition with contemporary discourse, while fostering dialogue across politics, culture, and international relations. <\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/madhuparna-das-2023-11-ecc61f628a0222fd0cfb0817dcd354a5.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/madhuparna-das-26293.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Madhuparna Das<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Madhuparna Das, Associate Editor (policy) at CNN News 18, has been in journalism for nearly 14 years.
