In his final speech at the Officers' Training Camp (OTC) in 1940, Hedgewar expressed his joy, envisioning a miniature #HinduRashtra before him. His passing occurred on June 21, 1940. Notably, the OTC, established in 1927, holds significance.

At the time of Hedgewar's successor #Golwalkar taking over, there were approximately 500 shakhas and 100,000 swayamsevaks. By the time of Golwalkar's death in 1973, the number of shakhas had grown to over 10,000, with a total membership of around one million. #Hindus #RSS
