Keeping people united, RSS ideology: Ram Lal

Mumbai: A senior RSS functionary Ram Lal on Saturday said that the people of India should stay united as some parties are trying to divide people on various topics like languages and region. “The RSS ideology is about keeping people together,” he said. Ram Lal was addressing the RSS members as the chief speaker at the closing ceremony at a 15-day training camp in Kurla. Total 136 swayamsevaks participated in the camp. They demonstrated their skills in Dand prayog, Niyudh (karate), and Lazim Dance on Vande Mataram at the ceremony. Ram Lal said that many swayamsevkas have made a lot of sacrifices for the country but no one knows them. Still, RSS continues to work for the country. He cited examples of the Partition in 1947 and Emergency in 1975 to underpin his point. “I myself had been in jail for eight months during the Emergency. Many swayamsevaks welcomed jail with open hands and even after that RSS continued to worked for the country with more energy.” He said the whole Hindu community is awakening now, and they are adapting the forgotten culture of Sanatan Dharma. “The irony is that people working for the country are called communal. The 'Breaking India Lobby' is also active and we need to unite in the favour of India to counter it. Today westernisation is badly influencing the joint family system, the Indian culture and youth's ideology. It's time for us to think about it and start making changes from our family.” Ram Lal coined another meaning for the RSS – Ready for Selfless Service. “The world is now slowly looking up towards India as an example and the process will get faster in the future. It is our responsibility as citizens to make India and become an example for the world.” Jimmy Mistry, founder of the Della Leaders Club, was the chief guest. Mangal Prabhat Lodha, Minister Entrepreneurship and Skill Development, was also present. In his address, Mistry spoke about the international image of the RSS. He said, “RSS is always shown in a negative shade at the international platform and we need to improve on that.” He emphasised on improving the process of communication, manufacturing narratives and the importance of social media in the changing world. In a reply to Mistry, Ram Lal said that swayamsevkas were busy in manufacturing success. “That is why we don't focus on narratives,” he said.

Why Women Are Better Investors Than Men

As the world celebrated International Women's Day, discussions centered around women's achievements in various fields—business, leadership, science, and beyond. But one area where women consistently outperform men, yet receive little recognition, is investing.

Despite money management often being seen as a male-dominated field, women have quietly and consistently proven to be better investors than men. With patience, discipline, and a long-term mindset, women naturally possess qualities that make them superior money managers.

A Perfect Blend of Knowledge and Wealth

In Hindu mythology, Goddess Saraswati symbolizes knowledge, while Goddess Lakshmi represents wealth—two essential pillars of investing. The ability to manage wealth wisely stems from a deep understanding of financial principles, and this is where women excel. They take the time to learn, analyze, and make informed investment decisions rather than rushing into trends or speculation.

Why Women Make Better Investors

Several traits make women stand out as investors:

Patience and Long-Term Vision: Unlike men, who may be more prone to impulsive trading and get-rich-quick schemes, women tend to have a longer term mindset. Their ability to stay calm, especially during market fluctuations, leads to better returns over time.

Disciplined and Goal-Based: Women prioritize consistent savings and goal-based investing. This disciplined approach helps them build wealth steadily. Women naturally excel at budgeting, planning, and structuring investments to align with future goals, whether it’s children’s education, home buying, or retirement security. Their emotional connection with goals is what makes them stick to discipline.

Risk-Aware, Not Risk-Averse: Contrary to the stereotype, women are not afraid of risks—they are just more calculated about them, through appropriate asset allocation. Eventually, this approach ensures maximum returns with minimal risks.

Trust and Willingness to Learn: Women value education and expertise, making them more likely to seek guidance from a well-qualified financial advisor. Unlike men, who often overestimate their investing abilities, women approach financial decisions with a willingness to learn. Once they find a trusted expert, they follow sound advice instead of making emotional, short-term moves.

Women Leading the Financial World

These qualities are why many of the world’s leading financial institutions are now led by women. In India and abroad, we see prominent banks, asset management companies, and investment firms thriving under female leadership. Their ability to combine strategic thinking with emotional intelligence makes them exceptional at managing money—both at a personal and professional level.

Final Thoughts

With their trust in expert advice and a strong focus on financial education, more women should embrace their strengths and take control of their financial futures!
