14. Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh abbreviated
as RSS .
Founded on 27 September 1925, the
organisation calls itself a non-governmental
organisation,[15] the world's largest such, and
claims a commitment of selfless service
to India.
RSS was founded in 1925 by Keshav Baliram
Hedgewar, a doctor in the city of Nagpur,
British India.[24] He had been charged with
sedition in 1921 by the British Administration
and was imprisoned for one year .
15. The quit India movement is one of the most
important event in the history of Indian
freedom struggle aginst British.
Though the movement was unable to achieve
freedom but it succeed to compel the British
government to quit India.
The British government also realizes that the
time had came to quit India.
