Bengaluru: Sanskar Bharti has become an influential art organisation and its next task is to rope in critics who like the Sangh ideology, said RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat in a surprisingly candid talk in which he also touched upon how the right-wing body worked its way to prominence.
Sanskar Bharti is the cultural wing of the RSS and works to promote Indian art, fine arts among others.1
Bhagwat went back into history and cited the formation of the RSS by K S Hedgewar as an example.

"When we established Sanskar Bharti, we aimed at becoming an influential art body, which we have now become. In the days to come, we will be stronger in this sphere. Now, we need to focus on building a pool of art critics who will work towards bringing 'truth' and 'Shivatva' (divinity) together.”
