Unsung groups emerge heroes of relief operations
DEHRADUN: They use Hanuman Chalisa or old patriotic songs from Hindi movies as their caller tunes. They are the power behind swamis and bapus and the popularity of religious channels; also the reason for the stupendous success of Hindi pulp-fi ction brands such as Jasoosi Duniya.
They are mocked for their dress sense, with heavy gold chains around their necks and for carrying "puri bhaji" abroad. They don't come to mind when the "civil society" is valorized as the alternative to the "system". When the state was represented only by the forces and the paramilitary, it's these much-derided groups that swung into action.
At the relief camps, volunteers of the Durga Seva Dal, Bharat Mata Nyas, Bharat Swabhiman Nyas, Bhai Baljeet Singh's Viswa Manav Ruhani Kendra, Shri Krishnayan Desi Goraksha Golakdham, Digambar Jain Sabha vie with each other to offer assistance. There are also Manav Seva Kendras and Samitis serving hot tea with biscuits and snacks. Vegetarian chowmein comes from the All Uttarakhand Budhist Math (Tibet), cold drinks and sherbet. Puri bhaji, kadhi chawal and rajma chawal are available round the clock.
There are other groups too: From the ABVP, RSS and the VHP.
