This photograph is of the year 1939 and it was clicked in Naini, Uttar Pradesh. Pandit Nehru can be seen wearing a white cap. However, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livemint.com\/Politics\/Rker0Eokbrod0gOQA6Ch7L\/The-evolution-of-the-RSS-uniform.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">uniform of the RSS<\/a> introduced in 1925 has a black cap and not a white cap. This was pointed out in a fact check that was conducted by the Hindi news channel News18 India in December 2017 which indicates that this picture has been circulating for some months now. According to the report by the channel, Pandit Nehru is attending a session of the Seva Dal and not the RSS.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0915\u094d\u092f\u093e \u092a. \u0928\u0947\u0939\u0930\u0942 RSS \u0915\u0940 \u0936\u093e\u0916\u093e \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u091c\u093e\u0924\u0947 \u0925\u0947 ? | Nehru-RSS Relation | \u0916\u092c\u0930 \u092a\u0915\u094d\u0915\u0940 \u0939\u0948 ? | News18 India\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UoAbC_cLPCY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>What is Seva Dal?<\/h3>\n<p>Seva Dal is a frontal, grassroots organisation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.in\/en\/congress-seva-dal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Indian National Congress<\/a>.

In 1931, it became the chief volunteer arm of the Congress. The uniform of the Seva Dal is similar to the former uniform of the RSS which included a black cap, khaki shorts and a stick. There are numerous photographs on the internet of Pandit Nehru in a Seva Dal uniform.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12921\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12921\" style=\"width: 706px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-12921\" src=\"http:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/nehrusevadal2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"706\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/nehrusevadal2.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/nehrusevadal2-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/nehrusevadal2-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/nehrusevadal2-572x420.jpg 572w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 100vw, 706px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12921\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: India Today<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12930\" src=\"http:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/nehrusevadal3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"758\" height=\"308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/nehrusevadal3.jpg 758w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/nehrusevadal3-300x122.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/nehrusevadal3-696x283.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 758px) 100vw, 758px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Pandit Nehru is among the primary targets of the right-wing machinery on social media which incessantly targets him through misinformation.
