Since we reached page 1488 I think its worth reiterating that the average Indian supports Hindutva and that Hindutvaism is just 1940's nazism but with high caste indians in place of blue eyes blonde germans on top and lower castes and dalits (thats us!) in place of the jews, gypysies and slavs. The government of India, the BJP, is the political arm of the RSS, the RSS modelled their cultural and social goals and organisation directly off the nazi parties in the 1930's. Hence the familiar looking marches.

The RSS claims the sticks called
lathis are just a symbolic representation of
discipline, self-defense, and traditional strength. I would argue they introduced the sticks so when they carry them in a march it helps to give them the sillhoute of the organisation that inspired them.

Most people are aware Hitler got the swatiska and elements of Nazi ideology from the far East, specifically hindutavism. Now modern Hindutvaism is using nazi imagery and ideas to reinvent itself in the modern era. Its an incesterous circle of how to organise and govern society that racially and ideologically strict. I think the lathis are a double meaning symbolically and a sign the RSS has been inspired by the western idea of the fasces. Rome and later Nazi Germany and fascist Italy used it as a symbol to show the power of a unified state combined with people, so each individual would be a single stick that are truly powerful when acting together. Thus the RSS has the lathis as apart of the uniform to show they are the individuals that when combined become a mighty faggot.
