‘Why unite the Hindu society?’ RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat answers | India News

NEW DELHI: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday called for the unity of “Hindu society” and emphasized its role in shaping the nation. He categorically mentioned that “those who thought that they could not live with that nature, they made their own separate country,” in an apparent reference to Pakistan.
“What does the Sangh want to do? If this question has to be answered in one sentence, then the Sangh wants to unite the entire Hindu society. Why unite the Hindu society? Because the society responsible for this country is the Hindu society…Bharat has a nature, and those who thought that they could not live with that nature, they made their own separate country…Hindus move forward by accepting the diversity of the world,” he said, addressing an RSS programme in Bardhaman, West Bengal.

“These characteristics define India. Those who follow these values are Hindus and they keep the diversity of the entire country united. We will not engage in actions that hurt others. Rulers, administrators, and great men do their work, but society must come forward to serve the nation,” he added.
Addressing historical invasions dating back to Alexander, Bhagwat remarked that “a handful of barbarians, lacking virtue, managed to rule over India,” attributing it to internal betrayal within society. He also dismissed the idea that India was created by the British, asserting that the notion of a divided India was a narrative imposed by colonial rulers.
The rally took place after receiving approval from the Calcutta high court, following an initial denial of permission by the Bengal Police.
