Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) president Mohan Bhagwat has reiterated that all Indians are Hindus and Hindu means all Indians.
“Hindustan (India) is a ‘Hindu Rashtra’ and this is a fact. Ideologically, all Bharatiyas (Indians) are Hindus and Hindus mean all Bharatiyas. All those who are in Bharat (India) today are related to Hindu culture, Hindu ancestors, and Hindu land, nothing other than these,” Bhagwat said while speaking at the inauguration of ‘Madhukar Bhavan’, the new building of Shri Narkesari Prakashan Ltd., which runs the newspaper ‘Dainik Tarun Bharat’.
“Some people have understood this, while some are not acknowledging it even after understanding it because of their habits and selfishness. Also, some people have either not understood yet or forgotten it,” the RSS President added.
Bhagwat further said that “our ideology” is much sought-after the world over. In fact, there is no alternative to this ideology, he said. “Everybody has understood this. Some acknowledge it, some do not,” Bhagwat said, adding that it is natural that the global responsibility in this regard will come on the country and society and those media that disseminate the “ideology”.
The RSS President also stressed the need to care for the environment and focus on “Swadeshi”, family values, and discipline.
