Vijayadashami Utsav: RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat Says India’s Diversity Must Be Accepted, Protected

Bhagwat said the RSS’s 100-year campaign aims to strengthen national identity while protecting all forms of diversity, as centenary programmes concluded.

  • On Tuesday, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat delivered his annual Vijayadashami address in Nagpur, emphasizing that India is a land of diversity with a traditional character of accepting and protecting these differences.
  • Marking the 101st year of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Bhagwat stated the RSS has spent 100 years working to awaken national identity, aiming to organize the country and make it strong and self-reliant.
  • Recognizing historical figures, Bhagwat honored Sant Ravidas, who promoted social harmony during oppressive times, alongside Swami Shraddhanand and Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati Maharaj, who sacrificed their lives defending their faith.
  • Bhagwat stressed that a higher, overarching emotional unity in India exists above natural sentiments toward specific languages or sects, urging mutual cooperation for collective well-being.
  • Earlier on Monday, Bhagwat offered prayers at the Sri Sri Sarvajanik Durga Puja pandal in Dhantoli, Nagpur, where he spoke about seeking blessings from the Divine Mother on Maha Ashtami.
