According to Mohan Bhagwat, One may follow a different culture, philosophy, language, and style of eating but everyone living in India is a Hindu, while addressing a rally in Meerut, he said.
Bhagwat also focussed and stressed on the need of unification of entire Hindus living in India as he quotes that Dalits are uniting against us and their Bhim Sena is a potential threat, reported by Telegraph.
“The roadblock to being united is that we are fighting on the lines of caste. We have to say that all Hindus are brothers irrespective of their community. Those who believe in Bharat Mata, her culture, and are progeny of India’s forefathers are Hindus. There are Hindus in this country who do not know they are Hindus,” he said, as reported by The Hindu.
This was the biggest assembling of RSS workers in Uttar Pradesh for which the association was planning for most recent one year, something which is being translated as RSS setting up the ground for the BJP in front of the 2019 General Elections.
While talking about the importance of self-pride in being a Hindu, he said, “Everyone should accept with pride that they are a Hindu. That is why we are one.”
“We Hindu need to be one because taking care of this country is our responsibility and we are accountable for that. Since the time immemorial we have been living here. We need to know how to defend ourselves. Those who don’t know how to defend themselves how will they develop? We need to be ready for that,” RSS leader said, according to Indian Express.
Mr. Bhagwat raised the issue of being a "kattar Hindu (no-nonsense Hindu)" and said, "being a Kattar Hindu means udarta (being liberal)." Bhagwat talked finally about taking pride in one's character and culture and said that a country that does not do as such, does not advance, reported by Times of India.
Quoting examples from Hanuman’s tales, Bhagwat however refuses that it is a show of strength. Bhagwat said, “Even gods take sacrifice of lambs because it is powerless. Even gods do not respect those without strength. This is not a show of strength. You don’t need to show strength, it is visible when it is there.”
He said the objective of the Indian nation is eternal and supreme. “All nations are formed with an objective, said Vivekanand. Rome was created for power. Greece came into being to showcase the principle of beauty. France was created with the idea of Art. Their objective is over and so are the respective nations. But India came into being on the idea of life. That objective is never going to be over. And so our nation is immortal.”
