RSS chief hails ’sons of Bharat Mata’; says, ’Hindu community is responsible for India because...’

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat on Saturday, October 5, called for Hindu unity, asserting that the Hindu community must unite for its security by overcoming differences based on language, caste, and regional disputes.

Addressing a 'Swayamsevak Ekatrikaran' event in Rajasthan's Baran on Saturday, Bhagwat said, “We are the sons of ‘Bharat Mata’ and therefore, we will die for it. The Hindu community is responsible for India because India is a Hindu nation. Hindu people have been living here since ancient times.” 

Addressing the event, the RSS chief said India is a Hindu nation, and Hindus live in harmony through continuous dialogue.

“We have lived here since ancient times, though the term — Hindu — came later. The term Hindu has been used for all the sects residing in India. Hindus regard everyone as their own and accept all. A Hindu says that we are right, and you, too, are right in your place. With continuous dialogue and goodwill, we must live together harmoniously” Bhagwat said.

"Hindus embrace everyone. They live in harmony through continuous dialogue," he added.

"Hindu society must unite for its security by eliminating language, caste, and regional differences and disputes," he added.

Warning the Hindus ‘Bhagwan Bachao’ approach towards life, Bhagwat said God only helps those who help themselves adding that God always waits to see people taking efforts.

"Hindus have a habit of outsourcing all the work. They always say — Bhagwan Bachao (God save us). But God only helps those who help themselves. Even in Mahabharat, Krishna Bhagwan came to support Pandavas when he saw them ready with the chariot. If God wanted, he could have saved them without the war too, but God always waits to see people taking efforts. We should take efforts to look after Bharat Ma, we should always take everyone along with us, because that is our culture, our tradition,” Bhagwat said.

"The focus should be on social harmony, justice, health, education, and self-reliance. The volunteers should always remain active and foster harmony, environmental awareness, indigenous values, and civic consciousness within families, which are the basic components of a society," the RSS chief added.
