Jaipur: On Sunday, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat emphasised each person’s crucial role in completely eradicating the notion of untouchability.
He said this while addressing a programme of ‘Swayam Sewaks’ in Alwar at the Indira Gandhi Sports Ground.
Speaking on the occasion, he said, “We forgot our religion and became subject to selfishness that is the reason why untouchability started. The feeling of high and low escalated in society. Now, we have to eradicate this feeling completely. Change has to be brought through social harmony.”
Bhagwat also called upon the Swayam Sewaks to incorporate five subjects into their lives, which include social harmony, environment, family values, Swadeshi, and civic duty. He assured that when volunteers incorporate these things into their lives, society will follow them, leading to a brighter future.
He further said that the Sangh will reach its 100th year next year. The work of Sangh has been going on for a long time. “When we work, we should understand what is the thought (idea) behind it. Our nation has to be made strong. We have been saying in our prayers that this is a Hindu nation. This is because the Hindu society is the reason behind it. If something good happens to this nation, then the glory of the Hindu society rises. If something goes wrong in this nation, then the blame falls on the Hindu society because it is the creator of this country.
Bhagwat further said that there is a need to make the country gain glory and turn it meritorious.
“We have to become capable, and to accomplish this aim, the entire society will have to be made capable.”
The RSS chief further said, “What we call the Hindu religion is actually the religion of humanity. It is a world religion and has been moving forward with the wish for everyone’s welfare. Hindu means the most generous human in the world, who accepts everything, who has goodwill towards everyone, who is a descendant of mighty ancestors, who does not use education to create controversy but to impart knowledge. He is the one who does not use wealth to become intoxicated but to give charity. He uses power to protect the weak. One who has this character, who has this culture, is a Hindu. All of them are Hindu who have these values and whose culture includes these features.”
Bhagwat further said that earlier no one knew the Sangh.
“Now everyone knows. Earlier, no one believed in the Sangh. Today, everyone believes in it, even those who oppose us. Their lips oppose us, but their hearts believe us. Therefore, now we have to protect Hindu religion, Hindu culture and Hindu society for the all-round development of the nation,” he said. This widespread recognition and acceptance of the Sangh is a testament to the positive impact and influence of the Sangh on society. It is a responsibility all must uphold for the betterment of India and its people.
