RSS's Mohan Bhagwat asked all Hindus to unite to save the country from being taken advantage of. Experts weigh in on whether he is justified in saying this.
Earlier this month at a Kolkata event, the RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat expressed his opposition to the recommendations of the Sachar Commission Report, but the connection he tries to establish between converted Muslims and Sachar Report is a deliberate attempt to mislead.
Caught between wanting to be an ideal swayamsevak like Mohan Bhagwat, and a moderniser like Vajpayee, Prime Minister Modi could become an Indira-like statist.
RSS chief tells ABVP mouthpiece that law should be same for all educational institutions; says saffronisation can instill a sense of national pride among students.
Amit Shah and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat may have already chosen BJP's vice-presidential candidate, while the parliamentary board of the party is likely to meet soon to discuss the nomination.

The political trajectory is clear. Asim Munir is now prepared to convict and sentence Imran Khan for instigating a rebellion against the army chief, with no possibility of mercy.
RBI data shows 26 states and Union Territories couldn’t regain pre-pandemic foreign tourist footfalls in 2024, but domestic tourism surged 27 percent compared to 2019.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
None of Pakistan’s PMs has lasted 5 years. That the current PM has given Asim Munir 5 years shows that of all military dictatorships history has seen, Pakistan’s is most creative.
Look at the countries where Muslims are in majority with
1. Secularism
2. Legally, women are equal to men and not punished even when raped.
3. Minority religions have been able to increase or maintain their % polpulation for at least 40-50 years
4. industrialised
5. Extremists are not supported by government.
Number 3 is the most crucial to ensure improvement in quality of life as we progressives see it.
How many Muslims come out in open to oppose ISIS and other similar groups without fear of retribution?
To compare RSS and other groups working for Hindus with Islamic terrorists is ridiculous joke. No one was killed though there were protests against Padmavat. Many have been killed when comments/cartoons were perceived as attacking Islam.
‘Infidle’ by Aayan Hirsi Ali is recommended to most of the writers above.
Hindus unite? There are no Hindus in India never were and the way things are never will be. There are people praying broadly to the same gods ( like various sects of say Christianity or Islam) but they are not one people nor one religion. The various religions are Brahmins, Kshatriyas, the working middle class referred to now as OBCs, Hindu shudras, Hindu tribals. There is no connection amongst them. Sadly things have come to this pass if you look at how they are fighting amongst themselves. The RSS chief speaks for Brahmins and he has his rights there. All the other religions as mentioned above think for themselves. All these people minus the Bramhin religion ones will decide what they should do for their good. Bramhins owe no one nothing and no one owes the Brahmins nothing. If the Brahmins want to do something for India they are welcome. They don’t speak for the other religions mentioned above
Miliind obviously has not visited RSS events to confirm what has been fed to him by media and anti -Hindu brigade. RSS does not believe in caste. The amount of social work RSS has done in NE India, for Vanavasis, in the field of education and health is unbelievable. My request to him is to visit some RSS events as observer. He will be welcome with open arms, whatever caste he belongs to. No will will even ask him his cast. Just to clarify, I was not RSS member nor is now.
If he is talking about the past, he will do well to look up histories of other religions too. Greeks, Christians had slaves till recently. And well, he should read “Infidle” by Aayan Hirsi Ali to know more about Islamic practices.
The question is whether the country called India is an accident of British imperialism, or it has some bigger civilization unity that survived last 1000 years of foreign rule. The uniqueness of this land does not come from Christianity that had defined Europe, nor does it comes from Islam that has defined say Morocco or Algeria. The land, the ancient Greeks used to call India, and which the modern European colonised and called India, is an ancient civilization with possibly many nations, having its own distinctive ethos and root. It is an enormously diverse land, where this diversity is respected and celebrated. This is fundamentally different from say, the ethos of France or England or Saudi Arabia, where diversity is not even tolerated. In this country a man worshipping a stone, or a tree as God is equally accepted and respected compared to man following the sophisticated teaching of Buddha or Mahavir. This is an unique land. People who identify themselves with this ethos defines India. This is fundamentally unlike the regimented spirituality followed by the rest of the world. Let not confuse Brahmanism with this core Indian value system.
After practising a crude form of majoritarian politics for four years and dividing Indians based on religion and caste, its time to consolidate the majority vote again! If the Sangh were to ask itself sincerely if the last four years have truly seen sabka saath, sabka vikas, it will get its answer as to why there is disquiet and anti incumbency.
Save India from what exactly? Why is RSS and Modi hell bent on convincing Indians that something was terribly wrong with their country? India was alright till RSS clowns started ruling.
save india from islamic expansionist who feel uncomfortable with the existence of non muslims idiots like you dont read the scriptures of islam
Given that the census-definition of “Hindu” is a leftover-of-nots and includes a mix of disparate tribal-religions and also those of NO religion — the idea of “Hindus uniting to save India” is utterly nonsensical.
