Future of Bharat: An RSS perspective from RSS head Mohan Bhagwat

#RSSDialogue : RSS head Mohan Bhagwat Answers Questions At RSS Event In Delhi


What points he is putting across, nobody understands the vernacular/colloquial Hindi here...except for the few words.

And we know Bharat is a Hindu Nation....about time the thin fake veil of a secular country is thrown out.

Nobody cares


A Hindu Bharat is good for us...

We have been made aware of about the future of Bharat 1400 years ago so we don't need to waste time on an RSS chadi.

Yet the key question is, are the foot soldiers of the Bajrang Dal, VHP, and other malevolent and violent parivar outfits on the ground in the mood to follow their leader? Will they give up on their prime raison d’etre, namely a relentless hatred of the ‘Mussalman’? Is a rethink in air-conditioned Vigyan Bhavan going to be able to stop the gau rakshaks in the fields or are the fine words only a giant PR exercise?

For decades the RSS has chafed at its ‘untouchability’, it still bears the stigma of Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination and non-participation in the freedom struggle. Yet today, having streaked to the pinnacle of power in Raisina Hill, the RSS feels politically and socially secure enough to try and co-opt the freedom struggle’s legacy and even reach for glasnost and perestroika.

But Bhagwat’s Gorbachev moment could only be designed for votes and publicity.

Will the RSS rethink the original Hindutva icon Vinayak Damodar Savarkar’s formulation of “punyabhumi” and “pitrabhumi,” that Muslims are secondary citizens because their holy lands lie outside India? Will Sangh outfits call off their ‘love jihad’ and ‘ghar wapsi’ campaigns? Will the Sangh accept that the Ram Mandir issue is not a matter of faith but a purely legal dispute? Will the RSS convince its adherents not to force Muslims to sing Vande Mataram? The karta of the parivar has spoken of change, but we still don’t know if family members are willing to listen.

Evidently, the RSS wants its place in the sun. Today the Hindutva parivar’s biggest face is PM Modi, whose persona dwarfs Bhagwat. No wonder the RSS is anxious for its share of media space, not only to assert its importance but also to reposition itself in an election year when coalitions are in the air and political outcomes remain uncertain.

Yet oratory at Vigyan Bhavan is not enough. The real question is, will the RSS manage to pull off a fundamental rethink on all its positions, from religious minorities to Dalits to its views on re-writing history or indeed to its definition of nationhood? And will the parivar masses agree to this call for an ideological overhaul?

no hindu in pakistan can question a muslim minister why he is attending islamic meet , here rana ayub is free to ask why hindu minister is attending hindu conference . rana ayub should go to pakistan.
That's not true... Hindus can question but Pakistan does not masquerade as secular state..

Indiam government is secular. The state is secular in dealing with its citizens. That's why a Muslim can become President of India and a Sikh it's prime minister. While Pakistan can't even appoint a economist in advisory role due to his religion.

Every citizen has his right to privacy and freedom. The freedom also includes the right to criticise and even hate until it's not harming anyone. Fundamental rights and constitution are beyond you though.
