NAGPUR: As the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) enters its 100 th year, the Sarsanghchalak (chief) Mohan Bhagwat , in his annual Vijaya Dashami speech, to mark the Hindutva fountainhead’s establishment, said, being weak and unorganized is like inviting atrocities from evil. Hindus should take lessons from the events in Bangladesh.
He also captured the idea of Bharat, saying Hindu land in every inch, manifestation of power (shakti) and salutations to Hindus (Hindu Bhoomi Ka Kan-Kan Ho Ab, Shakti Ka Avtar Uthe; Jal Thal Se Ambar Se Fir, Hindu Ki Jai Jaikaar Uthe; Jaga Janani Ka Jaikaar Uthe; Bharat Mata ki Jai)
On society and the country in general he said there is a famous saying -- even God does not care about the weak. “It is certainly the duty of the administration to act against miscreants, but society has to protect their lives and property before the system acts,” he said.
Bhagwat said with this he does not mean to intimidate anyone or incite fighting. “We are all experiencing the existence of such a situation. It is everyone’s responsibility to make the country united, happy, peaceful and strong. The Hindu society has a greater responsibility,” he added.
“Unprovoked incidents like pelting stones at a Ganesh Visarjan procession manifests the grammar of anarchy as referred to by Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. There is a sudden rise in such incidents,” he said.
Bhagwat said the Hindus in Bangladesh are facing persecution and have been reduced to a minority. They will need the help from the Bharatiya govt, and Hindu community all over the world. Unprovoked atrocities against Hindus have been repeated in Bangladesh. This time they came out of their homes to protest and so could ensure some defence, he said.
The speech’s transcript also mentions of Bhagwat's concern over illegal infiltration from Bangladesh which he says is a cause of population imbalance. “The matter does not end there. Now, in Bangladesh there are talks of aligning with Pakistan, which is also a nuclear state as a defence against Bharat. It is the govt’s job to work on a remedy,” he said.
Bhagwat also added that the border states of Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, and coastal states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu, the entire Purvanchal from Bihar to Manipur are disturbed. There is an attempt to create conflict on the basis of caste, language and province. However, he also appreciated the govt for conducting peaceful elections in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Sangh chief also expressed angst over the R G Kar Hospital rape incident in Kolkata, calling it a fallout of infiltration of criminals into politics. “Even after such a heinous crime, the despicable efforts made by some people to protect the criminals show how the nexus of crime and politics and poisonous culture is ruining us.” He also called for a law regulating OTT platforms and said drug abuse was ruining the country’s youth.
Once again touching on the topic, he said words like deep state, woke and cultural Marxism are in discussion nowadays. He called for a need to raise national narrative against such elements remaining within the purview of law. These elements are capturing the educational institutions and spreading their distorted philosophy, he added.
These are declared enemies of cultural traditions. Bhagwat also blamed such elements to have caused events like Arab Spring and recent coup in Bangladesh, as per the speech’s transcript shared by RSS. Expressing concern over the Israel Hamas war, he said everybody is worried about how far the conflict would go.
Bhagwat said there are vested interests against India’s progress. “Commitment of the countries that claim to be liberal, democratic and committed to world peace, suddenly disappears when the question of their security and self-interest arises. They do not hesitate to attack other countries or overthrow their democratically elected govt through illegal or violent means,” he added.
“In a society living together, an identity-based group is motivated to split on the basis of actual or artificially created demands. A feeling of victimhood is created among them. By fanning discontent, the elements are pulled apart from the rest of the society and made aggressive,” said Bhagwat in his reference to Woke, Cultural Marxists and Deep State.
In a call for all sects of Hindus to unite, Bhagwat said the social harmony should not be a mere symbolism. There is a need to develop personal relations with all sects and castes. Sharing an incident from a recent meeting, he said, members of the Rajput community stood up to provide admissions to the children of Valmiki community. That’s how we should help each other.
