India was a "Hindu nation", Hindus must be united by eliminating differences for 'own safety', says RSS chief

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said that Hindus should be united by eradicating all differences and disputes of language, caste and province for their "own security".

Addressing a gathering of RSS volunteers in Rajasthan's Baran, Bhagwat said, "For its security, Hindu society will have to unite by eliminating differences and disputes of language, caste, and province. Society should be such that organisation, goodwill and intimacy should be practised."

He further said that "discipline of conduct, duty towards the state and being goal-orientated" were necessary in a society.

"Society is not made only by me and my family. Rather, we have to achieve God in our life



by taking all-round concern for society," Bhagwat said.

He further went on to say that India was a "Hindu nation" and that the term Hindu referred to "all sects" of people living in the country.

Bhagwat said that the functioning of the RSS was "not mechanical, but idea based".

"It is an unparalleled organisation whose values trickle down from the group leaders to the volunteers, their families and to the society at large," he added.

A total of 3,827 RSS volunteers attended the event. The event was also attended by senior RSS functionaries Ramesh Agarwal, Jagdish Singh Rana, Ramesh Chand Mehta and Vaidya Radheshyam Garg, among others.
