Not act of bravery, but moment of responsibility: Mohan Bhagwat on RSS' centenary celebrations

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat marks the Sangh's centenary, calling it a moment of responsibility over bravery and urging social harmony, introspection, and constitutional values.

"This is not bravery... it is a moment of responsibility. - Mohan Bhagwat"

Raipur, January 1

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat has said that Hindu Sammelans are being organised across the country as the Sangh completes 100 years of its journey, stressing that the occasion should not be viewed as an act of "bravery", but as a "moment of responsibility".

"The work of Sangh has completed 100 years, therefore, Hindu Sammelan are being organised across the country," Bhagwat said while addressing a Hindu Sammelan here, adding that the centenary celebrations are not meant for display of power.

"This is not bravery," he added.

Recalling the origin of the organisation, the RSS chief said, "Dr Keshav Baliram Hedgewar formed this Sangh with his blood."

He noted that crises are visible in every field today, but emphasised that merely discussing problems is not the solution. "The stress should be on finding solutions, and not just on discussions," Bhagwat said.

Narrating a story during his address, Bhagwat highlighted what he described as the "present condition of Hindu society" and urged people to introspect. He called upon the gathering to remove discrimination from their minds and work towards greater social harmony.

"We must remove discrimination from minds, inculcate social harmony," he said.

Emphasising linguistic diversity, Bhagwat asserted that all languages spoken in India are national languages and deserve equal respect. He further advocated the use of indigenous products, urging people to support local manufacturing.

Concluding his address, Bhagwat appealed to citizens to follow the Constitution.

On Sunday, Bhagwat, while addressing a gathering in Hyderabad, said that India must once again work towards becoming a 'Vishwaguru', not out of ambition, but because it is the need of the world, emphasising that the time has now come to carry forward the resurgence of Sanatana Dharma.

He cited events from a century ago, noting that around 100 years ago, Yogi Arvind declared that the resurgence of Sanatana Dharma was God's will and that the rise of the Hindu nation was essential to that resurgence.

I appreciate the message of social harmony and respecting all Indian languages. That's the spirit of 'Unity in Diversity' we should all embrace. If these words translate into ground-level actions that bring communities together, it will be a true centenary gift to the nation. 🙏

Talking about 'Vishwaguru' and 'resurgence of Sanatana Dharma' while also appealing to follow the Constitution is a delicate balance. The Constitution guarantees equal rights to all. The real test is whether this sense of responsibility includes protecting the rights and dignity of every single citizen, not just a majority.

As someone living in India for work, I find the push for indigenous products very relevant. Supporting local manufacturing is key for any nation's economy. The focus on solutions over just discussing problems is a universal leadership principle that makes sense.

The RSS has played a significant role in shaping modern India's socio-political landscape. A 100 years is a major milestone. Bhagwat ji's call for introspection is timely. Let's hope this centenary sparks a genuine movement for national unity and development, moving beyond old divisions. Jai Hind!

The rhetoric about becoming a 'Vishwaguru' is interesting. True global leadership comes from exemplary governance, innovation, and human development indices, not just from cultural or spiritual claims. India has massive potential; focusing on these tangible areas would be the real "moment of responsibility."
