"The Sangh and Doctor Sahab are synonymous," says Mohan Bhagwat

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat says the Sangh is not changing but manifesting gradually, drawing parallels between its evolution and a seed growing into a tree.

"The Sangh and Doctor Sahab are synonymous words. - Mohan Bhagwat"

New Delhi, January 11

RSS Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday said that the Sangh and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh founder, Dr Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, commonly referred to as "Doctor Sahab" are synonymous, asserting that RSS is not changing but is gradually manifesting itself in different forms.

Dr Bhagwat was speaking at a programme held at Keshav Kunj in Jhandewalan, Delhi, where he released two songs from the film '100 Years of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh - Shatak' - 'Bharat Maa Ke Bacche' and 'Bhagwa Hai Meri Pehchaan'. The songs are performed by noted singer Sukhwinder Singh.

Addressing the gathering, Dr Bhagwat said, "The Sangh and Doctor Sahab are synonymous words." He added that as the Sangh evolves into new forms, people feel it is changing, but in reality, it is only manifesting gradually. He compared this process to a seed growing into a tree, saying that similarly, the life of Doctor Sahab - the ideology and spirit of the Sangh - is embodied in this evolution.

Dr Bhagwat further said that the psychology of the RSS founder, Dr Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, is a subject worthy of research. Recalling an incident from Doctor Sahab's childhood, he said that when Dr Hedgewar was just 11 years old, both his parents passed away on the same day within an hour.

He said that such a traumatic experience at a young age would normally leave a person withdrawn or detached, but it did not have a negative impact on Doctor Sahab's mind or personality. "Doctor Sahab was a patriot by birth," he said, adding that the ability to absorb such a great shock without letting the mind be shaken reflected the strong and healthy mental state he already possessed.

On the occasion, RSS All India Executive Committee member Suresh (Bhaiyyaji) Joshi, singer Sukhwinder Singh, producer Veer Kapoor, director Ashish Mal, and several other dignitaries were present at the event.

Interesting perspective on evolution vs. change. Like a seed becoming a tree, the core ideology remains but adapts to the times. Looking forward to hearing the songs by Sukhwinder Singh ji.

With all due respect to the organization and its founder, I hope this "manifestation in different forms" includes greater inclusivity and openness to dialogue with all sections of Indian society. That would be a true tribute.

As someone relatively new to understanding Indian socio-political organizations, the analogy of the seed and the tree is quite powerful. It speaks to having a strong foundational philosophy.

The resilience of Dr. Hedgewar is remarkable. His story is a lesson in turning personal tragedy into a force for national good. More such historical figures should be discussed in our schools.

'Bhagwa Hai Meri Pehchaan' – the title itself is so evocative. It's good to see cultural expressions of ideology through music and film. Art has always been a strong medium for conveying messages.
