Sentiment awakening in youth of channelling education towards national progress: RSS leader Indresh Kumar
New Delhi, June 8
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh leader Indresh Kumar has emphasised the "gradual transformation" taking place across the country, saying that a sentiment is awakening among the youth if education is channelled towards them for national progress.
Kumar participated in the Muslim Students and Youth Conference held in the national capital on Sunday, and stressed that the event conveys the message of love and calls for the eradication of hate.
"A gradual transformation is taking place in the country. A sentiment is awakening among the youth that if we channel education towards national progress, we can build a better nation--a better Hindustan. This event conveys a message of love and calls for the eradication of hatred; it challenges those who believe that Hindus and Muslims could not coexist, inspiring them instead to come together, live together, and move forward together. Ultimately, the parties that seek to divide and fragment the country will inevitably face defeat one day," Indresh Kumar told ANI.
Last week, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat asserted that India is destined to emerge as a global leader based on the principles of Dharma, but warned that several forces are actively working to create divisions and unrest in society to prevent the country's rise.
Addressing the public valedictory function of the RSS Karyakarta Vikas Varg-Dwitiya at Reshimbagh Ground in Nagpur, Bhagwat said, "There are forces trying to divide society and create instability through various means. Efforts are being made, both directly and indirectly, to influence and weaken our cultural values and traditions. Despite these challenges, India must move forward and successfully fulfil its responsibility of showing a new path to the world based on Dharma," he said.
Stressing that moral correctness alone is not enough in international affairs, Bhagwat said nations must possess strength if they want their voice to be heard.
"The world listens to those who have power. Merely being right does not ensure that your views are accepted. Global events repeatedly demonstrate that strength determines influence. Powerful nations often act according to their own interests, while weaker nations are left with little choice but to accept the consequences," he said.

I appreciate the message of love and coexistence, but actions speak louder than words. Let's see if this translates into real, tangible policies that bring communities together. The speech is nice, but we need practical steps.
Mohan Bhagwat's point about strength is spot on. In today's world, being morally right without power means nothing. We need a strong India that commands respect. Dharma isn't weakness—it's our guiding light.
As someone from the US living in India, I'm impressed by the sangh's inclusive messaging here. The youth focus on education and national progress is universal. It's refreshing to see leaders promoting unity over division.
Education for national progress is a beautiful vision, but let's be honest—our education system needs serious reform first. Rote learning isn't going to build a nation. We need critical thinking and skill development.
"Those who seek to divide will face defeat" — that's the spirit! 🌟 Hindutva isn't about excluding others; it's about celebrating our ancient civilisational values while embracing diversity. Exactly what India needs.
Impressive rhetoric, but where's the beef? I've heard similar speeches before. How does
