‘Have to take PoK back’: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat talks oneness of India
Bhopal: On the concluding day of his two-day visit to the BJP-ruled state’s Vindhya region, RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat addressed a gathering in Satna district on Sunday, emphasising the oneness of India as a unified nation.
Bhagwat expressed his happiness that many Sindhi brothers had chosen to stay in undivided India instead of migrating to Pakistan, emphasising the importance of passing this message on to the new generation. He highlighted that, despite being separated by circumstances, the original "home" and their current "home" are not separate.
“The whole of India is one home. But someone has usurped one room of our house, where we kept our table, chair and clothes. We have to take it back,” The New Indian Express quoted the RSS chief as saying.
Calling for unity, he pointed out that everyone is one—Sanatanis and Hindus alike. Bhagwat explained that the British had divided the people by presenting them with a broken mirror, but now, to unite, they must look into a clear and positive reflection. By embracing spiritual traditions, he assured, they would undoubtedly come together as one.
The RSS chief asserted that even those who openly reject being identified as Hindus are still recognised globally as having originated from Hinduism or are referred to as Hindu or Hindawi. He urged people to not forsake their religion and traditions in pursuit of personal desires. “Instead, abandon your ego and recognise your own self. If we carry forward the self of the country, all our own self-interests will be fulfilled,” he said.
Amid growing controversy over languages in the country, he offered a three-language mantra for every citizen. Speaking at the inauguration of the newly constructed Baba Mehar Shah Darbar building, Bhagwat highlighted that all languages in India are national languages, stating that every citizen should know at least three languages: their home language (mother tongue), the state language, and a national language.
