RSS leader Bhaiyyaji Joshi advocates for ‘violence’ to uphold non-violence at Ahmedabad event
Ahmedabad: Senior Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Bhaiyyaji Joshi made a controversial statement on Thursday, asserting that violence is sometimes "necessary" to safeguard the principle of non-violence. Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the 'Hindu Spiritual & Service Fair' at Gujarat University grounds, Joshi emphasized India's responsibility to lead the world on the path of peace by including everyone.
Citing the Mahabharat, Joshi said, "To protect 'dharma,' actions that may appear as 'adharma' are sometimes inevitable, as demonstrated by our ancestors." He underlined that Hinduism embodies non-violence but suggested that taking strong measures, including violence, might be required to protect its ideals.
Joshi also spoke about India's unique ability to foster global harmony, referencing the ancient concept of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' (the world is one family). He stated, "A stronger India and Hindu community assure the world of protection for the weaker and downtrodden."
The RSS leader dismissed the notion that selfless service is exclusive to institutions like churches and missionaries, highlighting the extensive service traditions of Hindu temples, gurdwaras, and organizations, which include feeding nearly one crore people daily and running schools and hospitals.
