Overview
- The RSS chief urged Hindus not to judge others by caste, wealth, language or region, saying India belongs to everyone and calling this spirit true social harmony.
- He said temples, water bodies and cremation grounds should be open to all Hindus, describing such steps as efforts to unite rather than to create conflict.
- Bhagwat pressed families to set aside one day each week for home-cooked meals, prayers and ‘mangal samvad’ to strengthen bonds and deter loneliness and bad habits.
- He promoted speaking the mother tongue at home and learning regional languages, alongside swadeshi, adherence to the Constitution and everyday conservation such as saving water, curbing single-use plastic and planting trees.
- The remarks were delivered at a Hindu Sammelan in Raipur as part of the RSS centenary outreach, and several outlets framed the appeal against the backdrop of concern over attacks on migrants, including Anjel Chakma’s death in Dehradun.
