Bhagwat Defines 'Hindu' as Civilisational Identity in Assam, Signals Manipur Visit on Centenary Tour

The RSS leader uses high-profile outreach to press a five-point societal program alongside demographic warnings in the Northeast.

Overview

  • In Guwahati, Mohan Bhagwat said anyone who takes pride in Bharat is a Hindu, calling the term a civilisational identity and asserting that Bharat and Hindu are synonymous without needing official declaration.
  • He described the RSS as focused on character-building rather than opposing anyone and urged collective efforts toward nation-building.
  • Addressing Assam, he warned about demographic changes, flagged illegal infiltration, advocated a balanced population policy including a three-child norm for Hindus, and urged resistance to divisive religious conversions.
  • The centenary outreach highlights Panch Parivartan, a five-point agenda spanning social harmony, family strengthening, environmental stewardship, self-reliance and cultural awareness, and civic responsibility.
  • Bhagwat is on a three-day visit to Assam with a youth meet scheduled, and sources say he is likely to visit Manipur on November 20–22 for meetings in Imphal, as further outreach continues with planned engagements in West Bengal after extensive PNS events in at least 35 locations in North Bengal and Sikkim.
