Overview

• Launching the ‘100 Years Journey of RSS: New Horizons’ in New Delhi, Mohan Bhagwat framed Hindu identity in civilisational terms and said people across the subcontinent share a common ancestry.
• He asserted that Hindu Rashtra is unrelated to state power and is defined by justice and equality for all, while emphasizing that the RSS does not remote-control its swayamsevaks.
• About 1,300 invitees attended the opening day, with representatives from roughly 25 embassies present; the event is livestreamed, with a written Q&A scheduled for day three.
• Bhagwat reiterated the goal of India as a vishwaguru, calling for social transformation and a move beyond colonial-era development metrics to realize national potential.
• Organisers said the Delhi series will be followed by similar lectures in Bengaluru, Kolkata and Mumbai, alongside a centenary drive featuring over one lakh Hindu sammelans and door-to-door outreach, with a key address slated in Nagpur on October 2.
