Overview
- RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, speaking in London on Sunday, presented 'Apnapan'—pure, sattvik love—and 'Suddha Sadhvik Prem' as the organisation's core values and rejected claims that the group is driven by hatred.
- He defined 'Hindu Rashtra' as a message that diversity is natural and unity is the underlying truth, saying the idea does not demand uniformity or conversion of other faiths.
- Bhagwat urged the Indian diaspora to spare time and resources to serve 'Matrabhumi' while remaining honest to their 'Karma Bhumi', framing overseas communities as partners in service rather than as agents of divided loyalty.
- The London 'Celebration of Oneness' began with a homage to Nepal flood victims and drew roughly 600 attendees including UK legislators and community leaders, continuing a three‑city centenary outreach that included large events in New York and Toronto.
- The overseas tour is expanding the RSS's footprint in Western diasporic forums even as earlier U.S. programmes prompted political and watchdog scrutiny, a development that could prompt closer visa and transparency reviews of diaspora-linked groups.
