On Monday, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat emphasized the need to eliminate the untouchability completely from the country. While addressing an RSS Shakha of over 4000 Swayamsevaks at the Indira Gandhi Sports Ground in Alwar, Dr Bhagwat said, ‘This untouchability feeling must be completely removed. This change must be brought about by transforming the mindset of society. Social harmony is the key to driving this transformation’.

Dr Bhagwat called on the RSS Swayamsevaks to personify five key areas in their lives: social, harmony, environmental conservation, family awareness, a sense of selfhood, and civic discipline. He further added that when the swayamsevaks incorporate these values into their lives, society will follow. He noted that next year marks the 100 years of the RSS. He also urged the Swayamsevaks to fully understand the ideas behind the work they do and to always keep those principles in mind while performing their duties. He emphasized the need to strengthen the country.
‘Our nation has to be made strong and we said in our prayers that this is a Hindu country because the Hindu society is responsible for it. If something good happens in this country, the glory of Hindu society increases, and if something goes wrong, Hindu society is held accountable as it is the steward of the nation’, said Bhagwat. He further added that making the country prosperous and powerful requires hard work and effort. He explained that what we call Hinduism is, in fact, a universal human religion- a religion of humanity that seeks the welfare of all.
Bhagwat said, ‘A Hindu is the most generous person in the world, one who accepts everything and holds goodwill towards all. Hindus are the descendants of brave ancestors who use knowledge not to create conflict but to spread wisdom, use wealth not for indulgence but for charity, and use strength to protect the weak. This is the character and culture of a Hindu, regardless of the form of worship, language, caste, region, or customs. Anyone who holds these values and follows this culture a Hindu’.
He also emphasized the need for environmental conservation, saying that the Hindu tradition views consciousness everywhere, which is why one must take responsibility for environmental care. Bhagwat said, ‘Start with small actions- save water, eliminate single-use plastic, plant trees, and turn your home into a green home with gardens and greenery, both individually and socially’.
