RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat today said Hindutva was about embracing the humanity notwithstanding the prevalent diversity in language, culture and food habits.
He gave a clear hint that the Sangh was not harbouring any intention to interfere with the food habits and culture of the people of Northeast and obliquely tried to counter the apprehension aired by political opponents in poll-bound tribal states of Meghalaya and Nagaland that local tribal people’s food habits (read beef consumption) would be severely interfered with if the saffron party was voted to power in those states.
“Accept and respect all diversity to find inner happiness. This is how humanity in this lifetime is accomplished. We have this uniqueness of diversity gifted to us by our motherland,” Bhagwat said at an RSS rally here today.
“India forgot enmity with Pakistan on August 15, 1947, but Pakistan has not done so as yet. To bring our country back on its feet is the goal of RSS. It is not a selfish or parochial motive. Around the world, humanity has for the past 2,000 years tried many things for world peace, but they have failed. They need a new route and India will provide that new path for the people. India has been doing so since millenniums,” Bhagwat said.
“Our uniqueness lies in diversity of religion and different ways of life... but at the core, our essence is all same. We need to seek happiness within, even the illiterate people in India are wise enough to know this truth that many in the world fail to understand,” he said. Over 40,000 RSS swayamsevaks from Assam, Meghalaya and Nagaland attended the rally named Luitporia Hindu Samabesh. Luitporia here refers to the Brahmaputra. — TNS
