Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat asserted that the Sangh’s philosophy is rooted in inclusiveness, emphasizing that Muslims, Christians, and Hindus all participate in its shakhas without any discrimination. “We don’t ask who is what. We are all sons of Mother India,” Bhagwat said during a two-day lecture series, “100 Years of the Sangh Journey: New Horizons,” held at the Vishwa Samvad Kendra in Bengaluru from November 8–9.

Addressing the concluding day of the event, Bhagwat clarified that the Sangh does not belong to any political party. “We have no special attachment to any one party. No party is ours, and all parties are ours because they are Indian parties. We support national policy, not politics. We will support anyone who works in that direction,” he said.

On the issue of the saffron flag, Bhagwat explained that while saffron is considered the guru in the Sangh tradition, the organization holds the national tricolor in high respect.

He also addressed questions about the Sangh’s legal status, saying, “The RSS is a group of individuals, not a registered entity. After independence, registration was not mandatory. The Income Tax Department and the courts recognize us as a group of people, and the organization has income tax exemption.”

Bhagwat recalled that the RSS was banned three times in its history but continued to grow stronger each time. “If we were not there, then who was banned? There are many things that are not registered — even Hinduism is not registered,” he remarked.

Six Key Points from Bhagwat’s Address:

1. Everyone in India is Hindu:
All Muslims and Christians are descendants of the same ancestors. “There are no non-Hindus in India,” he said.


2. India is an ancient nation:
Bhagwat stated that India was not created by the British but is an ancient civilization with its own distinct cultural identity rooted in the word ‘Hindu’.


3. Being Hindu means responsibility:
He emphasized that being Hindu means taking responsibility for the nation and upholding its culture.


4. Hindu nation not against Constitution:
According to Bhagwat, calling India a Hindu nation does not contradict the Constitution but aligns with its spirit of unity.


5. RSS remained steadfast despite opposition:
Despite bans and attacks, the Sangh continued to work selflessly, he said.


6. Goal: Reach every village and every class:
The RSS aims to expand its presence to every corner of the country and unite all sections of society through shared cultural values.
