On Saturday, speaking at the Vijayadashami Utsav 2024 in Nagpur, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said that when someone's garment was touched by another, the Mahabharata was activated, the kidnapping of Sita led to the Ramayana and what happened in Kolkata at the RG Kar Hospital was a shameful incident that brought disgrace to us all.
"I am here to discuss the incidents that are happening now, like what occurred in Kolkata at the RG Kar Hospital — shameful incidents that bring disgrace to all of us. This is not an isolated event, such incidents happen frequently, and they need to be controlled," said the RSS chief.
He urged the entire society and the doctors as well to be on their toes to prevent such occurrences.
"What is the tradition of our country? What is our country like? The moment someone touched Draupadi's garments, the Mahabharata was triggered. The abduction of Sita led to the Ramayana," he added.
There is a need to provide security, but even after these incidents, attempts were made to shield the criminals, which is alarming.
"The culture of protection for wrongdoers, alongside the alliance between crime and politics, has led to these consequences," he added.
The RSS chief said that the cultural view of India considers motherhood most important along with respect to women.
"Those values we learn from our family consciously or unconsciously become the same values that society absorbs through every possible means. If we, at any level of commitment, do not support these values, the aftermath can be very woeful. We must therefore recognize this and ensure that this fundamental value to our society remains promoted in our community," he further emphasized.
Commenting on the recent Bangladesh crisis, Mohan Bhagwat said, "There are some immediate causes and aspects, which is true, but such a large-scale operation does not happen for those reasons alone."
"The atrocities faced by the Hindu community there have been repeated, and the tradition of their persecution has been revived. For the first time, the Hindu community in Bangladesh organized itself to defend these attacks that have brought them some protection," he added.
And, he further said that whenever there is unrest, it's the weak who are always hit. "The radical tendencies that exist will continue to pose a threat to the Hindus and all minorities in that region. They need support from Hindus worldwide and the Indian government," he said.
Reflecting on the fact that Hindus need to understand that weakness is a crime, RSS chief said, "If we are weak and disorganised, we invite oppression."
He elaborated, "wherever we are we have to be organised and strong, not nurturing hatred nor burdening anyone."
He added on, "We must strive to be positive contributors, but it does not mean that we should remain weak or inactive."
He also said there is a desire for like stories to come out in our country.
"It is expected that when India grows, all these self-serving interests will be curtailed. Therefore, there are industries at work that aim to prevent India's rise. Terms like 'Deep State,' 'vocation,' and 'cultural Marxism' have become prevalent in discussions," he said.
He said that some people claimed that it does not exist in our country, but that's not true, "It has been here for a long time."
The RSS chief said that this ideology is contrary not only to India but to every culture tradition. Its target is the destruction of societies that believe and hold values and morals for the prosperity and well-being of a society.
