Nagpur, Maharashtra – “There is no need to celebrate the centenary year of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). The Sangh is not doing it to boost the ego of the organisation. The Sangh is not here to celebrate the completion of 100 years of an organisation and indulge in chest-thumping and take credit for some achievements,” the organisation’s chief H.H. Sarsanghchalak (Dr) Mohan Ji Bhagwat said at a book launch.

The victory of the society should be understood not through money, but through Dharma

H.H. Sarsanghchalak (Dr) Mohan Ji Bhagwat said functionaries faced stiff opposition, lack of resources and difficulty connecting people when the RSS was formed in 1925 in Nagpur, adding that members must keep doing their work irrespective of the situation.  The Sangh is not doing this to boost ego. RSS did not come to celebrate the completion of 100 years and to carry out some activities. The RSS wants to transform society and believes that the victory of society must not be judged on wealth creation but on religion The victory of this society would empower other societies and (therefore) benefit the universe. RSS wants to create people who try to bring about reforms in society in such a way. It is not about patting your back.

We should proudly say that we are Hindus

He further said, “Foreigners have completely brainwashed our people. We have a bad habit of forgetting what we are. There is a psychological difference among our people because we were ruled by many for centuries. The country over the past 1000-1500 years successfully fought back foreign invasions from time to time, but the nation would end up in slavery time and again due to mistakes and traitors from within. This disease needs to be addressed or else it will keep happening. There was a lack of knowledge in the country about who we are, adding that years of slavery had brought about mental suppression due to which there was a lack of courage to speak and think clearly.  Hence, we need to organise society with a sutra that unites us all. We should know our identity clearly and tell the world as well. That identity is Hindu and we should say with pride that we are Hindu. To give a permanent message to invaders, we must treat some of our basic mistakes and that is what (RSS founder Keshav) Dr Hedgewar did.
