As Uttar Pradesh gears up for its 2027 polls, RSS supremo Mohan Bhagwat lit a beacon of inspiration in Meerut. Speaking to swayamsevaks, he outlined five principles to deepen organizational bonds and expand the RSS footprint. Central to his message was the call for unattached benevolence.
‘You must undertake noble works sincerely and selflessly,’ Bhagwat instructed in his fifth principle. ‘Forget demanding favors like election tickets. Do good deeds and forget them like throwing a stone in a well.’ Excellence in national service, he promised, would integrate even unaware contributors into the RSS fold.
Echoing themes from his recent Lucknow address, Bhagwat reiterated that social cohesion, caste abolition, and cultural oneness form the nation’s foundation. ‘India’s children are siblings, all Hindus at core,’ he proclaimed. This unity, he believes, erodes discrimination and fragmentation.
He dismissed caste as an eternal system, calling it a modern disorder. ‘Once tied to professions, it’s now obsolete—youth attitudes prove it. Our task: unite under the Hindu banner.’ On modernity, Bhagwat drew a fine line: reject servile copying of the West, but adapt innovations fitting timeless principles.
Regarding UGC norms, with the Supreme Court seized of the issue, premature comments are unwise. ‘Prioritize societal unity over speculation,’ he urged. Bhagwat’s Uttarakhand itinerary follows, featuring centenary-driven mega Hindu conclaves aiming for 1,000 events statewide to galvanize cultural revival.
