RSS Chief Emphasises that 1947 Arrivals Chose India for Religious Freedom

During his address at the Sindhu Education Society’s platinum jubilee, Mohan Bhagwat of the RSS underscored that the people who moved from Pakistan to India in 1947 made a conscious decision to cross the border. He said their migration was not the result of forced displacement, but a strategic choice to settle in a nation that respected their faith. Bhagwat added that calling them ‘refugees’ understates their resolve and the hardships they endured for the cause of liberty and cultural preservation.
