Hindu nation and ideologically all Indians are Hindus." He further clarified that "Hindu means Hindustani". The whole country has now understood the meaning of Hindu and Hindu Rashtra, hence there is no need for Mohan Bhagwat to preach.

Dr. Salim Khan

Fear is not visible, it cannot be measured or weighed, but it becomes quite apparent through words and actions as to who is scared and who is not? Despite all the ideological differences with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, it must be admitted that it was a serious organization for a while.

Since there was no lust for fame among its leaders, they avoided provocative statements. The situation of the current RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat is an exception. He comes into limelight every two to four weeks by making some or the other controversial statement. According to his habit, on September 1, while inaugurating a new building of a newspaper company in Nagpur, Maharashtra, he said that "Hindustan is a Hindu nation and ideologically all Indians are Hindus." He further clarified that "Hindu means Hindustani". The whole country has now understood the meaning of Hindu and Hindu Rashtra, hence there is no need for Mohan Bhagwat to preach.

According to Mohan Bhagwat, 'The people who are in India today belong to Hindu culture, Hindu ancestors and Hindu land.' There is a difference of time in Bhagwat's claim. If he had said this in the case of the past instead of the present, then it could have been correct to some extent, but the same cannot be applied on the present or the future. For example, if Mohan Bhagwat tells British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak that 'You were related to Hindu culture, Hindu ancestors and Hindu territory' then he will agree, but if he says 'You are an Indian' then he will say, 'Sorry. Baba, I am British, at present I have no connection with India.' Similarly, many people who live in Britain with Indian passports have connections with India. If Bhagwat does not understand even this difference one should not bother to explain it to him.

The RSS chief further said, “Some people have understood it, while some, due to their old habits and selfishness, are not implementing it even after understanding it. Apart from this, some people have either not understood it yet or have forgotten it.” The fact is that even now those people are trapped in the trap of Hindu religion who have not yet understood the caste system. Or those who could not distinguish between monotheism and polytheism. Those who have knowledge of the teachings given by Allah have thrown this noose off their necks and are now free. When Bhagwat ji will understand these universal truths, it is quite in the realm of possibility that he too will try to break these chains and become free, as former Sarsanghchalak Sudarshan did, but his audacity was suppressed. Referring to the expectations of the people, Bhagwat said that the Sangh should be concerned about everyone. In response to this, the minorities of the country politely request them to celebrate their own well-being and leave others to their fate, because this couplet of Ghalib fits these fascists -

This fitna is not less than the desolateness of a man.

Why are you the friend of the one whose enemy is the s

Mohan Bhagwat expressed his happiness by saying, “Our ideology is in great demand all over the world. Everyone has understood him. Some accept it, some don't." The reality is that only a misguided person can accept it out of ignorance [not out of ignorance, some people have definitely accepted it because of their materialistic interests, but till date not even a single person has been found who has accepted the Hindu religion. If this had happened, there would have been an uproar in the media, but the truth is that till date the media has not been able to present even a single person who has been converted out if conviction. But those who understand it have abandoned it. This has happened in the past and is happening even today. This is the reason why strictest laws are being made to stop religious conversion. Maulana Kalim Siddiqui and Maulana Umar Gautam are arrested on absurd charges for the purpose of torturing them. Mosques, shrines and churches are attacked. In Orissa, Pastor Graham Staines and his two sons are burnt alive by Dara Singh of Bajrang Dal and is waiting to be hanged along with his companion Mahendra. Such cruelty is indulged in by those whose ground is slipping from under their feet. Those religions which are accepted by other people do not see the need for such atrocious acts.

In earlier times, the media did not pay attention to the verbosity of the Sangh, hence the public did not know what some frogs were saying inside a well. After coming to power, when the media was bought over , their views started getting published and their visibility went up. In the beginning, there was such terror that no one had the audacity to challenge him. At that time, either there was a fear of violence or people remained silent due to the fear of annoying the voters but now times are changing.

A proof of this came to light when Samajwadi Party leader Swami Prasad Maurya expressed his strong reaction to Mohan Bhagwat's controversial statement regarding Hindu Rashtra, regardless of Yogi's double engine government. He said that Hindustan is not a Hindu country nor was it ever a Hindu country in the past. Swami Prasad said that we are a self-reliant nation and our Constitution is based on the concept of secularism. All the people of India are Indians. The Constitution of the country represents all religions, sects, castes and cultures. This befitting reply of Swami Prasad Maurya is praiseworthy.

Swami Prasad Maurya had earlier criticized Ramcharitmanas, and there was a lot of opposition to his statement. At one public meeting  someone even threw a shoe at him. It is another matter that Maurya's companions caught that attacker and beat him up. This time too, after answering Bhagwat, the effigy of Swami Prasad Maurya was burnt, but Yogi's administration had to take action against the culprits. People protesting against the Samajwadi Party leader have also been accused of violating prohibitory orders. UP Police blamed a Hindu organization Hindu Kranti Sena for this and registered a case against more than 30 of its workers. A case under Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code has also been registered against 8 persons including Kranti Sena's General Secretary Manoj. In Uttar Pradesh, where communalism is at its peak, Maurya showed great courage by challenging Bhagwat.

The controversy was hardly over when Tamil Nadu Sports Minister and Chief Minister M.K. Stalin's son compared Sanatana Dharma to the corona virus or the malaria-causing dengue virus, which is spread by mosquitoes. Uday Nidhi, in his address to the meeting of Tamil Nadu Progressive Writers Forum said that mosquito is not good or bad, but it is destroyed. He alleged that Sanatan Dharma is against equality and social justice. That's why it should be abolished. Such ideas should not only be opposed, but should be eradicated. The fact is that Sanatan Dharma is a pond from which mosquitoes of caste-based discrimination come out and spread the poison of discrimination or untouchability, therefore, until this pond dries up, the society will continue to suffer abuses, injustice and atrocities. Will keep burning in the fire of Under the guise of this statement, the entire BJP from Amit Shah to Amit Malviya started raising noise against the 'India' alliance, but now the days of fear are over.

Congress obviously distanced itself from this, but its MP Karthik Chidambaram wrote on 'X' that Sanatan Dharma is nothing but a social system based on caste. Caste system is a curse for India. Similarly, Priyank Kharge, son of the Congress President and a minister in the Karnataka government, said that any religion which does not give equal rights or does not treat you like a human being is like a disease. A religion that does not promote human equality or ensure that you have the dignity of being a human being is not a religion. Such display of courage on the part of Congress is very pleasing. This is what MK Stalin said in the first episode of the ‘Speaking for India’ podcast series.

The DMK chief said that the 'India' alliance has been created for social justice, social harmony, secular politics and restoration of socialism. BJP. Regarding this, he warned that if it is not stopped now then no one can save India. Due to the hatred sown inside Gujarat in 2002, communal clashes are taking place in Manipur and Haryana. According to Stalin, the 'India' alliance will have to win to prevent the whole of India from becoming Manipur and Haryana. In this way, a political fight is now turning into an ideological war and this is hurting Mohan Bhagwat and the RSS. Will come to his senses Inshallah!
