Hello and welcome to The show, thank you for joining me!
RSS has long been maligned as a fascist organization that hates Muslims and wants only Hindus to remain in India.
There has been a long campaign of misinformation against the RSS and Mohan Bhagwat’s speech on Vijayadashami becomes important in that context.
The way he talks about India’s composite culture, will give heartburn to leftists who call RSS similar to the Nazis.
Here are 10 main points from his speech
What I really liked in this speech is he talked about personal responsibility. The government will not hold your hand and do everything for you. You need to take responsibility.
1.Govt knows how to take a tough decision. One nation, one constitution. Used democratic means to abrogate 370
2.Security at Eastern border and coasts important. Bangladeshi infiltration, Rohingyas, and Chinese presence in seas around India is a cause for concern.
3. India is a plural culture. There are dangers from within who do not want India to succeed. They want to use India’s diversity against it
This was a jibe at Tukde tukde gang who want to divide India as opposed to Indian culture, which connects.
4. The problem of lynching has been exaggerated and used to malign communities. Happens from both sides.
Lynching is not an Indian concept. Stoning comes from the Bible. This was a concept practiced in the Middle East where the book was written. USA has a long history of lynching that was justified using the Bible.
5. We have to try and bring everyone together and follow the rule of law. Don’t react violently to speech. Thi is huge for him to say because free speech in India is not free.
India is for ALL Indians. Law needs to be implemented equally for EVERYONE. There are many Swavamsevaks in the government and the law must be applied FAIRLY.
Again, unlike what Leftists are saying, Bhagwats is nor saying India for Hindus, they er not saying kill all minorities, he is saying the exact opposite. But leftists will keep ignoring.
There is a need for citizens to follow law & order which they don’t. Starts from self
Now I understand this and that is a very fair point, but I think what he missed out was the government needs to ensure better law and order. Police reform, recruitment and better equipment for the police is also required.
Personal responsibility is good, but the law and order situation needs work from the government.
6. Trade with an eye on self-dependence is called Swadeshi. We live in a globalized world and we need to accept that reality.
According to me, a country should focus on making things that they have a comparative advantage in. If the government tries to force making things they do not have a comparative advantage in, then the industry will suffer.
7. He said, In a society where women are worshipped, it is a shame that women are unsafe. WOmen need to be given the same opportunities and freedom as men, they are very enterprising. This responsibility Starts from home.
8. Speaking for Hindus does not mean speaking against Muslims. Hinduism is not a binary like Islam. Hinduism gives you the freedom to believe what you want. Hinduism believes in “main bhi sahi”, Islam believed in “main hi sahi”
Then he said that India is a Hindu Rashtra. Owaisi felt the burn from this one
This is how these vested interests and the Islamists try to twist the meaning of what being a Hindu and a Hindu Rashtra is.
There is a difference between a rashtra/culture, and a state. India needs to be a secular state. The RSS has always maintained that. But culturally India is a Hindu rashtra.
Bhagwat said, that Everyone in India has a Hindu culture, anyone who believes in plurality is Hindu. Live your life according to your tradition. Based on mutual respect and pluralism.
People like Asaduddin Owaise believe in “main hi sahi”, not main bhi sahi, tum bhi sahi.
Some people want to call it Indic/Indian, we are fine with that definition. That just shows a geographical identity. We just call it Hindu. Hindu is a cultural and geographical identity. And I agree with definition.
No matter what religion you are, an Indian’s culture is Hindu. India’s soul is Hindu.
People like Asaduddin Owaise believe in “main hi sahi”, not main bhi sahi, tum bhi sahi. For them plurality will not work. They want India to be “main hi sahi”. And we all have to fight against that mindset, no matter what religion.
10.No one respects a weak person. So the Hindu nation must be strong. Strength means magnanimity, it doesn’t mean being a bully. Being a bully shows a weak mindset. That is a Rakshasa’s behaviour
So this speech was quite good and it really begs the question from Islamists and tukde tukde gang: Where is the fascism? Where is the Nazism? He talks about mutual respect and magnanimity
I think it was a great speech that highlighted why India is such a unique and great culture
I'm interested to see how the leftists spin this speech
where was the fascism? Let me know in the comments if you spotted it!
