Mohan Bhagwat calls for making Bharat mighty but righteous

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has called for unity in the Hindu society and making Bharat so mighty in military power and economy that it cannot be “conquered” even if “multiple powers come” together.

He, however, stressed that strength should be combined with virtues and righteousness as a “mere brute power” can be directionless leading to “blatant violence”.

India has no option but to be powerful as it has been “witnessing the wickedness of the evil forces” on all its borders, Bhagwat said in an interview published in the latest issue of RSS-linked weekly magazine Organiser.

The interview was conducted following the RSS’ highest decision-making body Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha’s meeting in Bengaluru about two months ago.

“We must strive for strength. As we pray through the daily prarthana (prayer): ‘Ajayyam cha visvasya dehisa saktim’ (Grant us such strength that globally we are invincible),” Bhagat told the magazine when asked to share the Sangh’s vision on national security, military strength and economic power.
