Event Summary

Mohan Bhagwat, chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), delivered a speech in Mumbai addressing the plight of approximately 1.25 crore Hindus in Bangladesh. He stated that if they choose to fight for their rights, they would receive support from Hindus worldwide. His remarks come amid rising mob violence targeting minorities, particularly Hindus, in Bangladesh, following the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the 'July Uprising' in August 2024. The unrest has led to attacks on Hindu citizens, including businessmen, laborers, and students. Bhagwat also touched upon domestic issues in India, such as demographic changes due to birth rates and illegal immigration, asserting that the current government is addressing these concerns. He emphasized India's strength and the RSS's non-political, unifying role, funded by its workers rather than corporate sources. He also clarified the RSS's inclusive stance on caste and its approach to avoiding confrontation in Muslim-majority areas.
