There is no ‘Ahindu’ in India, as everyone is a descendant of same ancestors: Mohan Bhagwat

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat on Saturday said that there is no “Ahindu” (non-Hindu) in India, as everyone is a descendant of the same ancestors, and the core culture of the country is Hindu.

Mr. Bhagwat argued that all Muslims and Christians are descendants of the same ancestors. “They probably don’t know it, or they are made to forget it,” he added, while delivering a lecture on “100 Years of Sangh Journey: New Horizons” in Bengaluru on Saturday.

Hindus were “responsible” for Bharat, he said, asserting that the RSS aimed to organise Hindu society for the glory of the nation, not for power.

“It just wants to serve, organise society for the glory of Bharat Mata. Somehow, in our country, people found it very hard to believe, but now they believe,” the RSS chief said.

He said that when questions were raised about why RSS focused on Hindu society, the answer was that Hindus were responsible for Bharat.

“It is not that the British gave us nationhood; we are an ancient nation. Everywhere in the world, people agree that every nation has its core culture. There are many inhabitants, but there is a core culture. What is the core culture of Bharat? Whatever description we give, it leads us to the word Hindu,” he said.
