Unity in Diversity Is in Bharat's DNA, Must Be Celebrated: RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat in New York
Bhagwat said the diaspora should stay loyal to their country of residence and said India’s diversity and unity are part of its DNA.
- On Saturday, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat addressed around 5,000 people at New York's Madison Square Garden, urging the Indian diaspora to remain loyal to the United States as their "Karma Bhumi" while honoring Bharat as their "Janma Bhumi."
- Bhagwat arrived in the United States on Tuesday as part of the RSS centenary-year global outreach programme, with the AHEAD Forum organizing the Madison Square Garden event to articulate the organization's worldview.
- Earlier this week, Mayor Zohran Mamdani opposed the rally, describing it as based on an "exclusionary vision," while interfaith groups including the Interfaith Centre of New York held a press conference outside City Hall calling for cancellation.
- Speaking at the One World: One Humanity Faith Leaders' Summit, Bhagwat stated the RSS does not discriminate, emphasizing that "if any Hindu thinks that there should be no Muslims in Bharat, he will not remain Hindu."
- Invoking Swami Vivekananda, Bhagwat argued that Bharat's mission is to demonstrate "unity in diversity" as part of the nation's DNA, while citing historian Yuval Noah Harari to underscore humanity's duty to sustain other species.
