In a conversation with a media house on the sidelines of the World Hindu Congress in Bangkok, Dattatreya Hosabale, the Sarkaryavah of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), spoke fervently about the organisation’s vision of unity for Hindus, dismissing the concept of homogenization as a Western imposition. The Congress, aimed at strengthening the potential of Hindus worldwide, has drawn attention to the resurgence of Hindutva and the recent developments surrounding the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.
Hosabale vehemently expressed that the “majority and minority debate is useless,” asserting that the focus should be on fostering unity rather than conforming to a homogenised identity. He pointed out examples of religious minorities in India, such as Parsis and Tibetans, highlighting that their minuscule numbers did not deter them from practising their faith without facing significant problems. Hosabale argued that the richness of Bharat lies in its diversity and that the RSS’s objective is to promote unity while preserving this diversity.
