Whenever RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat speaks something, he has been accepted to be related to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party of the country without thinking anything. In such a situation, what he has said in Vigyan Bhavan this time will be seen by connecting with BJP itself. First of all, it is important to say that the Hindu nation has nothing to do with power, but it has great meaning. At a time when Hinduist politics in the country is at its peak, this speech given by Mohan Bhagwat becomes very important.
Really when they say that the word Hindu Rashtra has no meaning with power, it has deep political implications. Because often the BJP government has been continuously accusing the government that it uses this ideology as a tool to gain power and remain in it. Needless to say that the Sangh has been giving BJP from time to time to give ideological doses and enlightened guidelines. This is the reason that despite all their differences, the Sangh and BJP go to one point and become one.

In such a situation, it is clear that Bhagwat’s statement is not just a game of words, but is a simple and simple expression of the original ideological stream of the Sangh, which also determines a suitable direction for the ruling BJP -led NDA government in the country. In such a situation, the question is that what is the meaning of this statement of the Sangh chief? Does it give a message to the BJP leaders, which is seen wandering directly from time to time-leaks?
As such, the 21st century great kingmaker Mohan Bhagwat keeps clarifying policy things from time to time. In such a situation, his latest statement has also come at a time when the opposition scattered in the India coalition is constantly accusing the BJP that it is promoting majority and polarization. There is no doubt that due to their foresight, the BJP is in power at the Center for the third consecutive time. Apart from this, in many other states, he also has the strength of Subhai power in his hand.
Therefore, the union chief can also be seen as an exercise of a political balance to say that the Hindu nation does not mean power. It is clear from this that the Sangh wants to indicate the BJP to soften the issue of Hindu nation slightly. Since change is the eternal law of the universe. Therefore, policy reforms are expected in time in the thoughts of the Sangh. In such a situation, the RSS which has been vocal about the Hindu nation since the early days of its establishment, is also becoming soft.
Please tell that Sadashiv Golwalkar, who is called Guruji, defined it and said that the soul of India is Hindu and the roots of the culture here have come out of Hindutva. The Sangh has really believed that the word Hindu is not just religious, but it includes civilization, tradition, lifestyle and social values. This is the reason that the Sangh always kept saying that Muslims, Christians, Parsis or other religious groups are also as many parts of this nation as Hindus. Therefore, it is a very straightforward and clear message that Bhagwat’s statement repeats the old line of the Sangh.
Needless to say that the RSS is not directly involved in the politics of power, but the real strength of the Sangh is in society-building, public education, public service and cultural programs. Therefore, there is nothing new to the Sangh chief that the aim of the Hindu nation is not to get a majority in Parliament, but to make the society in which morality, harmony and cultural unity are established. But his timing of this is very important. Perhaps it may be that the Sangh chief is drawing a boundary line for the BJP or giving a comprehensive message to the minorities.
This is because the direct connection of the Hindu nation in India is often taken in insecurity among Muslims and other minorities. Whereas the opposition considers it a majority agenda. At the same time, since the policies of appeasement of the Congress-Samajwadis, Hindus have suffered a lot of damage, which strengthened the ideology of the Sangh-BJP. However, Congress leaders have been abusive for RSS than BJP. At the same time, for the Kuchakri policies of the Nehru-Gandhi family from the face of the RSS. Perhaps this is the reason that when Bhagwat says that the Hindu nation has no relation with power, the message goes that the purpose of the Sangh is not to impose dominance over anyone, but this concept is a cultural identity that takes everyone along.
The necessary fact that understands here is that why is the Sangh repeating this thing again and again? Does it want to woo the minorities for the permanent regime of the BJP? Or is it not a sign for the BJP for the next assembly elections, because the Bharatiya Janata Party is continuously attacking minorities this year in Bihar and next year for Demogrefi change and voter list revision in West Bengal assembly elections. In such a situation, the Sangh may want the BJP that the BJP should bring some softness in its stand!
At the same time, Bhagwat’s statement indirectly reminds the BJP that the sight of the Sangh is ahead of power. The BJP can use the Hindu nation as a political slogan to gain power. But this statement of Bhagwat can not only be ideological but also with ground politics. Because repeated questions are arising that issues like unemployment, farmer crisis in the country have become secondary due to Hindu-Muslim politics. Therefore, the Sangh probably wants to convey the message that the meaning of Hindu nation does not mean to turn to face these problems but give them a society-based solution.
