Mumbai (Maharashtra): Britishers made Hindus and Muslims fight by creating misconceptions among them, said Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a symposium on the topic of \u2018Rashtra Pratham \u2013 Rashtra Sarvopari\u2019 in Mumbai, the RSS Chief said that Britishers told Muslims that they won\u2019t get anything if they decided to live with Hindus.<\/p>\n
\u201cBritishers told Muslims that only Hindus will be elected and exhorted them to demand a separate (nation). They said Islam will disappear from India. Did it happen? No. Muslims can hold all posts,\u201d said Bhagwat.<\/p>\n
Further, the RSS chief said Britishers told Hindus that Muslims are extremists. \u201cThey made both the communities fight. As a result of that fight and trust deficit, both have been talking about keeping a distance from each other. We need to change our vision,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
The Sarsanghchalak Bhagwat further said both communities have to walk together to take the country forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe basis of our unity is our motherland and glorious tradition. The ancestors of Hindus and Muslims living in India were the same,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Defining the term \u201cHindu\u201d, Bhagwat said, \u201cFrom my point of view, the word Hindu is a symbol of motherland, ancestor and heritage of Indian culture. \u2018Hindu\u2019 is not a caste or linguistic noun, but it is the name of a tradition guiding the development, upliftment of every person of nature. Whatever it believes, irrespective of its language, creed, religion, it is Hindu and in this context, we consider every Indian citizen as Hindu.\u201d<\/p>\n
Addressing the Muslim scholars in intellectuals during the symposium, the RSS chief said, \u201cThere will be no disrespect for other\u2019s opinion here, but we have to think of India\u2019s supremacy, not Muslim supremacy. To take the country forward, everyone will have to walk together.\u201d<\/p>\n
He further said that Islam came to India with the invaders. \u201cThis is history and it is necessary to tell it as such. The sensible leadership of Muslim society should oppose the tyrant things,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Sarsanghchalak asked the \u2018sensible leadership of Muslim society\u2019 to oppose the orthodox community boldly. \u201cThis work has to be done with long effort and determination. The test of all of us will be long and hard. The sooner we start, the less harm will be done to our society,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said that if India becomes a superpower, it will not be there to scare anyone. \u201cIf India will become a superpower, it will be in the form of Vishwaguru. For centuries, we have been striving for the upliftment of all living and non-living. For this reason, no one should be afraid of India becoming a superpower,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
