RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, in London, said Hindu civilisational identity is rooted in the coexistence of diversity and unity. He said differences should be seen as varied expressions of an underlying oneness and urged people to move away from viewing others as enemies to address conflicts effectively. Bhagwat described ‘Hindu’ as a cultural and civilisational identity, rather than merely a religion or geographical category. He rejected the idea that unity requires uniformity, saying Hindu thought accommodates different traditions and paths and does not seek to convert others. His remarks came during the RSS centenary year, as he visits London until September 7 for overseas programmes marking the organisation’s 100 years.
