‘Unity in diversity in Bharat’s DNA: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat NEW DELHI: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat, addressing around 5,000 members of Indian-American organisations at Madison Square Garden in New York, spoke about unity, pluralism, individual responsibility and the obligations of the Indian diaspora, while arguing that material success alone cannot define a fulfilling life.Bhagwat was speaking at the “Universal Oneness Celebration”, organised by American Hindus for Engagement and Dialogue. He framed his address around the idea of “oneness”, drawing parallels between the pluralism associated with the United States and what he described as Bharat’s “unity in diversity”.“When we say America, United States of America, one word is often discussed frequently. That is pluralism,” Bhagwat said. “And when we say Bharat, another word, another phrase is discussed: unity in diversity.”“For Bharat, this unity and diversity, both are in their DNA,” he said.Bhagwat said differences between people were a natural feature of life, but argued that these differences existed alongside an underlying sense of oneness.“So many styles of living. We appear different. We are different,” he said, pointing to differences in people’s everyday needs and circumstances.“But there is innate oneness. That is why we feel for each other,” he added.He described diversity as the “decoration of oneness”, presenting unity not as the absence of differences but as something that exists beneath them.Bhagwat also linked this idea to what he described as the responsibilities of individuals, societies and nations. Nations, he said, should not be seen merely as geographical entities but as having a larger purpose.“These nations are not merely geographical entities. In the design of this universe, nations have to carry out a duty,” he said, quoting Swami Vivekananda’s formulation that every nation has a message, a mission and a destiny.‘Be true to America’: RSS chief message to diasporaTurning to the Indian diaspora in the United States, Bhagwat said Indians living abroad had a primary responsibility towards the country where they lived and worked.“So we are Americans, and we should be true to America,” he said.He described this as a duty towards one’s “karma bhumi” — the land where a person lives and works.“The diaspora, Indian diaspora, they have a duty to their karma bhumi. They must fulfill that. They should be loyal to their karma bhumi,” Bhagwat said.At the same time, he said Indians abroad could maintain a connection with Bharat as their “janma bhumi”, or birthplace, and could contribute to the country if they wished to do so after fulfilling their responsibilities to their adopted home.“But it is not obligatory,” he said.Instead, he said, the connection with Bharat should be reflected in the values carried by the diaspora.“Your janma bhumi expects you to live the values it has imparted on you,” Bhagwat said.Bhagwat also questioned the idea that professional success should be measured primarily through earnings and material possessions.“How much we earn is not important. How much we distribute is important,” he said.He asked whether a career could be reduced to money and material happiness, while acknowledging that material aspirations had a legitimate place in Hindu philosophy.“You think of career? Is career only money? Is career only material happiness?” Bhagwat asked.He referred to the four Purusharthas, saying that Artha and Kama represented important material dimensions of life alongside spiritual pursuits.“It is not denied. In four Purusharthas, Artha and Kama are two important Purusharthas related to material life,” he said.Bhagwat also referred to the traditional four stages of life — Brahmacharya, Grihastha, Vanaprastha and Sannyasa — arguing that people acquire different responsibilities as they move through life.“So you have to learn, you have to sustain life, and you have to give the advice, your experience to next generation,” he said.He argued that material abundance by itself could not guarantee fulfilment.“So the material happiness is transient, cannot satisfy,” Bhagwat said. “And if abundance of material happiness is there, it may fail also. And therefore there is no satisfaction.”Highlights responsibility towards othersBhagwat’s broader argument centred on the idea that human intelligence carried with it a responsibility towards others.Using the example of a hungry person watching someone eat, he said people instinctively recognise another person’s suffering and cannot simply ignore it.“A simple experiment you can do, or I can challenge you to do. When you are taking your lunch or dinner, let a hungry man stand before you, and let him stare at your full platter with hungry eyes,” he said.“You can try; you will not do. Because we are human beings.”He contrasted human beings’ ability to think and plan with the instinctive behaviour of animals, but said the ability to think also brought a responsibility to use that capacity correctly.“If you think in the right way, you go nearer to God. If you think in the wrong way, you go nearer to the animal kingdom,” he said.Bhagwat offer interpretation of DharmaBhagwat also offered a broader interpretation of “Dharma”, saying it should not be understood simply as religion or worship.“Dharma is not religion. It is not worship. It is beyond all this,” he said.He described Dharma as a sustaining principle that allows people and society to manage competing aspects of life and maintain balance.“It is the balance which sustains everything at once, simultaneously, and simultaneously everyone can progress,” Bhagwat said.He similarly argued that progress should not require either individuals or society to be suppressed.“Individual, society and environment, they have to proceed together, progress together,” he said, adding that different aspects of an individual’s own life — body, mind and intellect — also had to advance together.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesBhagwat concluded by returning to the idea of responsibility towards both one’s place of work and birthplace.He called on people to fulfil their duties towards their “karma bhumi” as well as their “janma bhumi”, saying such an approach could help a world struggling with multiple challenges.“To that destiny and fulfill our duties in our karma bhumi as well as our janma bhumi,” he said.“If we do that, that will be a boon for the world struggling with all these problems and stumbling at every step.”Get the latest India News and Live updates.

BJP questioned leader of opposition in LS Rahul Gandhi for raising the issue so many days after the alleged purification on Aug 10. NEW DELHI: BJP and Congress clashed Saturday over the opposition party’s allegation that the venue of its rally in Uttarakhand’s Haldwani was “purified” because of the presence of its president Mallikarjun Kharge, with Rahul Gandhi demanding an FIR as he linked it to the unconstitutional practice of untouchability.BJP slammed Rahul’s comments as his usual bid to divide Hindus on different grounds, including caste, and played videos of some of the organisers of the so-called purification exercise to rebut his charge. It also questioned Rahul for raising the issue so many days after the alleged purification on Aug 10.One of the organisers, Ankit Pal, said he was himself a dalit and that a ‘hawan’ was held after the venue was cleaned for Ramlila. The organisers have said they have no link with BJP.At a news conference, Rahul targeted the BJP and RSS over the “purification” and demanded that PM Narendra Modi order an FIR under SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act against all those involved in the matter. “We are demanding justice for the Congress president and it is the duty of central and state govt to ensure that Kharge ji gets justice in Uttarakhand. Every dalit faces humiliation from birth to death, everywhere, at every step,” he alleged.”Now the ball is in BJP’s court – an FIR must be filed under the SC/ST Act at the earliest, action must be taken, and justice must be served – otherwise, Congress knows very well how to secure justice,” Rahul warned.”If they take action, good. If they don’t take it, then there will be some reaction. These days, inaction has a much bigger reaction,” he said. “We will ensure action is taken against the culprits.

He cited a string of cases of violence against dalits, including in Rajasthan, Haryana and Karnataka, when Congress was in office in these states and accused the party of maintaining silence in incidents where aggressors were members of a particular community.

BJP questioned leader of opposition in LS Rahul Gandhi for raising the issue so many days after the alleged purification on Aug 10. NEW DELHI: BJP and Congress clashed Saturday over the opposition party’s allegation that the venue of its rally in Uttarakhand’s Haldwani was “purified” because of the presence of its president Mallikarjun Kharge, with Rahul Gandhi demanding an FIR as he linked it to the unconstitutional practice of untouchability.BJP slammed Rahul’s comments as his usual bid to divide Hindus on different grounds, including caste, and played videos of some of the organisers of the so-called purification exercise to rebut his charge. It also questioned Rahul for raising the issue so many days after the alleged purification on Aug 10.One of the organisers, Ankit Pal, said he was himself a dalit and that a ‘hawan’ was held after the venue was cleaned for Ramlila. The organisers have said they have no link with BJP.At a news conference, Rahul targeted the BJP and RSS over the “purification” and demanded that PM Narendra Modi order an FIR under SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act against all those involved in the matter. “We are demanding justice for the Congress president and it is the duty of central and state govt to ensure that Kharge ji gets justice in Uttarakhand. Every dalit faces humiliation from birth to death, everywhere, at every step,” he alleged.”Now the ball is in BJP’s court – an FIR must be filed under the SC/ST Act at the earliest, action must be taken, and justice must be served – otherwise, Congress knows very well how to secure justice,” Rahul warned.”If they take action, good. If they don’t take it, then there will be some reaction. These days, inaction has a much bigger reaction,” he said. “We will ensure action is taken against the culprits. Even if BJP fails to act, the entire Congress party will not let them escape…I Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesguarantee it,” he added.BJP fielded its dalit spokesperson Guru Prakash Paswan and Sudhanshu Trivedi to counter Rahul. “Rahul always supports forces working to divide society and uses lies to set the narrative,” Paswan said.”The Congress MP jumps from one issue to another but the one theme that runs constantly is his tendency to put Hindus against each other,” Trivedi said. He cited a string of cases of violence against dalits, including in Rajasthan, Haryana and Karnataka, when Congress was in office in these states and accused the party of maintaining silence in incidents where aggressors were members of a particular community.

Erratic distribution leads to 2% dip in acreage of kharif crops NEW DELHI: Better-than-expected rainfall in many parts of the country in August has failed to reduce India’s cumulative monsoon rainfall deficit. While the country’s cumulative rainfall deficit (since June 1) was 13% as of July 31, it touched nearly 14% a month later due to a huge shortfall in Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab and some northeastern states.This deficit led to an acreage gap in the sowing of kharif (summer-sown) crops, with paddy, the major seasonal crop, reporting a decline of more than 3% compared with the corresponding period last year.Maize that contributes the most as feedstock for ethanol production in the country reported an even bigger decline of more than 4% compared with the corresponding period in 2025. This may eventually create pressure for sugarcane to be used as feedstock for ethanol production.The acreage of all kharif crops, taken together, was reportedly down nearly 2% as of Friday compared with the corresponding period last year. The acreage deficit was nearly 3% at the end of July.The acreage could not be increased due to erratic distribution of rainfall in both the key monsoon months of July and Aug.Though many parts of the country defied El Nino-linked predictions and got normal rainfall, 12 states have reported a rain deficit of more than 20% since June 1, with Bihar, Andhra Pradesh and three northeastern states – Meghalaya, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh – reporting a huge deficit of more than 40% in cumulative (June 1-Aug 29) rainfall.El Nino is a climatic condition which sees the warming of surface waters of the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. It is associated with weak monsoons and harsher summers in India.Good rains in eastern India during the remaining two days of the month, as predicted by IMD, may slightly reduce the deficit for the region, but it won’t help much overall, as the Met department Saturday predicted the continuation of “subdued rainfall activity” over peninsular India during the next week.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesPeninsular India has, so far, reported a deficit of more than 23% in cumulative rainfall, leaving Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala largely dry for most of the southwest (summer) monsoon season.
