Mohan Bhagwat, the Sarsanghchalak (chief) of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), remains a figure of significant influence but is known for his rare and carefully measured public interviews. His recent in-depth interview, published by several RSS-aligned publications, provides an important insight into the organization’s current philosophy and future roadmap, especially as it approaches its centenary year.

Apolitical Nature of the RSS

A major emphasis of Bhagwat’s interview is the RSS’s continued commitment to remain apolitical. Despite often being associated with various political narratives in the media and by opposition parties, Bhagwat firmly clarifies that the RSS itself is not involved in electoral politics or aligned with any political party. Instead, the organization focuses on social harmony (Samajik Samarasta) and inclusivity, aiming to unite all sections of society irrespective of caste, class, or region.

Bhagwat stresses that the Sangh’s work is rooted in practice rather than preaching. He highlights that inclusivity is seen not just as a concept but as a lived reality within RSS cadres, who are encouraged to build friendships and connections across all communities. Temples, cremation grounds, and water bodies in areas influenced by the RSS are intended to be inclusive spaces, reinforcing the organization’s focus on communal unity and cultural harmony.

Undiluted Core Ideology: Hindu Rashtra

While the RSS has expanded and adapted over its 100 years, Bhagwat asserts that its core ideological tenet remains firm and undiluted. He references the third Sarsanghchalak, Balasaheb Deoras, stating clearly: “Hindustan is a Hindu Rashtra.” This vision holds that the culture, sanskriti, and very nature of India is intrinsically Hindu, and the entire Hindu society acts as the custodian of the nation.

The oath taken by RSS volunteers reflects this core focus — pledging work for the all-around development of the Hindu Rashtra, while protecting Hindu Dharma, culture, and society. Bhagwat implies that this foundational belief guides all activities and decisions within the Sangh, with other matters being transient in comparison.

Long-Term Planning and Future Vision

One hallmark of the RSS is its long-term strategic planning, typically spanning 25 years or more. This vision has contributed to the Sangh’s resilience, consistency, and expansion over the decades.

As the RSS approaches its 100th anniversary, the focus remains on uniting the entire Hindu society and elevating Bharat (India) to new heights of glory. Bhagwat references the founder, Dr. Hedgewar, who had envisioned an independent Bharat that would inspire other nations to free themselves from capitalist bondage, reflecting a blend of nationalism and global outreach.

Looking further ahead, Bhagwat envisions a global transformation inspired by the RSS model—suggesting that by around 2047, the concept of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh will inspire similar movements worldwide, with global Dharmik (spiritual and moral) revolutions occurring within a few decades thereafter.

He stresses that the world, having experienced agricultural, industrial, and scientific revolutions, now awaits a Dharmik revolution—not in terms of religion but as a reorganisation of human life around truth, purity, compassion, and austerity. This vision presents India and Hindu society as a beacon for the new global order.

Conclusion

Mohan Bhagwat’s interview offers a profound look into the RSS’s apolitical stance, unwavering core ideology of Hindu Rashtra, and a visionary plan for India and the world in the coming decades. With the centenary year marking a milestone, the RSS positions itself as a custodian of Hindu culture and a catalyst for societal transformation rooted in inclusive social harmony. The organization's long-range vision reflects its commitment not only to India’s progress but also to influencing a broader global moral renaissance.
