He is the man leading from the front and speaks straight on diverse issues of the nation. He brings in perception in change as required and doesn’t believe in beating around the bush. Being the man of action, he prefers ground work emanating results instead of bragging high.
Wanna know who this man is?
Yes, we are talking of sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat who turned 70th today.
He is the man with a vision and mission who has brought in a paradigm shift in thoughts and actions in RSS in last few years.
After infusing in young blood, RSS adopted a paradigm change in its approach and went soft on a controversial issues to gel with the public sentiments.
Changing the so-called rigid image of RSS, Bhagwat, in one of the events, said, “It is not possible to shut ourselves in rigid thinking. Hence ‘Sangh’s thoughts’ are not an ideology. Balasahab (RSS Madhukar Dattatraya Deoras’ third chief) said that India is a Hindu nation. Apart from that everything can change in the sangh.”
Going in accordance to what he said, a paradigm change can be seen in RSS’ approach under his vision.
RSS, known as the world’s largest voluntary organisation in the world, recently softened its stand on the issue of gay marriage.
Without naming LGBT community, he said, “They are all human beings and there is a space for them in society. You will find such people in history…in Mahabharata… If we look at this sensibly along with compassion, a solution can be found easily to this. In our tradition, there is no need for dispute for everything. We have both for and against, out of which we find a consensus,” he said.
Soon after the Article 370 was scrapped in Kashmir, Bhagwat addressed the foreign media and said, “The move to effectively scrap Article 370 will help integrate Kashmir with the rest of the country and Kashmiris do not need to worry about losing their jobs or land.”
He addressed 80 foreign journalists from 50 organisations spread across the world.
Speaking on the occasion, Bhagwat made it loud and clear that the abrogation of the constitutional provision according special status to Jammu and Kashmir had removed all barriers which prevented Kashmir’s integration.
He reportedly also explained the Sangh’s version of Hindutva and said that every Indian is a Hindu for the RSS.
A man with a different approach! Isn’t it and that’s what we call a change maker!
