Muslims are Hindus by nationality, says RSS chief

February 9, 2017

Betul (MP), Feb 9: Asserting that all the people who live in Hindustan and who have respect for its traditions are Hindus, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Wednesday said that although Muslims have a different way of performing prayers, they are Hindus by nationality.

“Whoever lives in Hindustan and has respect for its traditions, are all Hindus. Muslims may have different ways of performing prayers, but their nationality is Hindu. All Hindus are accountable for Hindustan,” Mr. Bhagwat told aHindu Sammelan' here.

“Across the world Indian society is known as Hindu. All Bharatiya [Indians] are Hindus and we all are one entity,” he said.

Hindus should remain alert for the honour of the country, he said. “Across the globe it has been said that Bharat will become the world guru. In such a situation we are accountable for the country.

It is necessary for Hindus to remain united and bury their differences.

“Our caste, sub-caste, rituals and language may be different, but the language of our hearts is one. Diversity in life is beautiful, but it should also have unity,” he said.

Urging people to take a pledge to remain united, the RSS chief also asked them to conserve nature and perform such acts that would enhance the pride of the nation.

Stressing on social harmony, he said that if the differences among Hindus persist, then society would suffer, instead of becoming strong.

“The outside world is uniting, but it is not happening here in the country,” he remarked.

Earlier, he visited Betul district jail and paid tributes to second Sarsanghchalak of RSS late Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar.

Your topic is outdated... people know your evil intention to make peaceful hindus and muslims fight each other..
It would be better for you to look Who is our CREATOR and how he wants our life to be lived rather than only creating evils in the society...

So Modi slogan India First will change to Hindu First. Eventually it will turn to sangha first. Looks like he is on drug. RSS has accumulated and looted large sum of Indian money since Modi came to power. CBI has to investigate every RSS member account.

I am working is Gulf.... and every Indian here is called HINDI irrespective of which religion he belongs to... So what's a big deal...

By the way Hindu/Hindus is not the real name of the religion. It is called Sanathana Dharm... Unfortunately loads don't know this fact.

Hindu/Hindus is the name given by foreign invaders who came to India in the past.

Correct me if I am wrong

Its Great to hear from him Mr. Bhagavat about Hinduism why he reminded only about Muslims( may be upcoming UP Election) why not Dalit and Cristians why he spared them from Hinduism by the way if you study the deep root of Hinduism you will never find its a religion its a practice of all culture and morals of the land called Hindustan those who were living in the bank of Sindh and mohanjedaro in the earlier centuries used to calls Hindus people. Now RSS want to re write the history of Mughal kings are may be called Hindu emperors the easy example like Akbar the great.

In the first place this person and his RSS supported British rule in India then what the hell is he knows about Hindu culture.....afterwards his party man killed Mahathma Gandhi....terrible people......but he does not have any right to teach Muslims what to do and what not to do.....Muslims know how to respect one another's religion and tradition....He should mind his own business....

Mohan Bhagwat should be an Indian and respect all Indians first. He should denounce statements from various sanghis on patriotism of non-Hindus. Mohan Bhagwat should respect Indian constitution and urge all the hate mongers to respect it.

People live in France are called French
People live in Briton are called British
People live in Indonesia are called Indonesians.

This Sanghi have no idea at all what we call ourself?

Those live in India are called as Indians
Those live in Bharath are called as Bharatiya
Those live in Hindustan are called as Hindustani

Not all Hindus. But, we have a majority population who are Hindus.

Peace

Mangaluru: In a decisive move to tackle the city’s deteriorating sanitation infrastructure, the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has announced a massive ₹1,200 crore action plan to overhaul its underground drainage (UGD) network.

The initiative, spearheaded by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV, aims to bridge "missing links" in the current system that have left residents grappling with overflowing sewage and environmental hazards.

The Breaking Point

The announcement follows a high-intensity phone-in session on Thursday, where the DC was flooded with grievances from frustrated citizens. Residents, including Savithri from Yekkur, described a harrowing reality: raw sewage from apartments leaking into stormwater drains, creating a "permanent stink" and turning residential zones into mosquito breeding grounds.

"We are facing immense difficulties due to the stench and the health risks. Local officials have remained silent until now," one resident reported during the session.

The Strategy: A Six-Year Vision

DC Darshan HV confirmed that the proposed plan is not a temporary patch but a comprehensive six-year roadmap designed to accommodate Mangaluru’s projected population growth. Key highlights of the plan include:

•    Infrastructure Expansion: Laying additional pipelines to connect older neighborhoods to the main grid.

•    STP Crackdown: Stricter enforcement of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) regulations. While new apartments are required to have functional STPs, many older buildings lack them entirely, and several newer units are reportedly non-functional.

•    Budgetary Push: The plan has already been discussed with the district in-charge minister and the Secretary of the Urban Development Department. It is slated for formal presentation in the upcoming state budget.

Mangaluru, Dec 20: City Police Commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy has issued a high-alert warning to vehicle owners regarding a surge in cyber fraud targeting those looking to pay traffic violation fines. Fraudsters are reportedly exploiting recent government discount schemes on traffic penalties to deceive citizens.

The Scam: How Fraudsters Strike

Criminals are using SMS, WhatsApp, and social media to circulate suspicious links and APK files (Android application packages). They claim these apps allow users to pay e-challans at a discount.

•    Device Hacking: Downloading these unauthorized apps gives hackers full access to the victim's smartphone.

•    Financial Theft: Once the phone is compromised, fraudsters intercept OTPs and personal data to drain bank accounts.

•    Phishing Sites: Fake websites mimicking official portals are also being used to harvest banking credentials.

Already, two residents within Mangaluru city limits have reported significant financial losses after falling victim to these fraudulent apps.
