India must be strong for global peace, says RSS chief Bhagwat

Jaipur: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat, speaking at a memorial event in Jaipur on Saturday, emphasised that global harmony and peace can only be achieved through strength. Referring to India's recent action against Pakistan, Bhagwat remarked that while India harbours no animosity toward anyone, the language of peace and goodwill is only heard when spoken from a position of strength. "This is the nature of the world and it cannot be changed. Therefore, to ensure global welfare, we must be powerful," he stated.Emphasising that the world has already witnessed India's strength, Bhagwat said promoting global welfare is a sacred duty, especially for followers of Hindu Dharma—rooted in the ancient sage traditions that continue to be carried forward by the saintly community.Bhagwat was addressing a large gathering at the death anniversary event of Saint Ravi Ram Maharaj at Ravinath Ashram in Harmada, Jaipur. During his speech, he said that India, the world's most ancient nation, holds the position of an elder brother in the global family and is working continuously toward peace and harmony. "Global welfare is our Dharma, especially for Hindus. It is our sacred duty. This is the legacy of our Rishi tradition, upheld even today by the saintly community," Bhagwat said.
