Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday underscored India’s pivotal role in addressing global instability, saying that “India can bring an end to the ongoing war”, during the groundbreaking ceremony for the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) Vidarbha Prant office in Nagpur.
Speaking on the escalating global conflicts, Bhagwat asserted that the world is increasingly looking towards India to restore balance through the foundation of Dharma. Bhagwat noted that voices from various countries are increasingly looking towards India to mediate and end the ongoing war. He mentioned it is now widely recognised that “only India” has the capability to bring peace to the Middle East due to its inherent nature.
He stated that it is India’s responsibility to restore balance to a “stumbling world” by providing a foundation of dharma. In a pointed critique of the current geopolitical climate, the RSS chief contrasted India’s historical values, especially “law of humanity” with the “law of the jungle” of the survival of the fittest, which is currently dominating global affairs. He used a traditional parable of a wolf and a lamb to illustrate how power is often used to justify aggression.
Bhagwat noted that without a strong moral force, truth and innocence are frequently suppressed by those with superior physical or military strength. Addressing the ongoing wars in the Middle East and Europe, the RSS chief highlighted a growing international expectation for Indian intervention. He remarked that for 2,000 years, various ideologies have failed to bring lasting peace because they lacked a sense of interconnectedness and the foundation of unity.
