On Friday, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat stressed on the tenacity and endurance of the Bharat as a civilisation, which in being what it is, that has made it last thousands of years with its cultural base and structure of society. During the second day of his three-day visit to Manipur, Bhagwat stated that the Indian society is the one that is united by the strong network, which, as he says, guarantees that the Hindu community will not be destroyed despite the outside factors.
Mohan Bhagwat commented that there have been civilisations in the world, which have come and gone yet India has still stood firm amidst all the many crises. He further said that the world would not exist without Hindus, which implies the centrality of Hindu civilisation in supporting global culture equilibrium. He compared it to the ancient civilisation like Greece (Yunaan), Egypt (Misr), and Rome (Roma) which had all come to extinction and India remained strong.
He has expounded the concept that the fundamental knowledge disseminated over time across the regions was that the whole India was to be ours, indicating that the political demands in the present times have created a divergence in opinion which was not to be the case in the past. Bhagwat repeated that Bharatvarsh has always been known as civilisational and not a political nation-state.
Quoting ancient literature, Bhagwat told that Bharatvarsh is widely referred to in the Ramayana, Mahabharata and the writings of a poet Kalidasa. He called India a landmass extending between Manipur to Afghanistan, in terms of an ancient cultural and geographical definition of the subcontinent.
He also brought out that India has experienced different ways of governance through centuries, and sometimes disunited in the hands of multiple rulers, and other times united with a strong sovereign. But through all these changes, he said, Bharat had not changed.
