In the next ten to twelve years, caste discrimination in India can be eradicated, expressed the belief of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's chief Dr. Mohan Bhagwat. He clarified that if caste discrimination is to be ended, society needs to develop the habit of not seeing caste. He also mentioned that if all sections of society sincerely accept this, the issue of caste discrimination can be permanently resolved.
Dr. Bhagwat said that earlier castes were formed based on the nature of work and profession, but over time, discrimination increased. Today's caste discrimination is a problem created more out of ego than social necessity. Therefore, caste discrimination will not end merely through laws or declarations, but only by changing the mindset, he firmly stated.
Speaking about the role of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the Sarsanghchalak said that the Sangh has no competition with anyone. The Sangh is not against any person, organization, or ideology. The Sangh's effort is to make the country prosperous by taking all sections of society together. He stated that the main objective of the Sangh is to create unity in society, increase fraternity, and foster a sense of mutual respect.
Dr. Bhagwat also expressed an important opinion about the increasing use of technology. He advised that technology should be used appropriately, but one should not become a slave to it. He clarified that technology is meant to simplify human life, not to destroy human values.
They stated that in today's changing social circumstances, there is a need to give more importance to human values, mutual communication, and social responsibility. They also noted that true social transformation can occur only if the mentality of looking at each other as humans beyond caste, class, or sect is developed. Dr. Mohan Bhagwat's statement has once again sparked a wide-ranging discussion on issues of caste discrimination, social equality, and national unity.
