00:00In Kashi Nagar, the International Airport has been given and it is very close to Gorakhpur.
00:05We have seen how easy it is to reach the International Airport.
00:09All those people who believe in Buddhism or those who have faith in it, they reach there for darshan.
00:14Along with this, with a cost of 22,000 crores, a 600-kilometer Buddhist circuit is also being built.
00:21So, Buddhist circuits are being developed in both Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.
00:26So that, from Banaras to Bodhgaya, there will be facilities for people to come and go.
00:31And the foreigners who come, or the people of Buddhism who come,
00:36there will be facilities for them as well.
00:39This change…
00:41A picture of the message written by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the RSS Smriti Mandir has come.
00:49Can we run it in full frame so that I can read it once and give the information to my viewers?
00:54Prime Minister Narendra Modi writes,
00:56I come to this Smriti Mandir to pay my respects to the most revered Dr. Hedgewar and the revered Guruji.
01:07And further he writes,
01:09This real service to the nation, dedicated to the values of cultural nationalism and collective power,
01:17inspires all of us to move forward.
01:19These two strong pillars of the Sangh,
01:23this real service to the nation, dedicated to lakhs of self-employed people,
01:27inspires all of us to move forward.
01:28In our efforts, the pride of Mahabharata will always move forward.
01:33How beautiful is the handwriting.
01:34We have seen it usually.
01:36There is very little such writing.
01:38In beautiful handwriting, you can see,
01:40Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed his feelings.
01:43Both of them are dedicated to all the Sangh chalukas.
01:47Both of them are dedicated to all the Sangh chalukas.
01:49That is why we have mentioned that they are the biggest Sangh chalukas in the Sangh.
01:53These two people are seen as the most revered.
01:57Guruji and Hedgewar.
01:59Rakesh Sinha has to go somewhere.
02:01Let me take his comments.
02:02The message given by the Prime Minister from the Smriti Mandir,
02:05we have told our viewers.
02:07I would like you to shed some light on this.
02:09What is special about the Smriti Mandir?
02:12And as Vijayji just mentioned,
02:14there are many things about Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar,
02:16which the RSS has not accepted.
02:18But now he is completing his centenary.
02:20And he is bringing many changes within himself.
02:23Rakesh Sinha has written a book on Dr. Hedgewar.
02:26He has also done research.
02:27Absolutely.
02:28Look, Dr. Hedgewar and Dr. Ambedkar had a great similarity.
02:34Both were doctors of social change.
02:36They were not doctors of humans.
02:38They were doctors of social change.
02:40In 1938, they had a long meeting.
02:42Balasaheb Salonke, who was the treasurer of the Republican Party.
02:46He was such an MP, Chitraji,
02:48after his death, his wife had to run the family on the streets of Pune.
02:54He wrote in his biography,
02:56that Dr. Hedgewar and Dr. Ambedkar had a complete dialogue.
03:01So there was no opposition between Dr. Hedgewar and Dr. Ambedkar.
03:05Both had different paths.
03:06But there was a consensus on national development.
03:09One thing you said, that Modi ji wrote in good handwriting.
03:12With good handwriting, he also wrote good thoughts.
03:15The thoughts that need to be understood.
03:17Look, reading and writing on RSS was also prohibited.
03:20Let me tell you one thing.
03:21In 1951, about 26 years after the establishment of the Sangh,
03:25a book was written on the Sangh by J. Kuren, an American scholar.
03:29That book was a good book.
03:31Even after writing the book, there was an attack that the Sangh is related to the CIA.
03:35The second biggest writing came in 1972.
03:38In 1970, Andersen, who later wrote the book,
03:41Separate Brotherhood,
03:42he wrote 6 series on RSS in Economic and Political Weekly.
03:46Both these studies were systematic studies.
03:49So I feel that the way the Sangh was isolated,
03:52deprived and neglected by the Indian state,
03:55Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji,
03:57on the injury of Duncan,
03:58tried to tell,
03:59that the thing about which Dr. Hedgewar established the Sangh,
04:03from 1940 to 1973,
04:06Dr. Hedgewar was the head of the Sangh.
04:08Dr. Hedgewar stayed for 25 years,
04:09Dr. Hedgewar stayed for 40 years.
04:10Thirdly, let me tell you,
04:12the Sangh is such an organization,
04:13which was named after 6 months after the establishment.
04:16The Sangh was formed after many years after the establishment of the office.
04:20The Sangh is such an organization,
04:22which was named after 4 years after the establishment of the Sangh.
04:29So, the Sangh first made the office,
04:31other organizations first make the office,
04:33write the objectives,
04:34and promote,
04:36then the Sangh started its work.
04:38The Sangh is working through Action First,
04:41which is the slogan of the Sangh.
04:44One last thing,
04:45Dr. Hedgewar was born in 1889.
04:49In that, the energy and feeling of patriotism,
04:52kept evolving.
04:54That's why he was a part of the committee,
04:56a part of the Congress,
04:58a part of the Hindu Mahasabha.
05:00When we talk about the establishment of the Sangh and the Hindu Rashtra,
05:03Hindu Rashtra is an adjective, not an objective.
05:06There is a difference between an adjective and an objective.
05:09We are not a theocratic state.
05:10We don't want to make a religious state.
05:12We don't want to make a communal state like Islamic states.
05:15Let me give you an example of that.
05:17Dr. Hedgewar was called for the inauguration of a colony.
05:20He asked, what is the name of the colony?
05:22He said, Hindu colony.
05:23He said, Hindu colony cannot exist in a Hindu country.
05:25Here, it can be a Parsi colony or a Christian colony.
05:28Hindu Rashtra, because of its historicality,
05:30because of its number,
05:32because of its quality,
05:33and most importantly,
05:35because of the utilitarianism of the Hindu society.
05:37This utilitarianism,
05:39gave birth to many sects, many religions, many religions,
05:42and will continue to do so.
05:44He wants to keep this diversity as a Sangh,
05:47which not only the opposition,
05:49but also the scholars of India,
05:51social scholars, need to understand.
05:53The thing that the Koreans have understood,
05:55the thing that the Indians are understanding,
05:57the scholars of India are not ready to understand that.
05:59We need to move forward.
06:01If we change the old batteries,
06:03the Nehruvadi state is over.
06:06The Nehruvadi era is over.
06:08This is the Modi era.
06:09In this Modi era,
06:10the Sangh's thoughts and behavior
06:12have a similarity to the state.
06:14We need to move forward with culture and order,
06:16that is, Ram and Roti.
06:18No state can move forward with just Roti.
06:20The Roman Empire had collapsed.
06:22This is a symbol of Ram, that is, culture.
06:24A state gains its diversity
06:26when it keeps its heritage and heritage progressive.
06:30We are not cowards.
06:31That is why Mohan Bhagwatji said,
06:33don't look for a Sri Lankan in every mosque.
06:35We know that thousands of mosques have been demolished.
06:37But the historical places,
06:39which support our traditions, our future,
06:41we will get them.
06:43We will move forward with harmony.
06:45That is why this is a message for Muslims,
06:47Christians, and other religious people
06:49that the Sangh wants to maintain
06:51that diversity and that unity.
06:53This is the message of Modi's journey today.
06:55And Ambedkarji,
06:57who wanted social change,
06:59he is a part of the neglected society.
07:01That is why the Sangh is working
07:03through the social empowerment platform
07:05and through various platforms.
07:07And I will tell you a slogan
07:09of the Indian Laborers' Sangh,
07:11which was mentioned by Modi.
07:13Liberating the industry.
07:15This is a big thing.
07:17The Sangh should be a partner
07:19of the workers in the industry.
07:21The Sangh should not only support the workers,
07:23but also the students.
07:25There are 1,74,000 service projects
07:27going on in the Sangh.
07:291,74,000 projects are going on
07:31only through Seva Bharti.
07:33Banwasi Kalyan Ashram is separate,
07:35Vidyarthi Prasad is separate,
07:37and other organizations are separate.
07:39Let me tell you one more thing.
07:41The branches that are running,
07:43are not just for drilling.
07:45It is the responsibility of every organization
07:47and branch of the Sangh
07:49to be associated with a project
07:51of social service.
07:53We are not just an organization
07:55that talks.
07:57Organizations that talk
07:59have ended the Bolshevik revolution.
08:01Russia has fallen.
08:03We are seeing the decline of America.
08:05But the National Laborers' Sangh
08:07has been increasing continuously
08:09in the last 100 years.
08:11And I feel that this is not the
08:13end of the world.
08:15The Sangh still has a long way to go
08:17because the problems of India
08:19such as casteism, inequality,
08:21communalism, and inequality
08:23are being faced by the Sangh.
08:25That is why new branches
08:27and organizations are being formed.
08:29And I feel that the time to come
08:31is not a time for small challenges.
08:33Because we have been working
08:35at an equal time so far.
08:37The governments and the state
08:39used to oppose us.
08:41But now we are in a situation
08:43where people are expecting more
08:45from us.
08:47Dattatreya Hoshwale wrote
08:49in his book RSS 800
08:51that the Sangh has to
08:53address the issues
08:55that have not been addressed yet.
08:57And you can see
08:59when the Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram
09:01started and who started it.
09:03Thousands of people are working.
09:05When we debate on TV,
09:07the promoters and volunteers
09:09say that we work
09:11with different names.
09:13We have the same aim,
09:15different name, different stage,
09:17different method.
09:19But our aim is unity of objective.
09:21And this unity of objective
09:23has kept the RSS Sangh
09:25united for 100 years.
