No need to change religion to be a Hindu : RSS Chief
Shillong (Meghalaya) – Residents of people in the south of the Himalayas, on the north of the Indian Ocean, and those living along the banks of River Sindhu / Indus are traditionally known as Hindus. Hindus existed even before the Mughals and Christians. In fact, Hindu Dharma is not a religion, but it is a way of living. There is no need to change religion to be a Hindu, stated Dr Mohan Bhagwat, the ‘Sarsanghachalak’ of ‘Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)’ in a rally addressed by him.

1. India’s all-round progress and unification of people is the goal of RSS.
2. RSS teaches sacrificing for the nation by sacrificing personal interests.
