Bhagwat: India a Hindu nation, must unite beyond castes and languages

His remarks came at 'Swayamsevak Ekatrikaran' event in Baran, Rajasthan on Saturday. He also urged Hindus to unite beyond caste, creed, and language, emphasizing that the Hindu community bears the primary responsibility for advancing the nation.

"Bharat is a Hindu-Rashtra. We have been living here since ancient times, although the word 'Hindu' came later," Bhagwat said, adding Hindus should unite for the nation and for their own safety.

"We are the sons and daughters of Mother India; we will live and die for her," he said, calling for greater Hindu solidarity. He described the Hindu society as integral to nationbuilding, advocating discipline, duty to the state, and dedication to common goals.
