INDORE: Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday reasserted that ‘Hindustan’ is a country of Hindus.
“Whose country is Germany?…It’s a country of Germans, Britain is a country of Britishers, America is a country of Americans, and in the same way, Hindustan is a country of Hindus. It does not mean that Hindustan is not the country of other people,” Bhagwat said while addressing a gathering of college-going RSS volunteers.
Clarifying his statement, he added that the term Hindu covers all those who are the “sons of Bharat Mata, descendants of Indian ancestors and who live in accordance with the Indian culture.”
Encouraging people to work towards bringing change in the society, he said the government alone cannot bring development without the help of the society. “No one leader or party can make the country great but it needs a change and we will have to prepare the society for it,” he said.
