RSS Mohan Bhagwat Vijayadashami Speech Live Updates: The annual Vijayadashami address by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat carries special weight on Thursday as the organisation, considered as the ruling BJP’s ideological fountainhead, is set to complete 100 years this year. Addressing the headquarters in Nagpur he said, "Recent tariff policy adopted by the United States is affecting everyone and highlighted the need for India to reduce its dependence on the global economic system. Today, America is considered a role model, and people want India to live a life like America." Mohan Bhagwat's recent addresses: In August, Bhagwat restated the Sangh’s stand on caste-based reservation, stressing that the RSS will support it until beneficiaries no longer feel the need for it. He said that the caste divisions have no relevance these days and should be approached with sensitivity. He also urged people not to employ illegal migrants, warning that migration and religious conversion create risks of demographic imbalance. At the same time, he underlined that religion is a personal choice, stating, “Why talk of Hindu-Muslim unity when all are same, we all are Indians.” What other issues has Bhagwat spoken about recently? Bhagwat has called for families to have three children. “This is what doctors have said… Our country’s population recommends a birth rate of 2.1, which is fine as an average, but you can never have 0.1 of a child. In math, 2.1 becomes 2, but when it comes to births, after two, it has to be three,” the RSS chief said. He clarified that the Sangh does not decide BJP’s organisational matters but maintains coordination with both Centre and state governments.
