Imphal, Nov 20: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sarsanghchalak Dr. Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday said that efforts are underway both at community and societal level to restore stability in Manipur.
Bhagwat made this statement during first day of his three-day visit to Manipur.
“Destruction takes minutes, but construction requires years, especially when done inclusively and without harming anyone. Peace-building requires patience, collective effort, and social discipline,” Bhagwat said.
He reflected on the Sangh’s civilisational role, national responsibilities, and the ongoing efforts for a peaceful and resilient Manipur.
Bhagwat commended Manipur’s strong cultural traditions, including the wearing of traditional attire during special occasions and use of native languages, and encouraged strengthening these further.
He stated that the RSS continues to be a subject of daily discussion across the country, often shaped by perceptions and propaganda.
“There is no organisation comparable to the RSS, just as the sea, the sky, and the ocean have no comparison. The growth of RSS is organic and the methodology was resolved after 14 years of its foundation. To understand one has to visit Shakha. The objective of RSS is to organise the whole Hindu society including those who oppose the Sangh, not creating a power centre within the society,” Bhagwat stated.
He highlighted that misinformation campaigns against the RSS began as early as 1932–33, including from sources outside Bharat that lacked an understanding of Bharat and its civilisational ethos.
The Sarsanghchalak stressed the need for understanding of the organisation based on truth rather than perception-driven narratives.
Recalling the life of RSS founder Dr. K.B. Hedgewar, Dr. Bhagwat underlined his academic excellence, born patriotic activities, and involvement in all streams of then freedom struggle
He noted that Dr. Hedgewar’s realisation of the need for a united and qualitatively improved society led to the creation of the RSS. “The Sangh is a man-making methodology,” he said, urging people to understand the organisation through its shakha system on ground.
He noted that the term “Hindu” in this context is a cultural and civilisational descriptor rather than a religious identity. It (Hindu) is not a noun but an adjective. For a strong Rashtra he emphasized the need for “quality and unity”. The progress of a Rashtra not only depends on leaders alone but on a strong and united society.
