Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat emphasised that India has been a secular nation for 5,000 years and called on people to stay united, setting a positive example for the world.
During the launch of the book Prithvi Sookta - An Ode To Mother Earth by Ranga Hari, he urged people to have devotion, love, and dedication towards their motherland.
According to NDTV, he highlighted that India's 5,000-year-old culture is inherently secular, and the belief in the world as one family should guide our actions.
Bhagwat stressed the importance of unity in India's diversity and encouraged people to promote unity rather than conflict.
He also acknowledged the role of seers in shaping India for the betterment of the world, emphasising their contribution to spreading knowledge across all strata of society.
Bhagwat recognised the nomadic communities, known as 'ghumantoos,' who have overcome past stigmatisation to contribute to society, sharing their culture and knowledge of ayurveda.
Finally, Bhagwat commended India's transformation of the G20 into a platform that prioritises the well-being of all humans by embracing the concept of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam', a testament to India's commitment to unity.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
