Bhagwat bats for ‘Akhand Bharat’, says it is necessary for global welfare

Hyderabad, Feb 26: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sarsanghchalak Dr. Mohanrao Bhagwat once again reiterated the stand of RSS in support of ‘Akhand Bharat’ (Undivided India). He said that the countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan and other parts that got separated from Bharat are in distress and facing unrest and instability.

He underlined the need for ‘Akhand Bharat; for the welfare of the universe. “That is why there is a need to awaken patriotism… as truncated Bharat has a need to be united once again. All the divided parts of Bharat which no longer call them Bharat, they need more”, the RSS Sarsanghchalak said.

Speaking at book release function here Bhagwat said that the dream of ‘Akhnad Bharat’ could be possible not by using force, but awakening the Hindu Dharma.

Emphasizing that the concept of ‘Akhand Bharat’ is possible, Bhagwat recalled how people had expressed serious doubts before the partition and even leaders like Nehru pooh-poohed the idea of vivisection of the motherland. But it did happen, he said.

“If you ask six months before the partition of this country, nobody would have guessed. People asked Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru that there was a new topic coming up about the formation of Pakistan.”

“What is it? (Replying to that) he said that it (the partition) was a dream of fools,” the RSS chief said.

According to him, Lord Wavell (during British rule) also said in the British Parliament that God has made India one and who is going to divide it.

“But ultimately it (partition) happened. What seemed to be impossible happened, so it cannot be ruled out that “Akhand Bharat” which may seem to be impossible today, will not happen…because, there is a need for ‘Akhand Bharat’,” Bhagwat said.

The RSS Chief further said separated regions of India which don’t call themselves as Bharat any longer, for them it is much more a necessity of reuniting with “Bharat”.

According to him, there is unhappiness in the regions of “Akhand Bharat” which now do not call them as Bharat.

“There is unhappiness. They did all they could, but did not find any remedy. And remedy is only one which is reunification (with Bharat) and all their problems will get resolved.”

“We talk of uniting them, not to suppress them. When we talk of “Akhand Bharat” our intention is not with power (to achieve it) but to unite through dharma which is ‘Sanatan’ (eternal) which is humanity’s dharma and of the entire world and today it is called as Hindu dharma,” the RSS chief said.

“Gandhar became Afghanistan. Is there peace and tranquility in Afghanistan since then? Pakistan was formed. From that date till now is there peace and tranquility?” he asked.

He said India has the endurance to overcome several challenges and the world looks towards it to overcome difficulties.

With “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” (world is one family) belief, India can again offer happiness and peace to the world, he added.
