Speaking at the inauguration of `Hindu Seva Mahotsav' in Pune, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief on Thursday said India is often advised to address the issues of its minorities, but now we are seeing the situation minority communities face in other countries.
His comments come in the wake of sustained attack on the Hindu minorities in Bangladesh. However, during the recent visit of Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, the Mohammed Yunus-led interim government assured India the government will take all possible steps to prevent such selected targeting.
While the RSS chief made no direct reference to the violence against the Hindu community in Bangladesh, the RSS has, in the recent weeks, expressed concern about the situation of the Hindus in that country after the ouster of the Sheikh Hasina government.
"Big announcements are being made about world peace. We (India ) are also being advised about world peace, but at the same time, wars are not stopping. While we are often told to worry about the minorities in our country, we are witnessing what kind of situation minorities are facing outside," he said.
"Manav dharma (humanity) is the eternal dhamra of all the dharmas, which is a Vishwa dharma and also called as Hindu Dharma. However, the world has forgotten this dharma. They have the same dharma but they forgot, and because of that, today we are witnessing different kinds of problems such as environmental and other issues," said Bhagwat.
A lot of people outside our country think that world peace is not possible without India playing a role, Bhagwat said.
"They believe it is only India and its rich tradition that can do this, the way it was demonstrated for 3,000 years. It is our responsibility to fulfill this requirement of the world," added the RSS chief.
