Modern ‘secularism’ is a Western concept, does not fit India: Mohan Bhagwat

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat addressed young attendees at the 'Yuva Dharma Sansad' in Ujjain, warning against excessive ego and the illusion of personal control over circumstances. He emphasized that India's traditional values prioritize non-discrimination and equal respect for all religions, contrasting this with the Western concept of secularism, which he claims originated from historical conflicts between rulers and religious authorities. Bhagwat argued that secularism, as understood in the West, does not align with India's holistic view of life centered on dharma. He also discussed India's foreign policy stance, noting that the country responds to threats when necessary but avoids unnecessary involvement in global conflicts.
