Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Nagpur recently marked a significant event in the 100-year journey of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). During his visit, he paid homage to Dr. K.B. Hedgewar, the founder of the RSS, at the RSS Smriti Mandir and later visited the Deeksha Bhoomi, the sacred site where Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and his followers embraced Buddhism in 1956. This dual visit was a powerful message of unity, as it brought together two ideologies that were historically seen as opposites. Modi's gestures at both sites symbolized the common values that RSS and Ambedkar's movement share, particularly their emphasis on social equality and the eradication of discrimination. Though there has been historical tension between the RSS and Ambedkar’s followers, the Prime Minister’s actions signify a shift towards mutual respect and understanding. In his address at Deeksha Bhoomi, Modi highlighted the importance of an inclusive India, aligning with Ambedkar's vision of equality while reinforcing the RSS's commitment to national unity and social harmony. This convergence of ideas represents a broader shift in the nation’s political and ideological landscape, reinforcing the values of inclusiveness and harmony.

00:00The Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the Sangh Mukhiyalaya and paid obeisance to Dr. Hedgewar.
00:05The pictures of the RSS Smriti Mandir are in front of you.
00:08After that, he went to the Diksha Bhoomi, where Baba Bheemrao Ambedkar and his followers had accepted Buddhism in 1956.
00:15He paid obeisance there.
00:17Two different pictures are in front of you right now.
00:19And then, along with those lines, Vijayji, I will quickly take a comment.
00:22Often, when we say,
00:24बुद्धं शरनं गच्छामी, संगं शरणं गच्छामी, संग की शरण में जाओ,
00:29और आपने तो किताब भी लिख दी है, संगं शरणं गच्छामी,
00:32बढ़ा दिल्शस पई और आज दो अलग-अलग तस्वीरें,
00:35लेकिन उसी मनो भावना को वियक्त करती हैं।
00:38दोनों विचार नहीं महतपून है, डिख्षा भूमी का विचार है,
00:42और हेट-गवार इसमती सभा विचार है, दोनों महतपून विचार है,
00:48और दोनों में एक बड़ा हुआ हुआ, वो कि दोनों सामंजस के पर आ गयें.
00:53Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going to both the places at the same time, this is an important thing.
00:57It has never happened that the Prime Minister has gone to both the places at the same time.
01:01And today's day is also important that the Prime Minister and the head of the Sangh are giving a speech from the same platform.
01:07I don't remember if it has ever happened that the Prime Minister and the head of the Sangh have given a speech at the same time.
01:13Yes, not in such programs. The speech at the Ram Mandir was a different program.
01:19Today's speech will be a very important speech and it will take both the things forward.
01:25And I feel that today Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be able to discuss all the things related to RSS.
01:33And going to Ismriti Mandir and Deeksha together is also a part of prosperity.
01:40Because a lot of people keep asking this question that what is RSS?
01:43RSS is an organization of Savarnas. There has never been a Dalit or a Pichra.
01:48However, if you go to the Sangh, there is no awareness of caste there.
01:52If you go to the Sangh branches or Nagpur, which is their third year OTC, which is considered the most important training,
01:58there is no mention of caste there.
02:01So you will not even know how it will be.
02:03And when self-employed people from all over the country gather there, how is their distribution done?
02:09When you don't believe in caste, why do you keep getting accused of being a Brahmin?
02:14Some people even mention the death penalty for joining RSS.
02:18That is because in the last 100 years, there has never been a Dalit head of the Sangh.
02:23So it can be a question.
02:25But as a thought, and let me tell you one more important thing,
02:29that there is a constitution of the Sangh.
02:31It is not a constitution, it is a point of view.
02:34In which the code of the Sangh is written.
02:36That is, how to work in the Sangh.
02:38It is also written in it that how far the flag of the Sangh will be,
02:42how far the stage will be, what clothes you have to wear.
02:45Everything is in it, it is a thought.
02:47Who is the person who wrote that thought point?
02:50Ranga Hari.
02:51And Ranga Hari is a Dalit.
02:53The most important thing about the Sangh,
02:55the thought of the Sangh that is going on all over the world,
02:58that has been written by Ranga Hari.
03:01And once there was a discussion that someone told about Ranga Hari that he is a Dalit.
03:05So there was a big objection in the Sangh.
03:07When we do not discuss this matter.
03:09Gandhi ji was being mentioned by Rakeer ji.
03:11No, so when people ask who is a Dalit, then you will have to tell.
03:15But you are saying that the people of the Sangh are angry with this.
03:18They do not keep this thought separate.
03:21So as Gandhi ji asked, when Gandhi ji went there,
03:24at that time it was called Bhangi Basti.
03:26It is a strange thing to call it today.
03:28When he was in the camp in Delhi, Gandhi ji went there.
03:31So Gandhi asked a question.
03:33The next day he met Edgawal ji.
03:35In the camp of the Sangh, he asked how many Dalits are here?
03:39Because Gandhi's focus was on Harijan.
03:41How many Harijans are there?
03:43So he replied that we do not have this recognition.
03:46The Sangh is the Sangh, Modi.
03:48That is why our discussion is going on continuously.
03:50You are seeing a lot of coverage.
03:51There are different programs of the Prime Minister in Nagpur.
03:53But everyone's eyes are on this.
03:54When PM talks about RSS,
03:56how does he express his feelings in words?
04:00Here we are showing you,
04:02when PM Narendra Modi reached the Diksha Bhoomi,
04:05and at that time, after doing Darshan Poojan,
04:07the way he is saying his words,
04:09we are showing that in the visitor book.
04:11Babasaheb Ambedkar's Panch Teerthon.
04:13If we can show it in full frame,
04:15then I will be able to read it better and tell the audience.
04:18Babasaheb Ambedkar's Panch Teerthon.
04:21I am fortunate to have come to the Diksha Bhoomi in Nagpur.
04:25In the atmosphere of this holy place,
04:28if you lower the breaking news of Babasaheb Ambedkar,
04:31then I will be able to read the next lines.
04:33The Prime Minister has raised the screen.
04:35We will take you to the new peak of progress.
04:38The creation of a developed and prosperous India
04:40will be our true devotion to Babasaheb Ambedkar.
04:43Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given this message in Diksha Bhoomi.
04:47Even before this, in Diksha Bhoomi,
04:49many other Prime Ministers have gone to Diksha Bhoomi in 2017.
04:51Today is a snowy day.
04:52But today is an important day.
04:54And with this question,
04:55Rakesh Shukla ji, coming to you,
04:57on one hand, when he expresses his feelings in beautiful words about Headgewar,
05:03and on the other hand, when he goes to Diksha Bhoomi,
05:05it is believed that these two have never been complete to each other.
05:08Babasaheb Ambedkar and Dr. Headgewar.
05:10They were opposed to each other.
05:12But today, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi goes there,
05:15what message is being tried to convey?
05:17In both, the Prime Minister has mentioned the word of values.
05:23And in Sangh and Babasaheb,
05:25there was a relationship of values.
05:27What were the values?
05:28Of strength.
05:29That the differences in the country should end.
05:32With this value, Sangh is also moving forward.
05:35And with this value, Babasaheb Ambedkar is also moving forward.
05:39So, the strength of values,
05:42the values for which both have gone,
05:45the Prime Minister is talking about the same values.
05:49And I feel that the Indian Government,
05:51the Indian People's Party, the National Self-Defense Forces,
05:54are moving forward with the same values.
05:57The values on which Babasaheb Ambedkar had given the message to follow.
06:02Again and again, on behalf of the great personalities of the country,
06:05all thoughts have been adopted to end discrimination.
06:09Efforts have been made.
06:11But the big question is that when the RSS is completing its 100 years,
06:15the politics of the country is taking a new turn with the name of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar.
06:20Even at that time, why did this discrimination not end with the roots of India?
06:25This is where we will move forward in the discussion.
06:27Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech is about to take place.
06:29The eyes of the country and the world are constantly on his speech.
06:32PM Modi is going to speak from the RSS Headquarters in Nagpur.
