'Teaching lesson to oppressors key part of India's values': Mohan Bhagwat veiled warning after Pahalgam horror

Published on 26/04/2025 10:11 PM

In a pointed remark days after the Pahalgam terror attacks in which at least 28 people lost their lives, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on April 26 said non-violence is India's religion and a key part of its values, but so is teaching a lesson to "oppressors and hooligans"

Speaking at an event to mark the release of the book 'The Hindu Manifesto' in New Delhi, Bhagwat also gave the example of Ravan and said he was killed not to harm him but for his own good.

"We never harm or disrespect our neighbours but if someone is bent on being evil, what is the cure? The king's duty is to protect the people and he will do his duty. The Gita teaches non-violence, but the teaching is to ensure that Arjun fights and kills. Because he was confronted with people whose development could only be done this way," Bhagwat said during the event.

"Non-violence is our nature, our value," the RSS chief said, asserting, "our non-violence is to change people and make them non-violent too. Some people will change, seeing our example, but others won't... they won't change no matter what you do and cause disorder in the world. So what will you do.
