Dear Shri Bhagwat,
I offer you my sincere felicitations on your assumption of office as Sar Sanchalak of the RSS.
Under your leadership and guidance the RSS should make a sincere effort to study the problems and grievances of the Muslim community with sympathy and understanding. Such an approach will serve to integrate our nation and not divide it on religious lines. It shall particularly draw Muslim Indians into the mainstream of national life – society, economy and polity. Muslim Indians have a religion distinct from that of Hindu Indians; but, otherwise, they are equally Indians and dedicated to the progress and development of their common motherland, as they face the same problem. It would be in the interest of the country not to allow one sixth of the population to live in a state of alienation and frustration but join hands with enthusiasm with all other people and participate in building bridges and solving national problems.
Mutual understanding will no doubt moderate the attitude of the RSS towards the Muslims and the Muslim perception of the RSS as an anti-Muslim organization.
With kind regards |
