RSS to establish Hindu organisations in Bangladesh; Sangh in ‘mission mode’ for minority protection

A major strategy is emerging from the All India meeting of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) held here on Friday. The national executive meeting, chaired by Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat, has been underway since early this week.

According to sources, the Sangh is now preparing to strengthen its presence and support Hindu organisations in neighboring countries where Hindus are a minority and face continuous threats. The Sangh has expressed deep concern over the declining Hindu population, particularly in Bangladesh and Pakistan.

During the meeting, data and discussions highlighted that the proportion of Hindus in the global population is decreasing. Top RSS officials deliberated that where Hindus are a minority, they are not organised, which makes them vulnerable to violence and persecution. Sources indicate that the Sangh will now work on the principle of “organisation wherever Hindus are a minority.”

The current situation in Bangladesh was the subject of extensive discussion at the meeting.

According to sources, the RSS is now planning to establish local-level volunteers and Hindu organisations in Bangladesh. The objective is to prepare local Hindus for self-defence during times of disaster or violence and to protect their cultural identity.

To implement this strategic initiative, senior RSS officials are likely to hold an important meeting with representatives of the Indian government soon. This meeting will discuss diplomatic and grassroots measures to protect Hindus in neighboring countries and prevent demographic imbalances.

The Sangh believes that if strong Hindu organisations are not established in these countries on time, the existence of Hindus there could be completely wiped out in the coming decades.

This meeting in Vrindavan has made it clear that the RSS is now expanding its action plan to protect the interests of Hindus not only in India but also globally.
