Mohan Bhagwat, Sarsanghchalak of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), on Tuesday said that everyone must obey the law, and if a law is considered wrong, it should be changed through constitutional means, not through conflict. He emphasised that caste divisions should never become a source of confrontation in society.
Speaking at a social harmony meeting at Saraswati Shishu Mandir in Nirala Nagar here, Bhagwat said, “If the law is wrong, there is a way to change it. Castes should not become a cause of conflict. If there is a sense of belonging in society, such problems will not arise.”

In an apparent reference to the debate around new UGC regulations, he stressed the importance of social cohesion, saying society progresses through coordination, not conflict. “Those who have fallen must be lifted up. Everyone is our own, and there should be no mindset of suppressing one to elevate another,” he said.

Calling for greater unity, Bhagwat said Hindu society must remain organised and empowered. He expressed concern over religious conversions allegedly driven by greed or coercion and said efforts to facilitate “Ghar Wapsi” should continue, along with support for those returning to Hinduism.
He also voiced concern over illegal infiltration, stating that infiltrators should be identified and deported and should not be given employment. Stressing demographic concerns, he said Hindus should aim to have at least three children, adding that societies with very low birth rates risk decline in the future.
Highlighting the importance of social harmony, Bhagwat said discrimination had developed over time and must be eradicated. “We are all children of one motherland. As human beings, we are one. Sanatan ideology is an ideology of harmony,” he said.
He added that the Sangh does not believe in eliminating those who oppose it. “There is one truth everywhere. Understanding and practising this philosophy will end discrimination,” he said.
Bhagwat also spoke about the role of women in society, describing them as the foundation of the family, and said India has solutions to many global problems and would guide the world in the future.
He urged communities to hold regular social harmony meetings to remove misunderstandings and support weaker sections. Bhagwat also cautioned that some foreign forces were working against India’s interests and stressed the need for unity and mutual trust among citizens.
