Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Saturday said the people of India were united despite religious and cultural diversities.
“Despite diversities, we are united. We are one. We may have different systems as per regions, religions and beliefs. We have several regions and states in the country. We have different rituals and beliefs. We also have different gods and goddesses but all these diversities don’t change our unity,” he said while addressing a gathering of intellectuals in Jammu on the penultimate day of his four-day visit to the region.
Bhagwat also alluded to the revocation of Article 370 and said that mentality has to change before any change is made in the system.
“The system changed, like here (in J&K). Article 370 is not anymore but has it gone away from the heart?…why states fight against each other, like Kaveri river water issue. What good would be done by changing the system…mentality has to change,” he said.
