Dr Ambedkar's contribution makes him adorable to all Indians: Bhagwat
Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat applauded the role of Dr BR Ambedkar in bringing social harmony to the nation.
'One cannot forget the contribution made by Dr Ambedkar and this makes him adorable to all Indians,' he said while interacting with RSS activists from Braj Prant on the fifth and last day of his five-day visit to Aligarh on Monday.
'India can never forget the contribution that Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar made for nation,' the RSS chief added. Talking about social harmony, he stressed that 'Panch Parivartan', which includes social harmony, should not remain only a subject of speeches but should be first practised in true sense.
'Before preaching others about it, we need to practise the Panch Parivartan ourselves,' Bhagwat said. The 'Panch Parivartan' (five fold transformation in the society) are Kutumbh Prabhodhan (family values), environmental protection, social harmony, self reform and duties of citizens as fundamental pillars of change.
As per a press statement issued by 'Prachar Vibhag' of the RSS on Monday, Bhagwat gave clues for carrying these five fundamental pillars of change to the core of the society. 'Society is looking upon RSS with hope and thus whatever we communicate to it, will be accepted well. Thus, it is important for us to go to the society with full preparations,' he said.
Elaborating on 'Panch Parivartan', Bhagwat first talked about social harmony, saying 'our goal is to remove differences in the society.' 'We need to weed out caste-based differences and reach households of all sections of the society, invite them for food at our home and this could be well done by a Swayamsewak by setting an example,' he added.
'We need to have food collectively, pray together in family. This is required because families are disintegrating and thus Swayamsewaks should come forward and tell the society that family is our basic,' the RSS chief said.
Bhagwat also advocated 'swadeshi' and urged Swayamsewaks to promote our own nation's products in our lives and this 'swa' (self) of 'swadeshi' will make us have a sense of pride towards nation.
Talking about environmental protection, he stressed planting more saplings, preventing pollution and contributing in having cleaner ponds, river and water bodies besides arranging food for birds.
'We need to know about our duties as citizens and ensure its compliance and then take the message to the common man so that a mindset is developed to serve the nation,' said Bhagwat who later left for Delhi.

RSS chief urges citizens to adopt 'Swadeshi' products for India's growth
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat, here on Monday called on students, businessmen, and the public to reflect on how they can contribute to the country's development by pledging to use 'Swadeshi' products -- those made within India -- in their daily lives. This information was shared by RSS Prant Prachar Pramukh Dr. Anupam. Anupam quoted Bhagwat saying, "This resolution should start with our own lives and spread through our families, localities, cities, and states. The money earned in our country should remain in the country and be used for its development. We must conduct our lives with this mindset." Bhagwat emphasised that only a deep sense of patriotism in everyday life can propel both individuals and the nation forward, enabling comprehensive progress. Addressing students and businessmen, Bhagwat asked, "If you are students, how much time do you dedicate to your studies? If businessmen, how long do you work in your trade?" He added that whatever work an RSS worker performs, it is done as a 'Sadhak' (?a dedicated practitioner). He called upon students to become ideal professionals and inspiring examples for others in their fields. When inquiring about how much time attendees devote daily to 'Sangh' activities, participants shared their individual commitments. Bhagwat also highlighted the important role society plays alongside the army and government in ensuring national security. "We should all think about what we can do for the benefit of the country," he said. Bhagwat had arrived in Kanpur on Saturday for a two-day visit and departed Monday for Patna by train after completing his schedule. During his stay, the RSS chief held around 10 meetings with Sangh officials, according to Anupam.

Illegal Mexicans or legal Indians: Controversial poll resurfaces as LA burns, 'Be very careful what you wish for'
In a recent social media poll, Americans said they would prefer illegal Mexicans over legal Indians. As Los Angeles burns amid anti-ICE protests, a controversial poll resurfaced on social media in which Americans chose illegal Mexicans over legal Indians. As many of the LA rioters are Mexicans and they waved Mexico flags in their protest, some social media users dug up the poll, conducted not long ago and showed that the result of choosing illegal Mexicans over legal Indians is in front of everyone. "Be very careful what you wish for, last year Americans have chosen illegal Mexican over legal Indians. While illegal Indians are being deported without any noise, Mexicans and others have burnt LA," one wrote. In one such poll conducted as recent as April 22, 84 per cent chose illegal Mexicans and 16 per cent legal Indians. "Illegal Mexicans are welcomed, Legal Indians are denied in most powerful country. Result infront of you," one wrote on X sharing the video of cars on fire in LA. — Netajinonsense1 (@Netajinonsense1) "Whole west make racism against Indian but the thing is that Indians respect law of the land work hard make progress, don't run for easy money," another wrote. In a similar poll conducted in December 2024, 82 per cent picked illegal Mexicans. Some social media users explained that the context of those polls was different as the polls were conducted mostly on H-1b rows. Legal Indians take up Americans' jobs and they can't be deported and that's why illegal Mexicans were picked in those polls, some said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The LA riots started from protests against ICE raids in Los Angeles. About 35 Mexicans were reportedly detained in these raids, following which Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said migrants are not criminals."Mexicans living in the United States are good men and women, honest people who went to the United States to seek a better life for themselves and to support their families. They are not criminals! They are good men and women," the Mexican president said. Donald Trump deployed National Guard troops in Los Angeles, which started a Dem-Republicans tussle with Dem Governor Gavin Newsom resisting the deployment of the troops. While Newsom threatened to sue Trump and asked border czar Tom Homan to arrest him, Trump said he would have arrested Newsom had he been Tom. Trump defended the decision of sending the National Guards to LA and said if it was not done, Los Angeles would have been completely obliterated.

When momo is less than it seems
ET Bureau If there's one myth about India that refuses to go away, it's the one about us being a nation of leaf-eaters. The truth is far juicier. Multiple surveys show that over 70% of Indians enjoy their succulent mutton tikkas and artery-clogging fish orlys. Add to that the quiet carnivores: those who eat non-veg on the sly but would never squeal. Yet, the illusion lives on, fuelling food fights both literal and legal. Two residents of Dadar recently hauled a popular momo chain to the Mumbai Suburban District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission - a mouthful, if there ever was one - claiming they were served chicken momos instead of veg ones. Their religious sentiments, they said, were deeply hurt - as was an 'upcoming' puja that, conveniently, had no fixed date, no deity or pandit to back it up. For their troubles, they sought ₹6 lakh in damages, hoping to make a serious point about respecting beliefs. The commission wasn't chewing it. The invoice clearly said that they had ordered non-veg momos, and their 'evidence' - a few fuzzy photos and a sob story - didn't cut the chutney. The panel did wonder why, if they were that strict, did they not stick to a 'pure-veg' joint? Even if there was a mix-up, it all sounded highly suspicious. In a land where garlic divides families, maybe just read the bill - before chasing moksha, or compensation.
