The Story in Brief
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Saturday said India can become a true Vishwaguru only if marginalised communities are brought into the mainstream. Speaking after inaugurating sports grounds at a residential school for the Pardhi community in Khamgaon, Maharashtra, Bhagwat urged society to ensure education and basic necessities for every family and individual, without merely depending on the government.
He noted that communities now called 'bhatke-vimukt' (nomadic and de-notified tribes) were once repositories of knowledge but were branded criminal tribes during British rule because they participated in the freedom struggle. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Ambadas Danve was present at the event.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that the RSS is finally prioritising marginalised communities may be overstated, as Bhagwat's words have yet to translate into systemic change for denotified tribes. Yet dismissing the speech as mere rhetoric ignores the historical injustice of the Criminal Tribes Act that targeted communities like the Pardhi. The real test will be whether the Sangh pushes for legislative reversal of that colonial legacy and delivers measurable improvements in literacy and employment for these groups.
