RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale said caste-based discrimination is a 'stigma on Hindu society' and called for ending it through individual conduct and behaviour, not just laws or preaching. Speaking at an event in Bhopal on Sunday, he said discrimination based on birth is not part of Hindu culture and that such evil behaviour weakens society.
Hindustan Times reports Hosabale urged people to make a personal commitment: 'We will not discriminate on the basis of caste.' He said ending the practice will happen through our own conduct. ABP Live adds that Hosabale stressed social unity, comparing collective strength to a clenched fist, and linked the fight against caste divisions to India's global rise under the Prime Minister's leadership.
Hosabale noted the RSS centenary year is drawing to a close but said there is no full stop to its work or to Bharat's journey. He called on workers to carry out national service selflessly, ensuring a modern India adapts to the future while staying rooted in its cultural foundations.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Hindustan Times sticks to a straight report of Hosabale's remarks on caste, treating it as the lead. ABP Live wraps the same speech in a wider narrative of national pride and RSS service, foregrounding the PM's role and India's global prestige. Neither source quotes any critic or data on caste discrimination. The balanced reading: Hosabale acknowledged caste as a stigma, but the pro-government framing shifts focus from systemic inequality to individual conduct and national unity. The key watch item is whether any political response or data on caste violence follows this statement.
