AGRA: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat has called
for the demolition of caste barriers which he said have obstructed the
growth of Hinduism and shackled Hindu society for hundreds of years.
Bhagwat was interacting with intellectuals in the Taj city Monday
night after a two-day jamboree of the organisation in Agra.
He said the RSS was in no dilemma or confusion over its ideological posturing.
"We are for change in Hindu society and this can be done only when all
of us launch an all out assault on casteism. RSS activists are way
ahead in this campaign. A recent survey has indicated that the number
of intercaste marriages was the highest in the RSS," he said.
Bhagwat's focus was on attacking casteism, which he said should be
abolished and RSS workers should spearhead the movement for bringing
down caste barriers to integrate Hindu society.
The RSS chief Bhagwat interacted with office bearers and senior
leaders of the organisation to evolve a strategy for future action
programmes.
