Event Summary

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, during his centenary-year global outreach tour, addressed the 'One World, One Humanity' faith leaders' conference in New York on August 29, 2026. He emphasized that a Hindu who believes Muslims should not live in Bharat ceases to be a Hindu, reaffirming the RSS's commitment to interfaith harmony and the principle of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' (the world is one family). Bhagwat cited the RSS's service work, including relief efforts after the 1996 Charkhi Dadri mid-air collision, to illustrate the organization's non-discriminatory approach. He also spoke at a mega rally at Madison Square Garden's Infosys Theatre, organized by American Hindus for Engagement and Dialogue (AHEAD), urging the Indian diaspora to remain loyal to their 'karmabhumi' while embracing diversity. His tour also includes visits to the United Kingdom and Canada.
