In his address during the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) national meet, General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale emphasised the “need for Hindu unity” to “combat divisive forces within society”. His remarks followed Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s “batengey toh katengey” (divided we fall) slogan, which has been echoed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Hosabale asserted that discrimination based on language, state, or caste could lead to societal decay. “If we discriminate/divide on the basis of language, state, upper and backward castes, then we will be decimated (Hum jaati, bhasha, prant agla-pitchda bhed se hum karengey toh hum katengey),” he warned, underlining the urgency for unity among Hindus. He stated, “The issue is of Hindu unity… when people forget the Hindu thought, they invite disaster.”
