NEW DELHI, Feb 2026 : RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has called for uniting and empowering the Hindu society, saying there is no threat but vigilance is necessary, and suggested that Hindu families should consider having at least three children.
He also said that infiltrators should be “detected, deleted and deported”.
Addressing a social-harmony meeting at the Saraswati Shishu Mandir in Lucknow, Bhagwat expressed concern over what he described as a declining Hindu population and said inducement- or coercion-based religious conversions should be stopped.
On Hindu families having at least three children, Bhagwat cited scientific opinions that societies with an average fertility rate of below three could disappear in the future.
He also emphasised accelerating efforts to bring people back to the Hindu-fold and ensuring their welfare.
“There is a need to unite and empower Hindus. There is no threat to us but vigilance is necessary,” the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief said.
Raising concerns over infiltration, Bhagwat said infiltrators should be “detected, deleted and deported”, and should not be provided employment.
Bhagwat said newly-married couples should be made aware of this and added that the purpose of marriage is to carry forward creation, not merely fulfilling one’s own desires.
