On October 2, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat delivered his annual Vijayadashami address at the organization’s headquarters in Nagpur, Maharashtra. This year, the address held particular significance as the RSS marks its centenary. During his speech, Bhagwat underscored the necessity for an indigenous and self-reliant approach in global diplomatic and economic engagements, while cautioning that reliance should not evolve into a mandatory dependency. The event also featured Bhagwat performing ‘Shastra Puja’ and saw the presence of prominent attendees including former President Ram Nath Kovind, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
