The author argues against dismissing RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s statements about Muslims’ right to equal existence. He contends the RSS can evolve, and Bhagwat’s remarks on diversity and unity are genuine, not mere posturing. While acknowledging the poor ground reality for Muslims, the piece emphasizes that Bhagwat’s morally clear words offer hope and positively influence public perception. The author believes the evolving RSS, with Bhagwat articulating modern views, acts as a crucial counterforce to political rhetoric, signifying a vital shift.
