The RSS chief was speaking here at the inauguration of 'Madhukar Bhavan', the new Shri Narkesari Prakashan Ltd. building, which runs the newspaper 'Dainik Tarun Bharat', PTI reported.
"Hindustan (India) is a 'Hindu Rashtra' and this is a fact. Ideologically, all Bharatiyas (Indians) are Hindus and Hindus mean all Bharatiyas. All those who are in Bharat (India) today are related to Hindu culture, Hindu ancestors and Hindu land, nothing other than these," he said.
"Some people have understood this, while some are not implementing it even after understanding because of their habits and selfishness. Also, some people have either not understood or forgotten it," he said.
Addressing the gathering at the newspaper office, he said reporting should cover everyone and be done fairly and based on facts while "keeping our own ideology intact".

Bhagwat said "our ideology" is much sought-after the world over. In fact, there is no alternative to this ideology, he said.
"Everybody has understood this. Some acknowledge it, some do not," he said, adding that it is natural that the global responsibility in this regard will come on the country and society and those media that disseminate the "ideology".
Bhagwat also stressed the need to care for the environment and focus on "Swadeshi", family values and discipline.
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), often abbreviated as RSS, is a Hindu nationalist, right-wing, and volunteer-based organization in India. It was founded in 1925 by Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, a doctor in the city of Nagpur, with the aim of promoting the cultural and spiritual values of Hinduism and fostering a sense of national pride and unity among Hindus.
The RSS plays a significant role in the socio-cultural landscape of India, and its influence extends to various aspects of Indian society. It has a complex relationship with Indian politics, having been associated with the rise of the BJP, which is currently the ruling party at the national level in India. However, the RSS itself maintains a separation from direct political involvement. (With inputs from PTI)
