Gen Z’s grievances are genuine: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat addressed the grievances of Gen Z during an interview at an event organized by the India’s International Movement to Unite Nations (IIMUN) on August 6, 2026. Disagreeing with the "anti-nationals" label for young protesters, Bhagwat stated that Gen Z's protests represent a significant dialogue in democracy and should be used to foster consensus.
He emphasized that Gen Z is more honest and logical than previous generations, seeking answers and love, which should be reciprocated. Bhagwat proposed a law allowing same-sex companions to coexist without the traditional institution of marriage, highlighting the need to accommodate diverse communities within the societal framework.
He cautioned against commercializing education, advocating for its accessibility to all, and urged respect for Ambedkar's principles while addressing the reservation policy's intent. Regarding India's relations with Pakistan and China, Bhagwat advocated for maintaining civilian interactions during peacetime and preserving existing ties during conflicts, while emphasizing the importance of resolving disputes without resorting to permanent hatred.
