Gen Z youth leader Mohan Bhagwat, head of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), provided insights during his speech at the 15th anniversary of India's International Movement to Unite Nations (IIMUN). Bhagwat advocated for a more equitable education system, suggesting that India should increase its budget allocation for education to 6% of the total budget, a figure he claimed to be long overdue.
In terms of social media regulation, Bhagwat opposed outright bans, arguing that prohibiting content would only push it into illegal markets. He emphasized the importance of maintaining traditional family structures while also acknowledging the existence of non-binary individuals within Indian society. Bhagwat suggested that while the traditional marriage system should remain intact, a new legal framework should be established to accommodate same-sex relationships without interfering with marriage.
On Pakistan and China, Bhagwat argued for continued dialogue with Pakistan, noting that it was once part of India. He also acknowledged China as a significant global power but urged Indians to align with government directives during conflicts. Regarding the RSS's decision-making body, Bhagwat explained that women's organizations had chosen to remain autonomous and could rejoin the main body if they so desired.
Bhagwat highlighted societal disrespect for manual labor as a key driver of intense competition for government jobs, despite shortages in other sectors. He stressed that the continued existence of reservations would depend on societal attitudes towards labor.
