We must resolve to embrace India’s eternal spiritual ideals in our lives and fulfill our national duties, ensuring the unity, security, and development of the country.”
Hosabale also praised the Indian Armed Forces, security personnel, police, and various social and religious institutions for their unwavering dedication to protecting the Republic and preserving India’s ancient heritage. He reiterated that RSS volunteers have been practicing this commitment for over a century—serving the nation, protecting the Republic, and being guided by the principles of ‘Rashtra Dharma.’
