RSS chief pitches for 3 children in Hindu families

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Tuesday called for uniting and empowering the Hindu society, saying there is no threat but vigilance is necessary, and suggested that Hindu families should consider having at least three children.
He also said that infiltrators should be “detected, deleted and deported”. Addressing a social-harmony meeting at the Saraswati Shishu Mandir, Bhagwat expressed concern over what he described as a declining Hindu population and said inducement—or coercion-based religious conversions should be stopped.
He also emphasised accelerating efforts to bring people back to the Hindu fold and ensuring their welfare.” There is a need to unite and empower Hindus. There is no threat to us but vigilance is necessary,” the RSS chief said.
Raising concerns over infiltration, Bhagwat said infiltrators should be “detected, deleted and deported” and should not be provided employment.
He also said Hindu families should consider having at least three children, citing scientific opinions that societies with an average fertility rate of below three could disappear in the future. Bhagwat said newly-married couples should be made aware of this and added that the purpose of marriage is to carry forward creation, not merely fulfilling one's own desires.
Bhagwat said a lack of harmony leads to discrimination and stressed that all citizens share one country and one motherland.
“The Sanatan thought is a philosophy of harmony,” he said, adding that differences that have emerged over time must be addressed through understanding and practice.
