RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat emphasized that the LGBTQ+ community is an integral part of Indian society and should not be ostracized.Speaking at an event in Telangana, he highlighted that Indian traditions have always acknowledged their existence without viewing them through a lens of inferiority.

Bhagwat noted that while some individuals are born into the LGBTQ+ identity, others may realize it later in life due to mindset or physical inclinations.

He argued that society should maintain a sympathetic attitude toward them, citing examples like deities, shrines, and participation in events like the Kumbh Mela.

The RSS chief also addressed gender roles, stating that neither men nor women can achieve everything alone and that collaboration is essential for societal progress.

He questioned the notion of superiority between genders, suggesting that marriage often traps individuals in a form of 'slavery' if one gender is considered superior.

Bhagwat's remarks underscored the need for societal acceptance and equal treatment of all communities, aligning with broader discussions on equality and inclusion.
