The title of this write up has not been selected and given by this author but by no less a man than RRS chief called in Saffron terminology as Sarsangchalak Shri Mohan Bhagwat Ji. His words matter more and has great importance and influence among Hindus .And mind this appeal to majority community of Hindus at this juncture and socio-political scenario is most apt as well as relevant .Tolerance and Sarva Dharam Sambhava is the cardinal doctrine and principle of this land and its culture and it has in independent India found expression in what is called in constitution as secularism whose incorporation in Indian constitution in 1976 by 42 amendment to constitution has now been upheld by the Supreme Court of India ,though one can opine that there was no need to have word secular in the preamble of the constitution as India was already more than secular as the religious scriptures of Bharat talked of equal respect to all religions and so even if there would not have been explicit incorporation of word secular in constitution ,our country still will be a secular and plural land with tenets of tolerance and equal respect to all religious faiths. Mohan Bhagwat recently stated that there is no need to search for a Shivling in every mosque.RSS chief stated it in Nagpur the head office of RSS .He said there is no need to rake up more controversies over places of worship .

He stressed that even the Gyanvapi mosque issue can be resolved amicably by Hindus and Muslims .Bhagwat made this important and most relvant observation while addressing RSS workers passing out from their third training course which takes place in Nagpur annually .He said that the RSS had taken part in the Ayodhya temple campaign due to certain very important reasons .It was also made clear that RSS would not be part of any more new movements .There is no need to raise fresh disputes every day .It is a historical fact that invaders took to breaking down temples to crush the morale of Hindus and also create impression among newly converted Muslims .Bhagwat said Muslims of India are the descendents of Hindus and even Kskhtyras ,who were converted to a different faith .He also said that Hindus while raising any such issues should understand that Muslims are their own people whose faith changed .Bhagwat said that the Gyanvapi dispute involves some issues of faith and the court’s decision on it should be accepted by all ,but also there was no need to find a Shivling in every mosque and start a new dispute every day .
Parliament of India in 1991 had passed an important act called places of worship Act 1991 and this law has great bearing on the Hindu-Muslim unity and communal harmony and amity .The fundamental objective of the act is to preserve the religious character of any place of worship as it was on August 15,1947,when India attained freedom at least political .This implies an end on converting any place of worship from one religion to another .The Places of Worship Act 1991 was enacted to freeze the status of religious places as they existed on August 15,1947,and prohibits the conversion of any place of worship. The law was passed by parliament when Congress was in power at the centre .This law seems loaded against Hindu majority as it is their places of worship which had been demolished in the past by Muslim invaders and at their place erected mosques at hundreds of places .But it is also true that if new and new issues are raked and raised by the Hindus ,it will create animosity between Hindus and Muslims .It may also give rise to disintegration of the country and will also lead to civil war like conditions in the country and hence the majority community should not know rake and raise new claims over the mosques across the country .
Nation first is the appropriate slogan of our beloved prime minister Narendra Modi.It means that nation should be the first priority of any Indian belonging to any faith and religion .We should protect the unity ,social cohesion ,inter-faith unity and mutual brotherhood at any cost and also work for strengthening it further as it is badly needed for the unity of the nation .Therefore no new issues regarding places of worship should be raked and raised every new day and if it is done ,it will be detrimental for the social cohesion and national unity .Both the communities –Hindus as well as Muslims should show utmost restraint and patience .Muslims should show magnanimity and offer Gyanvapi structure at Kashi & mosque at Krishna Janamboomi to Hindus and the Hindus on their part should promise to not lay claim on any other mosque across the country.
Thus both Muslims and the big brother Hindus should show broadmindedness and sagacity and show utmost restraint and do nothing which will create animosity between the two communities .There is a wrong impression in the society and among Muslims that RSS is a communal and extremist organization and now it has become crystal clear that it is not communal as its chief has asked Hindus not to search Shivling beneath every mosque .Besides ,RSS involves itself in social work and voluntary help to the countrymen irrespective of the religious affiliation and it makes no discrimination while offering any aid in emergencies and natural calamities .However the Places of Worship Act ,1991is a piece of Indian law that has been the subject of various controversy since its introduction .The Act ,enacted in the aftermath of Ayodhya controversy ,intended to avoid repeated religious confrontations over places of worship .The fundamental objective of this act is to preserve the religious character of any place of worship as it was on August 15,1947, when India attained freedom .This implies an end on converting any place of worship from one religion to another .
The act also prohibits court interventions in problems concerning the religious nature of such places .The Act has been a subject of much debate and criticism. Hindu proponents oppose the law and they argue it unfairly restricts the rights of Hindus ,Jains ,Buddhists and Sikhs to reclaim their places that were allegedly converted to other religions after independence .Secularists and minority groups support and favor this law ,asserting that it prevents communal tensions and ensures religious harmony .They view it as a safeguard against attempts to change the religious character of places of worship through legal or extra-legal means .It can be said that it balances religious rights and social harmony and in fact strengthens secularism in the country .In short the words of wisdom and caution by Mohan Bhagwat that Hindus should not search Shivling in every mosque is worth appreciating and most relevant and need of the time as it will create inter –faith harmony and give goodbye to communalism and this observation will be triumph of pluralism ,secularism and Hindu-Muslim unity .Therefore the Hindu community should support and practice it in the country for keeping the nation united and so nation first should be the top priority of the countrymen.
