Demonstrators Protest “Universal Oneness” Event in New York Viral video

New York : Demonstrators gathered in New York City to protest a “Universal Oneness” celebration that was hosting Mohan Bhagwat, chief of India’s Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
The protest was held in connection with Bhagwat’s appearance at the event. Demonstrators raised objections to the RSS and its ideology, while expressing their opposition to Bhagwat’s presence in the city.
The RSS is a major Hindu nationalist organisation in India, and Bhagwat has served as its chief for many years. His visit to New York attracted attention among both supporters and critics of the organisation.
The “Universal Oneness” programme was presented as an event focused on unity and togetherness, but the participation of the RSS chief became a point of contention for protesters.
The demonstration reflects the wider political debate surrounding the RSS, Hindu nationalism and the role of its leadership in India and among the Indian diaspora abroad.
