RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat Urges Three-Child Norm for Indian Families

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has urged every Indian family to have three children, citing benefits for both family dynamics and the country's demographic balance. He explained that families with three children learn to manage ego and interpersonal relationships better, and since India's official population policy targets 2.1 children per family, the practical number is effectively three. Bhagwat emphasized that families should have three children but no more, acknowledging challenges related to population pressures and resource provision. He linked demographic balance to national stability and warned against shifts that could create instability, also addressing concerns about infiltration, employment for Muslims within India, and religious conversion affecting population patterns. Bhagwat called for coexistence and confidence among communities, emphasizing cultural commonality while cautioning that permission must be obtained to prevent conflict. His statements reflect broader concerns about demographic changes and social harmony in India.
