India's RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, heading the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)—a Hindu nationalist organization founded in 1925 that serves as the ideological backbone of India's ruling political party BJP—has set a 2047 goal for 'Akhand Bharat,' 'undivided India' a plan that endangers the sovereignty of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and also includes Chinese autonomous region Tibet.
After the British rule ended in 1947, the countries that have separated from India will come together to form 'Akhand Bharat' (Undivided India) — which will be a Hindu state. In this state, people aged 16 and above will have the right to vote. The minimum age for contesting elections will be 25. The country will be governed according to the caste system. The Caste System dividing people into rigid hereditary groups—Brahmins (priests), Kshatriyas (warriors), Vaishyas (traders), and Shudras (laborers)—with Dalits (formerly "untouchables") historically marginalized outside this structure.
According to Mohan Bhagwat's statement, the envisioned 'Akhand Bharat' (Undivided India) would be a "Hindu state," with its character and constitution already drafted. Back in 2022, the draft constitution was unveiled in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s constituency, Varanasi, by Swami Anand Swarup, the head of the Shankaracharya Parishad, who declared that Muslims and Christians residing in Akhand Bharat would not have voting rights, although they would still enjoy the same civic privileges and rights as others. Varanasi is set to become the capital of this proposed Akhand Bharat, where a new religious parliament would also be established.
