'New generation asks questions, we've to explain reasoning to them': RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat

New Delhi [India]: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat has said that the younger generation today is more inclined to ask questions and stressed the need to explain the reasoning behind things while maintaining affection, communication and meaningful engagement with them.

Bhagwat made the remarks while addressing the concluding session of the Vishwa Mangalya Sabha's National Enlightenment Meeting on "Contemporary Motherhood" at the Ambedkar International Centre on Friday in the national capital.

Speaking at the event, Bhagwat said that unlike the earlier era of obedience, the new generation seeks explanations and understanding. He emphasised that elders need to give the younger generation affection and spend time with them to build stronger bonds and better understanding.

"When we were young, it was an era of obedience. That's not the case anymore. The new generation asks questions. We have to explain the reasoning to them. We need to give them a lot of affection. We need to spend time with them. We need to communicate with them. Nowadays, conversation has stopped even within families," the RSS chief added.

Bhagwat said the creation, nurturing and continuity of life are impossible without motherhood, describing it as the foundation of human civilisation, according to a press release.
