Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Wednesday asserted that the outfit was not against inter-caste marriages, adding that such kind of marriages were most common among volunteers of the Sangh.
Addressing the last day of the three-day lecture series at New Delhi's Vigyan Bhavan, the RSS chief said inter-caste marriage was an issue of compatibility between men and women.
"First inter-caste marriage in Maharashtra took place in 1942, congratulatory messages poured in for them, including ones from Baba Saheb Ambedkar and Sri Guruji. Guruji had said 'you aren't getting married only due to physical attraction. You want to convey that everyone is equal. If you do a survey of intercaste marriages in India, maybe you will find the maximum percentage of those being swayamsevaks from Sangh," he added.
