Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat on Saturday said that compared to other countries, "nationalism is not an issue in India," and anyone attempting to label the RSS as merely a `nationalist` organisation is misplaced in understanding the organisation.

Addressing the ongoing Nagpur Book Festival, RSS chief and sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat said, "People call us `rashtrvaadi` (nationalist). We don`t have disputes with anyone; we stay away from disputes. It is not part of our nature. Our nature and culture are to progress together. This is not the case with many foreign nations," as cited by news agency ANI.
