Bhagwat addressed the Hindu Vishwa Bandhu event in Toronto before a large Indian diaspora audience.

He said India’s rise should contribute to united humanity rather than power.

He also invoked the line that if Hindus awaken, the world awakens.

Reporting says he highlighted India’s universal culture, diversity, and helpfulness.

More context

The coverage also notes remarks by former Canadian Defence Minister Jason Kenney welcoming bilateral ties and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s anticipated visit.

One report adds that Bhagwat referred to Hindu identity as broader than a single language or worship style, and to India as a refuge for persecuted groups.
