Cultural Marxists, Woke Elements Using Media, Academia To Spoil Country’s Culture: Mohan Bhagwa

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat on Tuesday claimed that “cultural Marxists” and “woke” people were influencing the academia and the media to spoil India’s culture and education.

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is the parent organisation of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.

During an annual event in Nagpur to mark the Hindu festival of Dussehra, Bhagwat described cultural Marxists and “wokes” as selfish, discriminatory and deceitful forces. While the term “woke” is often used to describe persons who are politically conscious and alert to social inequalities, in recent years, it has also been increasingly used in a sarcastic vein.

Bhagwat said that while some “forces wear the mask of some ideology or the other” claim to be working for “some lofty goals, their real objectives are something else”.
