Maharashtra Governor C P Radhakrishnan has raised concerns about the presence of secessionist forces in some Indian states, underscoring the lasting importance of the unity and integration propagated by RSS founder K B Hedgewar.

During a book release event for 'Hedgewar (Founder of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) - A Definitive Biography' by British Indian author Sachin Nandha, Radhakrishnan contested the view that India had never been a cohesive nation. He pointed to Emperor Ashoka's historical unification of the subcontinent as evidence of India's long-standing unity.

The Governor also highlighted the divisive impact of foreign invasions and reiterated the significance of Hedgewar's message today. He praised the RSS's contribution through its history of producing dedicated patriots and shared insights from his connection with the Sangh, particularly in Tamil Nadu.
