The process of preserving identity and connecting with "our glorified past" cannot be undertaken overnight and will require a sustained campaign, he said at an event. "If we would take an about-turn suddenly, the vehicle will topple, so we will have to do this slowly and steadily. History is not merely about books, it is very much about geography and people," he said. Bhagwat said it was unfortunate that people in the country "accepted the narrative of powers that came from outside" and sought to "ridicule our history, ancestors, values and cultural practices." Speaking at the launch of a book -- Connecting with the Mahabharata -- Bhagwat cautioned against blindly aping other countries. "There is a need to read and feel proud of our scriptures and history and

Whole world is looking at India for knowledge, says RSS chief Bhagwat

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Wednesday said people of the country need to understand their "swa" (self) because the whole world is looking at India for knowledge. He was speaking at a seminar on the subject "Swadhinta Se Swatantrata Ki Aur", organised by the RSS' sister outfit Bharatiya Vichar Manch here. "Other countries look toward ancient Indian philosophy for guidance. Our ancient scriptures and books are eternal. Even today, the whole world looks toward India for knowledge. In such a situation, we all need to understand our 'swa' (self)," Bhagwat is quoted as saying in a release. Even top judges have appealed to make necessary changes in the judicial process "on that basis", he said. "It's the religion which teaches us the lessons of love, compassion, truth and penance. We never divided knowledge as indigenous or foreign. We always believed in adopting good thoughts coming from all directions. Countries which forget their history are destined to be

Owaisi ridicules RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's remarks on Gyanvapi issue

Alleging that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh participated in the demolition of Babri Masjid "disrespecting" the Supreme Court and later defended the action saying it was necessary for "historic reasons", AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday questioned if the RSS would follow a similar method in the Gyanavapi issue. Reacting to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's speech on Thursday that the Gyanvapi dispute involves some issues of faith and the court's decision on it should be accepted by all, the Hyderabad MP in a series of tweets said forcible conversion was a lie and Bhagwat and his ilk cannot accept that people born in modern India are Indian citizens. It is irrelevant where their forefathers came from, or who they were, or what they did, Bhagwat said. "Bhagwat's incendiary speech on #Gyanvapi mustn't be ignored. He said an agitation for #Babri was necessary for historical reasons. In other words, RSS didn't respect SC & participated in demolition of masjid. Does this mean that ...
