Nagpur (Maharashtra) [India], October 15 (ANI): Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat on Friday said that the country's journey from 'swadheehnta to swatantrata' is as yet far from complete as there are elements in the world for whom India's progress and its rise to a respected position are detrimental to their vested interests.
Shri Mohan Bhagwat further said that if the religion that envisions a world based on the Sanatan value-system prevails in India then the foul play of those "selfish forces" will automatically be neutralised.
In his annual Vijaya Dashami address, the Sarsanghchalak said, "When comparing and contrasting the present scenario with this ideal of independent Bharat one realises, our journey from Swadheehnta (independence/ Self-rule) to Swatantrata (self-model of governance) is as yet far from complete. There are elements in the world for whom Bharat's progress and its rise to a respected position are detrimental to their vested interests."
Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat cautioned the citizens of India that efforts are underway through misrepresentation and propaganda against the nation's traditions, religion, people and history.
"A systematic effort is underway to confuse the world and even the citizens of the country, through misrepresentation and propaganda against Bharat's people, the present scenario, Bharat's history, Bharatiya culture and the socio-cultural groups that are working for the national rejuvenation of Bharat," he said.
"Fearful of their impending defeat and a total obliteration, these forces are convulsing and coalescing to execute their operations overtly and covertly. We must see through the conniving of all those groups and cautiously protect ourselves and our society from these psychological snares," he added.
The Vijaya Dashami address of the RSS Sarsanghchalak is considered the most important event for the organisation as it is during his address future plans and vision are put forth for all to follow.
Dussehra or Vijaya Dashami, according to the Hindu calendar is celebrated on the 10th day after the 9 days of Navratri festivities in the month of Ashvina. (ANI)
