NEW DELHI: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has forgiven its critics and opponents many times, but it has never forgiven the enemies and adversaries of the nation, said Prof Yogesh Singh, Vice-Chancellor of Delhi University at the inaugural session of the two-day Samagra Sangh Sahitya Paricharcha organised by Indraprastha Sahitya Bharati at PGDAV College on the occasion of the centenary year of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
He said that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is not merely a group of individuals; it is an idea. When one connects with an idea, the feeling of despair never arises. The Sangh works with the goal of nation-building through character-building.
Dr. Balwant Jani, Chief Guest of the event and former Vice-Chancellor of Central University, Sagar, said that in the present times, with discussions on the National Education Policy and the Indian knowledge tradition gaining momentum, Sangh literature is receiving greater recognition.
As a Special Guest, Suruchi Prakashan President, Rajiv Tuli said that the Sangh has been shaped by such people who neither stopped, nor broke, nor bowed, nor sold themselves. He added that Suruchi Prakashan has been performing the significant task of publishing national literature.
