The Story in Brief
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said on Independence Day that India must become happy, prosperous and secure to make a meaningful contribution to the world and become a “Vishwaguru”. Speaking after hoisting the national flag at the RSS headquarters in Nagpur, he said many people and forces were working against this goal and creating obstacles.
Bhagwat said Indians must preserve the freedom won through nearly 90 years of sacrifice, tracing the struggle to 1857. He linked the national flag’s colours and Ashoka Chakra to sacrifice, knowledge, discipline, prosperity and unity. He urged people to apply these values in their lives while respecting differences in opinion.
The Indian Opinion
The loudest reading will cast Bhagwat’s Vishwaguru appeal either as empty nationalism or proof of a grand national mission. Both are too easy. His address also stressed security, prosperity, discipline and responsibility, but offered no clear measure of progress. The useful test is concrete: whether India becomes safer, more prosperous and a more meaningful contributor to the world, judged by outcomes rather than slogans.
