India need not copy other countries, Says RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ India’s pride is in its traditional knowledge and it need not copy other countries, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat said. Mr Bhagwat was speaking at the launch of the book, “Bharat Vaibhav”, by the National Book Trust (NBT).

“India’s pride is its traditional knowledge. India was born to share its knowledge tradition with the whole world… The ocean of information about India should be translated into all Indian languages and should be widely publicised.

He said he is often asked why we cannot do things in the way China or the US or Russia do. “I would say why do we have to copy any other country… we should do things our own way,” he said in his address.

He claimed that the earlier education policy did not talk enough about “the great deeds of our own people” and noted that the new national education policy will give importance to Indian languages.
