Asserting that India’s culture is its true strength, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat said that all religions teach us to adopt the path of truth and non-violence.

Speaking at a Jain event on Sunday, Mr Bhagwat also said that India can show the way forward to the world and that ancient teachings of saints should be first practicised in one’s home and later preached to the world.

“There have been wicked people with ill intentions at all times. They will never cease to exist. Similarly, there have been good people at all times as well. One should not get scared to do something good but become fearless and find solutions to problems,” Mr Bhagwat said.

Speaking further on the country’s cultural heritage, the RSS chief said, “To become fearless one does not only need physical strength, but the strength of humility. The real strength of India is its culture. All religions in our country teach us to adopt truth and non-violence,” he added.

Mr Bhagwat also said that in order to make the nation “truly great”, the youth of India should develop themselves. “India can show the way forward to the world. We have to develop the youth of the nation to make our country truly great. The youth need to be taught lessons in ethics. For this, the teachings of our great saints should first be inculcated in one’s own life and homes before preaching it to others,” he said.
