Mr. Mohan Bhagwat further said, โOne organization, one party, one leader can not bring about change. They help bring it. Change takes place when the common man stands up for it.โ
Nagpur: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat on Tuesday said one leader, organization, or party can not bring about change.
This thought was at the base of Sanghโs(RSS) ideology, he said, adding that the country got independence only when the common people hit the street.
Mohan Bhagwat was addressing a centenary program of the Vidarbha Sahitya Sangh, a Marathi literary body, in Nagpur.
โOne thing at the base of Sanghโs ideology is that a single leader is not supposed to tackle all the challenges before this country. He can not even do that. Howsoever big the leader may be,โ the RSS chief added.
Mr. Mohan Bhagwat further said, โOne organization, one party, one leader can not bring about change. They help bring it. Change takes place when the common man stands up for it.โ
โIndiaโs freedom struggle began way back in 1857, but it succeeded only when there was a massive awareness and โthe common man took to the street,โ Mr. Bhagwat said.
Acknowledging the contribution of Shubash Chandra Bose, Mr. Bhagwat said, โThe revolutionaries too contributed to the freedom struggle and Subhas Chandra Bose created a huge challenge before the British, but the main thing was that people acquired courageโ, he said.
โNot everyone went to jail, some people stayed away, but there was a widespread feeling that the country must become independent,โ Mr. Bhagwat said.
โThe RSS wants the Hindu society to become capable of fulfilling its responsibility, he said, adding that โleaders do not make societyโ but society creates leaders, he added.
Mr. Bhagwat further said, โAll things take place through a change in society and the RSS is organizing society.โ
โPeople should not give the contract to improve the countryโs condition to others but should take up the responsibility themselves, he added.
โDonโt give this contract to even the Sangh. Do your job yourselfโฆ.people will have to learn this,โ Mr. Bhagwat added.
