Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat asserted that good countries in the world have all kinds of ideologies and opined that one person or one ideology does not make or break a country.
While speaking at an awards function organised by the Rajratna Puraskar Samiti in Nagpur, he said, “Society functions on the basis of qualities and a nation becomes great on the basis of the qualities of society. Any one person, one group, or one ideology does not make or break a country.”
“Good countries in the world have all kinds of ideologies,” he added.
The RSS chief further opined, “You will also find good leaders in those countries that are not in good condition. It means that all these factors are subsidiary. The main thing is quality and solidarity in society.”
Shifting focus to the Bhonsle family, the former royal family of Nagpur, he said it was connected with the RSS from the time of the Sangh’s founder KB Hedgewar.
While Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj founded `Swarajya’ (sovereign state) and southern India was freed of atrocities during his time, East and North India were freed from atrocities under the rule of the Nagpur Bhonsle family, he said.
