Imbibe “Swadeshi” spirit to make Bharat a global leader: RSS

Panipat (Haryana), Mar 14: Making a fervent appeal to all citizens to imbibe Swadeshi spirit and to utilize the present opportunity to make collective efforts so that Bharat can attain global leadership, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) called on them to be vigilant against those forces opposing the comprehensive idea of Hindutva within and outside the country and defeat their designs of conspiracy for creating mutual distrust in our society, systematic alienation and anarchy and instigating selfish interests and divisiveness.

In a resolution passed at the Akhip Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS) currently underway at Sewa Sadhna evam Gram Vikas Kendra, Pattikalyana – Panipat (Haryana) the RSS appealed to the citizens to imbibe the “Swadeshi” spirit to make Bharat a world leader.

The resolution said, “in the process of making well organized, glorious and prosperous nation, we need to overcome the challenges of the fulfillment of basic needs of all sections of society, opportunities for holistic development and building new models based on Bharatiya concept of modernity through judicious use of technology and eco-friendly development.

“For rebuilding the nation, we need to make special efforts for achieving the objectives such as strengthening the family institution; creating a fraternity-based harmonious society, and developing entrepreneurship with a ‘Swadeshi’ spirit. The entire society, especially the youth, will have to make concerted efforts in this regard.

“As renunciation and sacrifice were essential for freedom from the foreign rule during the period of the freedom struggle; in the present times, we need to establish a social life free from the colonial mindset and committed to civic duties for the realization of the abovementioned objectives. In this perspective, the call of ‘Panch Pran’ (five resolves) given by the Prime Minister on Independence Day is significant”, the RSS resolution said.

The RSS Resolution further noted that the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS) is of the considered opinion that the prolonged journey of Bharat's “Swa” to realize the noble objective of global wellbeing has always been a source of inspiration for all of us. During the period of foreign invasions and struggle, Bharat’s societal life got disturbed, and social, economic, cultural, and religious systems were severely mutilated. In this period, under the stewardship of revered saints and great personalities, the entire society preserved its “Swa” while being in a continuous struggle.

The inspiration for this struggle was based on the “Swa – trayi” (Trio) of ‘Swadharma, Swadeshi, and Swaraj’ in which the entire society participated. On the auspicious occasion of Amrit Mahotsav of Independence, the whole nation gratefully acknowledged the public leaders, freedom fighters, and seers who contributed to this resistance.

The ABPS resolution underscored the fact that while many countries have respect and goodwill for Bharat, some forces in the world are not accepting this Bharatiya resurgence based on its ‘Swa’. These forces opposing Hindutva thought within and outside the country are devising new conspiracies for creating mutual distrust in society, systemic alienation, and anarchy by instigating selfish interests and divisiveness. While being vigilant towards all these, we also need to defeat their designs.

This ‘Amritkaal’ is offering us an opportunity to make collective efforts so that Bharat attains global leadership. The ABPS calls upon the entire society including enlightened people to participate, with full strength, in this endeavor of evolving contemporary systems in all the fields of social life including educational, economic, social, democratic, and judicial institutions in the light of Bharatiya thought process, so that Bharat acquires its rightful place on the global stage as a strong, prosperous nation committed to universal wellbeing.
