Mumbai, April 9

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday said misconceptions and distorted information were being spread about India to slow down its progress towards becoming a 'vishwaguru'.

Speaking at a function in Mumbai, Bhagwat said such misconceptions were spread about the country post 1857 (after the First War of Independence) but “such elements were given a befitting reply by Swami Vivekanand”.

“Misconceptions are being spread to slow down our progress as nobody in the world can argue with us on the basis of logic,” he said.

"We are going to be a 'vishwaguru' in the next 20-30 years. For that, we need to prepare at least two generations who will experience the change," Bhagwat said. “India has achieved a lot over the years but distorted information is being spread globally to counter us,” he said.

"Post 1857, some misconceptions were spread against us. It was Swami Vivekanand who gave a befitting reply to those who looked down upon us,” he said.
