Some Creating Hurdles In India's Development, But Won't Succeed: RSS Chief

Mohan Bhagwat said some elements are creating obstacles in the path of India's development and are fearful of its rise on the global stage, but they will not succeed

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat has said some elements who don't want India to grow are creating hindrance in the path of its development.

However, there is no need to be scared as a similar situation prevailed during the times of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, but it was tackled using the power of "dharma" or religion and righteousness, Mr Bhagwat said on Monday at the release of a book titled 'Tanjavarche Marathe', written by Dr Milind Paradkar.

He noted dharma does not mean just puja (rituals), but it is a broader concept that encompasses truth, compassion and 'tapascharya' (dedication).
