Addressing a book release function in Indore, Bhagwat said the concept of ‘we are one’ was given to Indians by their ancestors, and these values prevented any global strife when India was leading the world.

“There had been no conflict in the world for 3000 years. Technological progress was very high, but the environment did not deteriorate. Human life was happy and cultured," he said, citing the works of author William Dalrymple.

Bhagwat also highlighted that when India was leading the world, it did not conquer any country or suppress anyone’s trade. “We did not change anyone; we did not convert anyone. Wherever we went, we gave civilisation, knowledge, we learnt scriptures and improved life. Every nation had its own identity, everything was there, but there was good communication among them. That is not there today," he said.

India Moving Ahead, Says RSS Chief

Referring to former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Bhagwat suggested that India proved him wrong by remaining united after British rule ended. “Churchill once said that after independence (from British rule), you (India) will not be able to survive and will be divided, but this did not happen. Now England itself is coming to the stage of division, but we will not be divided.."

The RSS chief also asserted that India is moving forward on the path of development by proving everyone’s predictions wrong. He also pointed out that while the world runs on faith and belief, India is the land of faith with men of action and logic.

“The faith that we have here is a solid faith. It is not just an imaginary faith that you have heard from somewhere. It is faith based on direct perception, and that direct perception can be received by anyone who makes efforts," he added.
