At the RSS Camp

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

I, along with a contingent of Foreign friends of the RSS, had the

honor of being present at this historic event. There were over 60,000

participants in an impressive display of discipline and culture. The

event was begun with invocations to Sri Ramachandra. It was

an auspicious and powerful display of living Vedic culture.

Pakistan should be taught a lesson, says Sudarshan RSS calls for

developing long range missiles DH

News Service BANGALORE, Jan 27 RSS (Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangha) chief K

S Sudarshan today

called for strengthening and modernising the country's armed forces

to successfully tackle the

security threat in the region. "There are no permanent enemies, but

permanent interests in the region.

If India has to protect its interests and protect itself, it has to

strengthen and modernise its

weaponry," Mr Sudarshan said while delivering the valedictory address

at the three-day

"Samarasatha Sangama" of the RSS held on the outskirts of the city.

Excessive stress to

non-violence has come in the way of strengthening the armed forces,

he said and added that the

country had lost some of the wars in the beginning due to lack of

modern weapons. Terming

"non-violence" as a negative concept, he said the non-violence

principle would be appropriate only

when the country achieves total strength. Terming Pakistan,

Bangladesh and China as India's

enemies in the region, he said war may take place any time as there

was a massing of troops on both

sides of the Indo-Pak border. "Pakistan has to be taught a lesson,"

but it is left to the prime minister

to decide about it depending upon the international developments, he

said. Meanwhile, he also stated

that people of both India and Pakistan were for peace. But the

Pakistan rulers were not responding

to peace initiatives of their Indian counterparts, he said while

pointing out that Pakistan was involved

in Kargil intrusion when India extended an olive branch with the

Lahore bus trip. Expressing

confidence that India can take on Pakistan without difficulty, he

said China had strengthened its

security. That is why no country was messing around with it. India

should also strengthen its security,

he said and stressed the need for developing missiles with a long

range of 10,000 to 12,000 km to

reach interior areas of China in case of need. Mr Sudarshan also

regretted that the country had

adopted the Western, model of education, political system and economy

instead of having its own to

suit its needs. "We are still continuing the political and education

system of British which does not

help tackle our problems", he said. Defending the constitutional

review exercise, he said even Dr B R

Ambedkar, who is the main architect of the Constitution, had made it

clear that it is not a rigid

document which cannot be changed. Describing India as the soul of the

world, he claimed RSS has

been doing the work of awakening this soul from deep slumber.

Speaking on the occasion,

Technocrat Vijay Bhatkar stressed the need for integration of Indian

ancient knowledge system in the

education system for the development of the country. Referring to the

controversy over Human

Resources Minister Murli Manohar Joshi's statement that astrology

should be introduced as an

academic subject, he said not only astrology but all traditional

knowledge including Vedic sciences

and darshanas should be introduced in education system.
