India must chart own path to shield itself from problems: RSS

India must do whatever is necessary to get out of the situation that has emerged but it should start charting its own path following the ‘sanatan’ view of development and progress to shield itself from such problems in the future, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said on Sunday in the backdrop of US decisions on tariffs and immigration.

Addressing a book launch event in Delhi, Bhagwat said the problem that India and other countries are facing today is the outcome of the system that the world has been following for the last 2000 years based on a fragmented vision of development and happiness.

“We can't turn our backs on the situation. We must do whatever is necessary to get out of it well. But we can’t proceed blindly,” he said.

“So we need to chart our own path. We will find a way out... But inevitably, we will have to face all these things at some or other point in future again. Because in this fragmented vision, there is an 'I’ and the rest of the world, or ‘we’ and ‘them’, he added.
