Kolkata : Condemning the calling of Indian revolutionaries as terrorists, RSS chief Mohan Bhagawat on Wednesday said ‘saffronisation’ was imperative to rectify the country’s ‘distorted history’.
“There are many with cunning mindsets who are trying to mislead the society by distorting history. Is calling Bhagat Singh a revolutionary instead of a terrorist, saffronisation? If stating what is fact is saffronisation, then so be it,” Bhagwat said.
“The need is not only to bring back those who have been mislead by such distortions, but also to fight those cunning minds who are serving these distortions. Our children follow whatever is there in the text books, but they figure out the distortions and realise the mistake only at a late stage,” said Bhagwat.
Joshi too called for ‘saffronisation’ to enable India to be a world beater. “Our history is replete with stories of battles that we lost, how foreign invaders defeated and plundered India. But there is hardly any mention of the wars that we have won”, Joshi said.
