“Communism, Socialism and Capitalism have all failed. The only model for socio-economic progress which can show the way is Antyodaya,” said Union Minister for Surface Transport and Shipping Shri Nitin Gadkari while releasing a book Vishwa Ka Advitiya Sanghatan Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. The book, published by Lotus Publications in four languages, has been written by Shri Ramesh Mehta. Uttar Pradesh Governor Shri Ram Naik, Essel Group Chairman Dr Subhash Chandra, RSS Konkan Prant Sanghachalak Shri Satish Mod and Anirudhha Upasana Kendra Dean Shri Samirsinh Dattopadhye were also present. Spiritual Guru Anirudhha Bapu also blessed the event. A message sent by RSS Sarkaryavah Shri Bhayyaji Joshi was read out by Shri Satish Mod.
Stating that RSS ideology has the capacity to provide socio-economic thought for not only nation-building but for global economy also, Shri Nitin Gadkari said building the men of character results in a developed society, which can lead to a developed nation. He said despite all misconceptions and criticism by its detractors, the RSS is growing and that its ideology would make India a prosperous nation.
Shri Ram Naik said Shri Ramesh Mehta has penned the journey of RSS till 1996 and that he should take up the task of completing it by writing about the history between 1996 and 2017 too, which has witnessed India go from coalition governments to one with an absolute majority.
Dr Subhash Chandra said he has been an RSS swayamsevak right from the age of 12 years. He said despite the fact that many unsavoury things were told about the RSS in the last 90 years, the organisation has had a culture of not going for clarification.
