RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat urges youth to drive India's future
The leader of a big group in India called the RSS gave a speech on Saturday for India's 80th Independence Day.
He spoke to the young people of India at a park in the city of Nagpur.
He told them to work hard, be brave, and try starting their own businesses.
He said India has many young people, and if they are guided well, India can become a great leader of the world.
He used a special word, 'Vishwaguru,' which means a guiding force or world teacher.
He also said India should not try to copy other countries like the United States or China, and should grow in its own way.
He explained that having a job is not the only kind of work, and that manual work deserves respect.
He said in a democracy people can disagree and protest, but they must not break the country's laws or Constitution.
He talked about the Indian flag, saying its colors stand for courage, peace, and prosperity, and comparing its wheel to India's unity in diversity.
At the end, he asked everyone to work together so India can become strong and proud, and so its flag can shine for the whole world.
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat called India's youth a 'demographic dividend' that could make India a 'Vishwaguru' (a guiding force for the world) if harnessed properly.
Speaking on India's 80th Independence Day at Kasturchand Park in Nagpur, he urged young people to embrace entrepreneurship, hard work and courage.
Bhagwat said India should not mechanically compare itself with the United States, China, Australia or New Zealand, and must shape its own development model.
He stressed that employment means more than having a job, and called for dignity for manual work and entrepreneurship.
He said opposition, protests and public movements are legitimate parts of democracy, but must be conducted while keeping the Constitution and the country's larger interests in mind.

Quotes
Mohandas Bhagwat
Chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)
“"The youth are a demographic dividend. We will benefit greatly if they are handled properly. If we make proper use of it, then country will become a ‘Vishwaguru’. If we fail to do so, it will become a heavy burden later because this young generation will become the older generation after 30 years."”

“India should not compare itself mechanically with countries such as the United States, China, Australia or New Zealand; the country’s development model must be shaped by its own population, geography, culture and aspirations.”
