<p>RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat today said the organisation wants to make the country exploitation-free and full of self-respect and whole world to salute India.<br /><br /></p>.<p>"We want the whole world to chant 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai'. We want to make Bharat (India) rich, free from exploitation and full of self-respect. For that we will have to live that Bharat in our lives," Bhagwat said at the launch of a book on the life of late Madan Lal Agarwal, co-founder of Friends of Tribals Society.<br /><br />The Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) chief said after partition, Pakistan did not stake claim over the name 'Bharat' because it does not accept the qualities which are in Bharat.<br /><br />He said the Vedas, 'Dev Bhasha', 'Aadi Bhasha' and even the grammar of Sanskrit was created in the region that now belongs to Pakistan.<br /><br />"But they (Pakistan) took their own name and left the name 'Bharat' for us because the qualities which they don't accept are in Bharat," Bhagwat said.<br /><br />Referring to the Ramayana, whose veracity is questioned by many, Bhagwat said, "We say that it is very ancient but it is history."<br /><br />On a lighter vein, Bhagwat said he was lucky to be leading RSS. "I don't know what would have happened if there was an election. But here it is appointment. I am lucky," he said.<br /><br />Earlier this month, the RSS chief's remark that youth should be taught patriotic slogans triggered a debate after AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi refused to chant "Bharat Mata ki Jai" citing he was not obliged by the Constitution to do so.</p>
