RSS President Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday called upon Indians to make India a country of knowledgeable people. “It is our resolution that by breaking the chains of slavery, we will make our country a country of knowledgeable people, a country of people who are constantly active in the interest of the world. These people are no one else, we, the people of India, have to become like this,” he said. Talking about the colours in the national flag, Bhagwat said the saffron colour represents the nature of India, which is the symbol of eternal life, while white symbolised purity and affinity, and green was the colour of prosperity and goddess Lakshmi.
