"Great challenge" to society as westernisation being accepted

RSS general secretary Suresh (Bhaiyyaji) Joshi on Monday said westernisation is being accepted in the name of modernisation, and this is the "great challenge" to society.

"It should be clear, what is modernisation and what is westernisation.

There is some confusion, in the name of modernisation we are accepting westernisation, this is the great challenge to our society," he told reporters here in response to a question.

He also said RSS will organise training camps, both formal and informal, to its selected swayamsevaks to use their potential for social change on subjects like family system; environmental concerns--water, tree and plastic besides social harmony.

Regarding family system, Joshi said there are issues in the system due to various reasons and it needed to be rectified.

"Our team along with social organisations will work on it...our family system is unique in the world, we will try to bring in awareness,family should be united.

United family does not mean they should stay under one terrace. Today's requirements are varied, our insistence is not stay under one roof, but stay together by holding responsibility for each other."
