Vivekananda and India’s policy

Few personalities have influenced people in public life in today’s India as much as Vivekananda. These people occupy important positions in public life today and are working to bring to life Vivekananda’s dream for India.

 Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on the 125th anniversary of Swami Vivekananda’s Chicago speech, spoke about his contribution in telling the world about India’s culture and values. On 11th September 1893, Swami Vivekananda delivered his first speech in the Parliament of the World’s Religions in Chicago.

Makrand Paranjape, the Director of Indian Institute of Advanced Study has written a fine book on Swami Vivekananda’s teaches titled Swami Vivekananda : Hinduism and India’s road to modernity, in today’s edition of Policy & Politics, we are carrying edited excerpts from Chapter 7 , Arise, Awake: Education and “Man-making” among the Colonized. I am sure you will find it interesting.
