SIVASAGAR, April 22: Addressing senior citizens and academicians in Sivasagar Girls’ College over a Chintan Boithak recently RSS Asom Prant Prasar Pramukh and former JNU professor Sunil Mahanty said that disruptive and reactionary forces have been trying to destroy Sanatan culture since about tenth century and these are the Evangelical missionaries, radical Islam, radical Marxism and the Western Market Culture.
All these four elements have distorted the whole narrative of defining our country, our culture and our nationhood, he said. Elaborating on the subject, Mohanty said that Bharatiya culture spread to all parts of SouthEast Asia and during his stay in Indonesia, he observed that Ramayan stories were still enacted by the Muslim artists. He said that only after the Mughal and British aggression, the Indian people started fighting amongst themselves over caste, creed and language and before that there was complete harmony among all sections for over 5 thousand years.
