How to be Vishwa Guru: India must stop squandering its strengths and help solve today’s global problems

Making Bharat a Vishwa Guru – a reformer and teacher to the entire world – is a grand endeavour. The BJP-RSS combine adopted this courageous mission more than a decade ago. But the chances are they will fail. Their quest is rooted in India’s past, not her present, and it lacks a practical approach. Instead of utilising the tremendous strengths offered the country by its glorious past, their tactics are squandering them. This is not helping the world solve its problems of the day.
