According to ANI, Bhagwat further said, "Society functions on the basis of qualities and a nation becomes great on the basis of the qualities of society... You will also find good leaders in those countries that are not in good condition. It means that all these factors are subsidiary. The main thing is quality and solidarity in society."
Speaking of the Bhonsle family, the former royal family of Nagpur, he said it was connected with the RSS from the time of the Sangh's founder K B Hedgewar, as per the PTI report.
"While Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj founded `Swarajya' (sovereign state) and southern India was freed of atrocities during his time, East and North India were freed from atrocities under the rule of the Nagpur Bhonsle family," he was quoted as saying by PTI.
