Karnal (Haryana): Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat accused the British rulers of ruining India’s education system and said that “70 per cent” of the country’s population was literate before British rule. Bhagwat addressed a gathering here on Sunday after inaugurating a multi-speciality hospital at the Atma Manohar Jain Aradhana Mandir complex. He said, ‘…before British rulers ruled this country, 70 per cent of our population was literate, educated and on the basis of that education everyone used to find ways to earn their livelihood and unemployment was almost negligible.’

The Sangh chief said, ‘At that time, according to the continuing education system in England, their literacy rate was around 17 per cent. After the British came, they left our education model here, but implemented it in their country…’ He said that before the British started ruling in India, the education system here not only made people self-reliant And made it employable, but the British rulers ruined that system.

The RSS chief also stressed the importance of health and education for all in society and underlined that education and health should be affordable. He claimed that earlier people used to take both these fields (education and health) as a sense of duty, but in the present times, they have become professions. Bhagwat also appreciated the work done by Atmanohar Muni Ashram.
