Speakers at the national seminar titled ‘Transformation of Bharat as Vishwa Guru’ at Sri Venkateswara University here on Thursday said India would become a ‘superpower’ owing to its rich heritage, culture and family values. The event was jointly organised by Akhil Bharatiya Rashtriya Saikshik Mahasangh (ABRSM) and Voice of Tirupati Academics.
Vice-chancellor of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU-New Delhi) Santishree D. Pandit spoke about the country’s avowed stance of ‘Vasudaiva Kutumbakam’ (universal family) and explained how the country embraced those who came to India due to famines and conflicts elsewhere around the globe.
Vice-chancellor of Sri Venkateswara University K. Raja Reddy said India had all the possibilities and qualifications to become the ‘Vishwa Guru’, recalling the manner in which it had impressed other nations during the G-20 Summit by showcasing its rich past.
