Swami ji had said… ‘Not cloths but character makes a gentleman’: Brajesh Pathak

Lucknow: Jan 12 (UNI) Invoking Swami Vivekananda’s iconic words from his historic Chicago address, “In your country, a tailor makes a gentleman; in ours, character does”, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak said while calling upon the youth to recognize their inner strength, values, and potential.
Addressing the National Youth Day program on Monday, the deputy Chief minister spoke in depth about the life and philosophy of Swami Vivekananda, urging young people to draw inspiration from his thoughts and ideals. He said Swami Vivekananda not only introduced the world to India’s rich cultural heritage but also awakened it to India’s true spiritual and intellectual power.
Pathak urged the youth to unite and contribute actively to nation-building under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that Swami Vivekananda’s life remains a guiding force for a confident and self-reliant India. Recalling the circumstances of the late 19th century, Pathak said that Swami Vivekananda emerged at a time when India was under colonial rule and freedom was severely restricted.
