Pune: History should be used to build a better society and nation and not to find fault, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said during a function at the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute in Pune. No one is benefited from controversy. He said "It is our misfortune that we used history to find fault. We have failed to use history to build a better future, society and country.''

At the same time, he said that India's culture and history are very rich. It is better to use it in such a way that a nation can be built. Gadkari said that there is a similarity in the philosophy of Lord Mahavira, Lord Buddha, Ramayana and Bhagavad Gita, more or less a similar philosophy was put forward by Swami Vivekananda at the Chicago Dharma Sammelan. Gadkari said that the culture of India is great and its history and heritage are related to life values.  

On Thursday, Nitin Gadkari told an anecdote that he had once told industrialist Ratan Tata that the RSS does not discriminate on the basis of religion. He said that in the wake of the inauguration of a hospital in Aurangabad, an RSS functionary had said that the hospital should be inaugurated by Ratan Tata.
