During the THRIVE 2026 Summit at Stanford University, Dattatreya Hosabale (General Secretary of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) asserted that ancient Indian knowledge, exemplified by the Patanjali Yogasutra, represents a significant scientific tradition that has been forgotten due to centuries of invasions and foreign rule. He praised the Modi government's efforts to revive this legacy through reforms in the education system, emphasizing the importance of integrating Indic knowledge with modern scientific inquiry. Hosabale highlighted that ancient texts like the Upanishads illustrate a culture of 'cosmic enquiry' and showcased historical achievements in areas such as agrarian practices, town planning, and civil engineering. He also aimed to reconcile the perceived divide between science and spirituality, suggesting that individuals can engage in both realms. Moreover, he cautioned against technological advancements that could lead to economic disparities and ethical dilemmas. Hosabale's remarks are part of a broader outreach by the RSS during its centenary celebrations, as he engages with global leaders on innovation and governance.
