Earlier, TMC had claimed that Yogi Adityanath wrongly attributed iconic slogan "You give me blood, I promise freedom" to Swami Vivekananda.
Regarding the education of the masses, the great Indian philosopher Swami Vivekananda once said, “A nation is advanced in proportion as education and intelligence spread among the masses.”
“ The world is in the chains of superstition,” said Swami Vivekananda in 1896. He had also said then, “Religions of the world have become lifeless mockeries.”
New Alipore College observed the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda and National Youth Day in a befitting manner on 10 January.
The intellectual landscape of Bengal has historically been a dialogue between the "Red Flag" and the "Ochre Robe," a dialectic between Karl Marx’s historical materialism and Swami Vivekananda’s Vedantic humanism.

Bengal has long been a land of dualities, a unique soil that nurtured the spiritual fire of Swami Vivekananda and, decades later, became a stronghold for the revolutionary zeal of Karl Marx. For much of the 20th century, the intellectual history of this region oscillated between these two poles: the ochre robe and the red flag.

Moments of crisis and transformation have often brought forth voices of profound wisdom that guide humanity toward unity, tolerance, and peace.
