Prime Minister Modi, in his Independence Day speech emphatically assured the nation on his priorities towards making India into a developed country by the time it turns 100th year of Independence.
The image of the Rani Laxmibai riding a horse with her 8-year-old son Damador Rao tied on her back with a cloth battling Britishers is sketched in everyone’s mind. Sadly, after Independence no government ever tried to seek an answer to the question …..What happened to the minor Prince of Jhansi after Laxmibai’s martyrdom?
Today India is the fifth largest economy, the largest democracy, the second largest military, and a nation of 1.3 billion strong. Hope and development are the largest religions of India.
Putting up a granite statue in place of where George V once stood (unbelievably till 1968) is a considerable step in recognition of the role of Netaji Subash Bose in the fight for freedom of India. Thank you, Modiji.
