Rajya Sabha deputy chairman Harivansh

NEW DELHI: Reflecting on India’s wealthy heritage, Rajya Sabha deputy chairman Harivansh on Friday stated that even after India emerged from the shadows of colonial rule after Independence, it was solely “post-2014 that India has begun to talk about its culture and historic heritage with pleasure, and this credit score goes to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”
He was talking on the launch of a compilation of PM Modi’s speeches and ideas on culture, titled ‘Sanskriti ka Panchva Adhyay’, launched on the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA) on ‘World Heritage Day‘ noticed every year on April 18.
After releasing the e-book, Acharya Mahamandaleshwar Swami Avdheshanand Giri, the top of Juna Akhara, stated “Since Narendra Modi became PM in 2014, a definite change has occurred. People now discuss cultural subjects with greater depth and pride.”
Citing an instance, he stated, “In 2008, an Indian guru residing in Europe made great efforts to institute International Yoga Day and sought help from Indian govt. In 2016, Modi made it a reality. Today, 21st June is celebrated worldwide as International Yoga Day-a proof to his commitment to India’s cultural heritage.”
