Firstpost  

New India can be a new light for humanity, not just at political or economic levels, but also at a civilisational level extending to a universal vision India is not only a great nation today as the world’s largest democracy encompassing one-sixth of humanity, it is also a diverse and vibrant culture and a profound civilisation that has endured since the dawn of history spreading the deepest wisdom to the world. Modi, New India and Civilisational Identity Today, in 2022, 75 years after Independence, a New India is arising under Prime Minister Modi, a dynamic and expansive India that combines a modern nation state at political and economic levels, besides honouring the country, culture and the civilisation of eternal Bharat. Modi has honoured and helped renew these heritage sites of India, notably Ayodhya, Kedarnath, Kashi Vishwanath and the many pilgrim circuits, as well as new monuments that reflect India’s enduring civilisation. Modi has once more honoured India’s Kshatriya dharma tradition of great kings and warriors, extending from historical figures like Rana Pratap and Chhatrapati Shivaji to the many freedom fighters of the Independence movement.
