PM Modi's push to integrate Bharat by reimagining unity through diversity | OPINION
India Today“India is a young nation but the world’s oldest civilization. Those ancient bonds of unity need to be revived in the present day to strengthen our national integration.” Contrast this beautiful thought of PM Modi with Rahul Gandhi’s churlish insistence of India being a ‘union of states’ and that too, on inappropriate global forums. It is to celebrate this often unacknowledged age-old unity between different regions of our country and to further strengthen the concept of Ek Bharat Shresth Bharat that PM Modi came up with the idea of Kashi Tamil Sangamam. An entire month in November -December 2022 witnessed cultural exchanges between the two regions emphasising upon a civilizational and spiritual connect built upon the core values of Sanatan philosophy. His path-breaking initiatives like The Madhavpur Mela or Kashi Tamil Sangam show Bharat’s strength is in celebrating our plurality & cherishing our collective culture.
