PM Modi at Badrinath: Colonial mindset led to dilapidated condition of ancient temples

India TV News  

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday accused previous governments of leaving centres of faith across the country in a state of neglect and said these places are now being restored to their lost glory. Citing examples of the Kashi Vishwanath temple, Ujjain and Ayodhya, where major reconstruction works have been carried out in recent years, Modi attributed the "years of neglect" to a "slave mentality". "Slave mentality grips the minds of some people so strongly that they react even to development as if it is a crime," he said, addressing a gathering in Uttarakhand's Mana village on the India-China border after laying foundation stones of two ropeway projects to Kedarnath and Hemkund Sahib. Addressing the gathering in Mana near Badrinath, Modi said neglect of the centres of faith for decades by previous governments reflected a disregard for crores of people who believe in them and the country's culture which is thousands of years old.
