Before being proud of the heritage, we have to understand what is the heritage of India after all? Here we are not talking about 100-200 years of history. The topic is important and the purpose of this resolution of Prime Minister Modi is to understand the point which provides us the energy to leap towards the future as well as inspires us to stay connected to our history or should we say, our roots. Indian heritage dates back many centuries.
It is vast, authentic, and still alive with us today. We should not forget that India gave the knowledge of zero to the world. Talking about medicine, all the codes of sage Sushruta and Charak are the contribution of India. On the front of study and teaching, Takshashila and Nalanda were the centers of knowledge established in India itself. There are many such examples available before us which make us feel proud of Indian heritage.
Today, when India is moving towards becoming a superpower, we will definitely have to pay special attention to cherish and preserve our heritage, due to which we have reached this position today. It is true that the period of hundreds of years of slavery had given many deep wounds to the conscience of India and the feelings of Indians, despite this, the non-diminishment of our will, passion and enthusiasm is the result of the same legacy, on the basis of which India’s personality remains strong till today. India is now moving towards the future with new consciousness, new enthusiasm and new faith while preserving its past.
