Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said India has enhanced its standing in the eyes of the world, which has now come to regard it as ‘Vishwamitra’ (a friend of the world).
“An India, which is making rapid strides towards becoming a developed country, sees itself as a friend of the world. From the way we stood by distressed economies across the world at the time of the global coronavirus pandemic, I don’t need to tell you that the world has also come to regard us as ‘Vishwamitra’ (a friend of the world). The whole world is calling us their friend and you all are its capable and empowered cultural representatives,” PM Modi said while addressing a rally in the poll-bound Telangana’s Hyderabad.
The PM further said the country is poised to enter a new chapter of renaissance in terms of its global economic, strategic, and cultural heft and progress across spheres.
“You too are contributing towards building a prosperous and developed India by carrying forward our prosperous heritage and cultural identities and values. Prosperity is not only derived from wealth but also from upholding and displaying one’s cultural identity. Today, our country is poised to enter an age of renaissance in terms of our global economic, strategic, and cultural influences,” the PM said.
He added that to build a developed India, the country needs to adopt four ‘Amrit Stambh’ (four pillars) – women power, youth power, manpower, and the power of enterprise. “The time has come for us to take our heritage to unprecedented heights. In this effort, Sri Ram Chandra Mission and its followers will play a huge role. For building a developed India, we need to focus on 4 pillars. I call them ‘Amrit Stambh’. These are women power, youth power, manpower, and power of enterprise,” Modi said.
