We all must free the country from the mentality of slavery: Modi

  Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to the people to completely free the country from the mentality of slavery in the next 10 years and said that today every sector is abandoning colonial thinking and is proudly setting goals for new achievements.

He said, “Macaulay’s policy, which sowed the seeds of mental slavery in India, will complete 200 years in 2035. This means that there are 10 years left. Therefore, in these 10 years, we should all come together to free our country from the mentality of slavery.”

He said, “Linking the development of the country to the faith of its people, their identity... This was a symbol of the mentality of colonialism.”

Modi said that an attempt was made to prove that the reason for India’s slow development was Hindu culture.

He said, “Today’s intellectuals who keep looking for communalism in everything, did not see communalism in the use of the term Hindu growth rate. The term was made a part of books and research papers during his time.”

Emphasizing that India is a model of high growth and low inflation, he said that the country’s 8.2 per cent growth in the second quarter of this financial year shows that it is becoming the growth engine of the global economy.

Modi said that when the world is full of uncertainties, India is being seen in a different league. He said that the changes taking place in India are not just about possibilities but a saga of changing thinking and direction.

Modi stressed that India’s achievements are not ordinary, they are not just about numbers but about the fundamental change brought about in the last decade.
