Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said India was correcting its past mistakes by celebrating its heritage and remembering its unsung bravehearts who were lost in the pages of history, written as part of a conspiracy during the colonial era.
Addressing the 400th birth anniversary celebrations of legendary Ahom general Lachit Barphukan, PM Modi said the history of India was not just about slavery but also about its warriors, and it was important that the collective sense of history was not limited to a few decades or centuries.
"The history of India is not just about slavery. The history of India is about emerging victorious, it is about the valour of countless greats. India's history is about standing against tyranny with unprecedented valour and courage," he said.
