PM Modi: India’s cultural heritage gaining global recognition
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Wednesday, 14 October that India's cultural heritage is receiving growing recognition internationally. In a written message to the inaugural session of the ‘Brihattar Bharat’ conference at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi, he noted that efforts to bring back antiquities from abroad have gained ‘renewed momentum’ and that the government is preserving manuscript heritage through the Gyan Bharatam initiative.
Union Culture Secretary Vivek Aggarwal read out the message. Union Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat was also present. The three-day conference, hosted by the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts, marks the centenary of the Greater India Society, founded in Calcutta on 14 October 1926 with Rabindranath Tagore as spiritual guide. It brings together delegates and scholars to discuss India's historical and contemporary cultural connections. Modi cited ancient Nalanda University as a centre that strengthened knowledge exchange with Asia.
Indian Opinion Analysis
PM Modi’s message, carried uniformly in all five sources, framed India’s cultural heritage as receiving growing international recognition and cited the Gyan Bharatam initiative and the repatriation of antiquities. News On Air added the specific reference to Nalanda as a historical knowledge hub, a point the other four sources carried only in the full text from The Economic Times. The Economic Times itself included the most detailed version, quoting Modi on UNESCO World Heritage sites and Angkor Wat, and gave Culture Minister Shekhawat’s remark that cultural ties serve as a ‘robust bridge’. The other three sources, The Hindu, ThePrint and Greater Kashmir, carried the PTI wire copy verbatim, with no additional framing. The conference runs till 16 October.
