Ram Prasad Bismil, Ashfaqulla Khan, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev, Mangal Pandey, and Tatya Tope are some individuals who deserve praise for their contributions to the nation. According to Modi, such a large number of revolutionaries upended the entire premise of British rule.

He asserted that the people of India are proud of the strength of women like Rani Laxmibai, Jhalkari Bai, Rani Chennamma, and Begum Hazrat Mahal. Indian women, in Modi’s opinion, stand for hardship and sacrifice.

“India has been home to great thinkers like Vivekananda, Aurobindo and Rabindranath Tagore,” he said.
