          unsung heroes





          India's history is not limited to those
          who enslaved the country or wrote
          history from a slave perspective.
          The history of India is also written
          in folk tales passed down through
          generations by the common people
          of India. However, many such                                          STATUE
          heroes who dedicated their lives to
          protecting India and Indianness were                                 OF UNITY
                                                                         The Statue of Unity has
          not given the recognition they deserved                     been built in Kevadiya, Gujarat
          for a long time. After 2014, the country's                  as a splendid tribute to Sardar

          did not receive the recognition it deserved. To
          correct this historical error, the central government
          has developed places associated with Babasaheb's
          life in the form of 'Panchteerth.' In honour of
          Babasaheb, November 26th was designated as
          Constitution Day.                                   Today's India is rectifying the injustice done

          On the 75th anniversary of the Azad Hind
          government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi                           from mistakes
          hoisted the tricolour at the Red Fort. The long-          -Narendra Modi, Prime Minister
          standing demand was met when the majority
          of Netaji-related files were removed from the
          confidential list. The statue of Netaji is being
          erected at India Gate.

          revived.
