KOLKATA: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said several important aspects of the country’s history were overlooked by historians who wrote about it after Independence without delving deeply into the subject.
One of the key aspects of nation-building is to preserve the country’s heritage, he said.
“We want to show before the world our country’s heritage, wan to make India a hub of heritage tourism. Five iconic museums of the country will be developed to international standard, starting with the Indian Museum in Kolkata,” the Prime Minister said.
Modi dedicated to the nation four refurbished heritage buildings of the city – the Old Currency Building, the Belvedere House, the Metcalfe House and the Victoria Memorial Hall.
“It is unfortunate that during the British rule and even after independence, the history that was written overlooked several important chapters,” he said. (AGENCIES)
