Ahmedabad: Remembering Maulana Azad and Acharya Kriplani on their birth anniversary, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today said that there are historical figures who have been erased from public memory just because they did not belong to a particular family.
“It is true that there are historical figures who have been erased from public memory just because they did not belong to a particular family,” Modi wrote on his blog on the occasion of Acharya Kripalani and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad's 125th birth anniversary.
Taking a dig at dynastic politics, Modi asked, “Just because they did not belong to a particular family, should we erase them from public memory or remember them less?”
The history of India is the history or the struggle of countless men and women who devoted a lifetime to the clarion call of the motherland, he further wrote on his blog.
