Theatre that brings India’s history, courage and spirit of unity to life! ✨

At the Ekta Diwas celebrations in Kevadiya, Gujarat, the National School of Drama (@nsd_india) Repertory Company presents two powerful theatrical productions, ‘Naxal Mukt Bharat’ and ‘Anandmath’, celebrating the nation’s journey towards peace, progress and collective pride.

Featuring approximately 2,000 artists, spectacular tableaux and immersive multimedia, Naxal Mukt Bharat portrays the transformation of Naxal-affected regions through the courage of security forces, the resilience of communities and the promise of development.

Inspired by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay’s celebrated novel, Anandmath brings alive the ideals of patriotism, sacrifice and devotion to the motherland through compelling storytelling, music and dramatic expression.

These productions celebrate India’s cultural legacy and reaffirm the enduring spirit of national unity.

यशस्वी प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi जी के नेतृत्व में केंद्र सरकार भारत की समृद्ध सांस्कृतिक विरासत के संरक्षण, संवर्धन और उसे भावी पीढ़ियों तक पहुंचाने के लिए प्रतिबद्ध है।

हमारा दृष्टिकोण है कि विरासत का संरक्षण और विकास साथ-साथ आगे बढ़ें तथा ऐतिहासिक स्थलों को उनकी मूल पहचान सुरक्षित रखते हुए ऐसे पर्यटन स्थलों के रूप में विकसित किया जाए, जिनसे स्थानीय समुदायों को भी नए अवसर मिलें।

​आज नई दिल्ली स्थित प्रधानमंत्री संग्रहालय एवं पुस्तकालय सभागार में आयोजित THE WEEK Heritage Awards 2026 को संबोधित किया।

विरासत संरक्षण से जुड़े प्रयासों को सम्मानित करने की इस पहल के लिए THE WEEK और मलयाला मनोरमा समूह को बहुत-बहुत बधाई!

On the auspicious occasion of Abhidhamma Day, I am honoured to share this special message from Ven. Borelle Seeladassana of the Sihanada International Meditation Community, Sri Lanka, expressing appreciation for Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi Ji’s leadership and the Government of India’s efforts to preserve and promote Buddhism across the world.

The message highlights India’s initiatives in strengthening the global Buddhist community through spiritual diplomacy, the sharing of sacred relics, and the preservation and promotion of our rich Buddhist heritage. It also celebrates the deep civilisational and spiritual bonds between India and Sri Lanka, united by the timeless wisdom of Buddha Dhamma.

My heartfelt gratitude to PM Shri @narendramodi ji for his visionary leadership and his guiding mantra of “Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas” which inspires India’s commitment to fostering mutual respect, cultural understanding and stronger spiritual ties with the global Buddhist community.
