Former Gujarat deputy chief minister Nitin Patel on Wednesday said that India’s youth should be aware of ‘great leaders’ like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and measures are necessary to educate them on such icons through various initiatives.
Patel was speaking at an event organised Rashtriya Chintan Manch, in Nikol, Ahmedabad to commemorate the death anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
“The new generation should know historical facts. In recorded history, deliberate attempts were made to let new generations know about Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth, (Abraham) Lincoln, George Washington, but not about our great leaders,” Patel said.
Holding the Congress responsible for such a recording of history, Patel said that now time has come to write history afresh with “golden words”.
