Somnath Swabhiman Parv: Sudhanshu Trivedi Attacks Congress Over 'Macaulay Mindset' Amid 1000-Year Event

On this Special Report, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National Spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi addresses the 'Somnath Swabhiman Parv', marking 1000 years since the attack on the Somnath Temple in 1026. Trivedi sharply criticises the Congress party and Rahul Gandhi, accusing them of harbouring a 'Macaulay mindset'. He contrasts historical interpretations of Mahmud of Ghazni by historians like Utbi versus Jawaharlal Nehru in 'Discovery of India'. Highlighting the resilience of Indian culture, Trivedi states, 'The Macaulay factor of 19th century and the Marxist factor of 20th... the answer to that is also the M factor, that is, the Modi factor.' The programme also notes Prime Minister Narendra Modi's expected visit to Somnath on January 11th.
