Time to be proud of being Indian: Union Minister Gajendra Shekhawat

Pune, June 6 (UNI) Union Minister for Culture and Tourism Gajendra Shekhawat said Indian culture and civilisation are deeply rooted.
In the pre-independence period, the British tried to attack it. After independence, the rulers needed to enrich this culture and civilization, but they failed and India suffered a great loss.
He said that "Gurus" from various fields maintained the tradition during that period. Today, India is being respected differently in the world. India's culture is being reestablished, and today is the time to be proud of this culture and being Indian, said Shekhawat speaking at a programme organised by Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini with music, dance and theater artists in Pune.
