Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday urged storytellers to include all inspirational stories from the period of foreign rule as the country will celebrate 75 years of independence next year. "I urge all storytellers to include all inspirational stories from the period of foreign rule as we are going to celebrate 75 years of independence. Especially between 1857 and 1947, all small and major incidents. We can introduce our new generation to them in form of stories. I am sure you will definitely do this. Let us all make efforts to strengthen the art of storytelling in our country," the Prime Minister said during the 69th edition of the 'Mann Ki Baat' programme. The Prime Minister suggested countrymen find time for stories every week.
"You may take out some time for stories every week, in your families. Choose a topic of the week for every member like compassion, sensitivity, bravery, love and valour. Every member may then find a story on that topic and then family members get together to listen to these stories. You will see the kind of treasure being created within families. It will be good research. Everyone will be filled with joy and energy," he said. PM Modi reminded the listeners that "if there are grandparents in your family, then you should ask for stories of their childhood from them and record those...It will be of immense use."
