They have been nice leaders little question about it however there have been far many extra folks.

Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi participated within the Trichy National faculty Seminar on Contribution of South Indian Languages throughout Freedom Struggle on twelfth December and delivered his speech.

“When we look for a mass movement it could not just be confined only to Indian National Congress. They were great leaders there was no doubt about it but there were far many more people. And that is how we find the people like Dr BR Ambedkar, Netaji Subash Chandra Bose, Veera Pandiya Kattabomman, Velunachiyar, Chidambaram Pillai, Marudhu Brothers, Puli Devan and many of them. They do not find an adequate place in the mainstream in the National freedom movement and there are many more,” Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi.

He stated that Mahatma Gandhi was the helm of affairs, so those that weren’t the a part of National freedom motion fall both on the margin or footnote or nowhere/

The reality is the mainstream document of the nationwide actions taught to our college students in faculties and faculties by giant revolve across the historical past of the Indian National Congress. Since they have been those who have been prominently main the motion. Mahatma Gandhi was the helm of affairs, so those that weren’t the a part of National freedom motion fall both on the margin or footnote or nowhere,” stated RN Ravi.

Underlining the agony of slavery which many couldn’t bear he stated that the efforts of these shouldn’t be ignored.

“Since the freedom movement led by our great leader and father of our Nation Mahatma Gandhi is said, what about those who could not bear the agony of slavery like Netaji subash Chandra Bose who fight and started INA against Britishers and at Individual level, Uttam Singh, Bhagat Singh, Chandrasekhar Azad, Raja Guru. Suk Dev and many from here as well ( TN ). They could not bare and pay the price with their life. They were called revolutionaries and they were not projected as to be headrests to the movement,” he stated.

“When did the National freedom movement begin? larger narrative in the country says 1857. Even if we take the European conquer colonization, was it that in 1857 when the freedom movement began? if that’s so what about 1806. They colonized our minds. When our mind is colonized even today how can we give justice to the National freedom movement? How can we, on one hand, think and praise colonization and praise those who colonised us (Britishers) and we talk about the National freedom movement and those who did it? I think there is a need for a more honest approach to it,” he added.

Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi stated that the nation gained independence due to those that sacrificed for us and the fundamental narrative in regards to the Indian Freedom Movement doesn’t do correct justice to those folks.

“In North East, I went to the families where their fore father’s flight for freedom struggle and gave their life and blood for us to be free (Now). Our independence has come came out of there who sacrificed for us,” he stated.

He additional urged the scholars to eradicate the colonial thoughts despatched and have a nationwide perspective on the nationwide freedom motion.

“I believe our students our academicians our college students who’re all for analysis, have to wildcard it in the way in which to develop a nationwide perspective on the National freedom motion.

Unless you will have the nationwide perspective on our nationwide freedom motion our nationwide freedom motion on historical past will concoct. We ought to eradicate the colonial thoughts despatched from us and it’s not straightforward. Some years again we had a Prime Minister who went to launch an Indian chair in British universities as a result of it was chaired from our nation’s cash. In his speech there he praised the British, I believed he was repeating what I heard at school 6 on the advantages of British rule in India. He was an excellent individual and a really fantastic individual but it surely had definitely caught into the unconscious. We must consciously eradicate it. And Mahatma Gandhi was completely proper when after the British left when folks have been celebrating, a query was requested why are you not completely satisfied the place he stated the British have left solely bodily however they’re nonetheless in our minds and it wil take half the time of colonisation when you work exhausting to erase them from our thoughts. We dint do any effort up to now but it surely’s time that we do it and it’s essential to do it. The time is now and that is the time to do it,” stated Tamil Nadu Governor. (ANI)
