Doordarshan to broadcast two-part documentary on cultural achievements of Modi government

Dharohar Bharat Ki – Punruthaan ki Kahaani (Heritage of India: A Tale of Revival), a two-part documentary on the achievements of the Central government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will be broadcast on Doordarshan National.

The series, which will show on April 14 and 15, at 8 p.m., follows Mr. Modi’s vision and execution of new national landmark locations. According to a government announcement, it will tell the story of the resurrection of our cultural unity and pride.

“The documentary will be anchored by popular digital media presenter Kamiya Jani. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his exclusive interaction for the documentary, has said: ‘Our soldiers devote their entire lives and sacrifice every fibre of their being to safeguard every inch of our motherland. Their sacrifice cannot just be measured in words; its grandeur and import have to be brought alive to inspire future generations’,” the release said.

Cultural pride

“In line with his vision, the documentary will showcase the huge strides made by India in the last few years for the revival of India’s spirit of cultural unity and pride,” said the release.

It went on to say that the documentary will cover topics like “ensuring the security and sanctity for patriotic sites like Jallianwala Bagh; reviving the splendid fervour of our civilisational centres like Ram Janmabhoomi, Kashi Vishwanath Dham, Somnath Dham, and Kedarnath Dham, as well as spiritual sites like Kartarpur Sahib.”

The film will also include themes such as celebrating the lives of freedom fighters at inspirational sites such as the Cellular Jail, center-staging Netaji Bose’s contribution through a grand statue at the India Gate canopy, and honouring patriots’ legendary contributions through the War Memorial.

“The clarion call given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi – ‘ puratan, mahaan paramparaon ke prati aakarshan’ or the interest in our pristine, magnanimous and unparalleled legacy –has become a nationwide phenomenon with historic participation from all sections of society. This documentary is a reflection of this very idea,” the release said.

Stating that it was imperative for the youth of today to fully understand the significance of the sacrifices of freedom fighters and commemorate their legacy, the government said the sanctity of the revived and beautified spiritual centres, such as the Sabarmati Ashram, and the reason behind the construction of new monuments and statues, such as the Statue of Unity and the Panchteerth, could be fully understood through the documentary.

The documentary would bring joy and pride to every Indian heart, as well as the Indians-at-heart everywhere, said the release.
