Bihar Governor Arif Mohammad Khan emphasized the importance of India's cultural heritage in addressing modern challenges, attributing the public's indifference to their roots to a prolonged colonial past. Speaking at the Grand Trunk Road Initiative event, Khan recited Sanskrit verses to underline his message.
Khan pointed out the distinctiveness of victory, as depicted in the national anthem, which celebrates triumph without subjugation. Reflecting on the historical wisdom of Nalanda, he noted that though the ancient institution was destroyed, the knowledge it spread remains influential.
Addressing journalists, Khan stressed that his role as a governor transcends religious identity, urging public figures to avoid actions that exacerbate caste or community divisions, in order to prevent long-term social tensions in India.
