This special report covers Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the memorial of Raja Hamir Singh Gohil near the Somnath temple, honouring the historical resistance against invaders. Author Sai Swaroopa Iyer joins the discussion, providing commentary on India’s cultural resurgence. She argues against the criticism of India becoming a ‘Hindu Pakistan’, stating, ‘Hinduism is one religion, one civilization that does not separate religion from science like most of the, you know, Western approach is.’ Iyer emphasizes that India’s temples were also centres of scientific progress, citing their architecture as proof. The report also touches upon the Prime Minister’s message of hope and the global rise of Indian traditions like Yoga and Ayurveda, framing it as a revival of the Indian way of life.
