Modi has been putting great emphasis on Swadeshi. He said that buying products manufactured by Indians would be a true tribute to Gandhi and Shastri. He said that Swadeshi is the foundation of a self -sufficient and developed India.
Born in 1869 in Gujarat, Gandhi is considered the most influential Indian of his era as he shaped the country’s freedom movement through truth and non -violence and became his followers worldwide.
Shastri was born in Uttar Pradesh in 1904 and became the Prime Minister of the country after the death of Jawaharlal Nehru. When India fought a war with Pakistan during his short tenure as Prime Minister, his honesty and the leadership of the country granted him universal praise.
