India's heritage is not only history but also science… Prime Minister Modi said while inaugurating the session of the World Heritage Committee.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the 46th session of the World Heritage Committee at Bharat Mandapam on Sunday. Prime Minister Modi said that India is celebrating the festival of Guru Purnima today. I extend my greetings to you and the people of the country on this festival of spirituality and knowledge. This session begins on such an important day and is being organized for the first time in India. He also said that over the past years we have brought back more than 350 ancient traditions of India. Returning to ancient tradition reflects universal generosity and respect for history. The participation of experts from every corner of the world shows the richness of this summit. This event is taking place on the soil of India, one of the oldest civilizations in the world. India is so ancient that every point of the present tells a story of some glorious past. 'India's heritage is not just a history,' the PM added, now take Delhi as an example. Delhi is known to the world as the capital of India, but the city is also a center of tradition that is thousands of years old. Here you can see the historical legacy at every step. About 15 kilometers from here, there is a multi-ton pillar standing in the open for 2000 years. Has not rusted till today. It is clear from this that India's heritage is not only a history but India's heritage is also a science. India's heritage reflects the glorious journey of top nose engineering. Referring to the Kedarnath Temple, Prime Minister Modi mentioned the Kedarnath Temple in the session, saying that even today the place is geographically inaccessible and people have to walk several kilometers or go by helicopter. The location is very challenging for any construction. Due to heavy snowfall, it is not possible to carry out work there, but it is important that the temple in Kedar Valley was built in the 8th century. Environment has been considered in its engineering. The temple is still standing. India's history is huge: Prime Minister I have places like Dholavira and Lothal in the state of Gujarat where I come from. The urban planning and arrangements in Tolavira centuries ago still amaze experts. The history and civilization of India is ancient and extensive. Therefore, as new facts emerge, we must develop a new perspective to look at the past. World experts must know about the resources found in Sinauli, UP. The winding of Sinauli dates back to the Copper Age, but it corresponds more to the Vedic civilization than to the Indus Valley Civilization. There, a 4,000-year-old chariot has been found. These new realities show that India needs a new way of thinking without ideas. Be part of a new understanding of history that develops in light of new facts. Heritage is not just history, but shared consciousness. We must use this potential of heritage for the betterment of the world.
