Varanasi, Apr 7: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha Sunday said that India was shedding the remnants of its colonial past and witnessing a cultural revival.
In his keynote address at a seminar on Sanatan Culture, the LG said, “India is shedding the remnants of colonial past and we are witnessing a cultural revival.”

“The ideals and values of our founding fathers will continue to inspire us and help us to overcome every obstacle to build a promising future,” LG Sinha said.
Highlighting the ancient Indian value system and timeless culture, he said different religions, languages, literature, and customs had always strengthened the spirit of brotherhood and the agenda of social equity.

“We are inheritors of India’s rich cultural and spiritual legacy. We must pledge to uphold the high values and follow the righteous path,” he said.
