00:00We should make similar efforts with the diasporas that have gone to different countries.
00:14For example, our Girmitiya brothers and sisters.
00:22Why don't we create a database of our Girmitiya brothers and sisters?
00:30So that we can identify the villages and cities they have gone to in India.
00:39So that we can identify the places where they have gone to live.
00:47How was their life?
00:50What challenges did they face?
00:53What opportunities did they get?
00:56To bring all this to light,
01:00films can be made,
01:02documentaries can be made.
01:06To study the Girmitiya legacy,
01:10to do research on it,
01:13chairs can be set up in universities.
01:20At regular intervals,
01:24a World Girmitiya Conference can be held.
01:29I will ask my team to work on advancing this.
01:41Friends,
01:43today's India is developing and inheriting this mantra.
01:53During G20, we held meetings in every corner of the country
02:02so that the world can experience India's diversity firsthand.
02:10We are very proud to organize the Kashi Tamil Sangham,
02:16the Kashi Telugu Sangham,
02:19and the Saurashtra Tamil Sangham.
02:24A few days later,
02:27on St. Thiruvalluvar Day,
02:30our government has decided to set up Thiruvalluvar Culture Centres.
02:42In Singapore, the first such centre has been set up.
02:50Thiruvalluvar chairs are also being set up at Houston University in America.
02:59All these efforts are taking the Tamil language,
03:04the Tamil heritage,
03:07and the heritage of India to every corner of the world.
03:16Friends,
03:18we have taken many steps to connect our places with the heritage of India.
03:31For example,
03:33there is a special Ramayan Express train to visit places associated with Lord Ram and Sita.
03:45The Bharat Gaurav train also connects the country's important heritage places.
03:54We have also connected the country's major heritage centres with our semi-high-speed Vande Bharat train.
04:04A while ago, I had the opportunity to start a special Indian Express train.
04:13About 150 people will take a tour of 17 destinations associated with tourism and culture.
04:25There are many places in Odisha where you should definitely visit.
04:34In Prayagraj, the Mahakumbh festival is about to begin.
04:39This is a rare opportunity in life.
04:44You should definitely visit there.
04:47Friends, India gained independence in 1947.
04:54Our diaspora also played a major role in this.
