Prime Minister on Monday asserted that it is unfortunate that many freedom fighters like Rani Gaidinliu are almost forgotten in our history.
"Either we have forgotten such great people or we have been made to forget on purpose," Prime Minister Modi told the media here, while speaking at the birth centenary celebrations of freedom fighter Rani Gaidinliu.
He further said: "after independence, it's sad that due to political reasons Rani maa was not allowed to enter her village."
"Rani Gaidinliu was hugely inspired by Mahatma Gandhi ji and she spread his message across the north east," Prime Minister Modi added.
