In the latest episode of Mann Ki Baat on 27th September 2020, Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi spoke about the art of storytelling. He mentioned that the history of stories is as ancient as the human civilization itself. ‘Where there is a soul, there is a story’.

As we are going to celebrate 75 years of independence, Prime Minister urged storytellers across the Nation to share stories of many inspiring events during the entire period of our enslavement. Especially, from 1857 to 1947, stories around every major or minor incident during this period can be introduced to our new generation.

“May this art of storytelling become stronger in the country, become more popularized and easier to imbibe - this is something we must all strive for”: PM Narendra Modi

Do you know of any inspiring event during the 1857-1947 freedom struggle that isn’t so well known? Maybe a long-forgotten hero who did not get as much prominence as he/she deserved? Maybe an incident which played a minor but important role in our struggle? A story you might have heard from a family elder, many years ago?

Tell us, we will feature your story for all Indians!

Share your story in the form of a video, audio clip, picture or essay.

वासुदेव बळवंत फडके हे आद्य क्रांतिकारक होते.१८५७चा उठवा नंतर देशाला सशत्र क्रांतिकारकांची गरज होती. आणि फडकेंनी महाराष्ट्रात राहून जे काही जण आंदोलन केले , मला वाटेत की त्यांचं व्यक्तिमत्त्व सुधा टिळक आगरकर आणि सावरकर इतकाच महत्वाचं आहे.त्यांची देश स्वातंत्र्यासाठी च्या लढ्यात तितकाच खारीचा वाटा आहे.
