Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday underlined that the world today pays attention to India, crediting the nation's heritage for its ability to convey a powerful message to the international community: the future lies not in yudh (war) but in Budh (Buddha).
Speaking at the 18th Pravasi Bharatiya Divas convention in Bhubaneswar, Modi highlighted India's deep-rooted democratic traditions, stating that the country is not just the mother of democracy but that democracy is an intrinsic part of its people's way of life.
He further noted that India has emerged as a global voice, articulating not only its own perspectives but also representing the aspirations of the Global South on the world stage.
Drawing parallels between ancient and modern India, Modi referenced Emperor Ashoka's historic choice of peace over military expansion. "Due to this heritage, India is able to tell the world 'bhavishya yudh mein nahi hai, Budh mein hai' (the future does not lie in war but in Buddha)," he declared, highlighting India's historical commitment to peaceful coexistence.
