‘Bharat Mata’ is voice of every Indian: Rahul Gandhi

As the country celebrated Independence Day, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said ‘’Bharat Mata’’ is the voice of every single Indian, no matter how weak or strong. In his message on Independence Day, he talked about his 145-day Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir and shared his experience on how the people during his journey touched him all along. ‘’The object of my love had suddenly revealed herself. My beloved Bharat Mata was not a land. It wasn’t a set of ideas. It wasn’t a particular culture, history or religion. Neither was it the caste that people had been assigned. ‘’India was the voice of every single Indian, no matter how weak or strong. India was the happiness, the fear and the pain hidden deep inside all the voices,’’ he said.
‘’To hear India, my own voice – my desires – my ambitions had to fall silent. India would speak to one of her own, but only if one was humble and completely silent,’’ Gandhi said.
