Efforts To Portray India As ‘Mother Of Democracy’ On Abroad: Jaishankar

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Thursday told the Rajya Sabha that India has initiated activities through its cultural centres abroad to emphasize the message that India is the mother of democracy. Replying to a supplementary during question hour in the Rajya Sabha, the minister said, this matter has been discussed by us with the Indian Council of Cultural Relations.

“We have already initiated activities abroad through our cultural centres to emphasize the message that India is the mother of democracy, that India has a pluralistic and consultative tradition that very few societies, if anybody at all, can match,” he told the members.
