If I continue writing, my life would not suffice to depict the rich history of our great nation Bharat and its significant contributions to the world. So, if you perceive yourself as weak or incapable, if you underestimate yourself, then recall the example of Chanakya who defeated the Greeks and sent them back.

They fear our history because they lack one of their own.
They fear our power because they know that if we unite, those feeble beings are nothing. Remember our greatest emperor Chandragupta Maurya, who completely annihilated them in ancient times.

They bore a responsibility that had been handed down by their ancestors, and a flame ignited within each of them, akin to how Ram had kindled a fire within all those who read or heard his words.
