Speaking at a conclave on Friday, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that if we want to build ‘Brand India’, we should not pay attention to the diktats of the West about what is right. He said that we have been producing goods for thousands of years, the question of exploitation has never arisen. And suddenly in a traditional industry like, say, carpet making, you get a decree from the western buyers that you are using children to make these carpets. We will not buy it from you.
Sitharaman gave this mantra
Sitharaman said that families in India are engaged in making children craftsmen without depriving them of schooling, because unless the craft is learned at a very early age, a craftsman can never master it. In such a situation, we have to stand up and say that we care about their education. He said that the kind of steps that need to be taken for better ethical production should be done on our own, and not after the issuance of Western diktats.
paid attention to this
Sitharaman also said that the importance of our temples and our iconic tourist centers should be much higher than they are now. He said that there is a need to tell people that India’s strength in science has been unbroken since ancient times. Sitharaman said that India has a rich store of knowledge thanks to ancient texts like ‘Sushruta Samhita’. These are brands of ancient India, which we still refer to today.
Government may announce soon
Just a few days ago, Nirmala Sitharaman had told social media platform X that Modi government can soon announce something good for the middle class. Responding in her post, she said that I thank you for your understanding and appreciation. I understand your concern about inflation. PM Narendra Modi’s government is an accountable government which listens to the people and pays attention to them. Your input is very important for us.
