Sir — This refers to the article, “From Varanasi, Modi will rejuvenate India” (May 6) by Sandhya Jain. Mr Narendra Modi’s journey starts with a promise to restore Ganga’s glory and purity. The Ganga is not just a river; it has been the mother of all Indians from time immemorial.
The abode of Kashi Vishwanath with mother Parvati, in her various forms, represents the spirit of the ancient town. The Buddhist shrine of Sarnath, where the Buddha received enlightenment, too is here.let Mr Modi start his journey of development, growth and governance from Kashi to deliver India from the slavish mindset of the last 67 years, and usher in a bright future for more than a billion Indians.
