Yeh Bharat na rukta hai, na thakta hai, na haanfta hai, aur na hi haarta hai: PM Modi invokes Indian ethos on I-Day

Highlighting India's ethos, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said the country does not stop, tire, falter or lose because this is the "new India" which is self-confident and determined to make its commitments meaningful. "This is a government that works and surpasses set goals," he said while addressing the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort on the 77th Independence Day.

Modi noted that this is the new India, a self-confident India, an India filled with determination to make its commitments meaningful.

"Yeh Bharat na rukta hai, yeh Bharat na thakta hai, yeh Bharat na haanfta hai, aur na hi yeh Bharat haarta hai (India does not stop, India does not tire, India does not falter, and India does not lose)," he said.


The prime minister also recited a poem on the government led by him and its governance.

"Chalta chalata kaalchakra, Amritkaal ka bhaalchakra, Sabke sapne, apne sapne, Panpe sapne saare, dheer chale, veer chale, chale yuva humaare, Neeti sahi reeti nayi, gati sahi raah nayi, Chuno chunauti seena taan, jag mein badhao desh ka naam," Modi recited.
