PM congratulates President on being bestowed the highest civilian award of Fiji

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi said that the life of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose teaches us the true meaning of bravery and valour. He noted that Parakram Diwas reminds the nation of Netaji’s indomitable courage, sacrifice and unwavering commitment to the motherland.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam reflecting the highest ideals of heroism-

“एतदेव परं शौर्यं यत् परप्राणरक्षणम्। नहि प्राणहरः शूरः शूरः प्राणप्रदोऽर्थिनाम्॥

The Subhashitam conveys that the greatest valour lies in protecting the lives of others; one who takes lives is not a hero, but the one who gives life and protects the needy is the true brave.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“नेताजी सुभाष चंद्र बोस का जीवन हमें बताता है कि वीरता और शौर्य के मायने क्या होते हैं। पराक्रम दिवस हमें इसी का स्मरण कराता है।

एतदेव परं शौर्यं यत् परप्राणरक्षणम्।

नहि प्राणहरः शूरः शूरः प्राणप्रदोऽर्थिनाम्॥”
