Shivshahir Babasaheb Purandare was witty, wise and had rich knowledge of Indian history. I had the honour of interacting with him very closely over the years. A few months back, had addressed his centenary year programme.

Shivshahir Babasaheb Purandare will live on due to his extensive works. In this sad hour, my thoughts are with his family and countless admirers. Om Shanti.”

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi today recalled the historic Nuclear tests conducted by India in Pokhran in May 1998, describing them as a defining moment in our nation's resolve. “After the May 11 tests, the entire world brought pressure to bear on India, but we demonstrated that no power can bend India”, Shri Modi remarked.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit verse-

“एवं परस्परापेक्षा शक्तिशक्तिमतोः स्थिता ।

न शिवेन विना शक्तिर्न शक्त्या विना शिवः।।”

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“1998 में इसी दिन भारत ने जो परमाणु परीक्षण किए थे, उनसे दुनिया को पता चला कि हमारे देश की इच्छाशक्ति कितनी अटल है! 11 मई के टेस्ट के बाद पूरी दुनिया का दबाव भारत पर था, लेकिन हमने दिखाया कि कोई भी ताकत भारत को झुका नहीं सकती।

एवं परस्परापेक्षा शक्तिशक्तिमतोः स्थिता ।

न शिवेन विना शक्तिर्न शक्त्या विना शिवः।।”
