New Delhi, 16 December (H.S.): Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared a profound Sanskrit subhashita on Tuesday, extolling the humility of true warriors who shun self-praise while achieving extraordinary feats, in resonance with Vijay Diwas observances honoring 1971 war heroes.

Humility Defines True Heroism

PM Modi posted on X: “न मर्षयन्ति चात्मानं सम्भावयितुमात्मना। अदर्शयित्वा शूरास्तु कर्म कुर्वन्ति दुष्करम्।।” This verse translates to: True warriors do not deem it fit to praise themselves; without ostentation, they accomplish the most arduous tasks. He captioned it to underscore how genuine shuraveers—selfless exemplars like the 1971 victors—perform daunting deeds sans fanfare, their actions speaking louder than Words.

Echoes 1971 Legacy of Unassuming Courage

Posted minutes after his Vijay Diwas tribute, the subhashita draws from ancient texts like the Mahabharata, celebrating warriors' innate modesty amid trials—mirroring Indian forces' swift defeat of Pakistan, forcing Dhaka's surrender and Bangladesh's liberation without boastful rhetoric.

PM Modi's curation aligns with Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, blending cultural heritage with national pride in silent sacrifices that inspire enduring resilience.
