Forces with colonial mindset, with FoE, hampering India's growth: PM Modi

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said India’s growth story is being disrupted by forces with a colonial mindset, including in the name of freedom of expression.

Addressing a Constitution Day event organised by the Supreme Court, he said a colonial mindset still exists, years after the end of colonialism, and these forces are putting obstacles in the path of growth of the developing nations.

Modi said today, there is no country in the world that exists as a colony of another, but that does not mean that the colonial mindset is a thing of the past too.

“We are seeing that this mindset is giving rise to many distortions. The most obvious example of this is seen in the obstacles faced by us in the development journey of developing countries,” he added.

The prime minister said efforts are being made to close out the same means, the same path for the developing countries, by which the developed world has reached where it is today.
