TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ Maharashtra has inspired the country in many areas ranging from social revolutions to self-rule, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday as he inaugurated an underground ‘Gallery of Revolutionaries’ museum dedicated to the luminaries of the freedom struggle, at the Raj Bhavan in Mumbai.
The PM delved into history and highlighted the work done by a number of eminent personalities with roots in Maharashtra, from warrior king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to chief Constitution maker Babasaheb Ambedkar, and spoke effusively about their contributions.
The gallery has come up in a British-era bunker, discovered in the Raj Bhavan campus in south Mumbai in August 2016 during the tenure of the then-Governor C Vidyasagar Rao. The bunker had been used by Britishers as a secret storage for arms and ammunition. Speaking at the event, Modi said the bunker, which was not known to anyone for years and used to store goods that were once used against Indian revolutionaries, now has a gallery with their names.
