Multiplicity of Joy in Indian Culture and Public Life: CM
Bhopal. Chief Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that Indian Culture and Public Life have multiplicity of joy and emotional attachments to our traditions.

CM Shri Chouhan said that India is a great and ancient country. It has 5 thousand old history. When civilization of India was at peak, there was no existence of many countries. Institutions like Takshshila and Nalanda were in existence here.

He mentioned that the developed countries of the world have progressed but have lost zeal towards life. Adherence to only western thinking and culture is wrong.
