Correct Answer : Mangarh Dham
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has declared Mangarh Dham in Rajasthan a national monument, as per a government statement released on Tuesday(1st Nov 2022). He was addressing the ‘Mangarh Dham ki Gaurav Gatha’ programme at Mangarh Dham in Rajasthan's Banswara district.
The Prime Minister also paid tribute to Bhil freedom fighter "Shri Govind Guru" in Banswara apart from the tribals who were massacred by the British army in 1913 in Mangarh in Rajasthan.
PM Modi also shared the dais with Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot, Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Bhupendra Patel, the CM of Gujarat at the event on Tuesday(1st Nov 2022).
Addressing the event, Gujarat CM Patel claimed that the massacre of tribals at Mangarh in 1913 was more gruesome than that at Jallianwala Bagh in Punjab, while his Rajasthan counterpart Gehlot said Modi gets respect in the world because he is the prime minister of a country where the roots of democracy have been strong.
"When Modi goes abroad, he gets so much respect. Why he gets the respect, he gets the respect because Modi is the prime minister of a country that is the country of Gandhi, roots of democracy are deeper and even after 70 years, democracy is alive. People know this and give respect," Gehlot said.
The dham, a memorial for around
1,500 tribals massacred by the
