Summary:
Puducherry, Apr 24 (PTI) Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said culture was the common thread binding the citizens of the country across different regions and once India is started to be seen as a "geocultural" country, all the problems will be solved automatically. In his address at the 150th borth anniversary celebrations of Sri Aurobindo in this union territory, Shah heaped praises on the latter for his contributions to the country and said to understand India, one has to read or listen to him.
"From Kashmir to Kanyakumari to Dwaraka to Bengal, there is one culture that binds--Constitution is important...country should run on this.
But if there is a bonding, it is the culture.
The culture is its soul.
This will be understood as soon as you read Sri Aurobindo," he said.
Shah further said most countries came into existence due to a coalition or alliance and were therefore geopolitical in nature.
