PUDUCHERRY: Culture was the common thread that bound citizens across the country, said Union home minister Amit Shah in Puducherry on Sunday. Addressing the 150th birth anniversary celebrations of revolutionary freedom fighter-turned-spiritual guru Sri Aurobindo, organized by the Sri Aurobindo Society, Shah said India was the only geo-cultural country in the world based on culture whereas other countries were geopolitical, be it Europe, America, Russia or China.
"If we realize that India is a geo-cultural country, then all the problems of today will be solved automatically. There is one culture that binds us, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, to Dwarka to Bengal. The culture is India's soul," Shah said.
