Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone of Maharaja Suheldev Memorial and development work of Chittaura Lake in Uttar Pradesh's Bahraich.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was also present at the event.
The event took place via video conferencing on February 16.
While addressing at the event, PM Modi said, "History of India is not just what was written by those who enslaved this country and those with a slave mentality.
India's history is that too which the common people of India have kept in the folk stories of India, that which has been carried forward by generations." "Today when India is entering the 75th year of independence, there can be no bigger an occasion to remember and take inspiration from the contribution of such great men (Maharaja Suheldev), their sacrifice, struggle, valour and martyrdom," he added.
"It is a misfortune that those who dedicated their lives to protect India were not given their due position they deserved.
The injustice and manipulation done to those who created history, by those who wrote history is being corrected by today's India," PM Modi further stated.
