The contribution of leaders such as Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, B.R. Ambedkar and Sardar Patel have been obliterated in mainstream Indian discourse to magnify the presence of one family, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday.

As he laid the foundation stone of a museum dedicated to the Azad Hind Fauj (Indian National Army), Modi recalled that in remembering his Cambridge days, Bose, who had founded the Azad Hind Fauj, wrote that: "Indians are taught that Europe is a bigger picture of the Great Britain and because of this our habit is to look at Europe from an English perpective.".
