Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday hailed the Somnath Temple in Gujarat, which was rebuilt after repeated attacks by foreign invaders, as a symbol of the indomitable spirit of Indian civilisation. In a blogpost to mark 1,000 years since the first attack on the Somnath Temple, PM Modi said, “There can be no better example of our civilisation’s indomitable spirit than Somnath, which stands gloriously, overcoming odds and struggle”.
