It's wonderful to see CM personally visiting and encouraging such efforts. The Arzi Hukumat and the fight against Portuguese rule in Amreli is a chapter many of us don't know about. Education through exhibitions like this is the best way to connect youth with our history.
Good initiative, but I wish such exhibitions weren't limited to just one day or one district. Our freedom fighters' stories deserve year-round recognition. Still, kudos to Deepak High School and the CM for this effort. Better late than never.
This is so meaningful, especially during the 80th Independence Day celebrations. Amreli has produced so many brave souls, and it's great that their stories are being shared. The Arzi Hukumat movement is a proud chapter of Gujarat's history. 🇮🇳
A very thoughtful gesture by CM Patel. It's easy to forget the struggles of those who fought for our freedom, especially the lesser-known heroes. Exhibitions like these are essential so the new generation understands the price of our independence. Jai Hind! 🙏
It's impressive to see the local history being preserved and celebrated. The stories of resistance against Portuguese rule in Amreli are not widely known. This is a great example of how grassroots initiatives can keep history alive for future generations.
