Since 2021, the Modi government has observed August 14 as the Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, honoring those who perished in riots following the country's division. In a tweet on X, the Prime Minister recalled the courage of all those impacted by Partition, emphasizing that it was a moment that tore apart lives, causing families to be uprooted, loved ones to be lost, and immense suffering to be endured. The Prime Minister reflected on the resilience of those who rebuilt their lives from nothing, turned adversity into achievement, and contributed to the nation's progress despite the turmoil. He stated that their lives exemplified the strength of the human spirit and urged everyone to celebrate this day by deepening their resolve to preserve harmony and brotherhood in the nation, working collectively towards building a Viksit Bharat (a developed India).",
