The government is making every effort in this direction." The prime minister's remarks come in the backdrop of a huge debate stirred by a social media post by Donald Trump in which the US President termed India a 'dead economy" while commenting on the country's ties with Russia. Back home, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi latched on to Trump's comments, making 'dead economy" a political slogan, even though several of his party colleagues and allies appeared to differ. 'Our government is doing everything it can in the best interest of the country… Those who want the best for the country and want to see India as the third biggest economy in the world, be it any political party, should leave their differences aside and instil a resolution for 'swadeshi' products. We will buy only those things that are made by Indians. We need to become vocal for local," the prime minister added. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

My felicitations for the importance you've accorded to democratic principles by inviting people's ideas and thoughts for your Independence Day address. "I'm writing this as an Indian from the state of Tamil Nadu. The 'Thirukkural' that you have been celebrating forever is a moral code of ethics that transcends race, religion, language and country. The single, unifying principle at its core is humanity!" Vairamuthu then went on to claim, "That Thirukkural should be announced as the 'National Book of India' is a long-held dream and unfulfilled plea of Tamilians." He then said, "We wish that 'Thirukkural' must be announced as the 'National Book of India' in your address to the nation on the 79th Independence Day. As requested by you, we will also be sharing this suggestion on the 'NaMo' App. Such a declaration about Thirukkural will be considered as a noble contribution from India to our world's cultural wealth. Please do all possible to realise this dream." The lyricist concluded the note saying that he would be waiting eagerly in front of his television set to hear the good news. He wrote,"I will be waiting eagerly, in front of the television on August 15th, for the good news. @narendramodi @PMOIndia" For the unaware, The Thirukkuṟaḷ, a classic Tamil language text containing 1,330 short couplets called Kurals, is hailed as one of the greatest literary creations around the world. Each of the Kurals is made up of seven words. The book, which contains teachings on virtues, wealth and love, is recognised for its universality and secular nature.
