New Delhi: While addressing his monthly radio show 'Mann ki Baat' on Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to the countrymen to write about freedom fighters and stories of their struggle as mark to celebrate India's 75th Independence Day in 2021.

PM Modi during 'Mann ki Baat' said that as India will celebrate 75 years of freedom, the writings will be the best tribute to those heroes of our freedom. He announced the initiative taken for young writers for the purpose of India Seventy-Five.
