“It is with great humility that I, on behalf of my entire Premi family and the community at large, inform everyone about the great honour bestowed on my revered father,” said Rajinder Premi, Sarwanand Koul Premi’s son and a renowned social activist, in a statement released earlier. “We are deeply indebted to Vivekananda Kendra for immortalizing the sacrifice and contribution of my father.” His inclusion is a testament to the widespread nature of the struggle and to the diverse voices who contributed to India’s freedom.
The impressive memorial, featuring a Bharat Mata statue and a 100-foot national flag, is a fitting tribute to these unsung heroes.
