莫迪总理：“小”人塑造历史，改变社会
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said narratives in India tend to focus on the royalty or the ruling class while the struggles and contributions of those considered 'inferior' by society are rarely recognized and celebrated.
"It is the 'small' people who shape history and bring change in society," Modi said. The PM was speaking as the chief guest at the Times Now Amazing Indians Awards 2016 on Thursday.
"Why is it that a teacher who shaped many lives has no road or 'chowk' named after him or her whereas a corporator does?" he asked.
Reflecting on Indian history and mythology, the PM offered illustrations from the Ramayana (the squirrels who helped build the Ram setu) and the Mahabharata (Sudama, Krishna's humble friend). He also recalled the Panj Pyaras, and the brave Mawal foot-soldiers who were part of Chhatrapati Shivaji's army.
莫迪总理称，印度故事叙写的主要是皇室和执政阶级，而那些被社会视为“下等人”的挣扎和贡献鲜有受到认可和庆祝的。
“塑造历史和给社会带来改变的是‘小’人”，莫迪说。
为什么一位塑造许多灵魂的老师没有哪条公路是以他们名字命名的，而企业主就有？

MODI himself is a best example to say HOW SMALL PEOPLE MAKE IT BIG in India
莫迪自己就是小人在印度做大事的绝好例子
ajay awasthi
what does he mean by "small "? There are better words for common people if he meant them. Why humiliate common people with his "small " gyan? Better talk in simple and meaningful words
他指的“小”是什么意思？
如果是指老百姓，其实有更好的词来指代
为什么要用“小”字来羞辱老百姓？

Teachers just cannot have the roads on their name because the decision makers are corporators
教师没有公路是以他的名字命名的，因为公路取名是企业主说的算的

PM a good visionary has to eradicate corruption from his own party to give a foundation to the vision.
为了给自己的愿景奠定坚实的基础，莫迪总理必须消灭自己党内的腐败
Kamran Khan
For small people to work, corruption has to come down. Mr Modi, are you doing anything about it?
小人要发挥作用
腐败必须减少
莫迪先生，你是否有在反腐？

Congress party never believed so. That is the reason the party always glorified Nehru and Gandhi clan only.
国大党从来不这样认为
这就是国大党一直仅对尼赫鲁和甘地家族进行歌功颂德的原因
Rahul Dutt
We need more shows like Amazing Indians, more and more people are inspired
希望看到更多了不起的印度人，希望越来越多人受到激励。

With out common people there is no India. They only contribute more to Nation than politicians and Corporate for the growth. The elite are looters of Society.
没有屁民，就没有印度
他们对国家发展的贡献超过政客和企业的贡献
那些精英是社会的抢劫犯。
