I&B minister Anurag Thakur launches 'Swaraj' series on OTT platform

Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur on Tuesday launched the first season of "Swaraj" on OTT platform Amazon Prime. Speaking on the occasion, Thakur said, the launch of the series on the over-the-top (OTT) platform was a true tribute to all those unsung great heroes of our independence who sacrificed everything for the country. He said the series was commissioned taking inspiration from the "Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav" national campaign of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and captures the stories of bravery in India's freedom struggle about which very few people know. "These are the wars which got lost somewhere in the pages of history. I am confident that this series will instil a sense of pride in our youth towards the history of our nation," Thakur said. He said the series will help the national and international audience understand the spirit of the country's 500-year-long relentless struggle to gain independence from colonial rulers.
