Being the youngest Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi’s thought process was modern and different from others.
This day is observed as ‘Sadbhavana Diwas’ or Harmony Day’ with an objective to encourage national integration, peace, affection, and communal harmony among the Indian people of all religions and languages. It promotes the unity in diversity and feeling of oneness amongst people to a great level. It brings a type of racial and cultural similarity among people of different community.
