While reviewing the design and decorative structure of the proposed Srimanta Sankardeva International Museum to be set up at Srimanta Sankardeva Kalakshetra in Guwahati in a meeting at his conference room in Janata Bhawan on Wednesday, Chief Minister Sonowal said that Srimanta Sankardeva’s personality stretched beyond the identity of a cultural connoisseur, spiritual reformer and religious preacher.
He was a legend with universal thought and vision who laid the foundation of a pluralistic Assamese society by bringing people of different ethnicities together to form the greater Assamese identity.
“The young generation needs to know more about Sankardeva’s towering personality, his contributions to world humanity as well as building Assamese culture and society. Along with the proposed international museum, the film would be an appropriate initiative to showcase his universal personality to world audience,” he averred.
