Write your own.” Adani argued that nations are not built by orders but by those who write their own story — “Rashtra adesh mankar nahi bante, apni gatha khud likhkar bante hain.” He accused the developed world of “narrative colonization,” saying countries that heated the planet now lecture Bharat on cooling it. Despite this burden, he said, India is still leading responsibly.
