India must stop allowing others to define its identity, says Adani
Business Standard
|October 11, 2025
“If we do not narrate who we are, others will rewrite who we were,” Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani said on Friday, calling for India to take charge of its global narrative through cinema, storytelling, and emerging technologies.
Speaking at Whistling Woods International, Adani emphasised that India must stop allowing foreign voices to define its identity. "Silence is not humility, it is surrender,” he said, pointing to films like Gandhi and Slumdog Millionaire as examples of how India’s stories have often been told through Western lenses.
He argued that India's failure to own its story has allowed others to profit off caricatures of its reality, and said the country must stop allowing others to define its identity.
