Who declared mango as the national fruit of India?
Kalidasa is a writer of poetry. Mangoes come in over a hundred distinct sizes, shapes, and colors in India. Mangoes have been grown in India from the beginning of time. Kalidasa, the poet, praised it. He called it the "nectar of gods and the delight of humans." In modern times, the honor has been taken up by several politicians. India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also praised mangoes on many occasions. In August 2016, he tweeted: "After taking a tour of the garden outside 10 Downing Street, I went back home to Delhi with fresh memories of London. One thing that stayed with me was the taste of Indian mangoes." In 2013, when Modi was still chief minister of Gujarat, more than 100 people were killed when an eight-story building collapsed at the Sabarmati Riverbank settlement. But the government did not declare this as the death of thousands because there were no crops in the area at the time except for some trees growing near the river. However, after the disaster Modi announced that 2011 was going to be the year when India would start eating more mangoes. Modi has also said that he loves mangoes and eats them every day. Now you know that Modi has declared mangoes as India's national fruit.
