Today on the occasion of the 74th Republic Day of India, Kartavya Path was decorated with true Bhartiya essence. For the very first time, the Tablues were reflecting real core Indian, Bhartiya, and Hindu values. And this made every Indian citizen proud on a different level. First time in History most of the tableaus were carrying what genuinely depicts India. Jammu Kashmir’s jhanki for that matter was the highlight of this entire procession. In the history of Republic day, for the very first time Baba Barfani “Amarnath Baba” was there on the tableau and the entire Kartavya path was chanting bum bum bhole. This was a picture that we have seen never before.
This is our true “Naya Bharat” and we all are proud of it.
Not only that when one by one the state-wise tableaus were coming on Kartavya Path, everyone was getting goosebumps. Haryana’s Tableue depicted Kurukshetra and Arjun Krishna Samvad. Uttar Pradesha’s Jhanki depicted Ayodhya’s happiness and Prabhu Shree Ram, Mata Seeta and Lakshman and the entire Ayodhya dham, Maharashtra’s Chitrarath depicted “Sadeteen Shaktipeeth”’s maa Bhagvati and Jharkhand’s Baba Baijnath Dham was there. The true color of India was shown in today’s procession.
The entire world was watching us today, like every Republic Day. And how beautifully we have shown the true sense of India at this powerful event. From the Ministry of Culture and Defence’s cultural programs to these beautiful tableaus, we were showing the real values of India. Where we believe in our culture, beliefs, gods, lok sanskriti, our precious temples, our Nari Shakti, our courageous heroes like Birsa Munda, and the pride of our India our heritage. We wonder how it was missing a few years ago. Why were we silent then? Why were we shy to showcase this picture of our India? This is the Naya Bharat we have been waiting for, and all Indians are feeling extremely proud today.
Andhra Pradesh’s tableau showed “Prabhala Teertham” a special festival of farmers during Makar Sankranti from Andhra. Assam’s tableau’s theme was Land of heroes and Spiritualism. These all were the core basics of India. Which were never shown before on such a grand level.
Baba Barfani Amarnath Dham has been the core part of our Indian Hindu values, our spiritualism, When the entire Kartavya path was chanting Bum Bum Bhole today, we realized how powerful it was, how connecting it was and how beautiful it was to acknowledge this religious feeling of each and every citizen present there. Last year when Jammu Kashmir’s jhanki showed “Mata Vaishnodevi Temple” this feeling was the same.
Before that we were used to witnessing the Muslim culture of Jammu and Kashmir which eventually stuck in our mind and we have been looking at this state with the same view point, however, this needed to change. And for the past 2-3 years we have been witnessing this change. Last year’s Mata Vaishno Devi temple and this year’s Baba Amarnath’s tableau is the example of respecting the feelings of a huge sector of our country, our Hindu Samaj.
Today’s Republic day theme was focused on Nari Shakti and Core Indian Hindu values. This was the highlight of the entire event and we can’t be more thankful to the government for the same, for finally acknowledging our feelings, and sentiments and giving justice to the same. This couldn’t have been better.
