In a vibrant display of cultural pride and political solidarity, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) organized a grand rally in Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, on the auspicious occasion of Ugadi. This Hindu festival, marking the beginning of the New Year and the arrival of spring, was celebrated with a unique twist, as it coincided with the birth anniversary of RSS founder Keshav Baliram Hedgewar.
The event, held at the PRC Grounds, attracted a large gathering, with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) district vice-president Vijay Kumar emphasizing the significance of the day. He stated that the rally was a tribute to Hedgewar, whose birth anniversary adds a special dimension to the already important festival of Ugadi. This celebration highlights the deep connection between cultural traditions and political ideologies in India.
President Droupadi Murmu's message on this festive occasion further underscored the unity in India's cultural diversity. She extended her greetings for the various regional New Year celebrations, including Ugadi, Gudi Padwa, Cheti Chand, Navreh, and Sajibu Cheiraoba, all of which symbolize the country's rich cultural tapestry. The President's words resonate with the festival's spirit, wishing happiness and prosperity for all.
The rally in Nellore is a testament to how cultural and religious events can become platforms for political expression and unity. As Prime Minister Narendra Modi noted in his Mann ki Baat address, these festivals showcase India's 'unity in diversity,' a concept that the RSS rally embodied, bringing together people from various backgrounds to honor their traditions and a political ideology deeply rooted in Indian culture.
