When Consciousness of Nation Awakens, It Breaks all Shackles: PM Modi

By Manish Anand

New Delhi, February 27: The Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj may leave lasting imprints beyond the narrow confines of the Indian politics. The likely social and political consequences of Maha Kumbh are now loudly being stated by observers across ideological spectrum.

“There has been a kind of frenzy of virtue display, by all kinds of people. A brilliant job of social engineering, which will influence politics in years to come,” opined Sanjay Hedge, a well-known lawyer, who is ideologically opposed to the BJP-RSS.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath asserted his authorship of Maha Kumbh arrangements in Prayagraj. The January 29 stampede at the Maha Kumbh failed to dent determination of Adityanath to showcase the grand congregation of faith at the world stage.

“When the consciousness of a nation awakens, when it breaks all the shackles of centuries of slavery mentality and starts breathing in the air with new consciousness, then a similar scene appears, as we saw in the Maha Kumbh of unity in Prayagraj since January 13,” said Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Prime Minister essayed his thoughts on the Maha Kumbh at NaMo app.

Mahakumbh Brings Immersive Cultural Experience for Foreigners

The awakening of the national consciousness with Maha Kumbh as stated by the Prime Minister is a common refrain among the political leaders with Right-leanings.  “On January 22, 2024, during the consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, I spoke of patriotism through devotion to God. During the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, all the gods and goddesses gathered, saints and mahatmas gathered, children and old people gathered, women and youth gathered, and we witnessed the awakened consciousness of the country,” added Modi.

A retired IAS official from Uttar Pradesh said that while the numbers of the people turning up at the Maha Kumbh may be disputed, the message of melting of caste identities is now irrefutable. “The Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj has asserted the melting of the caste and regional identities into the broad Hindu Sanatan identity. This is a big message from Prayagraj,” the retired official said, while speaking on phone from Prayagraj.

Uttar Pradesh government spotlighted film star Karina Kaif seeking spiritual guidance at the Parmarth Niketan camp in Prayagraj as an assertion of ‘Sanatan Dharma’ appeal. The state government also spotlighted foreigners speaking highly of Maha Kumbh.

During the course of Maha Kumbh, the BJP won the Milkipur Assembly byelections. The BJP’s Chandrabhan Paswan won the seat for the BJP. Adityanath had urged upon the people to vote for “nationalists” in the Milkipur Assembly byelection.

Modi linked grandeur of Maha Kumbh to awakening of the national consciousness. The chain further links up from the inauguration of the Ram Temple.

While the BJP stock went down in Uttar Pradesh in the Lok Sabha elections, the saffron outfit rebranded Hindutva to win three of the five Assembly elections held thereafter. The BJP won Haryana, Maharashtra, and Delhi while losing Jharkhand and Jammu and Kashmir polls.
