Meri Mati Mera Desh campaign will further strengthen India’s unity and mutual harmony

Only a person who has attachment to his soil is indigenous. To be indigenous it is necessary to be independent. Therefore, the soil of any country is related to the independence of that country. The country will be independent only then we will be called Swadeshi. To maintain independence, it is necessary to be indigenous, self-supporting, self-respecting and self-sufficient. In Hindu culture, the ideal rule by Shriram is famous as Ram Rajya. In the present times, Ramrajya is used as the form (symbol) of the best rule or ideal rule. Ram Rajya can be considered as a refined form of democracy. The establishment of Ramrajya at the global level was the wish of Gandhiji. Gandhiji had imagined Ramrajya in the form of Gram Swaraj after freedom from British rule in India. Self-reliance is based on the concept of Ram Rajya. The foundation of self-reliant India rested on Gandhi’s Ram Rajya. Gandhi’s Swarajya was the basis of the concept of Ramrajya.

Swaraj means such a system operated by people’s representatives which is in accordance with public needs and public aspirations. This Swarajya is called Ramrajya. Swaraj means freedom. Self-reliance is the root of freedom. One cannot become independent without being self-reliant. The meaning of saying is that Ram Rajya is that rule in which all are free. Such freedom in which inequality is not created on the basis of religion and color. This freedom was called Ramrajya of Gandhi. Gandhi’s Ram Rajya was based on truth and non-violence. Gandhi’s Ramrajya will have to be put into practice. There is a need to put truth and non-violence into practice. The characteristics of Gandhi have to be made the basis of Ram Rajya. Ram Rajya strengthens democracy. The campaign creates awareness among the people. Meri Mati Mera Desh campaign aims to create awareness about patriotism. This campaign is being run across the country from 9th August to 30th August. In which the martyrs will be honored at different places in India.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi started the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign on August 15 last year and this year has started the Meri Mati Mera Desh campaign. With these steps being taken by Modi, the desire to do something for their country will also arise in the minds of the coming generation. This campaign shows the love of the Honorable Prime Minister towards the nation. Under the Meri Mati Mera Desh campaign, 7500 urns along with soil and saplings will be delivered to the country’s capital Delhi. All these urns and earthen plants will be planted near the National War Memorial. Which will be known as “Amrit Vatika” in the coming times. The meaning of saying is that my soil, my country campaign, will be the nectar garden of the future. This ‘Amrit Vatika’ will be a symbol of commitment towards ‘Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat’. Under this campaign, a special type of inscription (Shilafalakam) will also be installed in lakhs of gram panchayats across India. In which the names of freedom fighters and soldiers who received Veergati will be there.

The five vows taken under Meri Mati Mera Desh are as follows-

1. We have to give respect to the martyrs who protect the country.

2. To root out the mentality of slavery in our mind.

3. Every citizen of the country should remain dutiful with unity and unity.

4. The dream of making India a developed country by 2047 has to be realized.

5. To take pride in the rich heritage of the country by fulfilling the duty of being a citizen of our country.

The song Meri Mati Mera Desh Abhiyan from the 1967 film Upkar reminds me of the song Mere Desh Ki Mitti Sona Ugle Ugle Heere Moti Mere Desh Ki Mitti. In fact, there is no other country like India in the world. Where soil and air work as herbs and herbs. That is why India was able to deal with a situation like Corona. Therefore, we can say that Meri Mati Mera Desh campaign is an example of intact unity. India has been the land of culture and rituals. Rigveda was composed here in 2500 BC. Maharishi Patanjali was the father of Yoga. Yoga is thousands of years old method. Today’s people’s representatives are making Indian culture a part of politics by misusing these old cultures under the guise of religion. India needs Gandhi’s Ram Rajya. Political parties take the support of Ram Rajya to garner votes. Ram Rajya signifies the efforts and rule of Lord Ram. Lord Shri Ram was the symbol of tolerance. Shriram was the symbol of truth. That’s why Lord Shri Ram had established Ramrajya. Today political parties have made Lord Shri Ram, Shri Krishna, Shri Hanuman, Muhammad Prophet, Jesus Christ etc. the basis of their vote bank. Therefore now the kingdom of Rama has fallen.

Today there is talk of making a self-reliant India, and on the other hand, foreign companies and foreign goods have flooded India. Every institution is being privatised. Unemployment is increasing. The graph of suicides has increased. If we want to talk about self-reliance, independence, self-reliance, self-respect, then we have to imagine Gandhi’s Ramrajya. Therefore, we can say that self-reliance should be based on Gandhi’s concept of Ram Rajya. All political parties need to imbibe the thoughts of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. In fact India will be able to become self-reliant only then. No awareness is of any use without a self-reliant India. The goal of Meri Mati Mera Desh campaign cannot be achieved without self-reliance.
