Madhya Pradesh’s education landscape is witnessing a unique campaign where the acclaimed film ‘Shatak’ is being screened for students to foster ties with RSS principles. Organizations linked to RSS and BJP are at the forefront, capitalizing on the government’s tax-free status for the movie.
Celebrating RSS’s 100 years since inception in 1925, ‘Shatak’ is a riveting documentary highlighting selfless service and national devotion. Ajay Devgn’s commanding narration brings to life freedom fighters including Savarkar, Gandhi, Patel, and Bose, enhanced by cutting-edge AI visuals and graphics crafted by producer Veer Kapoor.
In one notable event in Satna, 300 eager students filled a cinema hall courtesy of Madhurima Seva Sanskriti Sansthan. Post-screening buzz revealed their awe at RSS’s role in India’s turbulent history—from independence battles to societal rebuilding.
Institute head Dr. Swapna Verma shared her vision: ‘Children are our torchbearers. Films like this transform lives, awakening duties towards nation and community. Everyone must watch it to grasp RSS’s monumental 100-year impact.’
CM Mohan Yadav’s attendance with BJP stalwarts underscores official backing. Similar drives in other districts aim to instill values of sacrifice and unity. While some view it as ideological outreach, supporters argue it’s vital history lessons for the digital generation. ‘Shatak’ is not just a film; it’s a movement rekindling youth enthusiasm for cultural nationalism.
