In a stirring speech at Chittorgarh’s Jauhar tribute event, UP CM Yogi Adityanath condemned caste-driven politics as a direct assault on India’s core. Reciting Dinkar’s poetry, he contrasted true heroes who transcend caste with ‘cowardly brutes’ who exploit divisions for idle gain.
‘Society’s foundation cracked under casteism before, weakening the nation. Today, it threatens to drag us back to slavery,’ Yogi declared to the gathered crowd on Sunday at Enaani City Center. He called for collective unity to counter such divisive forces.
The program featured honors for distinguished individuals and the unveiling of former Punjab Governor VP Singh’s book. Yogi directly challenged perpetrators of caste rifts, rumor-mongering, and efforts to fracture national harmony. ‘These are the same who dismissed Ram and Krishna, allied against Ram Mandir, and now tarnish constitutional bodies to discredit India,’ he charged.
UP’s progress owes much to PM Modi’s vision and Chittorgarh’s valiant heritage, linked to Yogi’s own guru’s roots. This warrior land, with its forts, jauhars, and bhakti like Meera’s, defines India’s soul. Every patriot reveres Mewar’s Rana legacy.
Yogi invoked Maharana Pratap, Shivaji, Guru Gobind Singh—leaders whose sacrifices were for dharma and freedom, not thrones. He detailed Chittorgarh’s tragic jauhars against invaders’ treachery, from Khilji’s deceit causing Rani Padmini’s vow, mirroring Sita’s purity pledge.
In UP, his administration vows zero tolerance for atrocities on women. ‘In our 250 million-strong state, girls study and work fearlessly, returning home safe.’ He celebrated Maharana Sangha’s unyielding spirit despite grievous wounds and Pratap’s early resistance to Akbar.
Lord Ram earned divinity by purging evil; Rajasthan’s youth fueled Ayodhya’s temple triumph. Krishna protected the good while slaying tyrants. Freedom fighters like Lakshmibai (fallen at 27), Netaji (whose vision would have averted Pakistan), Savarkar, and Vivekananda’s Chicago proclamation unite us.
Chittorgarh evokes poetic pride: invaders vanished, but sanatan heroes’ lineages thrive. Women’s courage and self-respect burn eternally, ensuring India’s immortal ethos.
