@narendramodi I have often refrained from doing hero worship in politics, because Indian politics has been no less than a circus all these years. I have always appreciated what PM Modi and BJP have done/are doing for this country as a Bharatiya,

like the infra push, being the 5th biggest economy overtaking our colonisers and the one with no threat of recession. But as a Hindu, I've also criticised their spinelessness on incidents like farm laws, CAA, and the whole Nupur Sharma saga.

But looking at the visuals coming from the new parliament, the sengol, depicting the mighty Chola empire, being installed in the lok sabha, the overall atmosphere created by the event, it's been giving me goosebumps since the last 2 days or so.

All this just took me down the memory lane,
when I was in school, dad made me wear ashtagandha before going to school everyday. But barring a day or two, I always made sure I wiped it off before I reached my classroom/group of friends.

We have satyanarayan puja at my place every year. The next day mom used to send the prashad with me to distribute among my friends, and I remember either eating it all myself, or taking the whole thing back home, not being able to proudly distribute it.

I don't know where that mentality came from.
Maybe it had something to do with my introverted personality.
Coming back to the present, I've started to embrace this beautiful culture I've inherited.

From wiping off the ashtagandha, to proudly wearing a chandrakor almost daily, celebrating our festivals, celebrating the mighty Ram Mandir being constructed, after 500+ years of sacrifices and fights.

From reading about the Mughal Empire in school and feeling infuriated about why there's only half a page on Shivaji Maharaj, and nothing about Maharana Pratap, to hearing the news that the Mughals have been scrapped from the CBSE syllabus.

One can easily see a whole civilisation being revived, a civilisation being awakened. Gyanvapi is in the courts, Krishnajanmabhoomi is in the courts,
films like Kashmir files, Kerela story are being blockbusters, announced tax free in certain states, who would've thought?

Never before have I seen any PM proudly embracing this sanatan culture, but this guy? This guy goes to Kedarnath, meditates in a cave, goes on to do 'jirnoddhar' of Kashi Vishweshwar, Mahakaleshwar, openly chants 'Har Har Mahadev'.

The final nail in the coffin for me was the mural of the Akhanda Bharat in the new parliament.
I don't know about y'all, but i see the glimpses of an age old dream starting to become a reality.

I hope Bharat mata roars into her Amrit kaal just like the lions on the national emblem on top of the new parliament, fierce and mighty. This is Bharat's century, and I'm lucky to witness it.

I read this in a tweet, but i hope this comes true.
"It is our order that a Shiva devotee, will
rule this country like heavens are ruled"

Modi ji, from one Shiv Bhakt to another, I bow before you, because this greatest civilisation owes its very existence to you.
