The Chief Minister emphasized the importance of always remembering and respecting our martyrs. He said that our nation will always be indebted and grateful to our brave soldiers and patriots who sacrificed their lives to protect the country, unity, and integrity.
The Chief Minister said that Emperor Hemchandra Vikramaditya was crowned in Delhi on October 7, 1556. Even though he ruled for a short period, his influential persona during centuries of Islamic empires is an important chapter in Indian history. In the village of Saundapur near Panipat, his statue still stands.
“Such great personalities are not only our invaluable heritage but also a source of inspiration for future generations. It is our responsibility to preserve and protect their legacy. Therefore, through the Sant Mahapurush Samman and Vichar Prasar Yojana, we are working to bring the messages of saints and great personalities to the masses, so that the younger generation can be inspired by their lives and guidance,” said Sh. Manohar Lal.
The Chief Minister highlighted the birthdays of great saints and personalities such as Lord Parashurama, Maharishi Kashyapa, Kabir Das, Maharishi Valmiki, Guru Gorakhnath, Dhanananda Bhagat, Jyotiba Phule, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, and Guru Ravidas Ji are celebrated at the state level. To honour these great personalities, many educational institutions in the state have been named after them. Such initiatives ensure that society and the nation remember and honour their martyrs and remain vigilant towards their welfare, he said.
He also stated that Emperor Hemchandra Vikramaditya is an invaluable heritage of Indian culture. He was a great leader whose journey from an ordinary person to an emperor is a source of pride and honour for us. It provides inspiration to our new generations to move forward in life with patriotism and courage, said Sh. Manohar Lal.
