Governor urges citizens to live the poet’s ideals of unity and fairness
The Himachal Pradesh Governor says honoring poet‑patriot Ramdhari Singh Dinkar means embracing his vision of equality, national pride and social harmony.
When asked how best to honor the legacy of Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, the Governor of Himachal Pradesh didn’t point to statues or fan‑fare. Instead, he paused, looked thoughtful, and said the real homage lies in how we act every day.
‘Dinkar was more than a poet,’ he explained, his voice steady but warm. ‘He sang of a nation where every citizen, regardless of caste, creed or region, stands shoulder‑to‑shoulder. That spirit of equality and unabashed patriotism is his true gift to us.’
The governor recalled a line from Dinkar’s famous poem “Kurukshetra”: “Mere desh ki khushboo se, har nadi, har van mei bas gaya.” He suggested that this line isn’t just lyrical beauty—it’s a call to let the fragrance of the country permeate every heart.
He urged schools, colleges and community groups across Himachal to bring Dinkar’s verses into classrooms not merely as literature, but as a roadmap for civic responsibility. ‘When young minds understand that freedom comes with duty, we keep his dream alive,’ he added.
In a gentle aside, the governor admitted that his own family often recites Dinkar’s poetry during festivals, noting how the verses still spark lively debates at the dinner table. ‘It’s those small, everyday conversations that keep the flame burning,’ he smiled.
Concluding, he called on politicians, business leaders and ordinary citizens alike to practice the inclusivity Dinkar championed. ‘Let’s not just remember his words—let’s embody them,’ he said, inviting the state’s people to turn poetry into practice.
