Etcherla BJP MLA N. Eswara Rao on Friday led a Har Ghar Tiranga rally covering over 30 villages in four mandals of his constituency in Srikakulam district, ahead of Independence Day. The MLA told media that the event helped youngsters learn about the sacrifices of freedom fighters and inspired them to work towards a developed India by 2047.
Rao urged students to read Indian freedom struggle history and biographies of national figures. He credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for making every Indian proud through development over the past 12 years. The MLA appealed to villagers to hoist the national flag on August 15 and involve young people in celebrations, as reported by The Hindu.
Patriotic rallies can remind citizens of the freedom struggle, but this one risks becoming a platform for ruling-party messaging when the MLA frames national pride around one leader's tenure. The challenge is to separate genuine historical awareness from political allegiance. Will non-party organisations hold similar events next year that focus solely on the martyrs, not the ministers?
