Srinagar, Nov 01: Advising youth to stay disciplined and determined in shaping a united and progressive nation, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Saturday said that no matter the challenges, the journey of knowledge, peace and resolve must never stop.<\/p>\n

Addressing at the International Seminar \u201cRahi ki Virasat\u201d (The Legacy of Dr. Rahi Masoom Raza) the legendary writer, poet and thinker, LG Sinha, as per the news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said, \u201cI am pleased that this seminar has been organised to bring the thoughts and legacy of Rahi Masoom to life, much like the sacred flow from Gangotri to the earth.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor said that Dr Rahi Masoom Raza was undoubtedly one of the greatest writers of his time and earned a hallowed name for himself in India’s literary history.<\/p>\n

He said, Rahi\u2019s centenary year will begin on August 1, 2026, stating that his legacy is not confined to literature or films but represents a deep connection between the Ganga, Indian civilization and humanity. \u201cIf we remove Rahi from the essence of Ganga and Sanskrit, distortion will enter his legacy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Lt Governor recalled how Rahi never compromised with his principles, even during the Emergency. \u201cWhen many in Bollywood remained silent, Rahi Sahab raised his voice,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

LG Sinha said that Rahi\u2019s writings inspired the youth to introspect and act with sincerity. \u201cHe wrote, Nayi nasal humari nasal se peeche hai; hamare paas khwab nahi the, inke paas jhoothe khwab hain\u201d and through that he challenged the youth to find purpose beyond illusion,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Stressing the role of young people in shaping India\u2019s future, the Lt Governor said, \u201cWhatever happens, the journey must not stop. The youth have wings, but they must also have strength and discipline to continue the journey of peace and resolve. \u201cNo one should be allowed to break that spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that in recent years, a new consciousness has awakened across the country and every citizen wants to stand and contribute to \u2018Viksit Bharat\u2019. \u201cI appeal to writers, scholars and thinkers to take forward Rahi\u2019s legacy, to project the moral and cultural vision of India before the world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Lt Governor said India is now the world\u2019s fourth-largest economy and will soon become the third-largest. \u201cOur traditions have always valued unity and brotherhood, even as some people try to divide us on caste or religion. Such forces must be defeated by the collective will of our youth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He described Rahi Masoom Raza\u2019s contribution to Indian culture as timeless. \u201cRahi brought the Mahabharata closer to millions, even to those who never read it. His journey is one of truth, compassion and continuity and that journey must never stop,\u201d LG Sinha said, adding, \u201cRahi was deeply rooted in the spiritual and cultural traditions of the country and always believed in shared humanity that transcended Individual differences. He always promoted interconnectedness, inclusivity and peaceful coexistence and harmony among different faiths.”<\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor said that the tangible and intangible legacy of Raza is priceless and a beacon of light to young generations.<\/p>\n

“I believe the rich legacy of Dr. Rahi Masoom Raza will guide our society toward progress and prosperity by providing valuable ideas, ideals and fostering shared identity and social cohesion,” he added.<\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor highlighted numerous important tasks before society and the nation today and called for strong national identity and the revival of wisdom of our priceless heritage to spur all-round development.<\/p>\n

“Our cultural heritage can foster a collective identity, build resilience and solidarity among diverse groups to drive economic growth. We must learn from the past to gain self-confidence and let the historical lessons, wisdom, ideals guide us towards future opportunities for growth and innovation,” the Lieutenant Governor said.<\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor said, for holistic development, we must blend tradition with technology and focus on modern advancements in developmental journey to ensure equal opportunities to all.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur sole aim is to foster peace and prosperity to achieve the goal of Viksit Bharat,\u201d he further said.<\/p>\n
