Belongingness is the philosophy of Bharat; and there is no boundary of belongingness, said Governor Prof Ganeshi lal while releasing a book titled ‘Apratim Bharat’ (Unique Bharat) published by the Shri Bhagwat Pariwar, Mumbai, here on Friday. Belongingness from the heart is the foundation of love.
It is the unique feature of Bharat as well as of Odisha. “You can know Bharat by seeing Odisha. Belongingness is the main quality of Odia people,” he stated.
Virendra Yagnik of the Shri Bhagawat Pariwar (SBP) said that in the context of the present social scenario “Apratim Bharat’ would inspire the youth mass. SBP president SP Goel said, “We are thankful to the Kadambini Media and Dr Achyuta Samanta for the release of the book in Odisha”. State Odia language literature & Culture Director Bijay Kumar Nayak said this book must be acceptable among the masses.
Baba Ram Narayan Das said, “The name ‘Bharat’ came from the name ‘Bharat’, who had dedicated his whole life for his elder brother Shri Rama. We are happier when you say Bharat instead of India.” In his review, noted writer Asit Mohanty said, “In this book, We can get knowledge about our art, culture, spirituality, education, everything.”
Presiding over the programme, eminent writer Sitakant Mahapatra said ‘Apratim Bharat’ gives firsthand knowledge about Indian art, culture, tradition, spirituality, education from this book. KIIT & KISS and Kadambini founder Dr Achyuta Samanta delivered welcome address.
