Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath lauds the Indian government's decision to adopt Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's symbol for the Indian Navy while emphasizing the disconnect with Mughal history. Speaking at a ceremony commemorating the 350th anniversary of Shivaji Maharaj's coronation, Yogi highlighted the influential figures in Shivaji's life, including his mother Jijabai and mentor Samarth Guru Ramdas, who inspired him to challenge Mughal rulers and foreign rule.
Yogi Adityanath draws parallels to Uttar Pradesh, citing Shivaji's coronation conducted by a priest from Kashi and poetic praises composed by Bhushan from Kanpur. He underlines India's vast and culturally rich history, stating that the current map only represents the political landscape, while the country's scriptures reveal an ancient and culturally diverse India.
The event witnessed the presence of several dignitaries, including UP minister Dharmapal Singh, former RSS Sarkaryavah Suresh Joshi, and Ashish Gautam, founder of Divya Seva Mission, among others. The Chief Minister's praise for Shivaji Maharaj's legacy and the adoption of his symbol for the Indian Navy reaffirms India's rich historical heritage and cultural identity.
