A tribute to Shyamji Krishna Varma

Published By : Admin | October 3, 2016 | 20:24 IST

 

Shri Narendra Modi has always considered Shyamji Krishna Varma as one of his ideals and has sought to preserve his legacy in the hearts and minds of a billion Indians. In 2015, Shri Narendra Modi, during his visit to the UK, was handed over with the certificate of Shyamji Krishna Varma's reinstation at Inner Temple.

Shyamji Krishna Varma was a devout patriot and he also inspired several nationalists both in India and overseas. He was born on 4th October 1857 in Kutch.

GETTING HIS ASHES BACK:

Shyamji Krishna Varma left for his heavenly abode in 1930 with a dream that his ashes will return to his Motherland after it has attained freedom. India attained Independence in 1947 but the Government did nothing to fulfill this last dream of a man who devoted his life at the service of Bharat Mata.

In August 2003, Shri Narendra Modi, as the Chief Minister of Gujarat went to Switzerland and personally got back the ashes of Shri Shyamji Krishna Varma and his wife. This step was hailed by the people and especially the youth, who see Shri Shyamji Krishna Varma as a source of inspiration.

KRANTI TEERTH: IMMORTALIZING SHYAMJI KRISHNA VARMA

Shri Modi envisioned a place where the memory of Shri Shyamji Krishna Varma could be brought to life so that the people of this country can get further inspired to know about this great revolutionary. That is when the idea of Kranti Teerth came up.

As the Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone of the memorial on 4th October 2009 and dedicated it to the nation on 13th December 2010. Recreating the life and times of Shri Krishna Varma, Kranti Teerth is home to many memorial exhibits paying tributes to the heroes of our freedom struggle. India House, which holds a special place in the history of India’s freedom struggle, has been recreated at Kranti Teerth.

EPITOME OF PATRIOTISM AND INSPIRATION TO MANY

Shri Shyamji Krishna Varma was the epitome of patriotism and his devotion to Bharat Mata knew no boundaries. His ideals made him a source of inspiration and he ignited the flame of patriotism among many revolutionaries. Among those who were deeply influenced by him were Shri Veer Savarkar, Shri Madanlal Dhingra and Lala Hardayal.

NEVER SERVE THE BRITISH!

Sharing an anecdote about Shyamji Krishna Varma, Shri Modi said that he was someone who helped many people but his only precondition was- you shall not serve under the British! Despite being miles away from India, his passion and Bhakti towards Bharat Mata remained unblemished till his very last breath.

PRESENT TRUE HISTORY OF INDIA’s FREEDOM STRUGGLE: SHRI MODI

Time and again, Shri Narendra Modi has spoken about the need to present the true history of India’s freedom struggle. This distortion has happened because some of us are still stuck in the colonial mindset while for some this nation is nothing beyond a piece of land. Similarly, he has stressed on the need to move beyond viewing history in the prism of the sacrifices and glories of only one family.

Today, as we breathe the air of freedom and liberty let us not forget the likes of Shyamji Krishna Varma, who devoted an entire life towards creating an India where its people can walk with their heads high and where there is no room for any kind of injustice or foreign subjugation!

Addressing the gathering, he emphasized that today marks the beginning of new responsibilities for these youth in different departments of the Government of India.

The Prime Minister underscored that the sincerity with which they fulfill their responsibilities will have a positive impact on India's journey towards becoming a developed nation. Expressing confidence, he stated that these young individuals will carry out their duties with utmost dedication.

“The foundation of any nation's progress and success lies in its youth, when the youth actively participate in nation-building, the nation experiences rapid development and establishes its identity on the global stage”, emphasised Shri Modi. “India's youth are showcasing their immense potential to the world through their hard work and innovation”, he further highlighted, stating that the government is ensuring, at every step, that employment and self-employment opportunities for the country's youth continue to grow. He pointed out that initiatives like Skill India, Startup India, and Digital India are creating new opportunities for the youth. Through these campaigns, the government is providing an open platform for India's youth to showcase their talents. Shri Modi noted that as a result of these efforts, in this decade, India's youth have propelled the nation to the forefront in the fields of technology, data, and innovation. He highlighted the success of digital platforms like UPI, ONDC, and GeM (Government e-Marketplace), which demonstrate how the youth are leading transformative changes in the digital economy. He further remarked that India now leads the world in real-time digital transactions, and a significant share of this achievement is credited to the youth.

“The Manufacturing Mission announced in this budget, aims at promoting the 'Make in India' initiative and providing India's youth with opportunities to create globally standardized products. This initiative will not only support millions of MSMEs and small entrepreneurs across the country but will also open up new employment opportunities nationwide”, remarked the Prime Minister, adding that this is an unprecedented time of opportunities for India's youth. He noted that the IMF recently stated that India will remain the world's fastest-growing economy. He emphasized that this growth has multiple facets, with the most significant being the increase in job opportunities across all sectors in the coming days. The Prime Minister pointed out that in recent times, the automobile and footwear industries have achieved new records in production and exports, creating substantial employment opportunities for the youth. He also highlighted that, for the first time, products from Khadi and Village Industries have surpassed a turnover of ₹1.70 lakh crore, generating millions of new jobs, especially in rural areas. He remarked on the recent achievement in Inland Water Transport, noting that before 2014, only 18 million tons of cargo were moved annually through Inland Water Transport. This year, cargo movement has exceeded 145 million tons. He attributed this success to India's consistent policy-making and decision-making in this direction. The Prime Minister highlighted that the number of National Waterways in the country has increased from just 5 to over 110 and the operational length of these waterways has grown from approximately 2,700 kilometers to nearly 5,000 kilometers. He stressed that these achievements are creating new opportunities for the youth across the nation.

He noted that entertainment startups will have the chance to connect with investors and industry leaders, making it the largest platform to present their ideas to the world. He emphasized that youth will gain exposure to AI, XR, and immersive media through various workshops organized during the event. “WAVES will energize India's digital content future”, he added. He lauded the inclusivity of India's youth, highlighting that every section of society is contributing to the nation's achievements. He remarked that daughters of India are leading the way, citing the recent UPSC results where the top two positions were secured by women, and three out of the top five toppers were women. “Women are reaching new heights in fields ranging from bureaucracy to space and science. Our government is focused on empowering rural women through initiatives like Self-Help Groups, Bima Sakhis, Bank Sakhis, and Krishi Sakhis, which have created new opportunities”, said Shri Modi. He further noted that thousands of women are now working as Drone Didis, ensuring prosperity for their families and villages, adding that over 90 lakh Self-Help Groups are active in the country, involving more than 10 crore women. To strengthen these groups, the government has increased their budget fivefold and introduced a provision for collateral-free loans of up to ₹20 lakh. Shri Modi highlighted that women are the largest beneficiaries of the Mudra Yojana and noted that over 50,000 startups in the country have women as directors. He remarked that such transformative changes across sectors are strengthening India's resolve for development and creating more opportunities for employment and self-employment.

Addressing the youth who received their employment letters today, the Prime Minister underlined that the positions achieved by individuals are a result of their hard work and dedication. He stressed that it is now time to dedicate the next phases of their lives not only to themselves but also to the nation. He highlighted that the spirit of public service must remain paramount.

Remarking that when individuals reach positions of responsibility, their duties and roles as citizens become even more significant, Shri Modi emphasized the need for awareness in this direction. He highlighted the ongoing campaign, ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam,’ and encouraged everyone to plant a tree in their mother's name as a gesture of gratitude and service to nature. He urged individuals to involve more people in this campaign at their workplaces. Noting that the International Yoga Day, coming up in June, is a great opportunity to begin a healthy life alongside a successful career, he emphasized that health is not only essential for individuals but also crucial for work efficiency and the nation's productivity. The Prime Minister encouraged individuals to utilize the Mission Karmayogi initiative to enhance their capabilities. He stated that the purpose of their roles is not merely to hold positions but to serve every citizen of India and contribute to the nation's progress. Recalling the mantra of ‘Nagrik Devo Bhava,’ shared on Civil Services Day, and emphasizing that serving citizens is akin to divine worship, Shri Modi concluded by expressing confidence that with sincerity and dedication, India will become a developed and prosperous nation. He urged the youth to work for achieving the dreams and aspirations of 140 crore Indians.
