Bharat Jodo Yatra (eBook, ePUB)

Reclaiming India's Soul

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This is the definitive account of the Bharat Jodo Yatra, the epic 4,000-kilometre nationwide march from September 2022 to January 2023 under the stewardship of Rahul Gandhi, Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha) and former President of the Indian National Congress. This book is a comprehensive map of the why, what and how of this Herculean undertaking. Going beyond the symbolic, it strives to capture the aspirations and reflections of the yatris and organizers, and the eminent Indians who joined the Yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. In doing so, it also attempts to understand and embrace India's vast diversities.

This book highlights the many layers of meaning underpinning the Yatra. 'Bharat Jodo' meant different things to different people, and therefore had multiple social, economic, political and cultural meanings-which a galaxy of India's foremost academics, activists, politicians and citizens from all walks of life speak to. But what connects these diverse meanings is that the Yatra was primarily a clarion call to all patriots to reclaim our collective humanity, and hence India's soul.
