Rajya Sabha MP and former Deputy Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Dr Dinesh Sharma, unveiled the book Amiya by veteran journalist and author Narendra Bhadauria during a grand ceremony at Gomti Nagar, Lucknow.
Dr Sharma described the book as a ‘mirror to the realities of human life’, highlighting that a true writer’s strength lies in creating curiosity in every line.
He observed that changing demographics and modern lifestyles have distanced people from the spirit of family and collective living.
In today’s age of commercial thinking, individuals have become more self-centred, losing touch with India’s deep-rooted cultural and familial values.
Through literature like Amiya, society can become aware of these imbalances and rediscover the richness of its traditions.
Speaking about Bhadauria’s literary journey, Dr Sharma noted that his writings are steeped in patriotism and guide readers towards a truthful understanding of India’s history.
He emphasised that Bhadauria’s works highlight the nation’s struggles and resilience, challenging distorted narratives by certain historians who portrayed India’s past as one of servitude.
Dr Sharma remarked that despite centuries of invasions and oppression—burning manuscripts, destroying temples, and attacking symbols of faith—India’s culture and spirituality remained unbroken.
Bhadauria’s pen, he said, celebrates this undying spirit and reminds readers that India’s history is one of courage and preservation, not subjugation.
Cultural Reflections & Family Value
The event was graced by several distinguished personalities, including RSS Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukh Swant Ranjan, Joint Regional Prachar Pramukh Kripashankar, Divya Prem Seva Sansthan founder Ashish Ji, and senior pracharak Virendra Ji.
During their addresses, they highlighted how modern societies, especially in the West, have weakened familial bonds due to commercialisation.
Referring to an American study, they noted that children should ideally grow up with their grandparents—a tradition long upheld in Indian culture but now fading with the rise of nuclear families and urban pressures.
Speakers underscored that India’s joy of living lies in its culture and values, which emphasise family, spirituality, and community.
They called for a revival of the traditional systems that foster unity and compassion.
In his address, Dr Sharma advocated strengthening institutions like RSS shakhas to instil discipline and nationalism among citizens.
He stressed that every Sanatani should share common spaces—one temple, one well, one cremation ground—to eliminate social divides and reinforce unity.
Other speakers, including Swant Ranjan Ji, Kripashankar Ji, Ashish Ji, Shashi Ji, Prof Priyanka Singh, educationist Manmohan Tiwari, MLA Amit Singh, Dr Poonam Ji, and programme coordinator Venu Ranjan Bhadauria, praised Amiya for its deep philosophical insights and contribution to social awareness.
The event concluded with an appeal to strengthen the vision of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ (Self-Reliant India) through the principles of Swadeshi, cultural integrity, and literary enlightenment.
