Celebrating Freedom, Faith, and Literature

His words struck an emotional chord with the audience, blending wisdom, humility, and inspiration.

CMD Rai held an insightful discussion with Dr Anand Pradhan, Sameer Chatterjee, Manoj Rai, and Abhinav Arun.

They explored Ghazipur’s significant role in India’s freedom movement and military history.

The conversation honoured the region’s unsung heroes who contributed silently yet powerfully to the nation’s struggle for independence.

He reflected on the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela, linking them with the spiritual philosophies of Mahavir and Buddha.

CMD Rai said true freedom comes from liberating the soul, achieving inner awakening, harmony, and self-realisation.

His perspective revealed the depth of Indian consciousness and its timeless relevance in the modern world.

The festival hosted a grand book fair that attracted a large crowd of readers, writers, and admirers.

CMD Upendra Rai, along with Bharat Express CEO Varun Kohli, Social Media Head Pooja Chaubey, and several senior officials, attended the event.

Visitors eagerly clicked pictures and engaged in lively conversations, turning the fair into a space buzzing with intellectual energy.

The book fair reaffirmed that literature extends beyond pages; it is a living dialogue about society, culture, and freedom.

CMD Rai’s inspiring presence turned the Ghazipur Literature Festival into a bridge between the past and the present.

It beautifully blended tradition with thought and spirituality with expression.

As the curtains fell on GLF 2025, one message resonated deeply: books continue to shape minds, awaken souls, and remind us of the values that define our shared humanity.

I report stories and occasionally rescue facts from chaos. By profession, I’m a journalist; by conviction, a social worker who believes words should move people, not just headlines. I question power, celebrate ordinary heroes, and sometimes irritate the comfortable. If truth had a shift, I’d probably be working overtime.
