JAMMU: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State Secretary of Jammu & Kashmir, Pawan Sharma, today stated that India is experiencing an unprecedented cultural renaissance under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. He emphasized that the country’s deep-rooted civilizational values, heritage, and cultural identity are being rejuvenated on a global scale through focused policies, historic initiatives, and transformative governance.

In a pressnote, Sharma highlighted that Prime Minister Modi’s tenure has marked a decisive shift toward reclaiming India’s cultural heritage, strengthening national pride, and empowering communities to reconnect with timeless traditions.

He noted that landmark initiatives such as the restoration of ancient temples, promotion of Bharatiya art forms, revival of traditional crafts, and the global celebration of the International Day of Yoga have amplified India’s cultural footprint worldwide. “For the first time in decades, India’s spiritual legacy and cultural knowledge systems are receiving rightful global recognition,” he said.

Sharma added that infrastructural and cultural projects such as the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor, Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Statue of Unity, Kartarpur Corridor, redevelopment of prominent pilgrimage sites, and the rehabilitation of ancient temples in Kashmir reflect the government’s unwavering commitment to preserving India’s heritage for future generations. These initiatives, he said, have not only enriched cultural tourism but also generated livelihood opportunities for local artisans, performers, and traditional knowledge practitioners.

He also pointed to recent landmark events such as the unfurling of the Dharm Dhwaj at Ayodhya and the unveiling of a 77-meter statue of Bhagwaan Ram at Shree Samsthan Gokarn Partagali Jeevottam Math in Goa, describing them as symbols of India’s growing cultural self-confidence and spiritual resurgence.

Initiatives such as the Ramayana Circuit, Krishna Circuit and development works in Gaya that aim to help future generations stay connected to their roots.

Sharma further remarked that programs promoting Sanskrit, regional languages, and indigenous traditions have strengthened cultural unity and fostered renewed interest among youth. “Prime Minister Modi has inspired millions to rediscover their identity, understand their roots, and take pride in being inheritors of one of the world’s oldest civilizations,” he stated.

Lauding the public’s enthusiastic participation in cultural festivals, heritage walks, and celebrations across the nation, he said this collective awakening is a testament to a broader national resurgence. “What we are witnessing today is not just policy-driven change—it is a people-led cultural revival,” he asserted.

Expressing confidence that the momentum will continue, Sharma said that the BJP remains dedicated to furthering Prime Minister Modi’s vision of a culturally strong, spiritually enriched, and globally respected India.
