JAMMU: Pawan Sharma, State Secretary, Bharatiya Janata Party, Jammu & Kashmir, today extended his heartfelt greetings to the people of the nation on the occasion of the Calendar New Year 2026. He wished everyone good health, peace, prosperity, and collective progress in the year ahead.
In his message, Pawan Sharma stated that while the calendar New Year is widely observed across the world, the time has now come for India to reaffirm its civilizational consciousness by officially declaring the Indian New Year in accordance with the Vikram Samvat calendar, which is rooted in India’s ancient, scientific, and time-tested system of chronology.
He emphasized that Vikram Samvat is not merely a traditional calendar but a scientifically evolved framework reflecting India’s profound knowledge of astronomy, mathematics, and natural cycles. Recognizing the Indian New Year as per this calendar would be a meaningful step toward honoring India’s cultural heritage, historical continuity, and rich intellectual legacy.
Pawan Sharma noted that such an initiative would not only strengthen national pride and cultural self-awareness but would also position India as a civilizational leader on the global stage—one that respects its ancient wisdom while confidently shaping its future. He added that India’s eternal time tradition has the potential to contribute significantly to global discourse on indigenous knowledge systems and sustainable civilizational practices.
On this occasion, Pawan Sharma humbly appealed to the Central Government and the country’s illustrious Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, to take meaningful and decisive steps in this direction. He expressed confidence that under the Prime Minister’s visionary leadership, India is steadily reclaiming its cultural roots and presenting them with pride and clarity before the world.
He further stated that officially declaring the Indian New Year according to the Vikram Samvat would strengthen India’s soul, reinforce its unique identity, and preserve its intellectual and cultural heritage for future generations.
Pawan Sharma also observed that the continued dominance of the English calendar in official and public life is a legacy of the colonial past, and a conscious transition toward India’s own calendrical system would symbolize true intellectual independence and cultural self-respect in a confident, modern India.
Concluding his statement, Pawan Sharma once again conveyed his New Year greetings to all citizens and expressed hope that the year 2026 would mark new milestones in India’s journey toward cultural renaissance, national unity, and the vision of a developed nation.
