Mr Ramesh Shinde, the National Spokesperson of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) was presented ‘Sanskritik Yoddha Puraskar 2023’ by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and former Speaker of the Lok Sabha, Sumitra Mahajan. The award carries a memento and Rs one lakh. The award presentation ceremony was held at Gautam Buddha University, in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh by ‘Save Culture Save India’ Foundation. Mr Uday Mahurkar, the founder of ‘Save India Save Culture’ and Central Information Commissioner, was also present on the stage. Based on the activities, viz. legally fighting against those who looked down upon the country and Indian culture; exposing the anti-National and anti-social attitude of artist M F Hussain and Dr Zakir Naik, and writing books about the protection of Indian culture, Mr Ramesh Shinde was selected for the award.
Honourable Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath released a short film titled ‘Kripaya Dhyan De’ that exposes people who are destroying the life of the younger generation in this country by creating perverted literature. CM Yogi ji said that Indians were oppressed for many years by the British and the Mughals, however, Indians gave an apt answer to them when they started attacking Indian culture and our temples. Indians have never tolerated attacks on their culture. Presently, there are attacks on culture through digital media. Recently, Uttar Pradesh Police unearthed a case of conversions through ‘gaming Apps’. Everyone knows the incident of a girl drawn in a ‘Love Trap’ and the way she was murdered later. Uttar Pradesh first passed a law in this regard, but it is necessary to create awareness in every family towards these matters.
The Spokesperson of ‘Hindu Front for Justice’ and Supreme Court Advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, who has been fighting for protection of Indian culture was the other recipient of this award. In all, 7 personalities were presented ‘Sanskritik Yoddha Puraskar 2023’ including film producer Pravin Chaturvedi, journalists Swati Goyal Sharma, Pradeep Bhandari, Vaishali Shah, Sanjeev Newar and Manish Bardiya.
