Merger Of Amar Jawan Jyoti With Eternal Flame: A Perspective Change In Paying Homage To Martyred

Snehashish RoyJanuary 22, 20220

The half-a-century old memories of the iconic Amar Jawan Jyoti, burning beneath the arches of the India Gate, have been thwarted after it was ceremonially extinguished. The desacralization of the flame that had burned in honour of the fallen soldiers since 1972 is an uncharitable move by the ruling BJP to meddle with India's complex history and demolish the material markers of its history. The ruling BJP party, the evident subsidiary of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), has time and again proved itself to tactically bring about a tectonic shift to intrude into the Indian psyche and evoke the pristine past of Hindutva.
