Respect for Maharana Pratap ji 🙏. His life teaches us about sacrifice and fighting for what's right. If our current leaders can take even 1% of that inspiration to work honestly for the people, Bihar will surely progress. The focus should be on his message, not political comparisons.

"Servant of Bihar" is a nice title, but actions speak louder than words. We need to see more concrete development on the ground - better roads, schools, and jobs. Celebrating history is fine, but don't forget the present challenges facing the state.

I appreciate the emphasis on social harmony. In today's times, we need to remember figures who united people. Maharana Pratap's legacy is for all Indians, not just one community. More such events should be promoted in schools and colleges.

As someone living in Patna for work, it's interesting to see local politics connect with medieval history. The narrative around historical figures is powerful. Hope the talk of social harmony translates into real inclusivity on the ground.

Good initiative. But honestly, these events often feel like political symbolism. Instead of just one-day programs, why not have year-round educational campaigns about our historical heroes? That would have a more lasting impact on the youth.
