"Veer Bhumi" is the perfect name. The bravery of Rajasthan's people, from Rani Padmini to the soldiers today, is legendary. But on this day, I hope the focus is also on solving real issues like water scarcity and farmer distress. Jai Rajasthan!
As someone who visited last year, the culture is absolutely breathtaking. The hospitality, the food, the music – it's an experience. Wishing the people of Rajasthan all the best on their Foundation Day!
Good to see greetings from CMs of other states too. This is what 'Unity in Diversity' looks like. Rajasthan's contribution to India's textile, handicraft, and tourism industry is massive. Here's to 'Developed Rajasthan 2047'!
While the messages are nice, I wish there was more substance. Foundation Day should be about reflecting on the journey since 1949 - the progress in education, infrastructure, and where we still lag. The glorious history is a given, but what about the roadmap for the future?
Proud to be from this land of warriors and artists! The mention of 'human values' by the CM is key. The 'padharo mhare des' spirit is what makes Rajasthan special. Let's preserve that while marching towards development. Jai Hind, Jai Rajasthan!
