Patriotism in every bite: 'Sindoor' mango launched to salute soldiers and PM Modi

Bihar farmer creates 'Sindoor Mango' honoring Operation Sindoor and Indian Army's triumph, inspired by national pride

"This mango is not just some fruit, it's a message of victory, pride, and the sweetness of national unity - Ashok Chaudhary"

Bhagalpur, May 24

As the nation celebrates the success of Operation Sindoor, a farmer in Bihar has found a sweet and symbolic way to honour the moment — by naming a mango after the operation. Meet Ashok Chaudhary, popularly known as “Mango Man” of Maheshi Tilakpur, Sultanpur, Bhagalpur, whose orchard is now home to a new mango variety called ‘Sindoor’.

This is a tribute to the Indian Army and a gesture of respect towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Known for his creativity and patriotic spirit, Ashok Chaudhary has long combined his love for mangoes with national pride. In 2014, when Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister, Ashok named a mango variety Modi 1, which quickly gained popularity for its rich taste and unique appeal. It was followed by Modi 2 in 2019 and Modi 3 in 2024, with versions named Modi Green and Modi Rangin — colourful, vibrant, and full of flavour, just like the themes they represent.

Now, in 2025, as India celebrates the triumph of Operation Sindoor against terrorism, Ashok has introduced ‘Sindoor Mango’ to mark the occasion. “This mango is not just some fruit, it's a message of victory, pride, and the sweetness of national unity,” he said. The Sindoor mango is described as extremely sweet and flavourful, and carries the emotional essence of India’s spirit.

Ashok’s orchard, Madhuban, is already famous for its colourful and exotic mangoes, many of which are named after national events, personalities, and missions. With Sindoor, he aims to bring a taste of patriotism to every household.

Ashok’s dream is to have the Sindoor mango served to Prime Minister Modi and Indian Army personnel, much like the renowned Zardalu mango of Bihar, which has reached Rashtrapati Bhavan in the past.

“This is my salute to the courage of our jawans and the leadership of our Prime Minister,” he said with pride.

Through mangoes, Ashok Chaudhary is not just cultivating fruit — he’s cultivating respect, remembrance, and national pride.

What a beautiful gesture! 🥭 The Sindoor mango sounds delicious and meaningful. Farmers like Ashok ji show how patriotism can be expressed in the simplest yet sweetest ways. Jai Hind!

While I appreciate the sentiment, shouldn't we focus more on actual welfare schemes for soldiers rather than symbolic gestures? A mango won't help martyrs' families with education or healthcare.

Bihar's mangoes are already famous, and now they carry our national pride! Can't wait to taste this new variety. Maybe we should send some to our border posts as a morale booster for our jawans.

This reminds me of how our farmers are the backbone of India in more ways than one. Growing food and growing patriotism simultaneously! 👏 Hope these mangoes get GI tag recognition like Zardalu.

Naming fruits after political leaders sets a wrong precedent. What if tomorrow someone names a rotten fruit after an opposition leader? Let's keep agriculture and politics separate.

Hope this doesn't become another marketing gimmick. The real tribute would be if profits from these mangoes actually go to soldiers' welfare funds. Otherwise it's just empty symbolism.
