Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate the inaugural Bodoland Mahotsav tomorrow in New Delhi. This two-day mega event will focus on celebrating the language, literature, and culture of the Bodo community, with the overarching goal of sustaining peace and fostering a Vibrant Bodo Society.
Objective of the Mahotsav
The Mahotsav aims to create stronger connections between the indigenous Bodo people living not just in Bodoland but also across other regions such as Assam, West Bengal, Nepal, and areas along the international borders of North East India. The focus is to integrate these communities and celebrate their shared cultural heritage.
Theme of the Mahotsav
The central theme of the Mahotsav is “Peace and Harmony for Prosperous Bharat“. The event will highlight the rich culture, language, and education of the Bodo community, alongside other communities from the Bodoland Territorial Region. It will also spotlight the cultural and linguistic heritage, ecological biodiversity, and the touristic potential of the region.
Celebrating the Bodo Peace Accord
The event will also commemorate the remarkable journey of recovery and resilience since the Bodo Peace Accord was signed in 2020, under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi. This peace agreement successfully resolved decades of conflict and violence in Bodoland and has acted as a catalyst for additional peace settlements across the region.
Audience and Participation
The Mahotsav is expected to witness the participation of over 5,000 cultural, linguistic, and art enthusiasts from various parts of India and beyond, including regions like Assam, West Bengal, Tripura, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, and many other parts of India.
