The country has got a new parliament building. Prime Minister Narendra Modi dedicated it to the nation on 28 May. With this, the design of the new Parliament, the theme of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha and the symbols depicted in it started being discussed. But if you try to understand these symbols, then you will see a clear glimpse of the policies of the Modi government, which reflects from cultural heritage to economic development, economic reform and internal security.
Sengol has been installed in the Lok Sabha in the new parliament. This symbol associated with the culture of the Chola Empire is a symbol of the transfer of power. At the same time, pictures ranging from Akhand Bharat to Chanakya, Samudra Manthan and Bhimrao Ambedkar have also been engraved on the walls of the new parliament. But the most talked about theme of Lok Sabha is 'Peacock' and the theme of Rajya Sabha is 'Kamal'. Both of these are the 'national symbols' of India. After all, what could be the meaning of these symbols.
What is the meaning of 'Peacock' theme?
Lok Sabha has been designed with peacock theme. Peacock is the national bird of India. If we understand its symbolic importance, then peacock is the symbol of 'beauty' in Indian culture. But it has other meanings too. Peacock is also a symbol of 'courage and valour'. At the same time, it is also the vehicle of Lord Kartikeya who was the commander of the army of gods, that is, it is also a symbol of being victorious. While the peacock is also associated with Lord Krishna, who has been considered skilled in all kinds of politics and diplomacy.
Now if this symbol is linked to the policies of the Modi government, then the central government is running a 'Clean India' campaign across the country. Many religious places are being rejuvenated and beautified. Policies have been made to promote tourism across the country. While the Modi government is constantly focusing on internal security. India's aggressive stance towards Pakistan, efforts to make the army self-dependent and new defense deals one after the other show its security policy. Whereas in the matter of politics, the reflection of his continuous electoral victory is reflected in 'Peacock'.
What is the meaning of 'Kamal' theme?
The second discussion is also taking place regarding the 'lotus' theme of the Rajya Sabha. Opposition parties are calling it an attempt to impose BJP's election symbol, but 'lotus' is the national flower of India. In Indian culture, lotus has been associated with both Lakshmi and Saraswati. This shows the goal of the Modi government to make wealth creation, economic growth and education hub within the country. This shows how the government is working towards making the country a developed India in the next 25 years.
For wealth creation and economic growth, the Modi government has taken steps like promoting domestic manufacturing of GST, bankruptcy law, ease of doing business, Make in India, digital payments, logistics, highways and ports, semiconductors and electronic devices in the country. At the same time, 'Kamal' is also considered a symbol of knowledge and spirituality, for which the Modi government has brought a new education policy and has also popularized International Yoga Day. Along with this, the government is also working on increasing religious tourism in the country.
Why are sea churning and Chanakya important?
There is a lot of discussion about the artwork of 'churning of the ocean' in the new Parliament. In Indian culture, it is considered a symbol of attaining sufficiency and abundance and getting good fruit 'Amrit' by making continuous efforts. That is, it is a symbol of making continuous efforts to be full of wealth. This symbol reflects the economic reforms of the Modi government.
The Modi government has taken bold decisions on many occasions. This includes both economic and political decisions. Many times governments withdraw from reform programs due to uproar by opposition parties. But the Modi government has stuck to reforms leaving one or two chances. At the same time, it has tried to implement the policies by including all the stake holders.
Kashmir issue with GST and IBC law, triple talaq bill, privatization of government companies are examples of where the government is strong. At the same time, withdrawing from the Agricultural Law, Personal Data Protection Bill shows the real spirit of churning of the sea. Not only this, the Modi government has also tried to improve India's shine abroad. Putting forward his policies and 'India First' at the time of Russia and Ukraine war is the symbol of 'Chanakya' diplomacy, which is visible in the new Parliament.
