August 31, 2024
Shivaji’s legacy is undoubtedly significant in the context of Indian history, and the entire nation should do the celebration of his Jayanthi. Announcing February 19th as a HINDAVI SWARAJYA ABHIYAN DIWAS & National Holiday is a tribute to his contributions to the country.
Commencement of “NATIONAL HOLIDAY FOR NATIONAL HERO”
A great devotee of Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj always wanted to pay tribute to his God Shivaji Maharaj. He aspired to make a significant contribution to the legacy of Shivaji. To fulfill this ambition, he conceived the idea of advocating for the declaration of Shivaji Jayanti as a national holiday.
He is none other than Mr. CD Chavan. He is a self-made entrepreneur who has achieved great heights of success with hard work, determination and discipline. He is a person who greatly admires Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj wished to do something significant for the nation. He came up with the idea of declaring Shivaji Jayanti a national holiday as a gesture of respect and recognition for the revered leader.
> We invite volunteers across India to join our team as State In charges, District In charges, Committee Members to promote and actively work on our Mission.
> Our campaign got more than 1 lakh support who wants to work for Hindu Rashtra. But, we believe that our campaign “National Holiday for National Hero” and “Hindavi Swarajya Abhiyan Divas” is the 1st step towards achieving the Hindu Rashtra.
> Achieving a Hindu Rashtra is challenging without giving due recognition to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. He is Epitome of Swarajya and serves as an inspiration and guide toward Hindu Rashtra.
