Uttar Pradesh: Prayagraj Launches 'Rang De Basanti' Campaign To Engage Gen Z Through Poetry & Art Against Fear Culture

Prayagraj, India's literary capital, has launched the Rang De Basanti campaign to connect with the youth, specifically Gen Z, and express their thoughts through poetry and art. The initiative, which will continue in various cities across Uttar Pradesh until August 14, aims to counter the culture of fear and intimidation and provide a platform for creative expression.

The campaign, initiated at Prayagraj's Hindustani Academy, was attended by eight young poets who are skilled in Veer Ras and Ojas Ras poetry. The event was chaired by noted lyricist Dr Vinamra Sen Singh, and international storyteller Acharya Shantanu Ji Maharaj was the chief guest. The campaign will extend to Lucknow, Muzaffarnagar, and culminate on the eve of Independence Day with the launch of the anthem "Dar Se Azadi" (Freedom from Fear).

This effort, part of a broader initiative, seeks to engage the younger generation in a positive and creative manner, fostering dialogue and understanding.
