On Thursday, a 70-year-old waste collector named Bhola Babulal Shinde in Indore turned the Tiranga Yatra into a Swachhata Mission. Thousands joined the procession from Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya campus to Rajiv Gandhi Square carrying the Tricolour. Amid the patriotic songs and festivities, Shinde quietly collected discarded plastic bottles along the roadside in a small handcart.
Despite being over 70 years old, Shinde continued his daily practice of collecting and selling waste. When asked why he was participating, Shinde simply stated that the country should be clean and he was doing his part. His contribution, though unnoticed, highlighted that patriotism can also be expressed through acts of care. After the Tricolor moved ahead, Shinde followed behind, carrying waste and a message of dignity, cleanliness, and responsibility.
