Lucknow. Slogans play an important role in politics. Impactful slogans guarantee the victory of political parties. In the country, the slogans that started with ‘Roti, Kapda and Makaan’ have reached ‘Bantege to Katenge’ through Tilak, Scales and Sword. You can estimate how much further there is to go or what the mottos of the future will be.
The discussion on the ‘Bantege to Katenge’ slogan given by CM Yogi intensified when this slogan was approved by RSS chief Dattatreya Hosabale. This BJP slogan was countered by Samajwadi Party leader Shivpal Singh Yadav and the UP party. Shivpal said whoever talks like this will be beaten later, SP linked him with Hindu-Muslim unity. In the cacophony of these political slogans, one also remembers the British government’s slogans that said never forget one thing, divide and conquer, divide and conquer.
Shivpal is threatening
BJP spokesperson Rakesh Tripathi says the threat is the basic character of the Samajwadi Party. Before the elections, Mukhtar Ansari’s son had also said something similar. Today says Shivpal Yadav. The public will teach a lesson. He said that democracy does not work through threats. The characteristic of SPs is that they first scare and then threaten. The public has understood and rejected SP.
Are Hindus divided?
Sociologists have expressed their opinions on this issue. Sabjwari says that this statement is also a statement given in the context of statements that CM Yogi Adityanath is known for, which is not appropriate for social harmony. According to DK Tripathi, this statement was not necessary. Hindus are not divided nor do they think like that.
Unity among Hindus is necessary
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had said in a public meeting that if we are divided, we will be divided. After this statement of Yogi, opposition parties started criticizing her, but RSS supported her. RSAS said that this statement means that there is a need to achieve unity among Hindus. Only after this statement by RSS did the matter gain momentum. Strong reactions to the slogan began to emerge. Bageshweer Baba was not going to remain silent either. He supported the slogan and said that Hindus are not united today. If there is any crisis in the religion of any country in the world, then people of any religion go to their country. But there is no country for Hindus. That is why it is important for Hindus to unite.
The slogans that changed things
Jai Shri Ram
Jai Shri Ram is an expression that means glory to Lord Ram or victory for Lord Ram. It is used by people of the Hindu religion as an informal greeting, as a symbol of the Hindu faith or to express feelings related to different religions.
Simon returns
This motto was coined by Yusuf Meherali, a native of Mumbai district in Maharashtra. This slogan was against the Statutory Commission of India i.e. Simon Commission. At the time there were no Indian members on the Commission, leading nationalists to feel that Indians were not capable of having a constitutional vision for their country.
food, clothing and shelter
Whether it’s movies or politics. This slogan has been greatly exploited. Previously, social life revolved around food, clothing and housing. That is why films were made on this topic and many political speeches were also given.
Indira, India will remember your sacrifice.
This slogan became fashionable after the death of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Congress used this slogan for a long time.
tilak and sword scales
This slogan was coined by Kanshi Ram, the founder of the Bahujan Samaj Party. This slogan was given to find its political ground among the Dalits. This slogan brought the Bahujan Samaj Party to power and Mayawati became chief minister of UP three times.
‘This is a question of the future’
Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati says that Hindu society is an organized society. He said that the first thing about the motto ‘Bantenge to Katenge’ is that the verb in this motto is in the future tense. That means we are not divided yet. Now we are one. It is a question of the future whether we will divide or not. Swami Avimakteshwaranand Saraswati said that the leaders will have to say what will be the reason why we will be divided.
Slogan before the by-elections: “If you divide, you will be cut”
Sociologist Professor DK Tripathi says the slogan ‘Bantege to Katenge’ emerged just before the by-elections to be held in UP and has political significance. He says that the BJP always does polarization politics. The BJP has faced a crushing defeat in the Lok Sabha elections in UP. Everyone knows that the backward vote joined the Indian alliance, so the BJP had to lose 35 seats. This time the BJP wants to win these seats at any cost. He also said that we are not culturally divided. Our country is governed by the Constitution. There is no religion in a country where there is democracy. Religion is our personal matter, we have to take into account the Constitution. The Constitution has given equal rights to all, so why would we be divided?
