Messages of determination and historical context

Shastri also referenced historical incidents, saying, “On November 7, 1966, in Delhi, bullets were fired at saints and cows. We cannot take revenge, but we can say that no matter what happens, saints cannot be destroyed. This is a journey to end casteism and promote brotherhood among Hindus.”

He urged participants to take pledges such as: “Hindus will remain united, will not allow religious conversion, will not practice untouchability, and will not forgive anyone who tries to harm our unity.”

The padayatra, spanning three states over ten days, is designed to instill unity among Hindus, promote Sanatan values, foster patriotism, and spread a message of collective responsibility and peace.
