UP Youth Launch 'Rang De Basanti' Campaign

The 'Rang De Basanti' campaign is set to launch in Uttar Pradesh from August 11 to 14, ahead of Independence Day.

The campaign, launched by a youth organisation, aims to provide a platform for young people to express themselves creatively and convey a positive message against those spreading mafia rule and a culture of fear.

Under the themes #RangDeBasanti and #WohDarBhoolnaNahi, young people in various cities across the state will express themselves through poetry, art, music, and dialogue.

The campaign's core message is 'brushes instead of guns, dialogue instead of fear', and it will place creativity and the voices of young people at the centre.

The statewide campaign will begin on August 11 in Prayagraj with a poetic protest against those promoting a criminal culture.

Young poets will perform on a university campus to convey a creative message against mafia rule and hooliganism.

This will be followed by a graffiti wall event in Lucknow on August 12, where city artists will live-paint public murals based on the influence of the mafia.

Through this initiative, art will be used as a medium of social expression.

After Lucknow, a comic distribution and dialogue programme will be held in Muzaffarnagar on August 13.

A comic based on communal harmony will be distributed, while dialogue sessions with young people will be organised in schools.

On August 14, on the eve of Independence Day, the campaign song 'Dar Se Azadi' will be launched across the state.

The event will also bring together rap, music, and digital art.

The 'Rang De Basanti' campaign is an attempt to reject a culture of fear and pressure while providing young people with a platform for expression, creativity, and dialogue.

This campaign is significant as it uses creative expression as a means to convey a positive message and promote communal harmony.

The campaign's focus on youth and creativity makes it a unique initiative in the state, and its message is likely to resonate with young people across Uttar Pradesh.

As the state celebrates Independence Day, the 'Rang De Basanti' campaign serves as a reminder of the importance of promoting a culture of peace, harmony, and creativity.
