The slogan “Bharat Mata ki Jai” (Victory to Mother Bharat) is resounding in the air as part of the celebration of the 79th Independence Day. Everyone in the country feels proud to be the beloved child of Bharat Mata!
You can see how Bharat Mata is depicted in the picture of this article. In many places across India, statues of Bharat Mata have been installed. Bharat Mata is reverently worshipped by all her children.
So far, so good! Every national and religious sentiment is being honored here. The children are ready to give their lives for the sake of Bharat Mata, and many have willingly sacrificed their lives already.
Reading all the above, a question then naturally arises. If we are the children of Bharat Mata, don’t you think we have the right to know about our father or the husband of Bharat Maata?
Hence, the straightforward question: Who is our father?
