Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that language and culture naturally complement each other. Culture enriches language with the seeds of stories that shape both folk and world literature, while language provides culture with an expressive form that preserves traditions across generations. Both language and culture serve as custodians of one another. He stated that literature possesses a single essence, the essence of emotion and joy. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav stated that Hindi is truly the language of the people and is as precious as the adornment worn on our foreheads. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Hindi has become a symbol of India’s identity on the global stage.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav explained that our culture has never been about dominance but about dignity and a sense of universal brotherhood. Indian culture is imbued with the noble spirit of ‘live and let live’, which is why it is unique and recognised worldwide. On Friday, while addressing literary figures at Rabindra Bhawan, he warmly welcomed writers, artists and youth from across the globe to Madhya Pradesh for the grand literary and arts festival ‘Vishwarang 2025 Tagore International Literature and Arts Festival’. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav stated that Madhya Pradesh’s creative and artistic landscape has become a bridge connecting the Hindi language and Indian culture, and Bhopal is now a hub of Indian culture, language consciousness and international literary exchange.
Vishwarang is being attended by delegates from multiple countries, featuring sessions, poetry readings, panel discussions, art exhibitions, and cultural presentations. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav was presented with the Vishwarang catalogue, a Hindi guide and a set of books. The Chief Minister described literature as a deep, continuous pursuit and writers as experimental seekers who craft words of lasting impact through their creativity, thought and imagination. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav described literature and the arts as mirrors of society, stating that platforms like Vishwarang help nurture creativity and sensitivity in the younger generation. He recalled that the philosophy of Rabindranath Tagore, with its universal outlook, continues to spread messages of dialogue, harmony and humanity worldwide. He said, “The Vishwarang platform unites literature, arts, music and culture, nurturing indigenous creativity and underscoring unity within diversity.
