What makes India the MOST-HAPPENING place is not its 1.4++ billion people or the billion TV channels and parties crying hoarse on every topic from sea scum to sheeshmahal. It is the everyday phenomenon of newer and newer discoveries of older and greater symbols of our Dharmic civilisation that people in denial cannot accept.
The Sengol is the latest example. While Nehru and family took away the Sengol handed over to him amidst chants by a priest on 15 August 1947, mistaking it for a gift of a golden walking stick... It actually symbolises the Royal Sceptre from Ramayana times. It was, along with the crown, the symbol of Dharmic authority vested in the ruler by the Guru who recognised his ability and adherence to Dharma along with democratic endorsement. This Sengol is designed with the Chola period motif of Nandi, the supreme symbol of strength and wisdom dedicated to Dharma (another word is Shiva!)
So if Modi goes and brings back from the Allahabad bungalow of Nehru the so-called golden walking stick and anoints it in the new Hall of Parliament as the Sengol, it does not mean Modi owns it or beats anyone with it. It simply shows that India is becoming Dharmic by investing the authority to rule and serve in the elected representatives as long as the people and the Gurus have trust and confidence in them. Period. The Sengol belongs to everyone invested with authority to perform his or her duty to the nation.
