Chennai, 3rd of August, 2026 : The Muslim Rashtriya Manch (MRM) commemorated twenty-four years of its journey of service to the nation, social harmony and public engagement with a grand celebration at Radisson, Egmore, Chennai. Organised under the inspiring theme, “Ek Qaum, Ek Watan – Hindustan,” the event brought together prominent leaders, scholars, intellectuals, social workers, youth representatives and delegates from different parts of India to reaffirm their commitment to national unity, constitutional values and the shared vision of a developed and prosperous India.
Since its establishment in 2002 under the guidance of Dr. Indresh Kumar, Margadarshak of the Muslim Rashtriya Manch, the organisation has evolved into a significant national platform dedicated to strengthening social harmony, promoting constructive dialogue and encouraging greater participation of citizens in nation-building activities. Throughout the past twenty-four years, the organisation has consistently worked to foster national integration, strengthen interfaith understanding, preserve India’s composite culture and encourage the active participation of people from all sections of society in the country’s progress.
The Muslim Rashtriya Manch has consistently upheld the belief that India’s strength lies in its diversity and that national development can be accelerated only when people rise above differences of caste, religion, language and region. Through thousands of programmes conducted across the country, the organisation has promoted social responsibility, environmental awareness, women’s empowerment, youth participation, communal harmony and the spirit of patriotism.
The event was attended by Dr. Indresh Kumar, Margadarshak of the Muslim Rashtriya Manch; Prof. Dr. Shahid Akhtar, Officiating Chairman of the National Commission for Minority Educational Institutions (NCMEI) and National Convener of the Muslim Rashtriya Manch; Shree Vijay Shankar Mishra, Shree Mithilesh Kumar Katheriya, Member of Parliament, Dr. Majid Ahmed Talikoti, Mr. Ilyas Ahmed, Mr. Ahmed Malik Wadayar, along with numerous representatives from academic institutions, social organisations and civil society.
The speakers emphasised that the guiding philosophy of “Ek Qaum, Ek Watan – Hindustan” reflects the timeless values of coexistence, mutual respect, national pride and collective responsibility. They observed that the path towards the vision of Viksit Bharat can be achieved only by strengthening the foundations of social harmony, national integration and inclusive growth.
Participants from across India deliberated on various aspects of national development, cultural diversity, youth empowerment and social cohesion. The discussions highlighted the importance of strengthening the bonds of fraternity and ensuring that every citizen actively contributes to the progress and prosperity of the nation.
The programme concluded with a collective resolve to carry forward the message of unity, brotherhood and national service while strengthening the spirit of “Ek Qaum, Ek Watan – Hindustan” throughout the country.
“The idea of ‘Ek Qaum, Ek Watan – Hindustan’ is deeply rooted in the spirit of our Constitution and in the civilisational values that have guided India for centuries. Our diversity of faiths, languages, traditions and cultures is not a source of division; rather, it is the very foundation of our collective strength. India has always demonstrated that unity and diversity can flourish together.
The Muslim Rashtriya Manch has spent the past twenty-four years strengthening the values of patriotism, social harmony and national integration. Today, we must collectively reaffirm our commitment to building an India in which every citizen enjoys equal opportunities and actively contributes to the country’s development. The journey towards Viksit Bharat will be successful only when we strengthen the spirit of brotherhood, mutual respect and collective responsibility.
Our nation belongs equally to all its citizens. Therefore, it is our shared responsibility to protect its unity, preserve its cultural heritage and work together for its prosperity. The message of ‘Ek Qaum, Ek Watan – Hindustan’ reminds us that, despite our diversity, our destiny remains one and our commitment to our nation remains unwavering.” – Prof. Dr. Shahid Akhtar.
“For thousands of years, India has shown the world that unity, harmony and coexistence are among the highest expressions of civilisation. The philosophy of ‘Ek Qaum, Ek Watan – Hindustan’ reflects this eternal truth. Irrespective of religion, language, region or social background, we are all connected by our common identity as Indians and by our shared commitment to the progress of our nation.
The Muslim Rashtriya Manch was established with the objective of strengthening these bonds of trust and encouraging constructive dialogue among communities. During the past twenty-four years, countless workers and volunteers have devoted themselves to the service of society and the nation. Their efforts have strengthened national integration and reaffirmed the values of peace, cooperation and mutual understanding.
The vision of Viksit Bharat cannot be realised merely through economic progress. It must also be built upon the foundations of social harmony, cultural pride, constitutional values and national unity. Every citizen has an important role to play in this collective journey. Together, we must work to create an India that is strong, self-reliant, prosperous and respected throughout the world. This is the true meaning of ‘Ek Qaum, Ek Watan – Hindustan’.” – Dr. Indresh Kumar
