Govind Guru

Recently, Prime Minister attended a programme ‘Mangarh Dham ki Gaurav Gatha’ and paid homage to Govind Guru.

• Govind Guru was born in a nomadic community in the Dungarpur-Banswara region of Rajasthan.
• He was influenced by the teachings of Swami Dayanand Saraswati to work for the socio-religious upliftment of people from the Bhil community.

Contributions: Govind Guru’s calls for protesting against the injustice of the colonial rulers laid the foundation of the Civil Disobedience Movement.

• The sacrifices of these heroes increased the moral quotient of the national movement.
• The spirit of taking ownership of the country’s welfare has passed down to people after the country gained Independence.
