In India, there's often discussion about whether there should be a retirement age limit for politicians. However, there's no such requirement in the Indian constitution – anyone can contest elections and remain active in public life for as long as they wish.
Ahmedabad: India's Union Home Minister Amit Shah has revealed his post-political career plan, stating that he will dedicate his life after retirement to natural farming and the study of the Vedas and Upanishads. This plan of his after retiring from politics is not only socially inspiring but also sends a b signal towards sustainable development and the preservation of Indian cultural values.
The Path of Farming and Spirituality After Retirement
Speaking at a public event in Ahmedabad, Amit Shah said, "I have decided that whenever I retire from politics, I will dedicate the rest of my life to natural farming and will deeply study the Vedas and Upanishads." He also said that this is not just the work of a farmer, but natural farming is a scientific experiment, the results of which are very positive.
Highlighting the harm caused by chemical fertilizers and pesticides, Amit Shah said that their long-term consumption increases the risk of cancer, high blood pressure, thyroid, and other diseases. He emphasized that if we consume food grown in a natural way, the body will not need medicines.
The Goal of Studying the Vedas and Upanishads
The Home Minister also mentioned that he is doing natural farming on his own land. "Since I started natural farming in my fields, my yield has increased by about 1.5 times." This statement comes at a time when awareness about organic and natural farming is increasing around the world, and it holds special importance for an agricultural country like India.
Amit Shah said that he wants to delve deep into the Indian knowledge tradition and will study the Vedas and Upanishads after retirement. He believes that these texts not only contain religious or spiritual knowledge but also many practically applicable principles of life are hidden in them. His inclination can be considered a personal contribution towards re-establishing the Indian cultural heritage.
Health Tip for the Youth
During the program, the Home Minister also drew attention to the health and lifestyle of the youth. He said, "If the youth exercise physically for two hours daily and get at least six hours of sleep, they will remain mentally and physically healthy." He further added that the youth of India can play an important role in the economic, social, and technical progress of the country for the next 40-50 years, provided they keep themselves fit and aware.
