Marathis proudly flex Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Why can't we Odias proudly flex our own history? 🔥 Imagine what Odisha could do: 🏛️ A Statue of Victory - on the banks of the Mahanadi honouring Kapilendra Deva and the glorious legacy of Kalinga. ✈️ Kapilendra Deva International Airport 🏏 Kharavela International Cricket Stadium 🎓 Universities and institutions named after our Maharaja Krushna Chandra Gajapati. 🛣️ Roads named after Gopabandhu Das, Madhusudan Das, Fakir Mohan Senapati, Gangadhar Meher etc. 🌳 Parks and public landmarks celebrating our own heroes. And what about the endless glorification of leaders from outside Odisha? Nehru, Indira, Rajiv, Modi, Atal and numerous others have their names on our roads, parks and public institutions. When will our own heroes receive the same honour in their own land? Our history. Our heroes. Our identity. Our Odisha. Jai Kalinga! Jai Odisha! 🔥

Then no wonder they call Him the God of Kaliyuga. The rain may pour relentlessly, the whole temple may disappear behind the clouds, but the Deepa at the top still keeps glowing. Some lights simply refuse to be extinguished. Jai Jagannath. 🙏
