Notably, Anjum Barabankvi wrote a ghazal for Lord Ram to commemorate the first anniversary of the Pran-Pratishtha at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, last month.
In his letter, the Prime Minister noted that the endeavors of individuals like him are making the nation proud and will aid in advancing it to greater heights.

He further stated that Lord Ram epitomizes the ideal brother, son, and husband.
“His character sets the benchmark for what one should respect in a man. That is why every man sees a reflection of himself in him,” the poet articulated.
