Few cities epitomise India as much as Varanasi. Steeped in legend and spiritually, it is one of the world’s oldest continually inhabited cities, and one of the holiest in Hinduism. But our reason for washing up on the shores of the city adorned with the Ganges is a bit different.
With the city having undergone something of a metamorphosis in recent years, donning on an avatar of development to dovetail with its deeply spiritual core. As a shining symbol of India’s past, and a signal of what lies ahead for India.
Understanding what lies ahead for the city of Varanasi calls for an expert perspective, which understands the macro and micro aspects of its growth story. That’s why we sat down with Shri S. Rajalingam, Varanasi’s District Magistrate, to understand where the hallowed city stands, the strategies for future development, and much more, all in this episode of Baat Bharat ki. Do give it a watch, and let us know your thoughts.
