The Sengol in India’s New Parliament is a Secular Symbol with Profound Historical and Heritage Significance | Chapter 11 | Recent Trends in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 5

This study aims to find literature and historical evidence proving that Sengol (Sceptre) in India's new parliament is a Secular symbol with profound cultural and heritage significance. There is mixed and confusing information about Sengol being given to the first Indian Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, as a token of power transfer from the colonial master to India. Some media outlets, historians, and political parties claimed that this important historical event was Bogus. This historical power transfer event must occur when each government changes right after the election. Somehow, this historical event is forgotten or hidden from the public, and the Sengol ends up in the museum as a walking stick of the first prime minister since the independence of India. The current BJP government found this historical mistake. Prime Minister Modi took corrective action to restore the rich heritage and value by installing Sengol next to the speaker in the new parliament. This research intends to verify the forgotten historical events and confusion about the religious and monarch links surrounding Sengol and bring light to the public. This paper makes a comprehensive study to find the historical evidence of the event, make heritage, literature, and secular assessments, including other heritage literature assessments, and bring light to the seventy-five years of hidden history. The significant historical, heritage, scientific, and secular findings would benefit society and the future generation. This is the first research paper to address all these parameters comprehensively. Therefore, this research finding is original, not repetitive, historical, and ground-breaking in history, culture, heritage, social science, and political science. This paper will be helpful for academics, researchers, governments, cultural institutions, and society.
