Serving in key leadership positions across social organisations, Advocate Bharat Kumawat has been actively working towards spreading awareness about constitutional rights and civic duties. Through his profession and social initiatives, he has been educating and empowering citizens to become responsible participants in the nation's democratic framework.

An Advocate by profession, Bharat Kumawat has been actively working as a social activist and reformer. He is also the Founder of Public Sarkar Jansanchar Media, Udaipur, Rajasthan.

He begins his MeriKahani with the following shloka:

असतो मा सद्गमय।

तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय।

मृत्योर्मा अमृतं गमय।

Talking about his professional work, Bharat Kumawat shares that he is currently serving as the National Organising Secretary of the ‘Lok Adhikar Manch’, Rajasthan, to which he was introduced by its Founder and National President, Dr. Basanti Lal Babel.

He is also serving as the Vice President for Rajasthan of the ‘Akhil Bharatiya Panchayat Parishad, Delhi’, a renowned organisation working on improving local governance. Along with that, he is also associated with various other organisations. Kumawat also believes that being a resident of the world's largest democracy and a responsible civilian, every individual has their own civic duties towards the nation.

He further shares that it is because of his family upbringing that, from his childhood, he has learnt to stand for moral rights and imbibed the qualities to stand against injustice and oppression. To speak against wrong doing and stand for what is right made him sensitive towards his duties and aware of the need to contribute to society.

Advocate Bharat Kumawat further shares that one aspect of working in the social service field is making efforts for revolutionary changes in fundamental rights too. Belonging to the judicial field and being a practising advocate gave him an eye to look at issues through a different lens.

Social Activist Bharat Kumawat shares that there are provisions of Law in the Constitution that are still far from the reach of a common man, for which his efforts are always directed towards making an individual aware about of his constitutional rights through social work initiatives, where his constant effort is to spread awareness about one's civil rights and duties under the Constitution.

“A person becomes a better civilian when educated about their fundamental rights and the discharge of their duties. It also gives me the motivation to live a life with purpose,” says social activist Bharat Kumawat.

Hailing from a family actively associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Kumawat shares that he was imbibed with the values of activism from a very young age. This also gave him exposure to a world that cultivated love for the nation, where he started by visiting Sangh Shakhas, where they held dialogues on duty towards the country, about freedom fighters, and their sacrifices for the nation, which sowed the seed of love for the nation in his heart.

Adding further, Kumawat shares that during his school years, he got associated with Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP). He also became the Sukhadia Vishwavidyalaya Chhatra Pramukh of the ABVP while pursuing his higher education at Mohanlal Sukhadia University (MLSU). He adds that many such experiences helped shape his ideology towards the nation.

Living and breathing societal realities while collaborating with and working alongside various social service groups, Kumawat felt the need for greater nobility and improvement in society through a stronger and more effective system.

Further highlighting the historical facts about the drafting of our constitutional rights, Kumawat shares that though the country gained its independence on 15 August 1947, the Constitution came into effect on 26 January 1950. During this time, the new system of the era was being prepared, addressing the questions of the emerging nation, its legal functioning, and the fundamental rights and duties of every citizen. British rule was still prevailing in the country, which, according to him, is still being practised in one way or another.

Therefore, Kumawat felt that the true purpose of the Constitution has not yet been fully implemented to its core, making it still stand behind its time, which gave him a broader perspective on how constitutional rights should be practised in the current times. This also gave him a reason to pursue the professional study of law, to understand and implement it for the betterment of the nation.

Hailing from a revolutionary family and living a life rooted in the morals of nationalism and integrity, Kumawat says he always saw his family members, especially his father, grandfather, uncle, and many other relatives, expressing intolerance against injustice and corruption by the government, for which they were even sent to jail for around two years during the Emergency, when he was in his mother's womb.

Just as the environment plays a crucial role in the growth and survival of a seed, Bharat Kumawat shares that he received a similar environment in his joint family, along with the knowledge received through the frequent visits of Sangh preachers to his home. He further shares that since childhood, he has been listening to the stories and lived experiences of those around him, which later became his values.

Along with the love and companionship of the revolutionaries from his family in Udaipur city, who contributed towards bringing significant change to the system of the city, Kumawat grew up witnessing their efforts, as they worked towards the leadership of society, identifying weak factors, corruption, injustice, and the dominating political mindset.

He also credits his school, Alok School, for imbibing moral and nationalist values within him. The school was established by Late Acharya Shri Shyamlal Kumawat, who greatly influenced his life.

Speaking about the personality of Late Acharya Shri Shyamlal Kumawat, Bharat Kumawat shares that once a month, he would organise a special gathering by selecting four or five potential students from each class and giving them special teachings on society-building, explaining the formation of society through every individual's contribution and the code of conduct in society.

Kumawat shares that all these teachings and learnings from his Acharya later became one of the key reasons for creating awareness within him. He also shares that Late Narayan Lal Sharma, former Principal of Alok School, Fatehpura, Udaipur, introduced him to spiritual texts and values, something that the current education system still lacks.

Elaborating further, Bharat Kumawat shares that our traditional Indian values and Gurukul Shiksha have been excluded from the ongoing Western education system, for which he feels grateful to have had the opportunity to be exposed to both spiritual and social education.

Talking about his role models and inspirations, Kumawat shares that he has been inspired by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and his life. Since childhood, he has been curious to learn about the revolutionaries and martyrs who fought for the country's freedom.

For Bharat Kumawat, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose remains the greatest source of inspiration and self-confidence. He admires Bose for establishing the Provisional Government of Free India (Azad Hind Government) on 21 October 1942 and leading the Azad Hind Fauj (Indian National Army). Kumawat points out that the government even received recognition from nine countries, reflecting the immense stature and leadership of Netaji Bose.

He believes that Bose's ability to establish a government on his own terms, engage in international diplomacy, and make significant contributions to India's freedom struggle continues to inspire generations.

Kumawat shares that he is also deeply influenced by the life of Mahatma Gandhi, whom he looks up to as a strategist and a diplomat. He believes that Gandhi Ji taught the world the power of non-violence, human values, and peaceful resistance. He says that one of the greatest lessons he has learned from Gandhi Ji is that even the mightiest rulers can be defeated with dignity, patience, and non-violence.

Bharat Kumawat further shares about his birthplace, Mewar, and recalls a popular saying associated with the region:

"नारी जद जौहर करे, नर सर देवण री होड़,

मरणो अठे मसखरी , यो मेवाड़ी चित्तौड़।"

He says that this saying reflects the courage, sacrifice, and indomitable spirit for which Mewar and Chittor are renowned for.

Adding further, Kumawat shares that he feels fortunate to have been born in Mewar, a land that has produced some of the greatest personalities in history. He says that, as everyone knows, Panna Dhai of Mewar made the ultimate sacrifice by giving up her own son to save the future of the kingdom, while Maharana Pratap sacrificed the comforts of his throne by rejecting Emperor Akbar's treaty proposals and chose to spend years in the forests to uphold the dignity and independence of Mewar.

Looking at the lives of such great personalities and the events of history, Bharat Kumawat shares that Mewar has been an inspiration to everyone, with its values being shaped by its legendary figures.

He also says that he has been deeply influenced by Mewar's culture, roots, and rich heritage, especially by the teachings of his grandfather, who always encouraged him never to be afraid and to walk on the path of justice, righteousness, and truth.

Sharing a line that fills him with confidence, Kumawat says,

"पैरों में रोशनी का छोटा-सा दिया ही सही, अँधेरा मेरे आगे कभी ठहरा नहीं।"

Explaining further, he shares that although he holds no official position and is neither a politician nor a public figure, he possesses unwavering self-confidence.

He believes that corrupt individuals and wrongdoers cannot stand before him for long, as they are ultimately afraid of the truth and accountability, which, according to him, is one of the reasons why helpless, underprivileged, and socially exploited people approach him for support. He feels grateful to be in a position where he can help those in need.

Highlighting his thoughts on what defines a successful life, Vice President from Rajasthan of the Akhil Bhartiya Panchayat Parishad Bharat Kumawat shares that every individual's life is just as important to them as his own life is to him. This, he says, makes him question the very definition of what truly makes one's life successful.

Addressing his beliefs on what it truly means to be successful, Kumawat shares that although he has achieved many things in his life, he does not consider them extraordinary enough to be followed by everyone.

Bharat Kumawat shares that since childhood, he always had an interest in learning new things, a willingness to improve himself, and a determination never to hurt anyone. He has always treated people with love and respect, giving importance to relationships rather than money.

He has also never judged anyone based on their financial status or resources, but rather on the love, respect, and values they carry. He believes that this is one of the defining qualities of his personality.

"Everyone should be treated with fairness and equality, as the same essence that exists within us exists in every human being. Although we may differ in our physical appearance, our inner selves are the same and are capable of feeling joy, pain, and emotions just like everyone else," says Bharat Kumawat.

Therefore, Referring to the saying, "Treat others the way you would like to be treated," Kumawat believes that living by this principle is the true definition of a successful life.

Another important belief that Kumawat shares is that inspiration can be found anywhere; one does not have to go searching for it. According to him, the only question that truly makes a difference is whether a person genuinely wants to be inspired.

Defining the true meaning of drawing inspiration, Kumawat shares that there are times when people around us achieve worldly things, be it owning a costly car or wearing designer clothes, which are easy to be influenced by.

However, he believes that instead of being influenced by such achievements or material possessions, one should focus on strengthening the human values that reside within and view everyone with compassion and humanity.

He believes that such an outlook can make the world a better place with less crime and conflict, as many crimes arise from greed, ego, and materialism, leading people to harm others and even nature.

He also wishes everyone to look at the world with a sense of shared humanity, as it is the key to a fulfilled life, while, on the other hand, getting overly influenced by wealth, status, positions, or material success risks losing one's true path in life.

Addressing future law aspirants, Advocate Bharat Kumawat shares that not only aspiring law students but every individual should become a responsible citizen of this nation. Sharing a couple of lines, Kumawat says,

"मैं भी भारत, तुम भी भारत,

जब सब जन हैं भारत जन,

तो फिर काहे की अनबन।"

He explains that if we all are nationalists and residents of this nation, we should take pride in being Indians.

He believes that we must think like responsible citizens of the nation rather than considering only the ministers and elites in the capital city to be Indians. He further adds that everyone should have complete knowledge of the Constitution and their rights.

Talking about the present times, Kumawat says that as we can witness today, there is neither the rule of the President nor the governance of the Prime Minister, nor that of the Collector, SP, or the police, nor of any political party.

Rather, they are all part of a system, while the supreme authority is the law of the nation. Therefore, before making any decision, one must thoroughly understand the law, which, according to him, can now be easily learned through smartphones and AI tools.

Sharing a message for the youth, Bharat Kumawat encourages everyone to practise listening to the voice of their conscience. Explaining further, he says that it is unfortunate that, from the very first day of school, a teacher often teaches a child to first keep quiet rather than asking what the child aspires to be, what he or she is curious about. He believes that this gradually causes a child's conscience to fade over time, making one forget one's inner self.

Continuing on the same thought, Kumawat says he feels that school education is important in its own place, but greater than that is intuition, which he describes as the voice of the soul arising from within. He believes that it inspires one to make the right choices and decisions in life. Therefore, he says that we must all focus on nurturing our intuition along with India's spiritual knowledge.

Conveying a message to society, he encourages everyone to keep the observer within alive. Explaining further, he shares that when we go to a temple, we do not go merely to see God. Therefore, one must understand the true meaning of the word 'darshan' within one's soul and make wise decisions while moving forward.

Drawing from his own experiences as an observer, Bharat Kumawat shares that observing his surroundings led him to realise that he wants to pursue only those things that are truly great in life. He believes that since life itself is precious and time is invaluable, one should dedicate one's energy to doing great work.

Sharing another lesson that has guided his life, Bharat Kumawat says that where there is politics, there is conspiracy. He believes that behind every political thought, there is a hidden agenda. Therefore, he advises people not to get involved in politics, not to be influenced by it, and even to avoid engaging in conversations about it.

Referring to the influence of social media, he says that, as we can all see, a great deal of propaganda is being spread through social media, and many people are making their decisions based on it, which, according to him, should not be done. Rather, one should give importance to family, value the experience of parents and teachers, and live with the understanding that the present times can be alluring and misleading.

Founder of Public Sarkar Jansanchar Media, Bharat Kumawat also shares that, on the occasion of Guru Purnima, he bows at the feet of all the teachers and gurus from around the world. He prays that everyone is blessed with a wise guru in their life who guides them towards a righteous path and helps them lead a meaningful life.

On a concluding note National Organising Secretary of the ‘Lok Adhikar Manch’, Kumawat shares that he learned a very important lesson about life from his own guru—to let go of everything else and hold firmly to the belief that every human being has one common goal in life, and that there is only one caste: the caste of humanity. Therefore, everyone must live one's life according to the principles of humanity and strive towards them.
