Poetry Is the Sharpest Force of Change — LG Manoj Sinha at Kavi Sammelan 2025 There is nothing sharper than poetry. If anything can penetrate directly into the innermost being of a human being without any propaganda or any incision, then it is only and only poetry, said the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu & Kashmir, Shri Manoj Sinha at Kavi Sammelan organised at Jammu University. If the listener listens carefully, then the person will not be the same when he leaves the conference as he was when he came there. And will go only after being transformed in the company of poets. A new color will surely appear on his consciousness, LG said. कुछ बात है कि हस्ती, मिटती नहीं हमारी। सदियों रहा है दुश्मन, दौर-ए-ज़माँ हमारा।। The Lieutenant Governor also appealed to all the poets and writers of the country that through their creations, they must use their pens against the efforts of the separatists. Please contribute towards building a Jammu and Kashmir where every youth gets the full opportunity to hone their talents and fulfil their dreams. Every word that comes from the poet’s pen is as precious as every drop that together forms the ocean. Where the sun could not reach, the poet reached there. Such is the power of poetry.
