Advocate Mita Banerjee Raises India’s Flag High at the United Nations

In a historic moment of patriotism and diplomacy, Advocate Mita Banerjee of Kolkata stood before the world at the United Nations General Assembly in Malaysia on 11 July 2025 — her words, sharp as steel yet warm with love for her nation, echoing across the hall.

From the very first line, Advocate Mita Banerjee left no room for introductions:

“I represent India — the name itself is enough.”

With those words, she transformed the assembly into a stage for India’s courage, conviction, and cultural pride.

Her address blended grace with grit:

“We Indians believe heart over head.”

The hall fell silent, then stirred — diplomats listened, not just to a lawyer, but to the voice of a billion hearts.

Adding a touch of India’s timeless culture, she shared traditional sweets to all delegates — a gesture steeped in warmth and meaning. As she did, she recited lines that brought goosebumps:

“Hai Preet Jahan Ki Reet Sada, Main Uska Baat Sunati Hu,
Bharat Ki Rahene Wali Hu, Bharat Ki Baat Sunati Hu.”

She invoked the age-old Indian philosophy of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam — One World, One Family”, reminding the world that India leads with love, not fear.

Yet Advocate Mita Banerjee’s honesty was as striking as her grace. To the Pakistani delegates, she quipped with razor-edged clarity:

“We may offer you sweets, but not water.”

To Bangladesh’s representatives, she held firm:

“We have not forgotten how you disrespected our national flag — and that is reason enough to act, if we must.”

This was not just a speech. It was a declaration.
It was India saying: We remember. We forgive, but we do not forget.

Advocate Mita Banerjee — lawyer, patriot, fearless diplomat — did not merely represent India that day.
She embodied India.
 
History will not just remember her words — it will remember the pride with which she carried the tricolor.
