Cycle Rally for Indo-Pak Peace (Milne Do Campaign)

Introduction

As part of the broader youth-led “Milne Do” campaign, Praaveen Kumar Singh helped organize a cycle rally from India Gate in Delhi to the Wagah Border — a 500+ km journey that symbolized hope, peace, and the power of ordinary citizens to bridge extraordinary divides.

Background & Reason

While official diplomacy often falters, citizen relationships between India and Pakistan have remained a source of resilience and cultural connection. The “Milne Do” movement was designed to bypass political posturing and remind both nations that peace must begin from the ground up — through youth engagement, cultural exchange, and shared human values.

Key Actions by Praaveen Kumar Singh

Organized and led a cycle rally under the “Milne Do” banner, starting from India Gate and ending at Wagah Border.
Served as the group convenor, managing logistics, participant safety, and media coordination.
Ensured diverse participation — with cyclists aged 10 to 77 years, representing unity across generations.
Promoted the idea that peace isn’t passive — it requires action, presence, and imagination.
Created space for direct citizen engagement, outside the boundaries of state-to-state politics.

Impact & Outcome

Amplified the message that peace between India and Pakistan is not only possible — it’s urgently needed.
Encouraged youth-led peacebuilding as a form of civic responsibility.
Fostered conversations around shared histories, language, and culture that continue to bind citizens across the border.
Reaffirmed the importance of non-violent public initiatives in pushing for dialogue, even when governments hesitate.

Why It Matters

Borders divide territory — not hearts. This rally showed that when citizens move together in peace, they can create space for governments to follow. Praaveen’s involvement reflects his belief in people-first diplomacy, non-violence, and the enduring power of collective hope.
