"My wife and I had retired from Punjab National Bank. Unfortunately, she passed away 10 years ago. We had planned to travel the world using our PF and savings, but that dream remained unfulfilled. After her death, I no longer felt like travelling anywhere. I decided to donate half of the money we had saved for our dream journey to Indian Army so I donated Rs 25 lakh to Indian Army...Perhaps this will give me the same happiness that travelling with my wife would have given me..." ~ Shrikant Sahasrabuddhe.

A foreign tech company cuts off a fully paid-up Indian client's access to its own data. No court order. No Indian law violated. Just a foreign sanction it chose to enforce on Indian soil. This isn't hypothetical. It already happened. And it will happen again unless India enacts a blocking statute. livelaw.in/articles/india-an…

Over the last 12 years, PM Modi has launched several welfare and development initiatives aimed at improving the lives of ordinary citizens. In Uttar Pradesh, CM Yogi Adityanath's govt has focused on implementing many of these schemes on the ground. Whether it is housing for poor families, healthcare support, Ujjwala connections for women, financial assistance for farmers, or jobs and skill development opportunities for youth, these schemes are reaching a large number of people across the state. The idea of development reaching the last person in society is often associated with PM Modi's vision. In UP, the emphasis has been on ensuring that these benefits are delivered effectively through implementation and monitoring. This coordination between the Centre and the State is one reason why UP is increasingly being discussed for its development, governance, and welfare delivery. #ModiKaVisionYogiKaMission

During the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, when terrorists reached Cama Hospital, a group of nurses and hospital staff chose courage over fear. They switched off lights, locked wards, moved patients to safer areas, and protected hundreds of people inside the hospital, including pregnant women and newborn babies. Their presence of mind helped prevent a far greater tragedy, with their actions helping save nearly 400 lives. For years, their story remained largely untold. Now, Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata has been released, bringing the story of these unsung heroes to the big screen. Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) delivers a powerful performance, and films that bring such forgotten stories of courage to the forefront deserve to be watched. Everyone should watch this film and learn about the real unsung heroes of 26/11.

They are calling Ayush Malik an icon and hero because he left his family and converted his religion. Our fearless hero and icon is KK Muhammad, who served as a Regional Director of ASI. His own community boycotted him and threatened him, yet he stood firm in stating that Temple ruins existed beneath the Babri Masjid. We are not the same.

Meet Litan Shohid Mulla and Papi Begum, a Bangladeshi couple who were living illegally in India. They were arrested in Mumbai and deported to Bangladesh in July 2025. What happened next? In less than a year, they illegally re-entered India and have now been arrested again in Mumbai. They are set to be deported once more. Countless others like them might have re-entered India despite being deported. They have no fear of our system. If deported illegal immigrants can simply return within months, then what is the value of deportation? The system needs a stronger framework to prevent repeat illegal entry into our country.

Jairam Ramesh tweeted in September 2024 that the Adani Nairobi airport proposal would spark protests turning into anti-India anger because of the Prime Minister’s so-called “special friendship” with Adani. What actually happened tells a very different and disturbing story. Adani offered nearly $2 billion to upgrade Jomo Kenyatta International Airport under a concession model. The deal was cancelled in November 2024 after a coordinated campaign of protests, negative publicity, and a social media drive led by Kenyan influencer Nelson Amenya all fuelled by US allegations that have now been closed by the Department of Justice for lack of conclusive evidence. Even a fake press release was circulated to damage Adani during this period. Two years later, Kenya awarded a $2.9 billion contract almost 50% higher than the original Indian offer to a Chinese state-owned company. India lost a major private investment opportunity in East Africa. China gained strategic ground while Kenyan taxpayers were forced to pay significantly more. Jairam Ramesh and the entire Congress party didn’t just stay silent they actively amplified this controversy from India. Their political attacks helped turn a legitimate commercial proposal toxic and made it easier for China to step in after an Indian company was pushed out. Was this really just political opposition, or was there something more deliberate behind it? Congress has a long and consistent history of aligning with China. They had signed an MoU with the Chinese Communist Party and maintained that relationship for years. Whether it is weakening India’s stand on the border, opposing Indian companies abroad, or creating obstacles for projects that can strengthen India, Congress has repeatedly shown that it has no problem working against Indian interests when China stands to benefit. When it comes to choosing between protecting Indian interests and helping China, why does Congress always seem to choose China? Their actions in the Kenya airport case have once again exposed whose side they are truly on.
The Adani Group’s proposed takeover of the airport in Nairobi, Kenya, has led to widespread protests in the country, with the Kenya Aviation Workers Union calling for a strike to demonstrate its opposition. This is a matter of grave concern for India, because the non-biological PM’s friendship with Mr. Adani is now globally well known. The protests can therefore easily convert into anger against India and the Indian Government. In recent years, similar controversies around Adani projects in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have undermined our national interest and contributed to bad outcomes for India. The Bangladesh Government’s contract to purchase power from Adani’s coal plant in Jharkhand, for instance, became a flashpoint in the protests that led to PM Sheikha Hasina’s resignation last month. Adani’s renewable energy projects in Mannar district in Sri Lanka were also embroiled in controversy and were a part of the widespread protests against the Sri Lankan Government in 2022. Historically, India’s soft power has been one of its greatest foreign policy strengths. Today, the PM's collusion with the Adani group has contributed to the diminishing of this strength and unprecedented reversals for India on the global stage - just one of the many sacrifices the country has had to make at the altar of the non-biological PM’s special friendship. reuters.com/business/aerospa…

Many years ago, a Parsi woman studying at a college in Gujarat fell in love with a Muslim professor, Nisar Ahmed, who was 15 years older than her. Despite strong opposition from her family, she chose to marry him. Even after marriage, she never converted to Islam. She continued to follow and practice her own faith, Zoroastrianism, throughout her life. When she recently passed away, her husband approached the Parsi community to have her last rites performed according to Zoroastrian traditions. They refused because she had married outside the community. He then turned to members of his own Muslim community to bury her according to Islamic customs. They refused as well, since she had never converted to Islam. Left with nowhere to go, he approached the Hindu community. Without asking about her religion, caste, or background, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) stepped forward and arranged for her final rites to be performed with dignity according to Hindu traditions. This is the spirit of Sanatan Dharma.

Akhilesh's absence has triggered a wave of betrayal inside SP. Leaders who once followed him are now secretly aligning with Mayawati out of fear and frustration. This proves he has no real control or vision left. Akhilesh Yadav's inability to keep his own leaders united is becoming increasingly evident. When party insiders start looking elsewhere, it signals a growing crisis of confidence in his leadership. #SPkaCyclePuncture

A lot of people thought India's IT sector would struggle because of AI. But that hasn't really happened. Revenues are growing, margins remain strong, and companies are reporting record deal pipelines. It seems that the trust and relationships Indian IT firms have built over the last 30 years still matter a lot, even in the AI era. Interesting how the public narrative often lags behind what's actually happening on the ground. This thought came to mind after reading N. Chandrasekaran's article.

In last 24 hours in Kerala A) 10 illegal Bangladeshis, including three children, were arrested in Kollam district. B) An illegal Bangladeshi couple Melan Khan and his wife Mughal Khandal, were also arrested in Kollam. They had been living in Kerala for the past 10 years. Forged Aadhaar cards and other Indian IDs were recovered from all of them. It is high time that all states should work together as part of a coordinated nationwide campaign to identify illegal immigrants and deport them from India.

Congress suffered a major setback in the Madhya Pradesh Rajya Sabha election after Meenakshi Natarajan's nomination was rejected over discrepancies in the nomination papers. She did not disclose a pending case in Telangana. If the case was already on record, Congress must have been aware of it so why did the party choose to nominate her? Now, all 3 Rajya Sabha seats in Madhya Pradesh are set to go to the BJP.

According to the latest official PLFS data: UP’s unemployment rate stands exceptionally low between 2.4% and 3.7%, significantly lower than the national average. This account won't tweet about Punjab, where the unemployment rate is hovering between 5.3% and 6.1%, and over 82% of the workforce is trapped in the insecure informal sector. Kerala that brags about literacy has an overall unemployment rate of 7.0% Himachal Pradesh is reeling under a massive 7.9% unemployment rate, while Telangana is touching nearly 5.0% to 8.9%. Yogi government has distributed over 9,00,000 government jobs completely on merit, with zero bribery, zero nepotism, and zero "under-the-table" recommendations. Under Akhilesh Yadav's regime, government jobs weren't opportunities; they were auctioned. The UPPSC was turned into a family business under tainted figures like Anil Yadav, where job listings were custom-made to favor specific castes and relatives while deserving candidates were lathi-charged.

Shahrukh Maniyar, a salesman at a readymade garments shop in Rajasthan’s Jhujhunu, was caught secretly recording videos of women inside the shop’s trial room. Police have arrested him. Nobody knows how long he had been doing this and how many videos he had recorded. Make sure that when you enter a trial room, you examine the mirrors, check the surroundings, scan for IR lights, and look for reflections. Do not trust anyone. Incidents like these have been reported everywhere, from small local shops to large shopping malls.

UP elections are nearing, and the ecosystem is back in action. Yesterday’s Samajwadis are today’s “student activists.” A look at their old posts is enough to expose the rebranding. This account changed username 53 times. Student issues are merely the vehicle; the real goal is to manufacture resentment against the govt and create political unrest ahead of elections.
