Yes, comparing Modi era with Nehru’s is right. Not to do so would be injustice to millions who suffered because of Nehru. For example, Hindu Bengali refugees. Their children, grandchildren must never forget that their people were abandoned and thrown to the wolves by Jawaharlal Nehru before, during and after Partition. Nehru despised dark-skinned Hindu Bengali refugees, among them my father, his siblings, their widowed mother and grandmother, fleeing rapacious and murderous Muslim League mobs in East Bengal; he did not want them to seek shelter in India. Nehru wrote to CM BC Roy, instructing him not to let Hindu Bengali refugees enter West Bengal. Push them back from the border, Nehru said, don’t let them in. Nehru insisted Hindu Bengalis of East Bengal / East Pakistan were coming to India for free-loading at the expense of Indians. He cut back Central funds for West Bengal to stop the meagre refugee assistance by way of a couple of kilos of inedible worm-infested rotten rice for Hindu Bengalis. Hindu Bengali refugee women and children separated from their families, or widowed and orphaned in the Noakhali genocide and subsequent Partition Massacre of Hindus, rummaged in garbage bins and pitifully begged for morsels of food. Hindu Bengali refugee children in rags with dark large sad eyes greedily licked on used banana leaves dumped on the streets by eateries, also known as ‘pice hotels’ in Kolkata parlance, of which there was a profusion in the post-War years. Emaciated babies and rickety children of Hindu Bengali refugees huddled with stray dogs on pavements. Many Hindu Bengali refugees lived on ‘rice water’ or ‘fan’ (the starchy water that is thrown away after boiling rice) collected from homes of compassionate Bengalis who had little food to share. In the morning and evening there were pheriwallahs hawking their wares; in the afternoon there were Hindu Bengali refugee women in tattered sarees that barely covered their bodies and naked children with battered and bruised aluminium pots going from house to house, begging for ‘rice water’: “Ma, fan daao Ma…” Those voices of has hunger were to haunt Hindu Bengali refugees like my parents for long, often till death. Driven by hate for Hindu Bengali refugees, Nehru ordered horrifyingly, nauseatingly squalid and disease-ridden refugee camps to be named ‘Permanent Liability Camps’ or PLCs — PLC 1, PLC 2… — reminiscent of the ‘Permanent Solution Camps’ of the Nazis. When despite his best efforts Nehru failed to push back the Hindu Bengali refugees to be slaughtered in East Bengal/East Pakistan, Nehru brought his devastating Freight Equalisation Policy which collapsed industry in West Bengal. Tens of thousands of jobs were destroyed and the Hindu Bengali was rendered jobless: Those who lost their jobs and businesses began turning on Hindu Bengali refugees just as Nehru had hoped. Yet Nehru could not break the spirit of the Hindu Bengali refugees who were grateful to Bharat and determined to help rebuild this great nation savaged by invaders and colonisers especially John Company. Through generations we Hindu Bengali refugees toiled, we built, we paid taxes, we sacrificed for the Nation, our Nation, we succeeded in establishing ourselves as dutiful, law-abiding, loyal citizens of India. Having lost our home and hearth, we had no other home but India. We Hindu Bengali refugees were hived off to malaria-infested inhospitable Dandakaranya and we cleared forests and made the soil fertile. We were packed off to Andaman and we rebuilt our lives there. When we tried to set up home at Marichjhapi we were slaughtered: the estuaries turned red with our blood. We grieved, we got up, we overcame that setback. We lived with dignity and honour, we earned our food, we were not freeloaders. We were poor but we were honest: we had integrity. Cut to 2026. So who have proved to be India’s ‘Permanent Liability’ cadging off the state and living on unearned money? Nehru Dynasty.

A memorable welcome from the Indian community in Nice. Though they may be several kilometres away from home, the bond of our diaspora with India remains as strong as ever.

Landed in Nice. In addition to Nice, this France visit includes programmes in Evian and Paris. There will be bilateral and multilateral engagements, which will be aimed at improving India’s friendships with key developmental partners. I look forward to meeting President Macron tomorrow and to being at ‘Bharat Innovates.’ @EmmanuelMacron @BharatInnov2026

Engaging with larger family abroad! PM @narendramodi received a heartwarming welcome from the Indian community in France upon his arrival in Nice today. The warmth, energy and affection of the diaspora were truly special. PM also witnessed a colourful performance of Kathak, Odissi and Bharatanatyam by French and European artists.

Bonjour France!   PM @narendramodi has arrived in Nice, France.   The visit will provide an opportunity to further strengthen India-France cooperation across key sectors.  Innovation sector will be a key focus area as India and France together celebrate Year 2026 as the ‘Year of Innovation’. The ‘Bharat Innovates’ event @BharatInnov2026 will showcase India's vibrant innovation ecosystem and offer a platform for startups and innovators to present their cutting-edge solutions and products.

The NDA Government is one that is strongly working towards youth-led development. One of the defining features of the last 12 years has been the confidence with which India’s youth have pursued their aspirations. Through initiatives such as Startup India, Digital India, Skill India and Atal Innovation Mission, an ecosystem has emerged that encourages innovation, entrepreneurship and enterprise. Today, India is among the world’s leading StartUp destinations and many of these success stories are being scripted by our Yuva Shakti and that too from smaller towns and villages. #12YearsOfYuvaShakti

Over the next few days, I will be in France and Slovakia to attend various programmes, including bilateral talks, multilateral engagements and interaction with the Indian diaspora. The focus will be on boosting economic as well as cultural linkages. The visit will begin with programmes in Nice, notably ‘Bharat Innovates’, in which President Macron will be present. As India and France are marking the ‘India-France Year of Innovation’, ‘Bharat Innovates’ will be a vibrant platform that brings together innovators, StartUps and those related to the world of innovation. In Nice, I will also hold talks with President Macron, where we will review the India-France Special Global Strategic Partnership. @EmmanuelMacron nm-4.com/RQc2Qd

Spoke to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio this evening. I reiterated India’s strong protest at the attacks by the US Navy in the Gulf that killed three Indian mariners. Such lethal actions against commercial shipping are not justified.

Bollywoodiyas who would not dare enter West Bengal so long Mamata Banerjee was CM or were scared of being seen in the company of Hindu Bengalis brutalised by #ChorTMC are now rushing to board the new gravy train. None was seen when Bengal Files was cancelled. 🙂 @amitmalviya

Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine. In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted. odni.gov/index.php/newsroom/…

No silly. Nehru was proxy PM, unelected. Sardar Patel was psyched by Gandhi to serve as Nehru’s deputy. Just as Indians born before 1 April 1970 (when birth and death certificates were mandated) were Indians but had no document to prove they were born in India. They had proxy identities — eg, son/daughter of X, spouse of Y… Good night.

The epitaph for the tomb of #ChorTMC was written by @MahuaMoitra , fellow loyalist of @KBanerjee_AITC , on 2 May 2021 and published by @nytimes on 5 May 2021. These words should be carved in stone in Urdu and enshrined for darshan every 4 May.

Till 4 May 2026 Abhishek Banerjee was running West Bengal’s Police Department by proxy although his aunt Mamata Banerjee was CM and HM. Now he is scared of visiting a thana lest he be detained or, worse, given a dose of DumDum Dawai by cops whom he constantly humiliated.
