Captain Smit Machchhar has shown the world the highest form of courage.
Without fearing for his own life, he fought valiantly and prevented another 9/11 like attack from happening.
140 crore Indians salute Captain Smit and are praying for his well-being.
Flydubai flight FZ1073 took off from Dubai to fly to Israel. There were around 180 people on board, and most of the passengers were Israelis.
After some time, while the aircraft was flying at cruising altitude, its altitude suddenly started changing.
The aircraft dropped by thousands of feet in seconds. For the passengers inside the cabin, it felt like the plane was suddenly losing control.
Because the aircraft was heading towards Israel and the situation initially looked like a possible hijacking, Israeli fighter jets were scrambled.
But the real danger was not outside the aircraft. It was happening inside the cockpit. The co-pilot attacked and stabbed Captain Smit Machchhar, an Indian national and the pilot of the flight.
Even though Smit Machchhar had been attacked and was seriously injured, he managed to reach the cockpit door and unlock it before collapsing.
That one action gave the passengers and other crew members a chance to enter the cockpit. People then rushed towards the cockpit.
The passengers physically restrained the attacking co-pilot and moved him away from the controls. At the same time, there were other pilots who were travelling as passengers. They helped the crew regain control of the aircraft.
The aircraft was eventually diverted to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, where it landed safely.
The co-pilot's name has not been publicly disclosed yet. It has only been reported that he is an Omani national.
Authorities are investigating what happened inside the cockpit, why the confrontation began, and exactly how the aircraft's controls were affected during the incident. They are also investigating whether it was a deliberate attempt to crash the aircraft and whether it was an act of terrorism.
An Indian man, Captain Smit Machchhar, helped prevent a major disaster and save hundreds of lives. He is seriously injured and is now in hospital. Praying for his speedy recovery.
In his moving #DadasahebPhalkeAward acceptance speech, Shri #AnantNag reflected on saint Kanakadasa’s iconic words, “Ellaru Maduvudu Hottegagi, Genu Battegagi” (All toil is for belly and cloth).
He fondly recalled that he had also starred in a film carrying the very same title.
What @narendramodi and @AmitShah have achieved is remarkable - a near-total eradication of Naxalism, with a 90% drop in Naxal violence and hubs. But India cannot afford to lower its guard. Dimagi Naxals still exist and are eager to revive their field counterparts.
My views:
Suggestions have been made by the United States that India should take China's place in the Security Council. We cannot of course accept this as it means falling out with China and it would be very unfair for a great country like China not to be in the Security Council. - Nehru

Dear @gaana
Why are you promoting "Sar Tan Se Juda" on your platform? This slogan is an open call to behead anyone.
Kanhaiya Lal was beheaded on camera in the name of "Sar Tan Se Juda".
Will you explain why this is being promoted on Gaana, a music streaming service?

Hanumān Vaḍvānal is very powerful
because it does not merely ask for protection.
It awakens the force within you
that no longer wishes to remain vulnerable to darkness negativity

He placed his foot on the Śiva Liṅga and plucked out his own eye.
Not out of ignorance. Out of love.
Bedara Kannappa knew no mantra. No ritual. No rules.
But when he saw Śiva bleed, he did not hesitate.
He gave what was most precious to him.
Not for blessings. Not for merit. Not for liberation.
He gave because he could not remain separate.
This is what most people miss.
True bhakti is not something you can imitate. It is not a performance.
It is the end result of countless lifetimes of inner ripening.
Scriptures say Kannappa was Arjuna reborn. What was once effort had become effortless surrender.
The final truth is this:
You do not perform devotion.
When the ego dissolves, the Divine performs devotion through you.

Today, Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has concluded that the Kamal Maula Mosque at Bhojshala complex in MP’s Dhar was constructed using parts of ancient temples.
This conclusion is based on scientific investigations, survey and excavation, study and analysis of retrieved finds, study of architectural remains, inscriptions, art and sculptures.
Well, the inner view of Bhojshala tells everything. It doesn't even require proof. What we need is to Reclaim, Rebuild, Restore!
As we neared Gyanvapi, a sea of skullcaps encircled us. I looked nervously at Babuji. Son, he said, dead or alive, we are going to meet Mahadev.
Some day, when we resolve to remember our heroes more than our tyrants, the name of @Vishnu_Jain1 would be at the very top. Some day.

Recently, a new Vande Bharat sleeper train was launched. On its very first journey, some passengers left waste scattered across a coach.
These passengers were neither illiterate nor poor. They could afford tickets for a premium train. Civic sense has nothing to do with money or education. It has everything to do with mindset.
We demand world-class facilities but behave in a third-class manner. When authorities see such repeated behaviour, they find excuses to stop properly maintaining public assets. Neglect then becomes a cycle, created by us and justified by the system.
We do not destroy public property because it is bad. We destroy it because we believe responsibility is always someone else's job. We want a developed country without developing ourselves.
