He is the same person who made a Pulwama video with fake audio to blame India for the attack and never returned India after that.
Now he is reading the OCI card to prove that there is no written rule on the card stating that OCI cardholders cannot protest in India.
Next, he will say there is no written rule on the card stating that OCI cardholders cannot vote in India.
And guess what? Congress and Aapiya are using this video as proof. 😭😭
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.
Captain Smit Machchhar is a HERO.
In the face of the gravest danger and despite being seriously injured, he showed immense courage and an unwavering resolve to protect the lives of others.
His valour helped save hundreds of lives and avert a great tragedy.
India is proud of Captain Machchhar.
Praying for his speedy recovery, renewed strength and good health.
@KuwaitAirways I travelled on KU382 this morning and may have left my Indian passport during a random customs check at Kuwait Airport. Passport name: Bikash. Could you please check with Lost & Found/customs and let me know if it has been found? I can share details by DM.
India’s exemplary GDP growth of 7.8% during Q1 of FY 2026-27 is a herculean feat.
The collective strength of our people ensured India delivered such growth despite oil price shocks and supply chain issues in the midst of global uncertainties.
Doomsayers were doomed and India bloomed…yet again!
Some memorable moments from Raksha Bandhan celebrations at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg.
May this festival deepen the bonds of affection and harmony.
May it bring happiness and prosperity to everyone.
1. What's wrong with the Giva ad?
Nothing you see on TV/advertisement or/big screen, especially in big budget projects, is innocent or accidental
The Giva ad continues a broader trend in how film-entertainment and ad industries have treated cultural sensitivities of the two majority communities very differently for years - something Gems of Bollywood has exposed so clearly
Look at the way popular culture has marketed Hindu festivals for years. For instance, check any compilation for suggestions for Diwali playlist:
“Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai”
“Let’s Nacho”
“Tamma Tamma Again”
But typical suggestions for Eid playlist:
“Noor-e-Khuda”
“Maula Ali”
“Kun Faya Kun”
Typical media suggestions for Diwali outfit ideas these days: sexualised styling - cleavage, revealing blouses, familiar Bollywood glamour
Typical outfit suggestions for Eid: Rich and covered
This means that they know what cultural sensitivity looks like, what a family gathering looks like, what sanctity of a festival looks like
But they apply it only where they want
The test of their intention is simple. Look at the image attached. Imagine her holding a plate for Iftari and the text saying Eid. Will any brand ever run such an ad?
2. Are these ads really made to increase sales during Rakhi?
The primary purpose of such an advertisement is not to sell jewellery for Rakhi. Conduct a market survey. Show consumers the ad and ask them whether the imagery is prompting them to buy Giva jewellery on Rakhi for their sisters. I doubt the answer would be overwhelmingly yes
Modern advertising works at a deeper level than simply saying buy this product. It is often aimed at shaping long-term attitudes
When the same kind of imagery is repeatedly used around certain festivals, weddings and family occasions, it leads to normalisation of a particular culture
Much of it seems to be aimed at creating a society where every aspect of a woman's life is sexualised. I would say it is the same mindset that wants to legalise adult men having sex with schoolgirls
3. How should the public respond?
Stop treating these celebrities as icons and withdraw your interest from them
The same actress as in the ad did Thumkeshwari item number and then pretended to be Ma Sita on screen - until we vehemently opposed it, ran a campaign, people responded and the movie bombed
Reject them from every aspect of your life where you have a choice
A memorable Independence Day at the Red Fort! This day reminds us of the courage and sacrifice of those who gave us freedom. At the same time, it is a day to renew our commitment to building a Viksit Bharat.
May the Tricolour always inspire us to rise above every challenge, strengthen the bonds of unity and dedicate ourselves to the nation.
Warm greetings on the occasion of Independence Day.
We remember with gratitude the countless freedom fighters whose courage, sacrifice and unwavering commitment ensured the end of colonial rule. Their dreams continue to inspire us as we work together to build a Viksit Bharat.
Powered by 140 crore Indians, our nation is scaling new heights of progress across different sectors. May this journey keep progressing at an even greater pace in the times to come.
सभी देशवासियों को स्वतंत्रता दिवस की असीम शुभकामनाएं।
यह राष्ट्रीय पर्व हमें देश के वीर सेनानियों के अद्भुत साहस, अथक संघर्ष और मातृभूमि के प्रति अतुलनीय समर्पण का स्मरण कराता है।
आइए, उनके आदर्शों को अपनाकर विकसित भारत के संकल्प को साकार करें।
Hi @amanpour .. As a journalist you must have done a lot of homework on this. Did you ask him about a similar protest going on in another state of India right now? And whether he joined that protest, did he ask for any minister's resignation there? Some students are on a hunger strike there too..There have been brutal police attacks there too. Why is he not at that site? #justasking
Delighted to host our outstanding medal winners from the Commonwealth Games 2026 at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg. Heard about their experiences from the Games.
Each one of them has made our nation proud through their exceptional performances. Their success will motivate many youngsters.
