Education has positive externalities..state has a role to play so that it is accessible and affordable to the masses..
Knowledge deprivation will create more rift in the society.
The gap between haves and have nots must be bridged.😊
Good morning.
People will try to make Ajit Agarkar & Gautam Gambhir look villain here but problem is with Indian Cricketers that they don't announce their retirement themselves at high & keeps on dragging their career even after turning 40.
Kumar Sangakkara announced his ODI retirement after scoring 4 consecutive 100s in ODI WC 2015, if some Indian had done that they would have forcefully tried to play both 2019 & 2023 WC irrespective of the age.
Indian Cricketers never retire with the grace subject to some exceptions.
Deeply honoured by your wishes, Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi sir.
It is my absolute honour to represent India and bring the Norway Chess title home.
Your constant encouragement motivates me to work even harder and keep making our nation proud.
Heartiest Congratulations to R. Praggnanandhaa on Winning Norway Chess 2026!
The Indian Embassy in Norway proudly celebrates the remarkable achievement of R. Praggnanandhaa, the Champion of Norway Chess 2026.
Your brilliance, determination, and composure under pressure have once again demonstrated the strength of Indian chess on the global stage.
This historic victory is a source of immense pride for Indians around the world. May this victory inspire a new generation of young minds to dream big, think boldly, and pursue excellence.
We wish you continued success, many more victories, and an even brighter future ahead.

R Praggnanandhaa created history after winning the Norway Chess 2026. In the final round, Praggnanandhaa defeated Vincent Keymer with the white pieces to win the title. Pragg scored 4 consecutive classical wins to finish the tournament. Norway Chess 2026 was one of the strongest tournaments of the year.
According to the numbers, it was even stronger than the candidates. It was one of the biggest achievements of Pragg's career as he became the 1st Indian to win Norway Chess. #praggnanandhaa #Norwaychess

🚨 EMOTIONAL STATEMENT BY ARJUN TENDULKAR ON HIS BOWLING PERFORMANCE 🚨
Arjun Tendulkar Said 🗣️,
"Yes, it’s true that I got the opportunity to play only one match in this entire thing, and apart from that I didn’t get to play any other game. But whenever I play, I always try to give my hundred percent and put in my complete effort to perform at my best. I did the same today as well. I’m quite happy with my bowling, but there are still a few areas where I need to work. If I improve those areas, I believe I’ll bowl even better in the future. And if I get more chances in the future, I’ll be able to prove myself even more."
Well done, Arjun. ❤️
Proud of the way you’ve carried yourself through this season, always believing in your ability, staying patient, working hard quietly, and remaining positive despite having to wait for your opportunity till the very last match.
Cricket tests patience as much as skill, and you handled both beautifully today.
Keep your feet on the ground, and continue being in love with the game like you always have.
Love you always.👏
Congrats to Vaishali akka! 🔥🔥Proud of what you have achieved! Inspiring to see how you handled the critical moments in the tournament! Happy to see the results for all the hard work!
Congratulations @chessvaishali . She showed excellent preparation and resilience. Took the blows & delivered the punches. A proud moment for Indian chess with two Indians to cheer for in the World Championships. Personally proud that our @WacaChess mentee will now have a shot at the world title. Being from Chennai is just another flex !
15th April, 2026 will be marked as a red letter day in the history of Indian Chess. Today in Cyprus, Grandmaster Vaishali Rameshbabu became the Champion of FIDE Women's Candidates 2026 scoring 8.5/14 points! Vaishali will challenge the reigning Women's World Champion Ju Wenjun in the upcoming FIDE Women's World Championship match.
Going into the final round, Vaishali had a score of 7.5/14 points - same as Bibisara Assaubayeva. Divya Deshmukh drew against Bibisara in a wild game, and Vaishali scored a dominating win over Kateryna Lagno - with this win, she became the Champion!
Vaishali played some incredible Chess throughout the tournament. She scored 5 wins, had 7 draws, and conceded only 2 losses!
A huge congratulations to Vaishali, her family, and her team for this incredible result. 15 years ago, Koneru Humpy played against Hou Yifan in the Women's World Championship match in November 2011 - and now Vaishali will play against Ju Wenjun!

@theliverdoc@Sudshek I was sick for almost 2 weeks. Throat pain, no wish of eating, daily fever, weight loss...now I feel better but those days were like hell. Bed became my best friend😭😭
Many are asking why I'm not giving credit to Pakistan. Use this opportunity to learn what the term 'Benami' is. It is a commonly used term in India, interestingly of Persian Origin.
China convinced Iran. J D Vance convinced America. America needed a country name to save it's face. Who else would readily do it other than Pakistan? Pakistan is merely America's Benami.
Jaishankar rightly said last week, Pakistan is a dalal nation. Nothing more needs to be said.
America and Iran formally thanking Pakistan was part of the script made ready last evening.
Pakistan gives place and serves food for the negotiators. Nothing more.
Negotiations with terrorist regime doesn't work.. Ask Hitler
You spoke about Strait of Hormuz yet you abstained in the UN resolution to keep it open and safe.
You also forgot to mention 37 days of attacks on GCC and Jordan
Shameless position
Instead of acting all petty and salty, we should acknowledge that Pakistan enabled this ceasefire and do some genuine soul-searching.
Where has Indian diplomacy gone wrong and why?
