Before playing cards became commonplace, India had Ganjifa, an exquisite hand-painted card game once enjoyed in royal courts. Crafted by skilled artisans and adorned with intricate motifs, each deck is a miniature work of art, preserving stories, traditions.

Beyond the forts and palaces lies another side of India - one shaped by vast landscapes, timeless traditions and remarkable journeys.

Across the country, camel safaris offer a unique way to explore diverse desert terrains, from rolling dunes and vast salt plains to high-altitude cold deserts. Along the way, discover breathtaking sunsets, rich cultural experiences and moments that reveal a different side of India.

More than a journey of faith, Wari is a celebration of community, equality, music and devotion. As devotees make their way to Pandharpur, centuries-old traditions come alive through sacred songs, rhythmic drums and a shared spirit that transcends social boundaries.

On 23 June 2025, I led a delegation comprising senior leaders and prominent Sikh legislators of India to Ahakista Memorial in Cork, Ireland to pay tribute to the 329 innocent victims on the 40th anniversary of the dastardly mid air bombing of Air India Kanishka Flight 182 in 1985. This reprehensible bombing remains one of the most heinous acts of aviation terror committed against India. Actions anchored in such extremism have no place in a sane & civilised world.

At the solemn ceremony in Cork, we joined the Irish Prime Minister HE @MichealMartinTD, Canadian Minister of Public Safety HE Gary Anandasangaree @gary_srp, many members of the victims’ families and local residents.

Apart from emergency assistance in identifying the bodies and locating and collecting the debris, the spirit with which the people of Ahakista and the nearby areas rose to the occasion in solidarity with the families of the victims is an exemplary tale of humaneness and compassion.

संविधान हत्या दिवस आज हमें उस काले दौर की याद दिला रहा है, जब भारतीय लोकतंत्र को बुरी तरह से कुचला गया था। यह हमें लोकतंत्र, संविधान और नागरिक अधिकारों की रक्षा के लिए हमेशा प्रतिबद्ध रहने को प्रेरित करता है। आपातकाल का विरोध करने वाली सभी विभूतियों को सादर नमन।

स्वातन्त्र्यात् सुखमाप्नोति स्वातन्त्र्याल्लभते परम्।

Today, we pay homage to all those who steadfastly defended democratic values during one of the darkest chapters in India’s history, the Emergency.

The Emergency was a direct assault on our Constitution. It witnessed the suspension of civil liberties, curbs on freedom of expression, arrests of political leaders, journalists, social workers and an assault on institutions that are the bedrock of our democracy.

At the same time, it also revealed the extraordinary courage of countless citizens who refused to remain silent and upheld the ideals enshrined in our Constitution.

For all of us, our Constitution is an embodiment of the aspirations, rights and duties of 140 crore Indians. We reaffirm our collective commitment to safeguarding constitutional values. Guided by the spirit of our Constitution, we will build an India that remains ever committed to justice, liberty, equality and fraternity.

#SamvidhanHatyaDiwas

[Dr. S. Jaishankar @DrSJaishankar]

On the anniversary of the declaration of Emergency today, recall a period that severely tested the resilience of India’s democracy. Also salute the courage of all those who stood up in defence of constitutional values and freedoms.

Its legacy remains a powerful reminder that democracy must be protected, strengthened and cherished every day.
