History has been written today.

On 10 June 2026, Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji completes 4,399 consecutive days in office, surpassing the 4,398 days of India's first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru ji, to become the longest continuously serving elected Prime Minister in the history of our Republic.

Pause for a moment and reflect on what this truly means.

India is not a nation in the ordinary sense. It is a civilisation of 1.4 billion souls. A land of 22 scheduled languages and hundreds of dialects; of many faiths, castes, communities and creeds; of countless regions and walks of life, living side by side. We are the world's largest democracy, with an electorate of nearly 98 crore, more than the people living in all of Europe. This makes ours perhaps the most complex electoral exercise across the globe.

And yet, out of these 1.4 billion people, the same leader has been entrusted with the nation: again, and again, and again. 2014. 2019. 2024. Three successive mandates from the people of India, each one a renewed act of faith.

To win the trust of so vast and diverse a nation even once is remarkable. To win it three times over, without a break, is extraordinary.

Consider, too, how different the two eras are. Pandit Nehru ji earned his mandate in the formative decades of the Republic, an age of one-party dominance in which the Congress towered over a young and fragmented opposition. Narendra Modi ji has earned his in a far more demanding democracy: the age of coalitions, of powerful regional forces and fierce multi-party competition. And he has met that challenge in full: winning absolute majorities in his own right in 2014 and 2019 (the first single-party majorities since 1984), and then forging and leading a victorious coalition in 2024. To command the trust of so fiercely contested a nation, mandate after mandate, is by any measure the harder achievement.

On this historic occasion, I bow to the wisdom of the Indian voter and salute the Hon'ble Prime Minister's tireless devotion to the nation.

May he be blessed with robust health and a long life, and may the people of Bharat grant him many more mandates in the service of our motherland.

@himantabiswa @gunsnroses Sir, requesting you for arranging concert of Nirahua and Pawan Singh as well for our bihari brothers

[Rayhan, John @JohnRayhan]

Instead of #GunsNRoses, our govt should organise concert of Pawan Singh or Nirahua.

Then only their beloved Biharis would be happy!

@kaushikhaz1 Yes, the crowd matters. Simply wearing short skinny outfits doesn’t make one music lover.

With Guns N’ Roses set to perform in Guwahati this November, I would like to share a perspective as someone who already watched them live.

If you are expecting them to sound exactly like the band we grew up listening to in the ’80s and ’90s, you may want to adjust those expectations. The songs are still there, the energy is still there, and the nostalgia is undeniable but time catches up with everyone, even our rock heroes.

Watching them live was a bittersweet experience for me. On one hand, I was witnessing legends who shaped a generation. On the other, it was impossible to ignore the reality that age has taken its toll. Some moments felt like a reminder that the voices and stamina we remember from their prime are no longer the same.

Go for the experience, the memories, and the chance to say you saw the legends perform. Just don’t go expecting a time machine. Sometimes the hardest part of growing older is realizing that our childhood heroes are growing older too.

Bro didn’t even think twice before giving away mattresses from his shop worth lakhs in fire rescue operations in Delhi.

Takes special kind of selflessness and heroism to do this.

In Shillong,people were made to wait for hours for a Amit Shah convoy.

Fed-up public started honking together in protest.The police panicked & called off VIP drama & the road was reopened

This is exactly how people should respond to this rotten VIP culture
