@BahadurManmohan @TheHockeyIndia @virenrasquinha @DilipTirkey @IHL360 @HockeyIndiaLeag Why are we saffronising sports, education and politics? We are a country of various hues. Blue was such an impressive national colour for all our sports persons..sad indeed!!

[Manmohan Bahadur @BahadurManmohan]

BOTH Argentina & Netherlands (who wear ORANGE traditionally), WORE BLUE on BLUE astro turf!!!

🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵When Charles de Gaulle led France, he treated public money as something untouchable.
At the Élysée Palace, there was a strict rule for him: no personal expense could ever be paid for by the state.
His wife, Yvonne, kept a small notebook in which she meticulously recorded all family expenses — from food and electricity to clothing and even soap.
At the end of each month, she would send a check to the state treasury, reimbursing every last cent.
Once, an accountant remarked that this was not really necessary.
She calmly replied:
“Everything that is not public is personal.
And for personal matters, we pay ourselves.”
This principle applied without exception.
Their children and grandchildren were not allowed to use official cars for private matters.
De Gaulle himself refused any privileges of office: he paid his own bills at the palace — even for the smallest things, such as soap or family meals.
Moreover, he did not use his presidential salary, living only on his military pension.
After his death, there was no wealth or luxury left behind — only a modest house in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises, purchased before the war.
It is said that he would sometimes personally send money to the treasury if he suspected that any personal expense might have accidentally been covered by the state budget.
This was not a formality.
It was a principle.
✨ An example of true integrity, honor, and responsibility in public service.

तुम्हाला माहिती आहे का?

पंडित जवाहरलाल नेहरूंच्या त्या ऐतिहासिक Tryst with Destiny भाषणाला थेट ग्रॅमी पुरस्कार मिळाला होता

१९४७ च्या स्वातंत्र्याच्या मध्यरात्री नेहरूंनी उच्चारलेले शब्द अनेक दशकांनंतर अमेरिकन जॅझ संगीतकार Ted Nash यांनी Spoken at Midnight या संगीत रचनेत गुंफले.

नेहरूंच्या आवाजातील लय, चढ-उतार आणि भाषणाची cadence यांपासून साकारलेल्या या रचनेला २०१७ मध्ये Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition मिळाला.

विचार करा…

स्वातंत्र्याच्या मध्यरात्री भारतातून उमटलेला एक आवाज, सात दशकांनंतर संगीताच्या माध्यमातून जगाच्या सर्वोच्च मंचावर पोहोचतो.

आज १५ ऑगस्ट स्वातंत्र्यदिनाच्या दिवशी, तोच आवाज पुन्हा ऐकताना एक वेगळीच ऊर्जा जाणवते.

Long years ago, we made a tryst with destiny…

तो फक्त इतिहास नव्हता…
तो आजही ऐकू येणारा भारताचा आवाज आहे.

स्वातंत्र्यदिनाच्या हार्दिक शुभेच्छा! 🇮🇳

NOTE: it is sometimes best to put out a full proper video before engaging in worst form of character assassination . Here is Indira Gandhi at 1983 NAM summit holding out her hand to Fidel Castro. The Cuban leader then takes her consent (through an interpreter) and hugs her briefly . He called her his ‘sister’. The entire exchange is done with quiet dignity. To score cheap political points why coarsen the narrative? (Thank you @_kajalbasu for sharing video on Facebook)

You all will love this!!!

Anand Ranganathan has built a career on savaging Nehru. Scroll his timeline. Nehru, dawn to dusk, and never a kind word.

Now look at this.

In 1992 he went up to Cambridge on the Nehru Centenary Fellowship, an award linked to the Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Fund, the trust created in 1964 to keep Nehru's legacy burning, with Nehru's own daughter, Indira Gandhi, installed as its founding secretary.

He came home. And today he draws his salary as a professor at Jawaharlal Nehru University.

A fellowship in Nehru's name. A day job at a university in Nehru's name.

And a public brand built on flaying the man both are named after.

Show me a bigger 'Namak Haraam'.

Los pelos de punta. Desconozco al autor del video pero, por si le llega este post, probablemente sea lo mejor que he visto en muuuuuucho tiempo.

Que maravilla.

Once, a woman grabbed Nehru Ji's collar right after he stepped out of Parliament. She yelled,
"The country is free now, and you became the Prime Minister, but what did we get?"
Nehru Ji smiled warmly and replied,
"You have the complete freedom to grab a Prime Minister's collar."
"If someone asked a question like this to the ones in power today, they would be labelled a traitor and thrown into jail."
Today's PM cannot face the citizens' voice, and he knows it very well.

These are the Sanskari youth that the govt is funding, feeting & which Modi is addressing?

"My first husband stripped me naked and threw me and my daughters out of the house. Neighbours wrapped me in a quilt and my parents took us away. As I hold this gold medal in Glasgow, my message to every woman in India is to fight back against abuse."

A government whose leader hasn’t ever given a competitive exam, whose home minister has gone missing after the police targeted unarmed student protestors, most of whose ministers send their children abroad to study can have no skin in reforming exam systems in India . My speech in parliament on the public exam bill, made both as an MP but also as a mother of a doctor who has seen the Indian NEET exam first hand.

[Mahua Moitra @MahuaMoitra]

I was a petitioner in Supreme Court who fought & got Bilkis Bano’s rapists back in jail after they were released early. @JoshiPralhad defended their release. It is documented fact. No gutter talk about Nehru by BJP hustlers will change that. Well done @priyankagandhi

[John Brittas @JohnBrittas]

The ultimate farce! While the nation demands accountability for exam scams & paper leaks, Govt appoints Naresh Pal Gangwar as the new Higher Education Secretary!
This is the same IAS officer whose mother, wife & son collectively received over ₹1.16 crore in government subsidies under the National Horticulture Board scheme for “encouraging commercial crops” (cucumber cultivation). This the way PM ensuring accountability..

[Cockroach Janta Party @Swatantrvoice]

जंतर मंतर पर बच्चों के साथ हुई बर्बरता में सबसे बड़ा हाथ DG CRPF का है क्योंकि इन्होंने ही बच्चों पर लाठीचार्ज का आदेश दिया था।

DG ज्ञानेंद्र प्रताप सिंह को अपने पद से इस्तीफा देना चाहिए।

अगर आप मेरी बात से सहमत हैं तो पोस्ट को आगे बढ़ा दो।

What is this behaviour Mumbai Police? Why is a male cop mandhandling a young female protestor like this? Why isn't he letting his female colleagues handle this? What action will be taken against him? This is unacceptable @Dev_Fadnavis

[C Uday Bhaskar @theUdayB]

Full marks to @priyankagandhi for reminding the media about where the Q-s should be directed...Gen Z across the country will note that the PM @narendramodi did not come to parliament /Thanks @SharmaKadambini for posting this/ Lots of anxiety about what will unspool at JM tonight

Meet the bravest officer, Shri Sandeep Lamba.

He showed great courage against a woman protester. In order to maintain peace and law and order, he did not even think twice before slapping a woman.

WOWOWOW.
