Back-to-back #WorldChampions! Defending a #WorldCup takes character and this team led by @surya_14kumar played with real intent on the biggest stage! 🇮🇳
@IamSanjuSamson@ishankishan51@OfficialAbhi04 were outstanding in the final. Sanju, across the opportunities showed again why he’s a match winner. Ishan was consistent right through and played a solid role in India’s run. @IamShivamDube@hardikpandya7 shifted momentum at will when the game demanded it.
@Jaspritbumrah93 was truly special, the tougher the situation the better he got! @akshar2026 was magical with the ball, picking up crucial wickets, with Hardik, @arshdeepsinghh and #VarunChakaravarthy keeping the pressure on throughout.
Congratulations to coach @GautamGambhir and the entire support staff as well! A lot of hard work goes into moments like this!
India, World Champions again. 🇮🇳🏆

128 years. Five generations. One uniform.
When Lt Sartaj Singh took oath after the Passing Out Parade at the Indian Military Academy, he did more than join the Army. He stepped into a legacy that began in 1897 and never paused.
It started with Sepoy Kirpal Singh fighting in the Afghan campaign. It moved through World War II, where Subedar Ajmer Singh battled at Bir Hakeim and earned the rare Order of British India.
It carried on through the 1965 and 1971 wars with Brigadier Harwant Singh, and later to the frozen heights of Siachen during Kargil with Colonel Harvinder Pal Singh.
Now, the baton passes again.
Sartaj joins 20 JAT, the same battalion his father once served in. A rare full circle in a family where service has always been the inheritance.
In his family, uniforms filled cupboards, and courage filled conversations. Patriotism was not taught. It was lived.

At just 10, Shravan Singh didn’t wait to be brave. He simply showed up.
In Punjab’s border village of Tara Wali, as Operation Sindoor unfolded, Shravan ran across fields every day carrying water, milk, lassi and ice for Indian Army soldiers stationed nearby.
No uniform. No instructions.
Just a child who believed the jawans protecting his home should never feel alone.
Son of a farmer, Shravan’s quiet service in the scorching heat has now earned him the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar, presented by President Droupadi Murmu.
In a world full of noise, this is what courage looked like — small hands, a big heart, and service without expectation.

Bloodlines of Honour : Fifth Generation in Uniform
Lt Sartaj Singh
Lt Sartaj Singh’s story now stands complete as a living chapter in his family’s proud military legacy. On being commissioned today, he does not just wear the stars on his shoulders; he carries the weight and honour of five generations who served before him.
His roots reach back to 1897, when Sepoy Kirpal Singh of 36 SIKH took part in the Afghan campaign, setting the first stone of a lineage built on courage and sacrifice. That spirit was strengthened by his great-grandfather, Subedar Ajmer Singh of 2 Field Regiment, who fought at Bir Hakeim in the Second World War and earned the rare Order of British India for gallantry. His grandfather, Brigadier Harwant Singh, added new chapters of valour in the 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pak wars, while his uncle, Colonel Harvinder Pal Singh, upheld the tradition during Kargil war (Siachen).
On the maternal side too, the story is equally inspiring - officers like Captain Harbhagat Singh, Captain Gurmel Singh (Retd.), Colonel Gursewak Singh (Retd.) and Colonel Inderjit Singh have all worn the uniform with distinction across World War I, World War II, the 1971 war and beyond. Growing up in such an environment, Sartaj absorbed service, discipline and patriotism not as ideas, but as a way of life.
Today, as Lt Sartaj Singh marches out of the Indian Military Academy and prepares to join 20 JAT - the same unit as his father, Brigadier Upinder Pal Singh - he becomes the fifth-generation soldier and third-generation officer in this extraordinary chain. For him, commissioning is not just a personal milestone; it is the moment when a legacy becomes his responsibility. His journey reminds the youth that true honour is not inherited by name, but earned by living up to the values of those who came before - and then carrying them forward with pride, courage and humility.

Every home had a favourite Dharmendra film. He was a part of our growing up and of Indian cinema’s finest years.
He brought strength, charm and honesty to every role, and carried Punjab’s warmth wherever he went.
Behind the fame was a humble, grounded and deeply human soul.
His legacy will live on in the hearts of millions.
Condolences to @iamsunnydeol , @thedeol and the family 🙏🏻
