Really?? The truth is that, in large part, our poverty was a result of decades of colonial rule which systematically plundered the wealth of an entire subcontinent. Yet the most valuable possession we were robbed of was not the Kohinoor Diamond but our pride & belief in our own capabilities. Because the goal of colonisation—its most insidious impact—is to convince its victims of their inferiority. Which is why investing in BOTH toilets AND space exploration is not a contradiction. Sir, what going to the moon does for us is that it helps restore our pride & self-confidence. It creates belief in progress through science. It gives us the aspiration to lift ourselves out of poverty. The greatest poverty is the poverty of aspiration…
I don’t mind the question when intentions are good & constructive … but this low level anchor of @BBCWorld is obviously trying to insult India!
I would have ripped the anchor apart if I was the guest or if he spoke about UAE in this way…

How is this even possible?? Clearly she’s a talented artist. But to paint 15 portraits at once is more than art—it’s a miracle! Anyone located near her who can confirm this feat? If valid, she must be encouraged & I’d be pleased to provide a scholarship & other forms of support.
In 1947 on the cusp of Indian Independence, Winston Churchill supposedly said “…all Indian leaders will be of low calibre & men of straw.” Today, during the 75th year of our Independence, we’re poised to see a man of Indian origin anointed as PM of the UK. Life is beautiful…

Sharing a clip of Bharat Ratna Swargiya Atal ji's impassioned rendition of his iconic poem.
A venerated statesman, Atal ji deftly led India through turbulent times as PM & put us back on the path of progress.
My tributes on his punyatithi.
Ye azadi abhi adhuri hein....hum pure hoke bhi adhure hein....akhand bharat ka swapna adhura hein....kabhi kabhi puchne ko man karta hein ...tan se nahi to kya man se yah do desh akhand ho saktein hein? #PartitionHorrorsRemembrance 😞🍂
One of the darkest moments in Indian history, Partition wreaked havoc upon millions of countrymen & dealt mighty blow to Akhand Bharat.
On #PartitionHorrorsRemembranceDay, I recall the sufferings of people resulting from evil machinations of British Raj & newly-formed Pakistan.
मेरे वतन 🇮🇳
Salute Karimganj for this incredibly amazing display of the spirit of India.
On the call on Hon PM Shri @narendramodi Ji on #AzadiKaAmritMahotsav, I am so glad to watch this delightful deluge of emotion on the streets of Assam. The #HarGharTiranga campaign is a hit.
Held a meeting with officials of Secondary Education Department in presence of Cabinet colleague Dr @ranojpeguassam.
Discussed issues including school amalgamation, infrastructure, new service rules, and the Dept's role in successful implementation of #HarGharTiranga initiative.
