It's a shame no major film has been made about Biju Patnaik. He lived a life that sounds almost fictional:

In 1938, he flew his entire wedding procession by aircraft to Rawalpindi for his marriage to Gyanwati Sethi (who became the first Indian woman to hold a commercial pilot’s license, and the couple later flew daring missions together.)

While serving in the Royal Indian Air Force (including as head of Air Transport Command), he secretly ferried freedom fighters like Jayaprakash Narayan, Ram Manohar Lohia, and Aruna Asaf Ali to their hideouts. He also airdropped 'Quit India' leaflets to Indian troops while evacuating British families.

The British once jailed him for transporting nationalist leaders and distributing anti-British literature but also honored him for bravery in evacuating civilians from Japanese-occupied Burma.

During WWII, he flew daring missions delivering arms and supplies to Soviet forces in Stalingrad, and over the treacherous 'Hump' route to China in
support of Chinese Nationalist forces against the Japanese.

In July 1947, he and his wife flew a Dakota into Indonesia, landed on an improvised airstrip while evading Dutch anti-aircraft fire, rescued Prime Minister Sutan Sjahrir, refuelled using abandoned Japanese fuel, and flew him safely to India via Singapore.

A couple of months later, during the Pakistani invasion of Kashmir, he airlifted one of the first Indian troops into Srinagar.

The same year he founded Kalinga Airlines, one of India's earliest private airlines.

As Odisha CM post-1962 India-China war, he secretly visited CIA headquarters at Langley to forge a covert India-US partnership against China, which led to the Aviation Research Centre (ARC) at Charbatia, which supported U-2 recon missions over Tibet.

He was also a legendary administrator and statesman, laying much of the foundation of Odisha's industrial empire (mines, ports, heavy industries etc).

When he passed away, Indonesia observed 7 days of state mourning. Russia observed 1 day. He remains the only person in Indian history whose body was draped in the national flags of 3 nations - India, Indonesia, and Russia.

Few public figures have left such a footprint.

His extraordinary life needs to be brought to the big screen.

#DidYouKnow Indian Railways transports fully loaded trucks on trains!!

Trucks are driven directly onto railway wagons and carried to their destination without unloading the cargo.

This is called Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO)
Or Truck-on-Train (TOT) service.

A smart way to save fuel, reduce emissions, and decongest highways.

#DidYouKnow The foundation of modern India’s steel industry was laid in Odisha.

And, Tata Steel was born because of “Gorumahisani” in Mayurbhanj, Odisha.

In 1904, geologist P.N. Bose discovered massive high-grade iron ore deposits here and wrote a letter to J.N. Tata recommending the site for a steel plant.

That one letter led to the birth of TISCO, now Tata Steel, a company with a market cap of over ₹2.63 lakh crore today.

The rest is history.

On a side note, Odisha is now Tata Steel’s largest investment destination with investments crossing ₹1 lakh crore.

@OfficialDMRC But it fails in underground stations with no internet. A digital solution must work offline too otherwise commuters are left stuck.@OfficialDMRC

[Mohd Sayem Raza 🇮🇳 @SayemR6]

Dear @OfficialDMRC, I recently lost my One Delhi metro card. It wasn’t just a card, it carried years of journeys, memories, and a sense of legacy for someone who came from outside and made Delhi a second home. I request your guidance on getting a new card. Kindly assist. 🙏

Someone should also gift A. P. J. Abdul Kalam’s book ‘Ignited Minds’ to Nishikant Dubey.

Read how Wheeler Island (now Abdul Kalam Island) was handed over to DRDO by Biju Patnaik, the then CM of Odisha.

He envisioned India building and testing ICBMs from there…long before it became reality.

Know the history before making wild claims.

Absolutely beautiful book ‘The Orissan’ by Sandip Das, his daughter Pallavi Das, and Odia cuisine expert/ food photographer Alka Jena. It is a stunning cultural cookbook that captures the soul of Odisha through its food, festivals, maritime legacy and people. Across a 376-page visual journey, it takes us through the fascinating regional diversity of Odisha. I have known Sandip and his creative family for years. Highly recommend.

Not Delhi. Not Mumbai.
India’s best public transport system is in Bhubaneswar.🚌

While cities chased metros, Bhubaneswar fixed its buses — launching Mo Bus with CCTV, panic buttons, real-time tracking, clean shelters, and last-mile e-rickshaws.

Ridership jumped 200%. 57% shifted from private vehicles.

40% conductors are women. Inclusivity isn’t a slogan here.

Cleaner air. Safer streets. Rebuilt trust.

If Bhubaneswar can do it, why can’t your city? Tell us in the comments below.

Being from the same district, this recognition means a lot. His vision and dedication toward establishing strong legal institutions in Odisha were truly remarkable. It’s heartening to see his contributions being remembered today...

[Press Trust of India @PTI_News]

VIDEO | Bhadrak: Odisha remembers Abdus Sobhan Khan, first law minister and pillar of the state’s legal & medical institutions.

Izmam, Research Scholar from Jamia and the great-grandson of Abdus Sobhan Khan, says, "He was the first Law Minister of Odisha, and during his tenure, a committee was formed for the establishment of a High Court, based on whose recommendations the High Court was set up in Odisha."

Delhi University Professor Sarita Bhoi says, "Abdus Sobhan Khan contributed in an exemplary way to establish the High Court of Odisha."

Congress MLA Sofia Firdous says, "It was during his time that the groundwork for the High Court in Cuttack was established. Beyond this, his overall contribution was remarkable."
