The Padma awards were once reserved for the elites, power brokers, and lobbyists.
The Modi govt has truly democratised these awards & recognised social workers and unsung heroes deeply connected to the grassroots.
What has changed since 2014? This is one of the many examples.
जब भी संभव हो, अपने माता-पिता, दादा-दादी, नाना-नानी और अन्य प्रियजनों को फोन कर उनका हालचाल अवश्य पूछें। उन्हें पर्याप्त पानी पीने, दोपहर की तेज धूप में बाहर न निकलने और जितना हो सके, आराम करने की सलाह दें।
घुसपैठ और अन्य कारणों से Unnatural Demographic Change किसी भी राष्ट्र के वर्तमान व भविष्य के लिए एक बहुत बड़ी चुनौती है।
इसी चुनौती से निपटने के लिए 15 अगस्त 2025 को प्रधानमंत्री @narendramodi जी ने ‘High-Level Committee on Demographic Change’ की घोषणा की थी। मुझे बताते हुए हर्ष हो रहा है कि सरकार ने इस कमिटी का गठन कर लिया है।
जस्टिस प्रकाश प्रभाकर नावलेकर (सेवानिवृत्त) की अध्यक्षता में बनी इस कमिटी में जनगणना आयुक्त के साथ श्री दुर्गा शंकर मिश्रा (Retd IAS), श्री बालाजी श्रीवास्तव (Retd IPS) और डॉ. शमिका रवि समिति के सदस्य होंगे। संयुक्त सचिव (Foreigners-I), गृह मंत्रालय, इस समिति के सदस्य सचिव होंगे।
Demographic Change हमारी संप्रभुता के साथ ही राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षा, कानून व्यवस्था, सामाजिक संरचना में गंभीर बदलाव और जनजातीय समाज के संरक्षण से जुड़ी एक गंभीर समस्या है। यह कमिटी, अवैध प्रवास और अन्य असामान्य कारणों से पूरे भारत में हो रहे demographic changes का व्यापक मूल्यांकन करेगी और धार्मिक एवं सामाजिक समुदायों के स्तर पर असामान्य जनसंख्या परिवर्तनों के pattern का विश्लेषण करेगी तथा इसका सुनियोजित और समयबद्ध समाधान प्रस्तुत करेगी।
The amount of fake references in the works of "eminent" historians is mind boggling. Whole chapters are based on claims with no primary evidence but circular referencing to each other's writings.

What PM Modi achieved in his recent 5-country tour:
1) UAE : India-UAE working towards doubling bilateral trade to $200 Billion, stronger long-term crude oil & LNG supply agreements and expansion of India's strategic oil reserves.
2) Netherlands : Semiconductor cooperation, critical technology partnership and stronger investment push from Europe into India.
3) Sweden : AI, advanced manufacturing and technology partnerships; major focus on jobs, industrial collaboration and innovation ecosystem.
4) Norway : India-EFTA Trade Agreement target: $100 Billion investment into India and nearly 10 lakh jobs over 15 years; deeper cooperation on food, fuel and fertiliser security.
5) Italy : India-Italy aiming for €20 Billion bilateral trade target by 2029; multiple agreements in maritime transport, agriculture, critical minerals and strategic cooperation.
What we are discussing:
1) PM Modi didn't answer questions of a journalist
2) PM Modi asked everybody not to travel abroad and himself roaming abroad.
3) PM Modi is giving chocolates to Italian PM.
This is how the ecosystem works.
They make sure the achievements don't become the discussion.
And unfortunately, we often fall into their trap.
So far in 3 days ::
1. UAE
- Strategic Oil reserves
- Direct investment into NIIF and other funds
2. Netherlands
- ASML deal signed
3. Sweden
- 6G Partnership solidified
- Quantum computing network
That’s just some outcomes from my lens of PM @narendramodi ‘s multi nation visit.

पवित्र सोमनाथ मंदिर के गगनचुंबी शिखर पर गर्व के साथ लहराता पावन ध्वज भारतवर्ष की आस्था की विजय का प्रतीक है। यह कोटि-कोटि भारतीयों की सामूहिक चेतना का दिव्य उद्घोष भी है। सोमनाथ के शिखर पर केसरिया ध्वज हमारी अटूट श्रद्धा की जीवंत विजयगाथा है। यह ध्वज अनंतकाल तक भारत के गौरव का गान करता रहेगा, हर भारतीय को प्रेरणा देता रहेगा।
Washington Post on Narendra Modi!
"More votes have been cast for Modi than for any politician in human history, by a margin in the hundreds of millions."
"Modi has comfortably outperformed every other democratically elected leader in the world in Morning Consult’s global leader approval tracker for many years, despite the longevity of his tenure"
The most popular leader in the world bows down to the people. We know why he is who he is. "The best ornament is humility." Dhammapada #Historic_Dawn@narendramodi
A rare India-positive piece in @washingtonpost: “The BJP is consolidating power just as India takes its place among the world’s great powers: largest by population, second-largest by military personnel, on the way to becoming third-largest by economy, and the only nation with the potential to counterbalance China in Asia.”
The piece argues, “More votes have been cast for Modi than for any politician in human history, by a margin in the hundreds of millions. Modi has comfortably outperformed every other democratically elected leader in the world in Morning Consult’s global leader approval tracker for many years, despite the longevity of his tenure.” https://t.co/kt4N0fYJgl
What Mamta Banerjee is suggesting is anti constitution; anti Ambedkar and constitutional blasphemy apart from being post poll tantrum
She wants to overturn concept of Peaceful Transfer of Power
This is the cornerstone of our constitutional system
She is suggesting short circuiting it via violence like Capitol Hill riots
This is unbelievable - no so called Sanvidhan Rakshak (INDI alliance ) can support this surely !
