Grateful to have been part of the selection, led throughout by @TimesNow, alongside a distinguished panel of fellow jurors. The quiet, sincere work of these heroes holds a mirror to us all — and calls each of us to serve. #AmazingIndians2026 #UnsungHeroes #NationBuilding

A rich and interactive dialogue on the nuclear dimension at the inaugural @orfonline–@MIT_SSP engagement. Great to think alongside some of the sharpest minds from both sides. My thanks to co-panelist Dr Jack Cooper, moderator @ProfHarshVPant and @NarangVipin. Conversations like these surface the options a shifting nuclear order will demand.

The inaugural @orfonline – @MIT_SSP 🇮🇳🇺🇸 strategic dialogue ended with 2 days of focused discussions examining the nuclear dimension - deterrence, escalation, emerging tech, risk reduction & civil-nuclear coop. Grateful to all the leading experts from both sides. @NarangVipin

Army has quickly and quietly organised itself for future threats.

This is amazing work and we haven’t appreciated it enough.

The purpose has been integration at strategic level & jointness at operational level. That is the most effective & economical way to handle security threats & conflicts. Like elsewhere in world, political leadership has to enforce timely implementation of th agenda.@nitingokhale
