Coming from Odisha is not something to be ashamed of it is something to be proud of.
Those who mock our identity should remember: from hairpins and aluminium foil to cars and the electricity powering your homes, countless everyday essentials depend on iron ore, bauxite and coal sourced from Odisha.
Respect Odisha. Respect the people whose resources power your lives.
Lal Bahadur Shastri was PM for just 581 days, and still did so much:
> Led Bharat through the 1965 war > Gave us "Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan" > Kickstarted the Green and White Revolutions
He was also honest and moral:
> Resigned as Railway Minister, owning a train accident > Took a bank loan to buy a Fiat; his wife repaid it from her pension after he died
He had a bold vision: > Almost greenlit Bharat's nuclear explosive programme in 1964
Then he died in Tashkent in January 1966. 13 days later, Homi Bhabha died in a plane crash. Bharat's nuclear clock was set back by years.
We still don't fully know what happened in Tashkent.
Happy birthday LBS ❤️ You had a small frame but a giant spine!
@VALO2ASIA so he’s finally leaving china, good for him. that region allows him zero potential for growth. imo him and happywei should both move to a pacific team cuz they’re too good to rot in CN
Saluting Indian Captain #SmitMachchhar who displayed remarkable courage and swift action to save lives of passengers, onboard a flydubai flight. Despite being gravely injured, he fought off his co-pilot to save lives mid-air. India is proud of his bravery and humanity. Wish him speedy recovery and good health.
I am sure of one thing.
If the plane had crashed, BBC & NYT would have blamed the Indian pilot.
And sadly, a large number of Indian liberals too.
In fact, this is almost a Tukaram Omble moment.
Had Tukaram Omble not captured Kasab, ecosystem would have blamed 26/11 on RSS.
Captain Smit Machchhar is a HERO.
In the face of the gravest danger and despite being seriously injured, he showed immense courage and an unwavering resolve to protect the lives of others.
His valour helped save hundreds of lives and avert a great tragedy.
India is proud of Captain Machchhar.
Praying for his speedy recovery, renewed strength and good health.

My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.
Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.
He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.
I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.
He is a true hero.
