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.
History will always remember these two people for saving the entire Hindu community from the false propaganda of the Western media
Forever grateful beyond words 🙏!!
When the world was slamming doors on Jews, India opened them. A maharaja in Nawanagar told Polish orphans, many of them Jewish children fleeing hell: you are no longer orphans. You are ours. An industrialist from Ludhiana forged jobs and visas in Nazi Vienna so Jewish families could live. Thousands of German-speaking Jews found shelter on Indian soil when “civilized” Europe was hunting them. India did not do it for cameras. It did it because that is who we are.
What Captain Smit Machchhar did today was not a miracle. It was India 🇮🇳.
Stabbed in the cockpit of a Flydubai flight bound for Tel Aviv. Plane plunging. Co-pilot trying to turn 180 lives into another 9/11. And an ordinary Indian captain from Gujarat fought, bled, unlocked the door, and refused to let the aircraft die. Most of those passengers were Israelis. An Indian kept them alive.
This is not new.
Look at the record after that. Earthquake. Tsunami. Cyclone. War. Famine of water. India is often the first wheels on the ground, Nepal, Maldives, Türkiye, Syria, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, even Venezuela, while the same world lectures us, mocks our accents, our gods, our food, our skin, our success. We arrive anyway. We build. We treat. We fly home quietly.
Every day, millions of Indians thousands of miles from home are doing this: flying the plane, running the ward, fixing the grid, coding the system, mopping the floor no one else will mop. Not the most polished. Not always the most sophisticated. But they show up. They hold the line. They do not ask the passenger’s passport before they bleed for them.
And still they are targeted. Still they are the punchline. Still they are told they do not belong in the very countries they keep standing.
Remember the name: Captain Smit Machchhar. Pray for his recovery. Then remember the larger truth, this was not an exception. This is the pattern. India does not wait to be loved before it saves you.
If that offends anyone, good. Let it.
This man is a hero.
Captain Smit Machchhar, the Indian captain of flydubai Flight 1073, fought back after being stabbed in the cockpit.
Despite being severely injured, he managed to unlock the cockpit door - allowing Israeli passengers and the Emirati crew to intervene and save all the passengers.
Together, their extraordinary courage saved 174 lives.
Indian. Israeli. Emirati.
Different nationalities. One extraordinary act of courage. 🇮🇳🇮🇱🇦🇪
We wish Captain Machchhar a full and speedy recovery.
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.
@armukund@sgurumurthy My point is KA as individual is same irrespective of his place. I trust his integrity to politics. If you look for change in politics KA is only option. KA critics should clarify who is the alternative? He clarified already why he is alternative. I trust him
@armukund@sgurumurthy Doesn’t matter. If leadership and ideology is not able to effectively fight the system and bring any change then it’s of no use. Hypocrisy is having alliance with ADMK. Please walk the talk. Don’t have any alliance with your ideological opponents and preach others
@Randeep_Sisodia If he was in BJP only he has to fight as he says. No time to do constructive things. He will fight in ground and Amitshah will use that to bargain with DMK/ADMK

Steve Jobs is the Ilaiyaraaja of technology.
Ilaiyaraaja may be the only composer who never seems to care whether a song will be a hit while composing it. He never made music to suit the audience’s taste. He creates music that makes the audience develop a taste for it.
Steve Jobs once said, “People don’t know what they want until you show it to them.” Ilaiyaraaja is the same for music.
