“It brings me great joy to re-air this special performance and thank you to India and countries all over the world for the outpouring of love towards this performance.

Today on Luxembourg national day, we celebrate all that unites us and brings us together. A country in the heart of Europe where people from over a hundred nationalities live together by choice — in peace, freedom, and prosperity.
But nothing worth having comes easy. Peace, freedom, and democracy do not just happen. It requires commitment — every single day.
To remain who we are, we must keep moving forward — without ever losing sight of our shared values.
There’s a larger life lesson for everyone in the way that @narendramodi and @AmitShah handled the political situation post June 4. When things go wrong, don’t press the panic button. Put your head down. Introspect. Never let ego get in the way of making tactical compromises. Don’t get distracted by the noise made by your detractors. Focus your energy on what’s truly consequential. Let the result of your work speak for itself. High performance is the best way to silence critics. Trying to win arguments with those who hate you is a complete waste of time.
LOP Thiru @RahulGandhi takes immense pleasure in belittling his motherland from foreign soil and speaks of matters not in existence, such as the Hindi Imposition he has spoken about today.
The First National Educational Policy, rolled out by his Grandmother, Smt Indira Gandhi avl, made Hindi Mandatory for all Indians, and the Second National Educational Policy, rolled out by his father, Thiru Rajiv Gandhi avl, encouraged the use and learning of Hindi as a common language for all Indians.
For the first time, the National Education Policy rolled out in 2020 has emphasised learning in one’s mother tongue. The question now is, who imposed Hindi on all citizens of our Country? Was it our Hon PM Thiru @narendramodi avl or the Congress party?
Has Thiru @RahulGandhi forgotten that former Home Minister Thiru @PChidambaram_IN made 117 recommendations to promote Hindi in the 9th Committee of Parliament on Official Language report in 2011? We wish to recommend that Thiru @RahulGandhi read those recommendations and condemn himself for their total disregard the Congress party displayed for regional languages and for imposing Hindi.
As many could voice what our Hon PM has done for their mother tongue, let me express what PM Modi has done for my mother tongue, Tamil:
-For the first time, a Prime Minister of our Country spoke in Tamil at the UN. Addressing the 74th UN General Assembly, our Hon PM said, “Yathum Oore Yavarum Kaeleer”, signifying that the World is one.
-In the Honour of Mahakavi Subramanya Bharathi, his birthday, December 11th, was announced as National Languages Day. A Tamil chair was introduced at Banaras Hindu University.
-For the first time, India witnessed the Government arranging the Sangam of two cultures: The Kashi Tamil Sangamam and the Saurashtra Tamil Sangamam.
-In the first edition of Kashi Tamil Sangamam, our Hon PM released Thirukural in 13 languages and in Braille in the 2nd edition as part of his aspiration to release Thirukural in at least 100 languages, a testament to his respect for our diverse linguistic heritage.
-To promote the classical status of the Tamil Language, our Hon PM inaugurated the new campus of the Central Institute of Classical Tamil (CICT) at a cost of ₹24 crore.
-The Chola Pride, the symbol of the transfer of power from colonial British to Independent India, the Sengol, banished as a walking stick in a museum, is now restored to its rightful place in the new parliament building.
-To preserve Tamil Culture and history in Northern Sri Lanka, our Hon PM sanctioned the construction of the Jaffna Cultural Centre for ₹120 Crores.
-Our Hon PM announced a Statue for Saint Thiruvalluvar in Cergy, France, during his visit in July 2023, and it was established in December 2023.
-The recent announcement of establishing the Thiruvalluvar Cultural Centre in Singapore.
Our Hon PM Thiru @narendramodi avl has taken the pride of Tamil across the world like never before, and it is understandable for the Congress party to feel the anguish of not being able to deliver 10% of what PM Modi has done to promote regional language despite being in power for 6 decades.
@IndianTechGuide It will be a strong step forward to promote talent flow inward and outward. It could be complex bureaucratic thing, but India can do it, as she is spearheading the governance digitalization all over the world . @DrSJaishankar sir, please take this very positive step forward
