Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela. It should inspire those engaged in similar struggles around the world - and remind those of us lucky enough to live in America that we have a solemn responsibility to constantly preserve and defend our own hard-won democratic traditions.

He focused on education inside prison to cope with his incarceration and wrote Horror Saga, a poetic narrative about his experiences.

In his 126th episode, Mann Ki Baat, PM Modi (@narendramodi) says, "2nd October is Gandhi Jayanti. Gandhiji always emphasized adopting Swadeshi, with Khadi being the most prominent. Unfortunately, after independence, Khadi’s charm had dimmed, but in the past 11 years, people’s interest in Khadi has grown significantly. In recent years, Khadi sales have surged. I urge all of you to buy at least one Khadi product on 2nd October. Say with pride – it is Swadeshi. Also, share it on social media with #VocalForLocal."
