On the left is Nikhil Ravishankar. He went to school in New Zealand, worked all his life in NZ. Yet in 2025 when he was appointed CEO of Air New Zealand, the wave of online racism directed at him became such a tsunami that the country's 3 leading media outlets, the New Zealand Herald, 1News and Radio New Zealand, had to shut down their comments section. The sheer volume of racist comments made it impossible for moderators to do their job. It was like half the population of New Zealand had decided to be racist on Ravishankar.

On the right is Air India’s current CEO - New Zealander Campbell Wilson whose appointment in 2022 attracted no such backlash in India. Wilson hails from Christchurch, arguably the most racist city in New Zealand.

India was supposed to run out of Fuel and Gas in 25 days.

Yet after 100 days of war, everything is normal in the country.

When the Iran war erupted, experts predicted India would run out of fuel in weeks.

The logic seemed simple.

India imports over 85% of its crude oil.

The Strait of Hormuz carries nearly 20% of global oil trade.

Block Hormuz and India suffers.

Yet months later, there are no fuel queues, no rationing, no shortages.

Why?

Because India was never sitting on just "25 days of reserves."

Officially, India had around 60 days of actual stock cover and 74 days of total reserve capacity. More importantly, India had already secured alternative supplies before panic reached television studios.

The real story is bigger than oil.

It is about how Modi transformed India from an energy buyer into an energy power.

When the crisis came, India did not ask who would save it.

India had already prepared to save itself.

That is the difference between governance and headlines.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I lack civic sense.

They can overturn cars, burn streets,
and vandalize a city after a championship game.
I dance at an airport excited about my first foreign trip, and suddenly I am the face of poor civic sense.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I steal jobs.

They move factories across oceans,
shift profits through tax havens,
and automate entire industries overnight.
I study, compete, earn a visa, work 18 hours a day, sometimes multiple jobs and somehow I am the one stealing jobs and scamming the system.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am everywhere.

I build your software,
treat your illness,
teach your children,
drive your taxis,
and open your stores.
The world became a village,
yet my presence remains a problem.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am too loud.

The evening news screams outrage.
Political rallies shake entire cities.
The internet echoes with anger day and night.
I celebrate a wedding, a festival, a victory,
and I am told my joy is too loud.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I smell of curry.

The world smells of gunpowder,
of hatred,
of division,
of endless arguments about race and religion.
I carry the fragrance of spices from my grandmother's kitchen,
and somehow that is what offends.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I have no culture.

I come from a civilization that counted the stars
when much of the world was still learning maps.
I speak languages older than nations.
I celebrate hundreds of traditions,
yet I am told I have no culture.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am backward.

I send missions to the Moon.
I build vaccines for millions.
I run companies across continents.
Yet a viral video of one fool becomes evidence against a billion people.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I worship celebrities.

I celebrate my favorite actor's success
with flowers, music, and a few glasses of milk.

Others worship influencers who sell outrage, turn every disagreement into a battlefield, and every opinion into a war.
Yet my celebration is the one that makes headlines.

I am an Indian,

and everyone says I gather in crowds.

We walk together in processions,
celebrating our faith, our culture, our traditions.

Everyone is welcome.
No shops are looted.
No neighborhoods are burned.
No one is threatened for thinking differently.

We sing.
We dance.
We pray.
And somehow our gathering becomes the problem.

I am an Indian,

and everyone says I bring my culture everywhere.

I light a lamp in a foreign land.
I wear a saree in the snow.
I teach my children the language of their grandparents.

Others build walls between neighbors,
argue endlessly over identity,
and forget where they came from.
Yet I am told I should leave my culture behind.

I am an Indian,

and everyone says I live in the past.

But my past gave me yoga,
mathematics, philosophy, meditation,
and the idea that the world is one family.

The future keeps borrowing from my past,
while telling me to be embarrassed by it.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I should be ashamed.

Ashamed of my accent.
Ashamed of my food.
Ashamed of my festivals.
Ashamed of my traditions.
Ashamed of existing.

But I am not ashamed.

I am the child of farmers and philosophers,
scientists and saints, workers and dreamers.

I come from a land that taught the world
that truth can be many-sided,
that all paths deserve respect,
and that the entire world is one family.

Yes, we have flaws. Every nation does.

But judge me by my actions, not by your stereotypes.

For I am an Indian.

And before you tell me what is wrong with me, look honestly at what you have normalized in yourself.

For I am an Indian.

The world may mock my accent,
question my customs,
laugh at my celebrations,
and judge me through a thousand stereotypes.

Yet I stand tall.
For I belong to a civilization older than empires, a culture richer than prejudice, and a people whose spirit refuses to bend.

Jai Hind

■ You know S. Jaishankar, India’s sharp, no-nonsense External Affairs Minister.
But do you know about his father?
Meet Krishnaswamy Subrahmanyam, widely regarded as the Father of India’s Nuclear Doctrine, one of the most influential voices in Indian national security, legendary strategic thinker, and civil servant.

■ Born in Tiruchirapalli, Tamil Nadu, K. Subrahmanyam topped the IAS exam and joined the 1951 batch. A brilliant mind with an MSc in Chemistry, he redefined how India thought about power, security, and survival in a hostile world.

□ Pioneering Defence Strategist: Founding Director of the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA) twice. He mentored generations of analysts and shaped India’s defence discourse for decades.

□ Nuclear Visionary: Fiercest advocate for India’s nuclear weapons programme. He strongly backed the 1974 Pokhran test, and played a central role in the 1998 tests. He chaired the National Security Advisory Board that drafted India’s nuclear doctrine - No First Use + Credible Minimum Deterrence.

□ Kargil Review Committee Chairman (1999): His committee’s explosive report led to major reforms in intelligence and defence structure, paving the way for the creation of the Chief of Defence Staff post years later.

□ 1971 Bangladesh War: One of the strongest voices pushing India to intervene and stop the humanitarian catastrophe.

□ Fearless Civil Servant: Served as Defence Production Secretary, Home Secretary of Tamil Nadu, and more. He was removed and superseded for speaking truth to power yet never compromised his principles.

■ On 24 August 1984, K. Subrahmanyam was a passenger on Indian Airlines Flight 421 (Delhi to Srinagar), which was hijacked by pro-Khalistani militants shortly after takeoff. The plane was diverted to Lahore and then Dubai. As a young IFS officer, S. Jaishankar was part of the crisis management team in Delhi handling the negotiations. Four hours into the ordeal, when he called home to say he couldn’t return because of the hijacking, he discovered that his own father was on the plane. All passengers were eventually released safely in Dubai. Even under threat, Subrahmanyam reportedly used the situation to observe and gather insights.

■ He authored/co-authored over a dozen books, wrote incisive columns for decades, advised Prime Ministers across parties, and influenced the Indo-US civilian nuclear deal. A true realpolitik thinker who understood China, Pakistan, and global power games long before others did.

■ Married to Sulochana, the couple raised four accomplished children, including:
□ S. Jaishankar (Foreign Minister)
□ Sanjay Subrahmanyam (renowned historian)
□ S. Vijay Kumar (senior IAS officer)
□ Sudha Subrahmanyam.

■ Subrahmanyam declined the Padma Bhushan, believing public servants and journalists shouldn’t chase honours. Even in his final years battling cancer, his intellect remained razor-sharp.

■ He passed away on 2 February 2011. India’s strategic community mourned with the words:
“Subrahmanyam is dead. India’s strategists are widowed.”

In the grand tapestry of India’s destiny, K. Subrahmanyam was not just a proud father, but also the quiet architect of a nation’s awakening, a luminous mind that lit the path of strategic wisdom, a steadfast guardian of sovereignty, and a timeless flame of patriotism whose glow continues to guide India’s journey through the corridors of power and peace. A patriot, intellectual, and nation-builder in the truest sense. 🇮🇳🙏🏻

Norway’s Prime Minister @jonasgahrstore decisively shuts down alleged journalist @HelleLyngSvends, reminding her to respect India’s democratic mandate and understand the sheer scale and complexity of 1.4 billion people shaped by countless cultures, religions, histories and lived experiences.

A much-needed reality check for those who think India can be lectured to with arrogance and ignorance.

Will agenda peddling Helle Lyng finally stop lazy anti-India narratives now?

Just couple of hours ago, @latha_venkatesh (over)smartly retweeted a 2012 tweet of then Gujarat CM @narendramodi ji. It appeared on my timeline.

But it seems she removed her retweet after the @CNBCTV18News #FakeNews controversy.

Fortunately, I happened to take a screenshot, to respond a little later.

Latha Venkatesh tried to peddle the narrative that the 2012 fuel hike by the Manmohan Singh led government is comparable to today's price hike.

It is not!!

In 2026, fuel prices have risen because a war between Israel and Iran has shaken global oil markets, pushing crude prices up worldwide.

India, which imports most of its oil, is simply absorbing that external shock.

In 2012, under Manmohan Singh, petrol prices were hiked by ₹7.5+ in one go. Not because of a sudden war, but due to internal fiscal stress and wrong policy decisions.

Big difference.

One is a war-driven global crisis. The other was a domestic policy shock. Don’t confuse compulsion with choice.

When you're making a comparison next time, don't be selective with facts, Latha!!

One mother forbade medicines to the dying, converted them, then laughed at the death count; the other mother has provided free treatment to 5.9 million, built 13 million sqft, 95 OT, 101 speciality, 4050 bed hospitals employing 1540 doctors.

The first mother got the Nobel Prize.
