Sometimes, the loudest protest begins...
After the problem has already been solved.
That is when you stop following slogans.
And start following the timeline.
Before you decide who the villain is...
Read the timeline.
Because dates don't shout.
They don't trend.
They don't protest.
They simply expose the truth.
May 3.
NEET examination.
Within four days, the NTA detected fraud.
The very next day, it informed the police.
The investigation began.
The Government cancelled the May 3 examination.
May 12.
The Ministry of Education filed a written complaint.
The CBI registered the case.
Special investigation team (SIT) were formed immediately.
May 15.
Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan addressed the nation.
He apologised.
Accepted moral responsibility.
Announced the re-NEET schedule.
Then came the bigger announcement.
From next year,
Major national examinations would move towards
computer-based, multi-encrypted testing (CBT).
A permanent safeguard.
Not another temporary fix.
Meanwhile,
The CBI moved fast.
Arrests began.
The network expanded.
Soon, 13 accused were behind bars.
June 21.
Fresh NEET examination conducted successfully.
July 16.
Results declared.
Now students wait for counselling.
But this story is bigger than one examination.
Paper leaks are not new.
Every student preparing next year will carry the same anxiety.
I am with students.
Now comes the real question.
If the examination was cancelled...
The re-exam was conducted...
The results were declared...
The investigation was underway...
And structural reforms were already announced...
Then what exactly is the endgame of this protest?
If the demand is...
"Remove the Minister."
Then what?
What comes next?
What reform is on the table?
What solution replaces the one already announced?
These are fair questions.
Another one is equally important.
Who loses the most...
If encrypted, computer-based (CBT) examinations,
make organised paper leaks almost impossible?
Students?
Or those who profited from the old system?
Coaching Mafia?
Corrupted Academicians?
Tainted Beuraucrats?
Or those who is taking advantage of students emotions.
Bhim Army?
Aam Aadmi Party?
Congress?
Communist Party?
One fact cannot be ignored.
If technology shuts the door on organised paper leaks...
An entire illegal ecosystem stands to lose.
That is why the real battle is bigger than one Minister.
Or even one Government.
Goverments will come and go.
Party will win and loose.
But this nation will remain.
And it should at any cost.
Bigger than one Leader or person.
It is about one question.
Will India finally dismantle the business model...
Built on stealing honest students' hard-earned opportunities?
That... is the fight worth having.
It is painful to see India face the adverse consequences of a war we have nothing to do with, particularly because of raw material security. We don’t have to import 90% of our oil, or 95% of our copper or 99.5% of our gold or any other metal resources. Mother Earth has given us the best geology. Last 40 years of practice in the minerals, metals and oil industry have taught me this. Now is the time, with this positive government, to give entrepreneurs freedom.
At just 19, I came to Bombay from Bihar and built a company in this industry from scratch. Vedanta was able to acquire Hindustan Zinc and BALCO under a privatisation programme which was never completed. 26% and 49% stakes are still held by the government and not been transferred as per a predetermined agreement. Vedanta also acquired ONGC Oil and Gas asset via UK’s Cairn and Sesa Goa Iron ore from Japan’s Mitsui.
In each one, the ambition and goal was to increase the production so much that India wouldn’t need to import but, in fact export. In Hindustan Zinc and BALCO, we succeeded. We increased zinc production 10 times, 20 times in aluminium. In the process, more than 1,000 companies have come up for processing this raw material. And Vedanta has contributed Rs 4.5 lakh crore to the exchequer in the last ten years. In oil and gas, our vision is to produce 1 million barrels per day. In iron ore, my vision is to produce 100 million tonnes, 33% of today’s production level. There are many more underperforming government assets that can perform the same way.
Three or four decades ago, there was no know-how, no experts, no finance in this industry. It took a lot of determination. Vedanta raised 35 billion USD from abroad and invested in India. It brought experts and technology. Because of that, Hindustan Zinc can also produce silver and fertiliser, and we are working very hard to start producing critical minerals very soon, something we were told would never happen in India.
Globally, only few very large companies engage in mining as it is very difficult without scale. Vedanta should be for India what Rio Tinto and BHP are for Australia or Vale is for Brazil. Other entrepreneurs and companies must create new Vedantas.
Most of the advanced countries have become prosperous by developing natural resources, including oil and gas. In India, the system has to stop creating hurdles. It needs to take a long-term view, as this government is not revenue-minded but, production-minded. It must facilitate. Instead of notices and judicial activity, all businesses need to receive recognition and respect. Benefit of doubt should pass onto them.
In India, we have economic heroes who can raise production equal to the biggest and best in the world. We should not allow tunnel vision or outdated mindset to keep us small and dependent. Some may remember the case of Rio Tinto which had invested in a diamond mine in Madhya Pradesh. It could have made India a global hub for diamond production, but they exited because of a complex, interfering and discouraging system.
The most important thing is trust. Keep the system simple, keep regulation limited and you eliminate the root cause of wrongdoing. We should have self-certification instead of lengthy approvals and clearances. The Government issues the rulebook and entrepreneurs strictly comply, subject to audit. Constant enquiry and interference only discourage enterprise. Also, the mindset of discrimination between public sector and private sector should change.
This year my family had the biggest tragedy. It was heartening to hear the words of the Prime Minister who said, “You must stay strong and continue to do work which is important for India.” That is the motivation of my life. I have the blessings of my grandfather and grandmother, who spent 40 years in Vrindavan in a small hut, in Manav Seva Sangh with their guruji, Swami Sharnanand Ji Maharaj. They always advised me, if you have wealth, you must use it for society. If you don’t have wealth, you must always help society with your hand. We all are willing to work hard, take risks and ensure that India becomes self-sufficient. The system should encourage us to deliver for our society and nation; this will eradicate unemployment and encourage women empowerment. This sector has given the maximum revenue to the exchequer in India and in the world for nation-building. It will help in making our country a developed nation, as envisioned by our Prime Minister. Let’s make India & Indians proud.
This one is for my fans, who have been so patient with me, and been clamouring for a turn like this. I love you all, and I promise you, this time, a cinematic experience like never before.
With your blessings, we embark on this great, big motion picture adventure with spirited energy and pure intent.
This time, it’s personal.

Good morning, everyone!
58 years in the making, 34 years in this industry, over 150 films & counting.
To everyone that ever believed in me, who bought a ticket, who signed me, produced me, directed me and guided me, this is your journey as much as mine. I'm just here to say an eternal 'Thank You' for every kind action, unconditional support, and words of encouragement. I am nothing without you, my Birthday is a dedication to all those that still believe me.
Love & Prayers,
Your Akshay
Jai Mahakal 🙏🏼
Ps: Many thanks to the very talented Rahul Nanda for capturing my life's work for my favourite people on the planet, my Fans 🙏🏼
Wearing the Indian jersey, singing the anthem, and trying my best each time I stepped on the field - it’s impossible to put into words what it truly meant. But as they say, all good things must come to an end, and with immense gratitude I have decided to retire from all forms of Indian cricket.
Thank you for all the love and support! 🙏🇮🇳
