@TheJoyofGolf Incredible achievement by Pranavi. Speaks volumes about her skill set, powers of concentration for long periods and an unshakeable will to win. Kudos. More to come from her.

He was in jail when his wife told him she had saved ₹10 from family’s ₹50 pension.

He didn't smile.

He wrote to the society & asked them to cut his pension by ₹10—and give it to someone who actually needed it.

When his daughter died during parole, he returned to prison before the leave ended. The parole, he said, was only to look after her. She was gone. His duty was not.

Years later, as Prime Minister, he took a ₹5,000 bank loan to buy a Fiat because he would not use an official car as his own.

He died before he could repay it.

The government offered to waive the loan.

His widow refused — and paid every rupee from her pension.

This was Lal Bahadur Shastri.

Power never raised his standard of living. It only raised his standard of duty.

He died (or killed?) in mysterious conditions in Tashkent after winning 1965 war for Bharat against Pakistan.

To me.... 2nd October matters only because it's Lal Bahadur Shastri Jayanti. Rest anything & everything is irrelevant.

Gold for Ankush!

Congrats to Ankush on winning the Men’s 80kg Boxing Gold at the Asian Games with an emphatic victory in the final. His passion and dedication are noteworthy. His success ensures that India’s boxing campaign at the Asian Games ends on a great note: PM @narendramodi

What an incredible achievement. So proud of her.

Kumkum Mohod and the 2 days Indian archery will never forget.

7x in a row. Since 1998, South Korea had won every women's team recurve gold at the Asian Games.

On 2 October 2026, they were shooting for an 8th.

Standing in the way was a 17 year old from Amravati, whose first bow had cost about ₹3,000.

Recurve is the Olympic style bow, the one whose limbs curve away from the archer at the tips. At the Games, archers shoot it at a target 70 metres away. The ten ring, dead centre, is about 12 cms wide.

Now imagine hitting that, with the whole country watching.

Kumkum Anil Mohod was born on 10 March 2009. In 2018, she was still a schoolgirl, not yet 10, when her mother, Rupali, saw a relative's daughter practising at an archery academy in Amravati, run by coach Prafull Dange. She thought Kumkum should try it.

The 1st bow was a wooden Indian bow. Her father calls it a bamboo bow. It was paid for with money her grandmother gave her.

6 months later, she won a silver medal at the sub-junior nationals.

Her father, Anil Manohar Mohod, makes cardboard boxes for sweet shops in Amravati. As the training costs grew, even the shared auto to the academy became too much. So he took her on his motorcycle.

A 2nd hand bow carried her for years. Later, the family bought a recurve bow from savings built up over time.

She made her international debut in 2025.

At the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, India's women's recurve team of Kumkum, Ankita Bhakat and Kirti Sharma reached the gold medal match. India had never made that final before. Ankita had been on the team that won bronze at Hangzhou.

The last set went to the wire. Korea finished on 54. India had to match it. Kirti's arrow was first called an 8, and a review upgraded it to a 9.

Then came Kumkum's last arrow. It was a ten.

The set was tied. India beat South Korea 5-3, the first women's recurve team gold in the country's history.

The same day, she and Dhiraj Bommadevara took silver in the mixed team event.

The next morning

Today, she was back at the line. She beat Korea's Kang Chaeyoung, the reigning world champion, 6-4 in the quarterfinal. In the semifinal against China's Zhu Jingyi, the 2025 World Championships silver medallist, Zhu's last arrow was a 9. Kumkum needed a 10 to win.

She shot a 10, and won 6-2.

In the final, she faced another Korean, Oh Yejin. It went to 5-5, and to a shoot-off, one arrow each. Oh shot an 8.

Kumkum shot a 10.

She became the 1st Indian woman to win an individual recurve medal at an Asian Games, and it was gold. India's only earlier individual recurve medal at the Games was a silver, won by Tarundeep Rai in 2010. Her run to the final also earned India a country quota place for the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.

In two days, she had beaten Korea's team and two of Korea's archers.

Her father says her biggest dream is still ahead: the Olympics.

A man who makes boxes for other people's sweets. A grandmother's savings. A motorcycle that carried a little girl and her bow to practice. A bow made of bamboo.

And a girl who, when a semifinal needed a 10, shot one, and when gold came down to a single arrow, shot another.

🔹Ankita, the daughter of a milkman from West Bengal, whose father struggled to send her for training on his meagre income.
🔹Kumkum, whose father makes packaging for sweet boxes, grew up in Amravati, Maharashtra.
🔹Kirti, from Haryana, whose father took a ₹60,000 loan to buy her first bow.
They stunned South Korea 5-3 to win the women's team recurve archery gold,ending Korea's 7-title reign 🇮🇳🥇

What a historic achievement for Team India 🇮🇳 at the Chess Olympiad. For 3 Olympiads in a row, the Indian Chess Team has won the prestigious Gaprindashvilli Cup!

This award is for the Team which has the best combined score in Open and Women's events of the Olympiad.

[Nitin Narang @narangnitin]

Six individual medals. And a historic hat trick for India! 🇮🇳

🥇 B Savitha - Gold

The Alchemy of Indian Chess…

In chemistry, Silver is a true noble metal, and Bronze is an alloy forged by bringing elements together.

Honestly, what a fitting metaphor for how our teams played.

Open Team - Silver
Women’s Team - Bronze

Backing up a double-gold performance at the last Olympiad with another double podium at this edition shows real depth.

It’s proof that India’s chess ecosystem is strongly consistent and just keeps producing world-class talent year after year.

Massive congrats to both teams on keeping us at the top! 🇮🇳✨

[mukesh gupta @mukeshgee]

@chesscom_in @chessvaishali @humpy_koneru @vantikachess @DivyaDeshmukh05 Congratulations to the women’s team. It’s a great achievement by all means. Proud.

Neem Karoli Baba will make it happen. Not only in collections which is an unintended consequence. But in the way people watch quietly in an Indian cinema unusually. In the way the audience sit even after the title screen comes on. In the way everyone walks out touched by spirituality. In the way even an atheist's heart feels there's something higher that's guiding him. That is Maharaj ji's way. He's showing the way for a new India. For the new generation. The way back for the masses into spirituality, service, and saintliness of this great civilization. Just in time for the new India that will emerge out of the upcoming chaos and turmoil in the world.
