A matter of Pride for every citizen of Bharat. -Sg @PMOIndia@FinMinIndia
Am amazing performance from India to win the #ChampionsTrophy against a very determined New Zealand side, which never gave up. Well done also to Rohit Sharma on leading his team to consecutive @ICC men's trophies, following last year's @T20WorldCup victory.
Let’s be honest India are the best team in the world in white ball cricket by a decent margin .. Throughly deserved to Win .. T20 holders/Champions trophy holders .. Now down to rest to try and catch up .. #India
BJP lacks in showing the work they are doing. I am sure many of us were not aware about this GOI Initiative. Modi ji please use a good PR for the work you do.
India has to value people who do hands-on work, including electricians, plumbers, welders and nurses. We need people who build things.
We do not need more Economics or Political Science or History majors. I study history, philosophy and economics but I would never want to get a degree in any of them.
Opening ever more degree colleges does not build skills and does not offer livelihoods.
No matter what happens at the @FIDE_chess World Championship, at 18 years young, Gukesh is still at least 10 years away from his peak strength as a player. He’s not a fluke, not a one and done. We are looking at a future all-time great who will be around for a long time to come.
And then she jumped.
It was the year 1323 CE.
Srirangam was attacked by the Delhi Sultanate during the Tamil month of Vaikasi. Nearly, 12,000 residents of Srirangam island had laid down their lives fighting to protect the temple. The forces attacked the temple and Lord Ranganatha's jewels and the temple gold were taken away.
The forces also wanted to seize the murti of Vishnu. They searched for the murti but the Vaishnavite Acharya, Pillailokacharya had taken the murti away and fled to Madurai. (The murti of Vishnu, called Namperumal that left Srirangam in 1323 returned back only in 1371).
Unable to locate the murti, the Sultanate forces killed the temple authorities and later launched a massive hunt for Pillailokacharya and Namperumal.
Fearing that the forces would capture the Acharya and the idol, Vellayi, a temple dancer performed a dance before the commander of the forces thus gaining time for Pillailokacharya to escape with the image.
Her dance lasted for hours together and finally she took the commander to the eastern gopuram and pushed him down. After killing him, Vellayi jumped to her death from the tower of the eastern entrance chanting the name of Ranganathar.
Hailing Vellayi's sacrifice, the chief of Vijayanagara forces, Kempanna, who drove away the Sultanate forces, named the tower after her. The gopuram continues to be painted white in her memory and now called as Vellai Gopuram.
Lest we forget.

The thought of who is India's @elonmusk has come to many minds. An embodiment of ambition+tech+impact. We need to look beyond the startup space to find the person who has time again created pioneering, enduring businesses & platforms.
For me that is @NandanNilekani.
