Don’t know who the comic is, but he was definitely gross and unfunny. The hardest thing about political satire is the difference between sharp & cruel. This was not sharp, it was cruel, the timing was off, it landed badly even with Congress supporters. When your star campaigner is going to share stage with a performer you should have checked his jokes and done a dummy run in front of mixed audiences. Now the fallout is shared by your leader. The opposition had enough jokes to crack on Dr MMS silences or Mr ABV’s pauses or Deve Gowda’s napping or Rajiv Gandhi’s fumbles but the then top opposition leaders never indulged in it. They instinctively knew. They didn’t have MBA analysts with laptops egging them on. The office of the PM is respected & you might make fun of the person in private but on public platforms the language is formal, the criticism needs to be satirical and indirect. The Jantar Mantar event seems to have misled many people to believe that India’s public language has changed across the country. It might have to some extent, granted. But they don’t want you to adopt it. From you they expect decorum. That is why you are leaders, we/they are masses.

What a turnaround for Canada. Trudeau reduced India-Canada ties to domestic vote-bank politics. Carney is rebuilding them around India’s global weight.

WHEN FOOD AND ENERGY SECURITY ARE AT STAKE, THE WORLD DOESN’T LOOK TO SLOGAN-SHOUTERS.

It looks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Canadian PM Mark Carney has publicly recognised PM Modi’s leadership in stabilising grain supplies to Africa and the Middle East and easing pressure on global energy markets.

Not photo-op diplomacy, but India shaping outcomes.

🚨 Punjabi for the parade. Indian for the mugshot.

Minister? Punjabi.
Festival? Sikh.
Extortion bust, deportation list, student-visa gang? Suddenly Indian.

That is not culture. That is a brand that keeps the glory and dumps the crime.

Rajdeep: "How do you respond to critics like former BharatPe founder Ashneer Grover?"

PhonePe CEO Sameer Nigam: "I won't comment because I don't take him seriously."

Sometimes one line does more damage than a 30-minute debate.

A Global Icon Honored at the World's Tallest Icon 🇮🇳🇦🇪

In a dazzling display of respect, friendship and strong diplomatic ties, Dubai's iconic Burj Khalifa lit up the UAE skyline to honor Hon'ble Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi Ji on his 75th Birthday.

The world's tallest building illuminated with portraits of PM Modi, the Indian Tricolour, and messages like "Happy Birthday", "75 Years", "Service is the Resolve" and "India First, the Inspiration" — watched by thousands at Downtown Dubai.

This grand tribute is more than a birthday greeting. It is a proud testament to:

✔️ Deep India-UAE Bond: A relationship built on mutual respect, shared prosperity and brotherhood under the leadership of HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and PM Modi.

✔️ Global Statesmanship: As wishes poured in from world leaders — from President Trump, President Putin, PM Netanyahu and many others — this light show at Burj Khalifa stands as a symbol of PM Modi's stature as a truly respected global leader.

✔️ The Spirit of New India: Celebrating the rise of New Delhi on the world stage and the pride of 1.4 billion Indians worldwide, including the vibrant Indian community that calls the UAE home.

From Dubai to New Delhi, we celebrate a leader whose vision inspires Viksit Bharat and strengthens the India-UAE partnership to new heights.

Happy Birthday to Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji.

Wow! Nawang Tsering just completed the 122 km Silk Route Ultra in 12 hours 12 minutes, a winning-level time with a pace of 6 min/km.

The race starts at Nubra Valley at 10,200 ft and it climbs to Khardung La at 17,618 ft.!

Amazing!

A masterclass in standing up to intimidation.

During the Seoul Defense Dialogue 2026, a Chinese military attaché handed Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro a note reiterating Beijing’s claim that the 2016 South China Sea ruling is “illegal, null and void.”

Teodoro read it aloud and dismantled it point by point.

“No binding force” ~ “Because you don’t want to be subjected to UNCLOS.”

“China does not accept the ruling” ~ “Of course, because you lost.”

Then, in Filipino: “Show a little decency. Have a little shame.”

The room applauded.

Teodoro called China’s move “actual coercion, bullying and aggression” and kept the note as a “memento.”

[Aaraadhya Saxena 🇮🇳 @ihailmyindia]

Rahul Gandhi was being projected as the “rising star” when I was in 6th standard. Whereas I learnt abt Modi only in 2012.

Since then, Modi went from CM to PM. I finished my UG, PG & got a job

Meanwhile this man has been the “next big thing” for longer than I’ve been growing up

No fewer than two dozen major wars were fought among the Rajputs with zero Muslim involvement. Not a single episode involved self-immolation of any kind. Not one. Neither Indian, nor foreign accounts record a single instance. Now see this:

- 712-712, Dahir of Sind vs. Muhammad bin Qasim: Jauhar committed.
1232-1232, Gwalior (Rajputs) vs. Iltutmish: Jauhar committed
- 1301-1301, Ranthambore vs. Alauddin Khalji: Jauhar committed
- 1299-1299, Jaisalmer vs. Alauddin Khalji: Jauhar committed
- 1303-1303, Chittor vs. Alauddin Khalji: 1st jauhar of Chittor
- 1327-1327, Kampili vs. Muhammad bin Tughluq: Jauhar committed
- 1326-1326, Jaisalmer vs. Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq: Jauhar committed
- 1486-1486, Kuva (Kankavati) vs. Mahmud Begada: Jauhar committed
- 1528-1528, Chanderi vs. Babur: Jauhar committed.
- 1535-1535, Chittor vs. Bahadur Shah: 2nd jauhar of Chittor
- 1543-1543, Raisen vs. Humayun: 3 jauhars committed
- 1568-1568, Chittor vs. Akbar: 3rd jauhar of Chittor
- 1634-1634, Bundelkhand vs. Aurangzeb: Jauhar committed
- 1710-1710, Daddanala vs. Mir Fazlullah: Jauhar committed

Similarly, when the British came, we had a series of gruesome engagements starting with Plassey and Buxar, then going on to the Carnatic Wars, the Anglo-Mysore Wars, the Anglo-Maratha Wars, the Anglo-Gurkha War, the Anglo-Sikh Wars, the Anglo-Burmese Wars, the Anglo-Afghan Wars, and many, many more.

No jauhar.

Now, when someone like that book reviewer condemns “Hindutva” for “glorifying jauhar,” I am fully on their side. I agree it was a morbid ritual that does not belong in a civilized society, thank goodness we no longer do that. But do you see a pattern in the above lists?

Why do you think this macabre ritual was practiced EXCLUSIVELY in conflicts involving Muslim forces?

Why didn’t women feel the need to self-immolate when their kingdoms fell to any other adversary?

You can’t be dumb enough to not draw the only possible conclusion here.

Nobody glorifies jauhar, it was not picnic.

We “honor” it. No, not the immolation itself but the debilitating sentiment behind it. With the honor we keep our alive in our collective memory. Know why?

Because the demons that drove our ancestors to such extremities still live and breathe amongst us to this day.

And they haven’t changed one bit.

When someone prefers death to your touch, what even are you?

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

India’s exemplary GDP growth of 7.8% during Q1 of FY 2026-27 is a herculean feat.

The collective strength of our people ensured India delivered such growth despite oil price shocks and supply chain issues in the midst of global uncertainties.

Doomsayers were doomed and India bloomed…yet again!
