During a visit to Captain Smit Machchhar… the flydubai pilot who embodied the highest degrees of courage, responsibility, and care for human life.

From us, and from the leadership of the nation, he has our full appreciation and praise.

We are proud that he is part of our team… part of the story of our nation… and part of what the UAE stands for… a nation of compassion… a nation of peace… and a nation of life.

How does this woman have a visa? @SecRubio you should take her visa away.

Why do we allow anti-America Muslim sympathizers to have visas?

She should have her visa revoked and be deported.

@RanaAyyub is a foreign agitator.

Know your real Avengers 🚨

- Captain Smit Machchhar, who fought the attacker and opened the cockpit
- Asaf Redjuan, who rushed at the attacker
- Israeli dad Tzvika Mans, who tied the attacker with a cable so he couldn't move
- Yaniv Hayon, who handled the aircraft and kept it stable
- Dr. Shota Musaev, who treated the captain and stopped the excessive bleeding.

They all worked together and made sure all those 180 passengers landed safely. Truly, men are brave 🙏

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Captain Smit Machchhar is a HERO.

In the face of the gravest danger and despite being seriously injured, he showed immense courage and an unwavering resolve to protect the lives of others.

His valour helped save hundreds of lives and avert a great tragedy.

India is proud of Captain Machchhar.

Praying for his speedy recovery, renewed strength and good health.

An Indian Hindu helped saved all of those Israelis on board the plane from Dubai today.

Hero.

My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.

Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.

He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.

I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.

He is a true hero.

@TheNavroopSingh This is a completely wrong analysis by whosoever this guy is. If you roam around plants in India, we have started manufacturing in Industries where we were absolute zero e.g. (EMS). Startups in Aerospace, Defense are solving problems for Sovereign Defence.

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! 🇮🇳✨

Good news for Prepaid Mobile Users in India

The Govt just introduced Telecom Consumer Protection (Thirteenth Amendment) Regulations, 2026, consumers will now have:

• 30-day recharge plans, reducing the need for 13 monthly recharges to 12 in a year
• Voice and SMS-only plans for those who do not need data
• More suitable options for low-budget consumers who primarily need basic voice calls

Many of you had shared your concerns with me about limited and inflexible recharge options. I raised this issue in Parliament on 11th March, seeking greater choice and more affordable options for consumers.

I am grateful to the Government of India and TRAI for resolving these concerns in the interest of greater consumer choice and convenience.

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.

Dipke claims that Haryana, MH and Delhi were won by the BJP after Gyanesh became CEC.

Haryana voted in Oct 2024
MH in Nov 2024
Delhi on 5 Feb 2025

Gyanesh Kumar took charge as CEC on 19 February 2025

All three elections took place before he became CEC

Semiconductor Manufacturing projects in India -

~US$20 billion in investments are underway across foundries, OSAT/ATMP, silicon carbide, and advanced packaging.

What stands out is the breadth — from Tata Electronics and Micron to CG Power, Kaynes, HCL-Foxconn and SiCSem. India is slowly building the entire semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem, not just one part of the value chain.

This could genuinely become one of India’s most important new manufacturing sectors over the next decade.

India's exports to China surged 39% to $9.6B in the first 5 months of FY2026-27, leading its 34% export growth to core BRICS markets.

Win-win is the essence of China-India trade. China's huge market welcomes more quality Indian goods. 🇨🇳🇮🇳

Breaking-

Coaches were asked to get off the bus so that the athletes could make it to the shooting range on time on the first day of competition yesterday.

Even some athletes were left behind to figure out their way once the only available bus was full.

The Nagoya reality. As one coach said “Sab kuch Ram Bharose”.

India vs Spain Chess Olympiad Round 4

A much better performance from India on the lower boards against, where things looked like the last two Olympiads. Gukesh is clearly (to me) in top form, and I don't expect him to lose any games in this event, and one should expect him to win whenever the team needs it. Nihal is in good form, but he's going to need it because Round 4 is a tough match-up. Boards 1 and 2 were very shaky today, and that might be a problem against an even stronger team.

Both teams will have completely predictable board orders except for Spain. My best guess is Shirov would play ahead of Yuufa, but other than that both teams would play their top lineup by rating.

Board 1: David Anton vs Pragg: Head to head is 1-1. David Anton has White and it's not going to be easy to get a result, David had a rough time in a super elite event losing to Niemann, Keymer, Gukesh but with the White pieces he would probably be playing safe and it won't be easy.

Board 2: Erigaisi vs Chigaev: They have played only classical game, in the Grand Swiss where Arjun couldn't break through as White. This is by far the most likely game to be decisive and might be worrying. Chigaev is in very strong form he's lost only twice this year, to Tabatabaei and Shankland. He's also a specialist in the KID and Sicilian, so it might be a pretty chaotic game. It's reasonably likely to go in India's favour.

Board 3: Latasa vs Nihal: This won't be easy. Latasa has lost only one classical game all year, but the good news is that this was to Nihal Sarin himself. That said, Latasa in very good form, is very solid and I don't expect him to lose with White.

Board 4: Gukesh vs Shirov/Yuufa: I'm guessing Spain chooses Shirov for many reasons. One of those is that Gukesh convincingly beat Yuufa with Black in the Grand Swiss. In a game where Spain really would be very happy with a draw, they really should play the player with high class (peak level), and not worry about his age. Shirov would probably play as defensively as possible, and trying to complicate at all costs against an all-time great tactician may not go well, even if he's quite old now. I'd still expect Gukesh to get it done, since for this tournament he's the real Gukesh again.

I expect Boards 2 and 4 to decide things, because 2600+ players when they decide to play for a draw as White it's not at all easy to break though.
