1/3
People often ask why I seem so ‘pro’ India.
Answer is simple: in over 20 years and dozens of trips, I have NEVER once faced disrespect, negativity, backstabbing or bad energy there.
Not once!
Only love, kindness, loyalty, warmth and respect — every single time.
2/3
I’ve made lifelong friendships there that I treasure. Friends who became family. Brothers for life.
I know respect has to be earned — and I like to think I earned mine by producing the goods on the cricket field year after year, giving my everything! Whether it was against India or for an IPL team.
3/3
When a country and its people give you nothing but pure positive energy your entire adult life, that love gets returned tenfold.
India gave me its heart first.
So India will always have mine.
Forever grateful. KP ❤️
#WATCH | Delhi | Director General Military Operations Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai says, "The Indian Navy was also in action... The Navy had sailed into the Arabian Sea and when the DGMO spoke, they were very well poised. Had the enemy decided to take it any further, it could have been catastrophic for them and not only from the sea but from other dimensions... The perpetrators of the attack at Pahalgam; it took us 96 days but we did not let them rest. When these three were found and terminated clinically, it seemed as if they were exhausted from running, and they also seemed very malnourished... Often, people can turn around and ask us where they have vanished. But it is sometimes like searching for a needle in a haystack... The Home Minister has spoken about this in the Indian Parliament. They were eliminated, and justice was served. There has been a doctrinal shift in our strategy against terror. Our Prime Minister has spoken about it. And these are the three things he said. The terror attacks are an act of war. And there will be decisive retaliation. We will not succumb to nuclear blackmail. And there is no distinction between terrorists and sponsors of terrorism..."
#WATCH | Delhi | Director General Military Operations Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai says, "So the drones came in in large numbers even after the two DGMOs had spoken... This led us to swing the Indian Air Force into action, and in the precision strikes that they carried out on the night of the 9th and 10th of May, we hit 11 of their air bases... Eight air bases, three hangars and four radars were damaged. Pakistani air assets were destroyed on the ground... One C-130 class of aircraft and one AEW, four to five fighter jets, and there were assets that were also destroyed in the air... We now know that the world's longest ever ground-to-air kill was at 300 kilometres plus and five high-tech fighters. I think the impunity with which these attacks were carried out is what is significant."

Thank my friend, President Putin, for his phone call and for sharing insights on his recent meeting with President Trump in Alaska. India has consistently called for a peaceful resolution of the Ukraine conflict and supports all efforts in this regard. I look forward to our continued exchanges in the days to come.

@SHEKARSUSHEEL I listened to this song so late in my life and it remains the last Amazing song I have listened to since!
It has surprised me the most by the simplicity of the music and the magic of the singer really, the lyrics add weight to the beauty as well!

Spoke with President of Iran @drpezeshkian. We discussed in detail about the current situation. Expressed deep concern at the recent escalations. Reiterated our call for immediate de-escalation, dialogue and diplomacy as the way forward and for early restoration of regional peace, security and stability.
Imagine the poorest person you've ever seen. This is the story of a family that lives that reality every single day.
Rekharam Siyag from Balotra, Rajasthan, washes dishes at wedding functions and does seasonal farming to survive. His family lives in a small thatched hut, with barely any basic amenities.
His son, Shravan, was a brilliant student who scored 97% in Class 10. But poverty forced him to take up daily-wage labor soon after.
That could’ve been the end of Shravan’s academic journey, but it wasn’t. His teachers believed in him and connected him with an NGO that supports talented underprivileged students. The NGO sponsoring his education from Class 11 onward, including tuition and NEET coaching.
A few days ago, the NEET results were declared. Shravan cleared it with an AIR of 9754 and an OBC category rank of 4071.
Shravan’s journey is a butterfly effect in motion. One teacher’s support, one NGO’s help, and his own grit set off a chain that turned poverty into purpose.
सौ बार जन्म लेंगे तो सौ बार करेंगे
जी भर के अपने वतन से प्यार करेंगे
जो हम से बन पड़ा, "अ वतन" हमने किया है
जो सच था, सारी दुनिया ने अब जान लिया है
समस्त सदस्यों की तरफ से मातृभूमि का और देश विदेश में हिंदुस्तान प्रेमियों का बहुत-बहुत आभार जिन्होंने कान खोल कर सुना और दिल खोल कर स्वीकार किया के हम अहिंसा प्रेमी हैं मगर तब तक, जब तक कोई ... जय हिंद! 🙏
Pakistan’s appointment on the UNSC anti-terrorism council tells you how ridiculous and shameless the @UN is: bunch of jokers led by another clown @antonioguterres : these are the idiots we actually pay to be members : we might as well pay @BBhuttoZardari to brush up on our IQ.
प्रखर क्रांतिकारी एवं विचारक स्वातंत्र्य वीर सावरकर की जयंती पर मैं उन्हें श्रद्धापूर्वक स्मरण एवं नमन करता हूँ। उनका अदम्य साहस, राष्ट्र के प्रति समर्पण और भारतीय स्वतंत्रता संग्राम में उनका योगदान प्रेरणादायी है। उनकी विचारशीलता और राष्ट्रनिष्ठा देशवासियों के लिए अनुकरणीय है।
Embassy of India @IndiainPortugal
responded firmly with ‘Operation Sindoor’ to the cowardly protest organized by Pakistan near our Chancery building. We thank the Government of Portugal and It’s police authorities for their support in ensuring the safety and security of the Embassy.
India will not be intimidated by such desperate provocations. Our resolve remains unshaken.

India's strides in the world of semiconductors continue! Today's Cabinet decision regarding the establishment of a semiconductor unit in Uttar Pradesh will boost growth and innovation. It will create innumerable opportunities for the youth as well.

Earlier this morning, I went to AFS Adampur and met our brave air warriors and soldiers. It was a very special experience to be with those who epitomise courage, determination and fearlessness. India is eternally grateful to our armed forces for everything they do for our nation.
