HUGE congratulations to AMARAN on winning 3 National Awards today! 👏🏽

AMARAN is based on the true story of Ashoka Chakra Major Mukund Varadarajan from my #IndiasMostFearless book series.

Apparently, this is one of the earliest known photographs of the sacred Kedarnath Dham, taken in 1882.

Couldn’t take my eyes off it.

No roads. No railheads. No helicopters.

Just the abode of Lord Shiva, cradled by the Himalayas

Back then, the yatra demanded time, endurance, & faith. The journey wasn’t incidental; it WAS the pilgrimage.

Today, access is easier. And that’s a good thing because it opens the experience to many more.

But perhaps something still needs preserving?

The ability to slow down & savour the experience of traveling.

Because journeys are about who we become along the way.

An angry lady’s image shouting at a political leader and his party for having stopped the road has gone viral.
That one woman has said what millions of us feel. Stop blocking roads for your political agendas. Stop blocking roads, temples, for VIPs.
People have work, emergencies, lives. This entitlement has gone too far.

His name was Nitish Katara.

He was 25 years old. MBA from IMT Ghaziabad. Job at Reliance General Insurance. A regular young man building his life in Delhi.

At college, he fell in love with Bharti Yadav. Her father was D.P. Yadav. Sitting Member of Parliament. One of the most powerful politicians in UP.

They were together for four years. Her family knew. Her brother Vikas knew. Her cousin Vishal knew.

Nitish received threats. He did not leave.

On the night of February 16, 2002, he attended a friend's wedding in Ghaziabad. Bharti was there. Vikas was there. Vishal was there.

They danced. They took photographs.

At midnight, security guards saw Nitish get into a Tata Safari with Vikas, Vishal, and one more man.

He never came back.

The next morning, a burnt body was found 80 km away near Khurja. Beaten with a hammer. Diesel poured on him. Set on fire.

His mother Nilam identified the body by his hand. Nitish had unusually small hands just like hers.

Then the system turned against her.

Witnesses changed their statements one by one. Three out of four turned hostile. Even Bharti went to court and said there was no relationship. Just friendship.

One witness refused to budge. His name was Ajay Katara. No relation. Just a man who had seen Nitish get into that car that night and could not lie about it.

Vikas Yadav banged his fist on the courtroom table and told him he would be buried 100 feet underground.

Ajay did not change his statement.

For the next 20 years, he lived under 24-hour armed guard. 37 cases filed against him. Bullet attempts. Poison attempts. His life never recovered.

Nilam Katara had no political connections. No money like the Yadavs. Just one question that she refused to stop asking.

In 2008, the court convicted Vikas, Vishal, and Sukhdev. The Supreme Court confirmed 25 years without remission.

Vikas has now served 23 years. He recently got married from jail. He applied for furlough to spend time with his wife. The Supreme Court granted it for Holi this year.

Nilam Katara is still fighting.

Her son got justice. The men who killed him are counting their last months in prison. But the witness who made that possible lost everything for telling the truth.

In India, power does not just delay justice. It destroys everyone who stands in its way.

But a mother refused to let it disappear.

What an incredible story of a young brave girl’s courage and perseverance to show the world that nothing can muffle the human spirit. Kudos to her coach Kuldeep Vedwan for looking to make champions of such handicapped people.

Congrats to our HM @AmitShah on eliminating the grave Maoist threat to India.for over 50 years the ancien regime accepted this threat, let down citizens in those districts and a sovereign weak govt was helpless in eliminating this threat. We had a Left which promoted these terrorists. Finally it is done by very strong action. No nation should tolerate such violent Maoists. @narendramodi @PMOIndia The ancien regime failed in its primary duty of protecting the life, liberty, property of a large no of our fellow citizens.

[Aravind @aravind]

💯 Crisis after crisis, the PM and his top notch team (particularly MEA) have not just navigated India through the chaos but have also made it more resilient. "A lot of people may not like this" because they see it politically, not pragmatically.

[Raghav Chadha @raghav_chadha]

Today in Parliament, I delivered a speech titled ’I Do Not Oppose, I Rise to Propose.’

In Parliament today I spoke about three everyday anxieties of ordinary Indians and proposed practical reforms.

(1) Allow optional Joint Filing of Income Tax Returns so married couples with uneven incomes are not penalised.*

(2) Restore Full Income Tax Exemption on Disability Pensions for all wounded soldiers, not only those invalided out of service.*

(3) End penalty charges on bank accounts for not maintaining Minimum Account Balance.

I rose to propose solutions that make the system fairer, more humane and more just.

[Raghav Chadha @raghav_chadha]

₹19,000 crore.

That is what Banks collected in last 3 years just for not maintaining ‘Minimum Account Balance.’

Not from the rich. Not from big borrowers.
From the poorest accounts in the system.
Their crime? They didn’t have enough money.

A farmer misses the minimum balance - Penalty.
A pensioner withdraws money for medicine - Penalty.
A daily wage worker falls short by a few hundred rupees - Penalty.

The poor keep money in banks for safety. Not to be quietly fined for being poor.

Financial inclusion should protect small savings, not punish small balances.

In Parliament today I proposed ending minimum balance penalties so the banking system stops charging people for their poverty.

This again is the Bogus secularism practiced by political parties which means minority appeasement and Discrimination against Hindus @ARanganathan72 @Iyervval @RShivshankar @RahulDewanV2 @AnchorAnandN @republic

Loved watching Lakshya Sen hitting and smashing so brilliantly on the court with electrifying speed during the All England Open 2026.
You did not lose the game, you only narrowly missed the Lakshya.

Never give up and keep playing until you win. The nation is proud of you.

[SAI Media @Media_SAI]

A stellar run on one of badminton’s biggest stages! 🏸🔥

Lakshya Sen finishes Runner-Up at the prestigious All England Open 2026, showcasing grit, skill, and remarkable determination throughout the tournament. 🇮🇳

The future of Indian badminton continues to shine bright! ✨

[anand mahindra @anandmahindra]

Thank you for the excitement you brought to us @lakshya_sen

May your quest continue and the adrenaline keep flowing…

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[Abhinav A. Bindra OLY @Abhinav_Bindra]

Not every inspiring sporting story ends with a trophy. Over the last few days, Lakshya Sen has shown India what courage, resilience and belief truly look like. His run to another All England final, through extraordinary wins and immense physical pain, has been about far more than a result. He has reminded young India that greatness lies not only in winning, but in the honesty of effort, the dignity of the fight and the strength to keep believing. I am Proud of you, @lakshya_sen . Very, very proud.

[Venkatesh Alla @venkat_fin9]

Only in India.

A Tahsildar earning ₹75,000 a month builds a ₹3 crore house. A software engineer earning ₹2 lakh a month struggles to buy an ₹80 lakh home.

This is what happens when the system rewards reseravtions, power, corruption, and connections instead of skills and merit.

[anand mahindra @anandmahindra]

Can’t believe my eyes.
Lakshya just upset defending champ & world no.1 Shi Yuqi!

Massive.

This is how to ‘achieve one’s Lakshya’

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 @lakshya_sen

Even if every hit job is prevented, they enter as visitors, strip their clothes shamelessly and do politics using unsubstantiated claims about the PM inside an international AI summit. So their DS media like Reuters can write about how the India AI summit saw protests against Modi. And create an international narrative against the summit and the PM. Opposition working for foreign hit jobs need to stop. There are real issues in India people face that can be taken up.
