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.
Sikkim is proof that good civic sense, clean air, smooth roads, proper parking, & zero honking can exist in India.
Rest of India needs to take notes from the NE.
At 88, retired DIG Inder Jit Singh Sidhu starts his day at 6 am not for a stroll but to push a rehri, collecting litter in Chandigarh’s Sector 49. Disgusted by the filth & ignored complaints, he took matters into his own hands. “Cleanliness is next to godliness,” he says. Called mad at first, now even residents support him.

Close to Nirvana Country, during my morning cycling.
Gurgaon is setting a new bench mark in urban planning and sustainability.
Most animal and garbage friendly city.
Such a joy to live in the millennium city 😊

Someone messaged me that this tweet has had an impact.
'A big thanks to your tweet that the garbage got cleaned.. JCB’s, Tractors and authorities in full action'
Thanks for your efforts @DC_Gurugram@cmohry@MunCorpGurugram
Visited the same spot again, with a view to appreciate the civic agencies. Some efforts are visible, however the garbage is on the road and the animals are happy 😊
With a heavy heart posting my video taken today morning.

We strongly condemn the recent firing incident at the ISKCON Sri Sri Radha Krishna temple in Spanish Fork, Utah. The Consulate extends full support to all the devotees and the community and urges the local authorities to take prompt action to bring the perpetrators to justice.
@IndianEmbassyUS@MEAIndia@PIB_India
The ISKCON Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork, Utah (USA), world-famous for its Holi Festival, has recently come under attack in suspected hate crimes. Over the past several days, 20–30 bullets were fired at the temple building and the surrounding property. The incidents occurred during nighttime hours, while devotees and guests were present inside, and have resulted in thousands of dollars in structural damage, including to the temple’s hand-carved arches.

It it time to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty indefinitely as a truly meaningful response to the latest terrorist outrage in Pahalgam instigated by Pakistan.
We have earlier said that blood and water can’t go together. Let’s act on our own declared position .
This will be a strategic response.
We are in a favourable position on this with the US as the terrorist attack has occurred during Vance’s visit. Trump and Vance have strong views on Islamic extremism and terrorism.
This step will send a salutary message to Bangladesh too.
The statement made by Md Younis of Bangladesh so called interim Government referring to the seven sister states of Northeast India as landlocked and positioning Bangladesh as their guardian of ocean access, is offensive and strongly condemnable. This remark underscores the persistent vulnerability narrative associated with India’s strategic “Chicken’s Neck” corridor. Historically, even internal elements within India have dangerously suggested severing this critical passageway to isolate the Northeast from the mainland physically. Therefore, it is imperative to develop more robust railway and road networks both underneath and around the Chicken’s Neck corridor. Additionally, exploring alternative road routes connecting the Northeast to mainland India, effectively bypassing the Chicken’s Neck, should be prioritized. Though this may pose significant engineering challenges, it is achievable with determination and innovation. Such provocative statements by Md Younis must not be taken lightly, as they reflect deeper strategic considerations and longstanding agendas.
बांग्लादेश में अन्यायपूर्ण तरीके से गिरफ्तार किए गए संत चिन्मय कृष्ण दास जी के साथ पूरा देश एकजुटता के साथ खड़ा है।
केंद्र सरकार से अपील करता हूँ कि इस मामले में हस्तक्षेप करके चिन्मयदास जी को जल्द से जल्द मुक्त कराएँ।
