ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀
Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability.
History is made. 🇮🇳

He's Tukaram Mundhe, a 2005-batch IAS from Maharashtra.
Over the last few weeks, you might have heard his name. That is because he was recently appointed Commissioner of State’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Since taking charge, the FDA has been on an absolute warpath, raiding illegal, fake, synthetic, and adulterated products. From synthetic milk networks and adulterated paneer to illegal gutkha and unhygienic eateries, nothing has escaped his radar.
Mundhe has made it clear that even the most famous names will not get a free pass. His department shocked Mumbai by suspending the food licenses of iconic establishments, such as the 73-year-old Marine Drive ice cream parlor K. Rustom & Co., alongside famous eateries like Shalimar Hospitality, Noor Mohammadi Hotel, and Rahmaniya Restaurant, after surprise inspections uncovered severe hygiene violations, including live pests and expired ingredients.
Such is the fear of his crackdowns that, just two days ago, dairy farmers were caught on video spilling hundreds of liters of synthetic milk after rumors of an impending FDA raid spread.
This is his 25th transfer in a 21-year career, a testament to his refusal to bend to political pressure. It makes you wonder: if just one IAS officer can bring about so much change, where would our country be if every bureaucrat were as uncompromising and proactive as him?
भारत तरक्की कर रहा है..!
आज भुसावल से गोवा ट्रेन से यात्रा करते समय एक अनुभव हुआ..!
अचानक, मेरे दोस्त के 2 साल के बेटे को बुखार आ गया। हमारे पास कोई दवा नहीं थी, और हमारी मंज़िल, मडगांव, पहुँचने में अभी भी 7 घंटे बाकी थे। हमने सोचा कि अगले स्टेशन पर उतरकर डॉक्टर से सलाह लेंगे और फिर सड़क मार्ग से यात्रा जारी रखेंगे..!
मैंने यूँ ही ट्रेन में सामान बेचने वाले एक वेंडर से कहा..!
"हमें कुछ दवा चाहिए। क्या आप अगले स्टेशन पर इसका इंतज़ाम कर सकते हैं ? मैं आपकी मेहनत के लिए ₹500 दूँगा"
वेंडर ने जवाब दिया..!
"इसकी कोई ज़रूरत नहीं है। TTE (टिकट परीक्षक) से मिलिए; आपकी समस्या हल हो जाएगी"
हम तुरंत TTE से मिले..!
मैंने अपनी पूरी ज़िंदगी में किसी सरकारी कर्मचारी से इतनी तत्परता का अनुभव नहीं किया था..!
उन्होंने अपना काम रोका, तुरंत फ़ोन किया, हमारी सीट नंबर और बीमारी की स्थिति नोट की, और हमें अपनी सीट पर वापस जाने के लिए कहा..!*
सच कहूँ तो, हमें ज़्यादा उम्मीद नहीं थी। हमने पहले ही तय कर लिया था कि अगर ज़रूरत पड़ी तो हम अगले स्टेशन पर उतरकर बच्चे को डॉक्टर के पास ले जाएँगे..!
हमने सोचा था कि शायद कोई कागज़ में लिपटी कुछ गोलियाँ ही लाएगा..!
लेकिन ठीक अगले स्टेशन पर, एक डॉक्टर अपने असिस्टेंट के साथ हमारी सीट पर आए। TTE भी वहाँ मौजूद थे। बच्चे की जाँच करने के बाद, डॉक्टर ने तुरंत अपने असिस्टेंट को हमें सिरप की कुछ बोतलें देने का निर्देश दिया। उन्होंने दवा देने का तरीका समझाया और फिर TTE से पैंट्री से थोड़ा नमक मँगवाने को कहा..!
TTE ने तुरंत एक और फ़ोन कॉल किया। डॉक्टर ने हमें बच्चे के माथे पर नमक के पानी में भीगा हुआ कपड़ा रखने की सलाह दी और चले गए..!
जब हमने आवाज़ देकर पूछा कि हमें कितने पैसे देने हैं, तो हमें बताया गया कि यह सब पूरी तरह से मुफ़्त था..!
हम अभी भी हैरान और चकित थे कि जब तक हम अपनी सीट पर वापस पहुँचे, पैंट्री का एक कर्मचारी नमक लेकर आ गया..!
मेरा देश सचमुच बेहतर के लिए बदल रहा है..!
इतनी सारी आलोचनाओं का हम क्या करें..!
क्या उन्हें पेट्रोल के साथ पी जाएँ..!
मीडिया या अख़बारों में अक्सर ऐसे सकारात्मक बदलावों को उजागर नहीं किया जाता है..!
बदलाव हो रहा है। हमें भी इन अनुभवों को अपने रिश्तेदारों और दोस्तों के साथ साझा करना चाहिए..!
इसमें समय लगेगा, लेकिन हम उस बदलाव को देख और महसूस कर रहे हैं जो हो रहा है..!
राष्ट्रहित सर्वोपरि..

#WATCH | EAM Dr S Jaishankar says, "I buy oil based on cost and availability. So at that point of time, ah much of the oil available on the market was Russia because Europeans were essentially buying up the Middle East oil, which was our traditional supply. So circumstances pushed us in a certain direction but since you spoke about moral ambiguity, I would say this, no European country has been attacked with Indian weapons. I wish I could say that for European weapons vis-a-vis India... Europeans sell weapons which are used to attack India. Not now, for many, years. We Indians have never done anything to endanger Europe. So I think that's a reasonable point."

This is the condition of the Punjab mansion of Hindu businessman Todar Mal who paid 7,800 gold coins and bought 4 yards of land from the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb to bury the bodies of the 2 young sons and mother of Guru Gobind Singh on December 13, 1705.
The Mughal faujdar Wazir Khan had ordered the two young children be bricked alive as they refused to accept Islam. When they died, their grandmother died of shock
The Mughals did not want to allow the cremation to humiliate the martyrs. They stipulated that the buyer can take only as much space as he could cover with give gold coins for the land. All the Sikh chiefs just stood helplessly
That's when Todar Mal produced the coins and bought the piece of land, and cremated the three bodies.
This is biggest irony of life, India is only country where its true heritage is hidden from next generation and falsehood Is taught.
Her husband was ki||ed by TMC goons in 2021 for supporting BJP .
All the Credit goes to Bengali Women for their courage🙇🏻.

PM Modi: Arrange communication with ISIS through diplomatic channels in Syria. India's 46 Malayali nurses must be released and brought home.
ISIS: They are free.
PM Modi: Connect me to President Xi Jinping. Indian students must be allowed to leave Chinese universities immediately, Covid restrictions or flight embargoes to be placed aside.
Xi Jinping : Indian students may depart. Other countries will have to wait.
PM Modi : Put me through to the Emir of Qatar. I want a full pardon for the Ex Indian Navy personnel sentenced to death there.
Emir of Qatar: They are pardoned. Release them.
Prime Minister Modi : Please get the Kremlin on the line. Request Russia to halt the missile strikes for at least four hours.

PM Modi: Connect me with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. I need safe passage for Indian students stranded there.

PM Modi : Call Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. India's three oil tankers must be allowed safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian President : Indian vessels will pass safely. Rest will be targeted.
Meanwhile, Kupriya, commenting from the feet of Gahul Randhi :
Modi only laughs awkwardly in front of world leaders. Ha ! Ha, He He,Khi Khi. He is clueless about diplomacy and foreign relations.
Call it what it is: evil, calculated, and deeply treacherous. When an opposition leader celebrates the attempt of global humiliation of his own country, he isn’t fit to lead.
Rahul Gandhi isn’t criticising policy here. He’s boasting that his own party cadres succeeded in disrupting an international summit and denting India’s image in front of the world. That’s Machiavellian sabotage.
A normal opposition fights the government on issues. This is something darker: weaponise embarrassment as strategy. If India is hosting global leaders, tech CEOs and investors, and you can’t control the narrative with competence, then you manufacture chaos so the headline becomes “mess” instead of “moment.” That isn’t politics. That is anti-national theatre.
On Holi, colours don’t compete.
They come together.
This incredible festival is a cheerful reminder of what India has always been: many colours, one vibrant canvas.
Happy Holi to everyone!
Mulayam, Mayawati and Akhilesh’s foreign tours: Huge spending, but investment? Zero!
Mulayam: Visited the UK, brought nothing back.
Mayawati: Japan, Korea and 5 countries – big claims, zero outcomes.
Akhilesh: US, Australia, Europe – photo ops, no major FDI.
Yogi Ji: On the very first day in Singapore, ₹19,877 crore worth of MoUs signed!
₹8,000 crore data centre, ₹2,500 crore hyperscale park, township and logistics near Jewar, 19,500+ jobs.
Now heading to Japan – talks with Suzuki and Toshiba on semiconductors, auto and green hydrogen.
The difference is clear: Former CMs travelled and returned empty handed. Yogi Ji travelled and brought back investment.
Law and order, expressways, policy reforms – UP is now a global investment hub. 🔥
