Replacing Lutyens' bust with Rajagopalachari's is a powerful symbolic move. It's high time we honor our own heroes instead of colonial architects. A step towards true decolonization of the mind.

The visit to Manipal TATA Medical College is a great initiative. Interacting with future doctors will surely motivate them. Hope the focus on AYUSH at the fair also brings traditional medicine to the forefront.

As someone living in Mumbai, I appreciate the President coming for the health campaign. However, I hope such visits translate into tangible improvements in our public healthcare infrastructure, which is often overburdened.

Ex Vayushakti in Pokhran! That's our air power on display. A strong message on security. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳 The President's presence adds great prestige to the event.

A balanced itinerary covering health (Hinduja, AYUSH), faith (Jagannath Temple), education, and defence. This is how a Head of State should connect with diverse aspects of the nation. Respect.
