While I appreciate remembering historical figures, I wish the same energy was shown in addressing current issues like unemployment and women's safety in UP. Governance needs a balance of past inspiration and present action.
The part about BrahMos being developed in Lucknow and used in Op Sindoor is what caught my eye! Makes me proud. Jai Hind! Our defence tech is coming up strong 💪
Interesting read. As someone new to Indian history, figures like Maharana Sanga are fascinating. The emphasis on "dharma" and self-respect seems deeply rooted in the cultural context here.
Yogi ji is right. We must draw inspiration from our history to build a strong future. The focus on drone technology is a step in the right direction for Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
Tributes are fine, but what about the practical issues? My brother is an engineer and still looking for a job. Hope the drone tech initiative creates real employment, not just headlines.
