Two important events back-to-back. First, honoring our bravest soldiers on Vijay Diwas, then seeking divine blessings. This shows a good balance between respecting our military and our cultural roots. Jai Hind!

The Param Vir Dirgha is a fantastic initiative. Our children need to know about these heroes. Replacing British portraits with our own PVC awardees is a powerful symbolic move. Long overdue, but well done.

While I appreciate the gestures, I hope such visits translate into tangible support for the preservation of all our historic and religious sites, not just the famous ones. Many need urgent attention and funds.
