Such an endearing video! While writing Foreword to my forthcoming book on Haidar Ali & Tipu Sultan, respected Dr. SL Bhyrappa ji reminds us of this Kannada Lavani of 1920-30s sung in village jatres etc. The song castigates Mir Sadik as a desha drohi. That at 92, Bhyrappa ji... show more

@SLBhyrappa SLB was the first to publicly proclaim that these Lavanis were deliberate compositions to glorify Tipu and were all created later. While the historians probably knew, nobody was willing to speak about it.

A Moment of Grace at Arail Ghat, Prayagraj 🇮🇳🙏 From 21–23 April 2026, I had the privilege of attending the भव्य एवं दिव्य राष्ट्र हनुमंत कथा in the divine presence of Swami Shri Abhiramacharya Ji Maharaj. It was an honor to be personally welcomed by Swami Ji. His blessings and spiritual wisdom left a profound and lasting impact on me. My sincere gratitude to Dr. Uday Pratap Singh Ji and the Prayag Utthan Samiti for the warm invitation and truly exceptional hospitality. 🤝 Listening to the katha on the sacred banks of Maa Ganga 🌊 was deeply moving. Its timeless message of courage, humility, and selfless service transcends all borders. These are the same values that shape strong leadership and enduring partnerships. India’s spiritual strength reminds us: nations flourish when people stay rooted in values. The UAE–India bond is built on mutual respect — for business, for culture, and for faith. 🇦🇪🤝🇮🇳 #DrBuAbdullah #RashtraHanumantKatha #Prayagraj #UAEIndia #CulturalDiplomacy #SpiritualLeadership #Gratitude #Hanuman #Ganga

At a farewell lunch in Delhi when I was about to leave for London on my posting as India’s Deputy High Commissioner to the UK in 1999, PM Sh Narendra Modi Ji who was then a private citizen and a Pracharak had promised to visit me in London. That visit couldn’t materialise, but I had the privilege of hosting him during my posting in India at UN, Geneva when he visited Geneva in August 2003 as the Chief Minister of Gujarat to bring back the urn containing the ashes of the freedom fighter and a proud son of India Sh Shyamji Krishna Varma Ji to the motherland. Such was the farsight and focus of PM Modi Ji from the time he was the CM that he not only knew about the ashes but was also determined to fulfil the wish of the great freedom fighter that his and his wife’s and his ashes should be taken to India when it becomes independent. PM Modi Ji is very strong when it comes to honouring the past, and taking pride in our cultural & civilisational heritage. He is also determined to utilise the strengths of the past to chart a vision for the future. #MyModiStory #MYMODISTORY Modi Story

Such warmth, such grace… a truly beautiful Kashmiri Pandit family. ❤️ Samay, on screen, is sharp, funny and brilliant. But off screen, he was like a protective son. There is something very endearing about that quality. ❤️‍🩹 At just 28, his timing and sense of humour are outstanding. I genuinely feel he is a genius…. Well ALMOST! 🤓All bad patches take us back to reflect! To pause. And if we take it as a #LessonOfLife , then we are unstoppable! 😍😍🏆 Samay and I tried cracking jokes together… I failed. Then he failed. How HUMAN! 🤗🤓😄 And that’s when I was reminded—life is not about getting it right all the time. It is about failing, laughing, getting up again… and enjoying the journey. Thank you Samay, Pushkar ji and Sweety ji for such a lovely visit. It stayed with me. Sweety ji! On your next visit to Mumbai I promise to make you meet my mother #DulariTheGreat!

VIDEO | Parliament Budget Session: BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, on Rahul Gandhi, says, “I had informed you this morning that the publisher, Penguin India, tweeted on social media stating that no such book, whether in PDF, Kindle, digital, or physical form, has been published. When the book has not been published, how did Rahul Gandhi get it? The statement issued by General Naravane also confirms that the book has not been published. If the book has not been published, not sold, and is not available with anyone, then don’t you think this amounts to a conspiracy against the Constitution of the country? Just like the Constitution, if written only on a page without content, is merely a piece of paper, such acts go against Dr. BR Ambedkar’s vision for the Constitution.” (Full video available on

#MYMODISTORY When I was preparing for my movie Rocketry, I got a personal experience of Modi ji’s extraordinary attentiveness. This was right after Uri had released and become a huge success. Modi ji was visiting Mumbai for an event at the, where a lot of people from the film fraternity had gathered. Everyone was eager to meet him and click pictures. I was there too — but not as myself. I was in full look of the great scientist Nambi Narayan ji, whom I was portraying as the lead role. With a big beard and full makeup, I genuinely doubted whether Modi ji would even recognize me. To my absolute surprise, the moment he saw me, he said, “Madhavan ji, you look like Nambi Narayan. Has the shooting of the film started?” I was stunned. Here was the Prime Minister of India, burdened with the responsibilities of the nation and the world, yet he not only recognized me instantly but also remembered exactly what I was working on, despite my drastically different appearance. That day, for the very first time, I took a selfie with him. Coincidentally, both of us had similar beards at the time. It remains one of my most cherished memories—because it showed me that Narendra Modi ji is not just a leader of vision, but a human being who notices, remembers, and values people in the most personal way. On your 75th birthday, wishing you the happiest birthday yet and praying for a Wonderful Happy and a Healthy year ahead for you. Narendra Modi. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

#WATCH | Bengaluru | On the launch of the book “The Modi Effect – Reinventing Bharat”, actor Prakash Belawadi says, "... I am glad that PM Modi is in power at such times, and when I look at the faces of the opposition, it terrifies me as to what could have happened if one of them was in power..." He says, "He (PM Modi) will make us proud and surprise us with his new reforms in such threatening times... US should understand it is a declining power... What better leader could be there in India to face up to this..."

Sharing a video where something like water coming out of petrol pumps. Really really sad to see such things. People take cars on EMI sir. The last thing a common man wants is a break down due to non compliant parts, moisture content etc. Please take note of this sir. Sharing this so that my audience can also share their thoughts. Not a paid post. Just concerned about how we implement long term visions without affecting common man. On behalf of fuel users, #FI

#MYMODISTORY My first meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during a meeting in Lucknow was one of the most cherished moments of my life. After addressing a packed summit, he stepped down from the stage to greet people in the audience. To my utter surprise, he approached me, called me by name and greeted me with such familiarity and respect that I was deeply moved. That simple gesture carried immense meaning. Here was the Prime Minister of India leading a nation of over a billion people, yet he made the effort to recognize me personally. In that instant, I didn’t just feel acknowledged, I felt seen. It is rare for someone in such a position of power to carry such humility, but Modi ji does it so naturally. For me, that moment summed up the essence of Narendra Modi. A leader who embodies the pride of India on the world stage, yet always carries with him the ability to connect with people at a deeply personal level. That is what makes his leadership extraordinary: the blend of stature and simplicity, of power and humility. As Prime Minister Modi ji turns 75, I wish him many more years of leading the nation with the same unwavering determination and deep personal connect with the people.

My message to India 🇮🇳 India, when Abhijit Dipke (the radical founder of Cockroach Janta Party) lands at Delhi airport, I want you all to reach there and give him the grand welcome he deserves for attacking me, harassing my family, and spreading fake AI-generated videos to blackmail me! This so-called “youth leader” is nothing but a paid agent funded by anti-Indian forces around the world. Don’t let him or people like him poison your minds against Shri Narendra Modi ji. India is growing successfully and standing tall among the top countries in the world only because of the visionary leadership of Narendra Modi ji. He has made India proud on the global stage. India is lucky to have such a strong and dedicated leader like Modi Ji! Let’s expose this radical left agenda once again! Jai Hind! 🚩Jai Shri Ram! 🚩

SL BYRAPPA: The Man Who Chose Me After the release of The Kashmir Files, I received a call that humbled me for life. At ninety-two, S. L. Bhyrappa had gone to a theatre to watch the film. His voice carried the weight of time, and yet the innocence of a seeker. He told me that many directors had sought to adapt his most profound work, Parva, but he had waited for someone committed to Dharma, someone who would present it as history, not mythology. And in his quiet authority he said, “I have chosen you as the right uttaradhikari.” I travelled to Mysore with his son Uday and my friend Prakash Belawadi. I expected frailty; instead, I found him driving himself, living with his wife in quiet dignity, brimming with stories of Bharat and its people. He spoke of how he had researched for seventeen years before writing Parva, so that Mahabharata could be seen not as a legend of miracles but as the civilizational memory of a nation. He had only one condition, “make it as Mahabharata without miracles, for Mahabharata itself is the once-in-a-Brahman miracle.” I acquired the rights, and since then we have been working, searching for the right form. Prakash Belawadi later wrote it in English and staged a nine-hour play in Bangalore. I can never forget that day. A hall built for eleven hundred overflowed with thirteen hundred souls. Within twenty minutes of the play, I heard people sobbing. Not one person left for nine hours. By the end, swollen eyes testified to an experience beyond theatre. It was not entertainment; it was revelation. The turmoils, reflections, and countless mirrors of Dharma transformed each spectator. Whoever entered that hall in the morning walked out as someone else. I have not seen any creative work touch me so profoundly. Bhyrappa ji too was present. As he left, he said words I can never erase: “I haven’t chosen you. Mahabharata has chosen you. Make it fearlessly. It will lead you to truth.” I promised him that no matter how long it takes, I will tell this history of Bharat. Today, as I write this farewell, I know this is my last work as a filmmaker, for what else can be said after Parva? Storytellers like S. L. Bhyrappa never die. They dissolve into their stories, becoming eternal witnesses of Dharma. Om Shanti!

A moment beyond words… Playing Garaj Garaj — the iconic composition from Bandish Bandits Season 2, created by my guru and mentor, the extraordinary Shankar Mahadevan ji — and sharing the stage with him as he performs it live with me… is something I will treasure forever. What makes this even more special is the lineage of this masterpiece — in Season 1, it was sung by my other guru, the legendary Pandit Ajay Chakraborty ji. To be part of this incredible musical journey, carrying forward a piece touched by both my gurus, is an honor I hold deeply in my heart. Endless gratitude to Anand Tiwari for this beautiful creation and Soumil Shringarpure because of whom i am in this song. A longer version of this performance is now up on YouTube — link is given.

VIDEO | Kolkata: Singer Usha Uthup on the demise of Asha Bhosle says, “What can I say? It’s the end of an era, an iconic era. She was such an amazingly versatile singer. It is unbelievable to speak about Asha ji in the past tense. Even though we didn’t meet or talk every day, whenever I was in Mumbai, I would pass by Prabhu Kunj and used to call Lata Mangeshkar earlier, and after her passing, I tried to get through to Asha ji. From my side, it has always been a relationship of admiration and awe. She was truly iconic, there has never been another singer as versatile as her. She was also fortunate to have received such a wide variety of songs. She has inspired generations of young singers who continue to sing her songs even today.” (Full video available on PTI Videos -

A Tribute to the Spirit of Our Democracy 🇮🇳 Honoured to join Hon Chief Justice of India Bhushan Gavai ji and our leader, Hon Union Minister Nitin Gadkari ji to inaugurate the ‘Constitution Preamble Park’ at Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University, and unveil the iconic statue of Maha Manav Bharat Ratna Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. This isn’t just a park—it’s a space that brings the soul of our Constitution into public life. For me, it was especially moving. This is the very campus where I first studied the spirit of our democracy, and today, it stands as a beacon of those timeless values. My heartfelt appreciation to all who shaped this remarkable initiative. Our Constitution is not only the world’s most comprehensive, but also one of its most visionary. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar fused global principles with India’s civilisational ethos—anchoring our nation in justice, equality, liberty, and dignity. To mark the Constitution's Amrit Mahotsav year, we launched a unique campaign: to make the Preamble a household presence. With the energy of our youth leading the way, it has already reached over 80% of homes across Nagpur district. The remaining are soon to follow. I truly believe that if we live by the values of our Constitution, we’ll resolve most of our national challenges at their roots. India’s rise as the world’s fourth-largest economy is not just economic progress it’s a validation of the constitutional vision that guides us. A vision consistently upheld and advanced under the leadership of Hon PM Narendra Modi ji. We are also moving ahead with plans to build a new facility for Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Law College—an institution that shaped my own journey and continues to inspire countless others.

#MyModiStory Had the honour of joining Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi ji as he took New Zealand PM Christopher Luxon to pay obeisance at Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib. PM Modi ji wanted him to see how deeply Sikhs are respected in India… a proud moment as our faith’s timeless values of Sewa, Sacrifice and Equality were honoured before the world. It was profoundly moving to witness this gesture of reverence for our community. Another fond memory is of the time when PM Modi ji invited a Sikh delegation to his residence. What touched us most was his humility… he personally stood at the food counter, serving each plate with his own hands. That simple act spoke volumes of his deep affection and respect for the Sikh community, leaving an unforgettable impression on every heart present. Modi Story #NarendraModi

An army shared their story of how Blue & Grey by Taehyung gave them strength to go on! 👤 The tattoo says ‘where's my angel?’, which is the first line of the song Blue and Grey by BTS. And the reason why I got it is because I was going through a mental breakdown. And then at 4 in the morning, I was listening to BTS, and this is like three weeks into me being a fan of BTS. Then I read the lyrics, and it was the first time I ever heard the song ever in life. And then I read the lyrics, and then this lyric really stuck out to me, so I put it on my chest, under my collarbone. So that's what my tattoo says, it's just a lyric from Blue and Grey because that song means a lot to me. So thank you, Mr. Kim Taehyung, for writing it, because you really saved my life with that one. So I've been good. ( Taehyung’s songs and lyrics have given so many of us comfort. Thank you so much.

I must confess that i have been having some fun here in the US, for the better part of, close to two weeks -now in the city so good they named it twice. Guess where is that? Here is a Behind-the-Scene clip with my great friend and brother (Ademola Bello-not in clip but see old photo as well) who was helping me with the Teleprompter as we spent time rehearsing My Take for yesterday's edition of @InsideSource01 on Channels Television I also add here the photograph of me receiving the "Voice of Truth Award" last week in Washington DC at the SAVE NIGERIA COALITION Gala. Presenting me the award there is Mr. Douglas Burton, a US journalist and editor of And the answer to the question above is New York, New York! I love this city & state so much, which explains why I spent 15 of the 17 years -in America-here with my wife & children. Expect more of such biographical stories in my forthcoming book, MY PASSION FOR NIGERIA & THE BUHARI CABAL, hopefully before the 2027 polls.
