When Subhas Chandra Bose shouted “Chalo Dilli!”, Lt R. Madhavan Pillai ji marched for India’s freedom at 21. Today, at 101, his salute still speaks louder than words. He is one of the last living warriors of the Azad Hind Fauj, carrying with him the courage and vision of...

We STRONGLY CONDEMN the disgraceful insults directed at our great freedom fighter, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. THE HEROIC STRUGGLE OF OUR FREEDOM FIGHTERS WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. Nor will silence prevail when the legacy and sacrifices of those who fought for the nation are insulted. Our Hon’ble Chairperson, Mamata Banerjee, joined the protest and made it clear that such indecency and disrespect from BJP West Bengal will not be tolerated. Netaji’s legacy is sacred. His honour is non-negotiable.

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s life was a symphony of courage, intellect, and uncompromising patriotism. On his 128th birth anniversary, I joined countless admirers in paying homage to this towering figure whose clarion call for freedom galvanised a nation shackled in subjugation. For the first time, this historic day was commemorated in the hallowed grounds of Terai-Dooars. The air reverberated with the sounds of conch shells, echoing Netaji’s immortal legacy. We laid the foundation stone for 12 projects worth ₹17.80 crore and inaugurated 43 initiatives valued at ₹108.73 crore. Today, more than ever, Netaji's ideals of justice, equality, and selfless service must illuminate our path. He is a living philosophy, a perennial force that drives us to stand for what is right. Let us channel his undying spirit to build a Bengal that he dreamed of.

On the birth anniversary of Shri Subhash Chandra Bose, we remember Bharat's revolutionary leader whose life was an unbroken vow to freedom, dignity, and self-respect. Revered across borders and equally loved among the patriotic masses of the Republic of Balochistan, Netaji stands as a symbol of courage that transcends geography and time. Subhash Chandra Bose embodied uncompromising resistance to colonial domination. When dialogue and petitions failed, he had the moral clarity and daring to choose a path few could imagine, uniting the Indian diaspora across continents and organizing the Azad Hind Fauj, convinced that an empire built on force would only yield to force. His leadership awakened a sense of collective destiny, transforming scattered hope into disciplined resolve. For millions, Netaji proved that freedom is not gifted; it is claimed through sacrifice, unity, and fearless action. What makes Netaji eternally fascinating is not only his defiance, but his brilliance. An often-forgotten fact: he resigned from the prestigious Indian Civil Service, a position many would consider the pinnacle of success under the Raj, because he refused to serve an unjust system. Later, as the head of the Provisional Government of Free India in 1943, he established symbols of sovereignty currency, stamps, and even a civil code asserting that freedom must be lived, not merely dreamed. He also championed gender equality in action by forming the Rani of Jhansi Regiment, one of the world’s first all-women combat units, decades ahead of its time. On this day, we remember Netaji not just as a leader of armed resistance, but as a visionary who believed in discipline, secular unity, and social justice. His call “Give me blood, and I will give you freedom” was not a thirst for violence, but a demand for total commitment to liberty. Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose lives on wherever people refuse to kneel before oppression. His legacy continues to inspire all freedom-loving nations and peoples, reminding us that courage, when guided by purpose, can change the course of history. The sixty million people of the Republic of Balochistan are lucky that we have our national unified leader Hyrbyair Marri who is the Subhash Chandra of Balochistan who never compromised on Balochistan's boundaries, identity, language, and right to liberation. Jai Hind. Jai Balochistan

Terence Crawford on Canelo saying Crawford is 'way better' than Floyd Mayweather: "[Canelo] was in the ring with both of us. People can say what they want, but he's actually been in the ring with both of us. One he felt like he was at the best and another where he felt like he was at a disadvantage with a rehydration clause when he was younger. I don't go off of that. Floyd is the best fighter in his era and I feel like I'm the best fighter in my era."

Every Indian, especially our youth, needs to reflect on his words, consider the vision he held for India and the spirit of nation-building he embodied...

Pope Leo at New Year's Mass: "At the dawn of the new year, the Liturgy reminds us that for each of us, every day can be the beginning of a new life, thanks to God’s generous love, his mercy and the response of our freedom. It is beautiful to view the coming year in this way: as an open journey to be discovered. Indeed, through grace, we can venture forth on this journey with confidence – free and bearers of freedom, forgiven and bringers of forgiveness, trusting in the closeness and goodness of the Lord who accompanies us always."

Freedom is one of the most cherished blessings we enjoy. It is woven into the fabric of our nation and defended by generations who understood that liberty comes at a great cost. Yet freedom is more than the absence of restraint - it is the opportunity to choose what is right. The prodigal son demanded freedom from responsibility and discovered that unchecked freedom leads to destruction. True freedom is not the right to do as we want; it is the right to do as we ought. Every freedom carries responsibility, and every choice carries consequences. As believers, we must recognize that freedom is a gift from God that must be stewarded wisely. We are called to stand against hatred, defend truth, and live in a way that blesses those around us. Our lives are connected, and what affects one affects all. Freedom is not absolute, nor is it free. It demands vigilance, responsibility, and moral courage. If we fail to use our freedom to defend what is right, we risk losing the very freedoms we treasure. Let us thank God for liberty, use it wisely, and honor Him with the choices we make every day.
