🚨 Unimaginable news from Iran: 10 Baha'i women have been sentenced to a combined 90 YEARS in PRISON for activities as innocent as teaching music, art, and language to kids. Their "crime"? Simply belonging to a faith the regime doesn't recognize. Women in Iran deserve freedom, not fear. Share their story. Let the world know. 💔 #womanlifefreedom #iranianwomen

"नामुमकिन? फिर इतिहास ने जवाब दिया..." 🇮🇳 From unfurling the Tricolour at Srinagar's Lal Chowk in 1992 despite grave threats, to the historic abrogation of Article 370 and 35A on 5 August 2019, this is the story of conviction, courage and a promise fulfilled by PM Shri Narendra Modi. This video chronicles a decades-long journey guided by the spirit of "𝐍𝐚 𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐲𝐚𝐦, 𝐧𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐦" — transforming what once seemed impossible into one of the most significant constitutional decisions in independent India's history.

No dad should know the pain of burying a child. Tragically, I've been through this myself, on April 15, 2016, when I held my little boy's hand as he drew his final breaths. And then I collapsed on the floor, crying for a half hour straight... I must say, President Biden's response to my question during a roundtable with Jewish community leaders on the ongoing devastation in Israel touched me on a deep, personal level. The president knows the pain of losing someone close. He's experienced it multiple times, nebech. I feel these are the kinds of words the world needs to hear right now.

As we celebrate our very first monthsary, we honor this special moment in a way that mirrors the brightness and boldness of the journey we’ve begun—by lighting up one of the world’s most iconic places with AshRave’s very own LED billboard in Times Square. Amid the vibrant lights, towering screens, and the endless pulse of New York City, AshRave’s presence shines as a symbol of creativity, passion, and growth. It’s more than just a billboard; it’s a celebration of how far we’ve come in such a short period, and a reminder that the world is vast, full of possibility, and ready for us to claim our space within it. Here’s to our first month, to the memories we’ve made, and to the many more milestones yet to come. Today, #AshRave stands tall in Times Square—radiant, unstoppable, and proudly marking the beginning of something extraordinary. Full close up video will be posted in a bit... NYC ONE ASHRAVE

Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, spade in hand, began clearing a mound of hardened silt alongside sanitation workers, not from a podium or raised stage, but in the trenches, shoulder to shoulder. The scene was clear: this wasn’t symbolic. It was a real act, and it spoke volumes. He didn’t just talk about change; he exemplified it. He showed us, through action, that '𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲.' In his own words from the Red Fort, he asked each of us to “𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐨𝐟 ‘𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞?’ 𝐚𝐧𝐝 ‘𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐈 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫?" His question resonates as strongly today:“Has your action safeguarded the interests of the country or not? Has it worked for the welfare of others?” PM Modi’s actions inspired a wave of change, setting off a transformation from dirt-ridden banks to bustling, clean spaces that today attract countless visitors to #Assighat. November 8th reminds us to honor the legacy of Swachhagrahis - those frontline warriors of cleanliness, who stood between us and the COVID pandemic, and continue to work tirelessly each day. Let’s make this a day where our respect for them isn’t only expressed but truly felt. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭:: 1. 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 - the ones who keep your streets, public spaces, and homes clean. Learn their names, get to know them as individuals, and remember that our PM himself has shown respect by washing their feet, honoring their invaluable work. 2.

This act will spread a message of respect, inspiring communities to see their contributions with fresh, appreciative eyes. 3. 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 - whether in a restaurant or their home, and treat it as you would a family gathering. This simple gesture of kindness reinforces that they are part of the larger family of our nation. 4. 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 in your community, with a heartfelt *thank you* message. Allow your neighbors to write their appreciation and recognize their efforts visibly and proudly. These are only a few ideas — but whatever you choose, 𝐝𝐨 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝. These unsung heroes don’t ask for acknowledgment; they don’t demand praise. But it is "our duty" to extend it. Let’s honor their work and recognize the sacrifices they make every day. November 8th is a day to give back the dignity and pride our #Swachhagrahis deserve. Let’s make this a collective movement.
