Congratulations, @narendramodi You have been a source of inspiration to millions, including me. I pray that India continues to rise as Bharat under your visionary leadership. Your friendship has been a defining turning point in my life, inspiring me to dedicate myself to the service of Bharat Mata and contribute, in my own way, to the nation-building journey you have championed. Being called “Your Friend from Goa” by you is a privilege and an honour I will always cherish. I remain proud, grateful, and committed to the ideals of a stronger, self-confident, and resurgent Bharat. Jai Hind. Bharat Mata Ki Jai.

I stand with Israel because they aren’t fighting any war but an existential war. Israel has a right to exist.

I am disappointed by Matthew VanDyke’s bail and subsequent permission to travel to the US. I believe he is a CIA asset, amid what I see as a possible Western strategy to carve a Christian nation from Myanmar, Bangladesh and parts of Northeast India. Yet I trust our PM, HM and NSA understand the larger strategic picture. My concern is investigative failure: when an adversary is drowning in troubled waters, our agencies must never hand him a straw to breathe.

As on today, BJP in Goa will go beyond the majority mark in the State Assembly elections. It is imperative for BJP to ensure the principle ‘United we stand, Divided we fall’ comes into play strategically.

48 hours after the arrest of Matthew VanDyke, I told Arnab Goswami that I believed he would eventually be released because, in my assessment, the entire US Deep State would push the right buttons in India to secure his release. Today, VanDyke has walked out of Tihar Jail and has been permitted by the Delhi court to travel to the United States for a month. The legal route matters. The NIA’s September chargesheet invoked the Immigration and Foreigners Act rather than the UAPA, while the agency maintained that its UAPA investigation was continuing. VanDyke subsequently obtained default bail, and the court later permitted him to travel to the US. I made my assessment 48 hours after his arrest. The subsequent developments speak for themselves. The larger question, however, is not merely why VanDyke was released. It is whether India fully understands the geopolitical networks, diplomatic pressures and strategic interests that can come into play when a foreign national connected to conflict zones becomes entangled in an Indian national-security investigation. That is the question India must examine without emotion, and without fear.

My views on the hurdle to Peacebuilding. goachronicle.com/why-the-wor…

#InternationalDayOfPeace Peace cannot be sustained by simply managing conflict or resolving disputes after they emerge. We must move beyond conflict management to conflict transformation; from conflict resolution to sustainable cohesion. True peace requires addressing the underlying causes of conflict, rebuilding trust, strengthening institutions, and creating societies where differences can coexist without becoming divisions. Peacebuilding must therefore be an ongoing process - not merely a response to crisis. It must transform relationships, narratives and systems while creating pathways for dialogue, dignity and shared purpose. The future of peace lies not in preventing conflict alone, but in transforming the conditions that produce it. Peace must become a process of cohesion.

All Kaydence had to say was, “Dada, can I get a chocolate croissant?” She hadn’t eaten for two days. I ran out of the hospital, found one, and brought it back. That chocolate croissant brought back her smile, her energy - and mine too. Sometimes, a father’s greatest joy is simply seeing his daughter smile and his greatest sorrow is seeing nurses poke needles into her veins to put her on drips.

Thank you everyone for your prayers. Kaydence is getting better.

Do pray for my daughter Kaydence. She suddenly got terribly ill and was taken to the hospital. Grateful to our friend @RashmiDVS for rushing to be there for us at her side.

To our Prime Minister @narendramodi who humbled a common man from Goa, like me, by calling me ‘His friend from Goa’. You are an inspiration to millions of Indians and a hope for India to rise as Bharat. Thank you rekindling the ‘Atmavishwas’ back in us, daughters and sons of Bharat. Happy Birthday and stay blessed always.
