Listened to PM Modi’s Mann Ki Baat was a reminder of who we are as a nation. As he spoke about the tragic attack in Pahalgam, there was grief—but also a quiet, burning resolve. “The pain is immense, but so is our determination,” he said, reminding us that no force can break a country built on sacrifice and dreams.

From the pain of the Pahalgam attack to the inspiration drawn from our freedom struggle and the legacy of Dr. Kasturirangan, it was a call to action and remembrance.
