Month after split in NCP, party chief attended ceremony where PM received Lokmanya Tilak Award. This comes at a time when opposition parties are building an anti-BJP front for 2024.
Decision of Tilak family to give Lokmanya Tilak National Award to PM runs afoul of Congress leaders. Tilak's great-grandson & Congress leader Rohit Tilak has denied rumours he may switch to BJP.
Beneath the uniform and the gallantry award was a man of rare humility. There was no trace of bravado in Colonel Sonam Wangchuk, no attempt to wear his achievements on his sleeve.
We now live in a world order that will keep shifting. India must use this window. This also means we remain disciplined enough not to be knee-jerked into reacting to what Pakistan sees as its moment in the sun.
