To see INDIA placed before you, to wear the Indian Tricolour close to your heart, and to witness our nation take its rightful and impactful place among the comity of nations is an honour beyond words.
Today, I had the privilege of representing India at the Asian Parliamentary Assembly session during the 153rd Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Assembly in Arusha, Tanzania.
Proud and humbled to represent the world’s largest democracy on an international parliamentary platform, contributing to dialogue, cooperation, and stronger parliamentary ties across nations. 🇮🇳
A moment of immense pride, gratitude, and responsibility that I will carry with me always.

An evening where music, culture and the spirit of youth came together at Malhar, Connecting Youth and the Music of Monsoon, organised by AntarHriday Connect in collaboration with ITC Sangeet Research Academy, Bharat Ki Soch and Sawasdee Group.
It was a privilege to be present alongside Hon’ble Vice President of India Shri C. P. Radhakrishnan, Hon’ble Rajya Sabha MP and former Foreign Secretary Dr. Harsh Vardhan Shringla, who is also the Chief Patron, along with my Parliamentary colleague Shri Kartikeya Sharma and Shri Amit Khare, Secretary to the Hon’ble Vice President.
The evening was a beautiful celebration of India’s rich classical traditions, with exceptional performances bringing the timeless spirit of the monsoon alive through music and dance.
Such platforms remind us that our cultural heritage is not merely something to preserve, it is something to experience, share and carry forward to the next generation.
A memorable evening celebrating the enduring power of Indian music and the young India that will take this legacy forward.

From the world's largest democracy India to the Royal Palace of Oslo. 👑🇮🇳🇳🇴
Visiteded the magnificent Royal Palace in Oslo — an emblem of Norwegian heritage, pride, and the enduring bond between a people and their history.
Walking through spaces like these is a reminder that great nations are built not just on policy and power, but on the stories they choose to honour and the traditions they choose to protect.
As India and Norway continue to strengthen their ties — through Parliamentary dialogue, cultural exchange, and shared democratic values — moments like this carry a meaning beyond the personal.
They are a meeting of two proud civilisations, acknowledging each other with respect. 🤝
