THE PRESIDENT:  Because you — the Afghan troops have 300,000 well-equipped — as well-equipped as any army in the world — and an air force against something like 75,000 Taliban.  It is not inevitable.  And now the Taliban has taken control over Afghanistan and with it the residences of the warlords who were supporting the Afghanistan government. The same day President Biden said that the Taliban is not the North Vietnamese army of the 70s. There would be no need for evacuating officials by lifting them off the roof of the US embassy. A few days later, we saw these images.  Many thought that after the withdrawal of the US army, there would be upheaval in the country and the Taliban may take back control over some regions. But no one expected the collapse of the government so fast and to this extent. Between 13th April and 14th Au

  A Tryst With Destiny Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's Inaugural Address 14 August 1947 Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this solemn moment, we take the pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people and to the still larger cause of humanity. At the dawn of history, India started on her unending quest, and trackless centuries are filled with her striving and grandeur of her success and failures. Through good and ill fortune alike, she has never lost sight of that quest, forgotten the ideals which gave her strength. We end today a period of misfortune

  These are the different exit polls results released in March 2017 post UP state elections.  Most exit polls predicted that the BJP will win most seats. Only three expected that the BJP will win by a major margin.  Only one exit poll result was the most precise.  Surprisingly, the BJP won without announcing its CM's candidate. The key reason behind this was the magic of PM Narendra Modi.  But another key role was played by... ..the Sangh Parivar.
