'Should I speak in Hindi or Marathi?': Rajya Sabha nominee Ujjwal Nikam says PM Modi asked him this; recalls both 'laughed'
Sunday, 13 July 2025 Ujjwal Nikam, renowned special public prosecutor, expressed gratitude for his Rajya Sabha nomination, recounting a personal call from PM Modi. The Prime Minister, after jokingly asking whether to converse in Hindi or Marathi, spoke in Marathi to convey the President's decision.
Prashant Kishor has launched a blistering attack on Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray after his controversial “slap those who don’t speak Marathi” remark. Calling Thackeray a “lumpen element” hiding in Mumbai while targeting poor migrants, Kishor slammed both BJP and Congress for their deafening silence on the issue. In a scathing rebuttal, Kishor reminded Thackeray that Maharashtra doesn’t belong to his father and warned against making heroes out of violent politics. Kishor also exposed the political convenience behind this rhetoric — just ahead of the BMC elections. He demanded Tejashwi Yadav and opposition leaders break their silence and stand up for Hindi-speaking migrants. The issue is rapidly snowb@lling into a national flashpoint on regional identity, governance, and electoral desperation.

After the 12-day Israel-Iran war, an unexpected village in India has entered global focus. Kintoor, a village in Uttar Pradesh, is the ancestral home of Iran’s first Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. His grandfather, Syed Ahmad Musavi, was born there before migrating to Iran in the 1800s via Iraq, retaining “Hindi” in his name to honor his Indian roots. Khomeini’s rise from this legacy shaped modern Iran’s theocratic system. As geopolitical tensions rise, Kintoor’s forgotten link now highlights a deep historical and cultural bridge between India and Iran.
