Amitabh Bachchan pays poetic tribute to Indian Army, faces social media heat, ‘Why can't you speak directly?'
On May 13, Amitabh Bachchan joined the list of Bollywood celebrities who have started paying their tribute to Indian soldiers. The veteran actor shared a screenshot of a stanza from 'Soor samar karani karahin' by Harivansh Rai Bachchan on Twitter (now X). The title of the poem is inspired by a Tulsidas doha. The couplet by the Vaishnav Hindu saint hails brave warriors, who prove themselves through action in battle instead of praising themselves with mere words. Cowards, on the other hand, start rambling when they face the enemy in war, the Doha says. The stanza, shared by Amitabh Bachchan, addresses the 'unyielding, thunder-strong sons of this enraged, furious nation'. 'Clench your teeth today like thunder itself. Stand firm, step ahead, rise high without a single shout. If there's anything to say, let your blows speak from the strength of your hands!' it adds. Amitabh Bachchan added in his post, 'Jai Hind. Jai Hind Ki Sena.' The post comes days after Operation Sindoor, India's categorical assault on terrorist camps in PoK and Pakistan. 'These lines suggest that Mr Amitabh wants to say the Indian Army should take strong action and crush Pakistan completely. But, why can't Mr Amitabh speak clearly and directly?' asked one social media user. 'First, he stayed silent on the terrorist's actions. Then, he decides to say something for the country. Even for that, he took the support of his father's name. What a helpless situation it must have been!' commented another. 'Words hold no value when they come late. People like you are far less worthy than the poor citizens of this country, who never wait for the right opportunity to act,' reacted another. One user demanded, 'Don't watch his shows or movies.. I used to admire him but the way he kept mum when country wanted big statement from people like him he was nowhere. I pledge I won't watch any shows or movies by him.' On May 13, Alia Bhatt shared an emotional message for Indian soldiers after the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor. But, many people were not happy. They felt she reacted too late. One person said she didn't support the country when it mattered. Another mocked her, saying it was 'too early' to speak. Many believe the post was just to save her image.

After ceasefire, schools, colleges and universities in Punjab to reopen tomorrow
Punjab Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains Sunday announced that all educational institutions, including schools, colleges and universities, in the state will reopen and resume normal functioning from Monday, May 12. This was after India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire Saturday evening. Bains in a post on X said, 'All educational institutions — schools, colleges, and universities — across Punjab shall reopen from tomorrow. Regular classes and examinations will proceed as per academic schedule. We are immensely proud of our brave armed forces. Jai Hind Ki Sena. Vasda Rahe Punjab.' On May 8, all educational institutions in the state were closed for three days, given the India-Pakistan military conflict following Operation Sindoor launched by the Indian armed forces targeting terror infrastructure across the border after May 6 midnight. In retaliation for Operation Sindoor, Pakistan resorted to shelling and drone attacks across India's northwest border states, including Punjab, for three days before the ceasefire brought relative calm to the region. On May 8, while announcing the closure of educational institutions, Bains said on X, 'In view of the devolving situation, it is hereby ordered that all Schools, Colleges, and Universities — Government, Private, and Aided — across entire Punjab shall remain completely closed for the next three days.' In a parallel move, the Chandigarh administration had also announced that all schools in the Union Territory would remain closed for two days, following an alert issued by the public relations department. The Kapurthala district administration had said all schools, coaching centres, IELTS preparation institutes, and industrial training institutes (ITIs) would remain closed on May 9 and 10. However, institutions conducting examinations would continue to function, it had said. Panjab University, Chandigarh, also issued a notice Thursday announcing the postponement of all examinations scheduled for May 9, 10 and 12. In an official statement, the controller of examinations said that the new dates would be announced later.
