The Story in Brief
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday urged young people to read autobiographies and avoid social-media reels, saying “shortcut will cut you short”. He spoke at the launch of former president Ram Nath Kovind’s autobiography “Triumph of the Indian Republic: My Life, My Struggles”. Modi said Kovind’s life showed how determination could overcome adversity and rise to the highest constitutional office.
The prime minister also praised Kovind’s continued work on the ‘One Nation, One Election’ initiative. Modi appealed to youth to learn from the struggles of others. He recalled that Kovind lost his mother in a childhood fire but grew stronger. Kovind himself spoke of his village roots and said government housing schemes gave poor families a roof. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and Chief Justice Surya Kant attended.
The Indian Opinion
The irony is hard to miss: a government that last month told ministers to post reels on Instagram now warns Gen Z against reel culture. The real test is not a speech but action, will the PM’s own social-media team stop posting reels themselves? Young Indians can spot hypocrisy faster than any algorithm. Let us see if the ‘shortcut will cut you short’ line is applied to official messaging too.
