    Pokhran II: India’s Nuclear Breakthrough | India

    Kunal takes you back this week to look at the historic Pokhran-II tests, the moment India officially became a nuclear power. Back in May 1998, India secretly carried out five underground nuclear tests in the Rajasthan desert, shocking the world. Code-named “Operation Shakti,” these tests were a huge achievement for the country, led by Dr R Chidambaram and Dr APJ Abdul Kalam and a team of brilliant Indian scientists. We'll break down how they pulled it off, what it meant for India's global standing, and how the world reacted. It’s a story of science, strategy, and India making its mark on the world stage.

    Dalai Lama’s Escape to India | India

    Welcome back to A Century Of Stories: India presented by IDFC FIRST Bank! This week, Kunal takes you back to 1959. Amid escalating tensions between Tibet and China, the 14th Dalai Lama made a daring and secretive escape from Lhasa to India. Fearing for his life, the Dalai Lama embarked on a dangerous two-week journey across the Himalayas with a small group of followers. The perilous trek took them through harsh mountain terrain, evading patrols, until they reached safety in India. In news that made headlines around the world, he was immediately granted asylum, a reflection of India's deep-rooted humanitarian values and commitment to offering refuge to those in need.

    1942: Usha Mehta’s Radio Rebellion | India

    Welcome back to A Century Of Stories: India presented by IDFC FIRST Bank! This week, Kunal tells the story of Usha Mehta - a prominent Gandhian freedom fighter known for her pivotal role in India’s independence movement. She is best remembered for organising the secret underground radio station that broadcasted uncensored news and messages of resistance against British colonial rule during the Quit India Movement in 1942. Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s principles of non-violence and civil disobedience, Usha Mehta’s courageous efforts helped sustain the spirit of the struggle for freedom. Even after independence, she remained an advocate for Gandhian values, continuing her work as a social activist and educator. Subscribe for more such captivating stories!
