Pak Will Be Wiped Out If It Continues To Nurture Terrorists: J&K Lt Governor
Mr Sinha saluted the valour and indomitable courage of the armed forces for their strong and decisive action against the "terrorist nation" through Operation Sindoor.
"India has warned terror state Pakistan that our forces can attack every inch of its land, and its entire existence could be wiped off the face of earth if it continues to nurture terrorists in its backyard," Mr Sinha said after attending a theatrical performance of Rashtrakavi Ramdhari Singh Dinkar's epic poem Rashmirathi, organised by the University of Jammu.
"I am proud to see that our young generation is fulfilling the dreams of our founding fathers. They are upholding democratic values, protecting the sovereignty and integrity of the nation, and making sure that terror state Pakistan is punished for its misadventure," he said.
The L-G also called upon the youth to seize the immense opportunity to serve the nation and play a vital role in shaping the country's future development.
"Just like brave soldiers are standing firm in protecting the borders, our young students too should dedicate themselves to driving innovation and India's economic growth," Mr Sinha further said.
He paid homage to the great poet Ramdhari Singh Dinkar and recalled his invaluable contribution to Hindi literature, Indian nationalism and society at large.
"Dinkar is incomparable. His poems are timeless, and each verse is dedicated to existence. He induces intense feelings in his epic, and the nation can sing a song through his words. Our ancestors and great warriors have given voice to their feelings through the immortal personality of Dinkar," he said.
The L-G said that the representation of Dinkar's epic was dedicated to the heroes of the armed forces who taught a lesson to the terrorist nation Pakistan and demonstrated courage, sacrifice, prowess and justice.
"Rashmirathi is not just our ancient history. It is a symbol of the ancient values of righteousness and dharma, which are more relevant than ever before in the evolving geopolitical situation," Mr Sinha said.

Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" Awaits Final Vote: How It Will Impact Indians
Washington: US President Donald Trump's signature tax-and-spending legislation-- " One Big, Beautiful Bill"-- is lined up for final vote over the coming hours in the House of Representatives, the lower chamber of the American Congress. The mega bill, which could define Trump's second term in the White House, has faced an uneasy passage so far. Several members of Trump's own Republican Party have sided with opposition Democrats to criticise the bill for a number of reasons, including the impact on US national debt and healthcare. Trump's sprawling legislation-- which is expected to slash social welfare programs and add an eye-watering $3 trillion to the national debt--was originally approved by the House in May. But it returned to the lower chamber for a rubber stamp after squeezing through the Senate on Tuesday by a solitary vote following several revisions. How The New Version Of The Bill Benefits India Among the revisions in the proposed legislation was a significant dilution of the provision on tax remittances to other countries, including India. In a massive relief for thousands of non-resident Indians (NRIs) and Indian professionals working in the US, who send money back home, the updated draft of the bill released on June 27 showed that the tax rate on remittances was slashed to 1 per cent, down from the 5 per cent proposed originally. The tax rate was brought down to 3.5 per cent in the House version of the bill earlier. The rule will apply to all US residents who aren't US citizens-including Green Card holders, people on temporary visas such as H-1B or H-2A and foreign students. The reduction in tax on all international money transfers will benefit nearly 45 lakh Indians living in the US, including nearly 32 lakh persons of Indian Origin. It will apply to all remittances made via cash, money orders, or cashier's checks. "There is hereby imposed on any remittance transfer a tax equal to 1 per cent of the amount of such tax imposed by this section with respect to any remittance transfer shall be paid by the sender with respect to such transfer," the updated draft of the bill states. The new draft also said that the bill will exempt remittances made from "an account held in or by a financial institution" and those "funded with a debit card or a credit card issued in the United States".

Meet Bollywood's ‘shortest-lived' superstar for who producers fought, once bought jeans for Salman Khan, now forgotten
It is often said that Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan are the last true-blue superstars of Bollywood. While debates continue over who among the newer generation deserves that title, names like Yash, Prabhas, Nagarjuna, and Mammootty from South Indian cinema are widely regarded as pan-India superstars today. Long before them, alongside Rajesh Khanna—the first superstar of Indian cinema—there was another actor in the 1980s who shot to fame overnight with a blockbuster debut. However, his stardom was short-lived, as he failed to recreate the same magic in his subsequent films, earning him the tag of Bollywood's 'shortest-lived' superstar. We are talking about actor Kumar Gaurav. Born as Manoj Tuli in Lucknow, Kumar Gaurav is the son of legendary actor Rajendra Kumar and belongs to Bollywood's Behl family. Director Ramesh Behl and Shyam Behl are his uncles, and his cousins include Ravi Behl, Geeta Behl, and Goldie Behl (married to actress Sonali Bendre). Kumar Gaurav made a much-hyped Bollywood debut with Love Story in 1981, co-starring Vijayta Pandit. The film was a massive success and turned him into an overnight sensation. Not just the film, but even its songs—especially the iconic Yaad Aa Rahi Hai—remain etched in the hearts of fans even today. Following the success of Love Story, expectations soared for Kumar Gaurav's next film. He reunited with the same successful trio—composer RD Burman, singer Amit Kumar, and himself—for Teri Kasam, which many felt featured even better music than Love Story. However, despite all the anticipation, the film flopped. Reflecting on their unsuccessful collaboration, Amit Kumar told journalist Subhash K. Jha, 'People hoped Kumar Gaurav and I would become a team like Rajesh Khanna and my father (Kishore Kumar). But that wasn't meant to be.' Vijayta Pandit also recalled the frenzy around Gaurav during Love Story, saying, 'I've never seen such hysteria for any actor. He was mobbed wherever we went. Not since Rajesh Khanna had Bollywood seen such madness.' After Love Story, producers lined up to cast Gaurav. Scripts poured in, and a superstar was born. Fifteen months later came Teri Kasam. But when it failed at the box office, it rattled both Gaurav and his father. 'The adulation was overwhelming,' Gaurav once said, as quoted by Times Now. 'I couldn't leave home without being swarmed by fans. We truly believed audiences would embrace Teri Kasam just as they did Love Story.' Sadly, they didn't. In an effort to revive his son's career, Rajendra Kumar produced several films, including Star (featuring the hit duo Nazia and Zoheb Hassan), followed by Lovers, Romance, Hum Hain Laajawab, and All Rounder. Unfortunately, none of them succeeded. In 1986, Mahesh Bhatt's Naam, produced by Rajendra Kumar, gave Gaurav a meaningful role. But it was Sanjay Dutt who walked away with all the praise. In a final attempt, Rajendra brought together his family and friend Sunil Dutt for Phool (1993), but that too couldn't revive Gaurav's stardom. His decline was steady, and after his final film Kaante (2002), Kumar Gaurav quietly stepped away from the industry. Now 68, he lives a life far removed from showbiz. In an interview with Subhash K. Jha, he shared, 'I regret nothing. Stardom was a blessing and I'm thankful for it. But I enjoy my peace now.' Kumar Gaurav's fame extended beyond the screen. Known for his generosity, Salman Khan once recalled on Koffee with Karan how Gaurav supported him during his struggling days. He said Gaurav gave him his new jeans when he had very few clothes. Gaurav was also a heartthrob among women. Following the success of Love Story, he reportedly dated his co-star Vijayta Pandit. Although they were serious, their relationship ended after Rajendra Kumar allegedly disapproved of Vijayta. He was later briefly engaged to Raj Kapoor's daughter, Rima Kapoor. The engagement was eventually called off for reasons unknown. While some believe it was because he had fallen in love, others link it to the dating rumours surrounding him at the time. He later married Namrata Dutt, daughter of Sunil Dutt and Nargis, and sister to actor Sanjay Dutt.
