To my family, friends, and all those who have walked this path with me, I am eternally grateful for your love and support."

He concluded with a powerful call to action. "Together, let us build a nation that stands as a testament to our courage and resilience. Let us work towards a future where every Indian can hold their head high and say, with pride, that they belong to a nation that values justice, equality, and opportunity for all."
