⌨The newspapers extensively report on Prime Minister Modi's podcast interview with American AI researcher Lex Fridman. Modi discussed his humble beginnings, revealing he never wore shoes to school (Aaj Tak, Mathrubhumi), his relations with Pakistan, claiming they repeatedly betrayed his peace initiatives (Dainik Bhaskar, Jansatta), and the 2002 Gujarat riots, arguing they were mischaracterized as the "biggest ever" while noting the state had experienced riots annually before his governance (India Today, NDTV, Times of India). Modi also spoke about finding purpose through RSS (The Print), his stance on the Russia-Ukraine conflict urging negotiation (Firstpost), and praised Trump as a "prepared" and "courageous" leader (Zee News).
