Modi thanks Jagger for note in Hindi

INDIA’S prime minister Narendra Modi responded to a ‘thank you’ note by Rolling Stones frontman, Mick Jagger.

After concluding his India trip, the legendary rocker shared a note written in Hindi on X. His note accompanied a video of him singing Dreamy Skies from Hackney Diamonds, the band’s new album.


Jagger, 80, expressed his gratitude and mentioned how the India visit offered a refreshing break, giving him a temporary respite from his worries and issues.

He wrote alongside the post, “Thanks India. Got away from it all here!”

He wrote in Hindi, roughly translating to “Thanks and Hello India. Away from daily chores; I felt very happy to come here. With much love to you all, Mick.”

Reacting to his note, Modi asked him last week to “keep coming”. “You Can’t Always Get What You Want’, but India is a land brimming with seekers, offering solace and ‘Satisfaction’ to all. Delighted to know you found joy among the people and culture here. Do keep coming,” Modi wrote on X.

Jagger celebrated Diwali and Kali Puja in Kolkata.

“Happy Diwali and Kali Pujo. Happy Diwali and Jai Kali Maa,” he wrote in the caption of a set of pictures he shared on his social media account.

Jagger, a cricket fan, was also seen watching an ICC World Cup match in India recently.

The Immigration Health Surcharge is a fee that most people applying for eligible UK visas must pay as part of their immigration application. It is intended to contribute towards the cost of healthcare during their stay in the country.

Migrants pay 60% more into NHS than their healthcare costs, analysis finds

Highlights:

  • Migrants paying the IHS contributed at least 60% more to NHS finances than their estimated healthcare costs in 2023/24, including standard tax contributions.
  • The annual surcharge has risen from £200 to £1,035 for most visa applicants.
  • IHS revenue peaked at almost £2.5 billion in 2024/25.
  • The surcharge now accounts for more than 1 per cent of the NHS budget.
  • Revenue fell to £2.3 billion in 2025/26 as immigration numbers declined.
  • Around one-fifth of the NHS workforce comes from overseas, according to the Nuffield Trust fellow quoted in the report.

  • Migrants who pay to live and work in the UK are contributing substantially more to NHS finances than the estimated cost of the healthcare they receive, according to new analysis by the Nuffield Trust. The findings have reignited debate over immigration, healthcare funding and the purpose of the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS).
