Friedreich’s ataxia, or FRDA, is a genetic disorder that progressively damages the nerves and the heart. The affected individuals typically begin to show symptoms between the ages of 5 and 15. They become unsteady and their coordination is impaired. Their speech slows down and slurs. Swallowing becomes difficult. Hearing and vision deteriorates. They feel fatigued, lose sensation, first in the arms and legs, then in the trunk and other parts of the body, and the spine curves to one side. Eventually, most patients die relatively young, of heart disease. There is no cure. Most diagnosed individuals come from consanguineous marriages: that is marriage between relatives, such as uncles & Nieces, or between cousins. FRDA is caused when a gene called FXN becomes mutated. #prelimsphodo2027

Independence Day isn’t just a holiday—it’s a responsibility. Why should the nation rest when this is the day to pledge harder work? Today is about श्रमदान, about giving our effort freely for the country. That’s why I’m holding a session at 4 PM—my own way of serving Bharat. Don’t miss it. आज़ादी का दिन सिर्फ़ एक छुट्टी नहीं है—यह एक ज़िम्मेदारी है। जब यह दिन और ज़्यादा मेहनत करने का संकल्प लेने का है, तो देश आराम क्यों करे? आज का दिन 'श्रमदान' का है, यानी देश के लिए अपनी तरफ़ से स्वेच्छा से योगदान देने का। इसीलिए मैं शाम 4 बजे एक सेशन कर रहा हूँ—भारत की सेवा करने का मेरा अपना तरीका। इसे ज़रूर देखें। #mainsphodo2026
