Writing recently in the journal Think China, a veteran China-watcher predicted that the emergence of the Chinese middle class as a dominant political and economic force will have a profound impact both domestically and internationally. The 'middle class', is, of course, a flexible concept everywhere in the world though it's usually safe to establish a linear link between a burgeoning middle class and a corresponding enhancement of cosmopolitanism and liberal values. But this is problematic when it comes to the People's Republic of China. For, the reductionist nature of its system of governance is premised on not just a command capitalist economy but also a tightly controlled society. In effect, we are looking at the prospect of what is being termed 'cosmopolitanism with Chinese characteristics'. Counter-intuitive as these formulations may be, if there is one thing the China story has proven, it is that nothing can be ruled out. Scholars are agreed that the cradle of the dynamic Chinese middle class is Shanghai. It is the country's most Westernised city and has long been termed China's gate to the outside world or even the bridge between East and West where the twain once met. From the Middle Kingdom's opening up to foreign powers after the Opium Wars to Deng Xiaoping's reform era, it was mainly Shanghai that introduced the world to China and vice-versa. The city has been both the incubator of the middle class and the go-to place for foreign-educated returnees carrying with them Western ideas. But Shanghai is also the birthplace of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and, during the Cultural Revolution, the city was the epicentre of Maoist radicalism. It is this historical paradox which is likely to play out in the years ahead as the green shoots of democratic thought ~ which some hope may incrementally lead to calls for multi-party elections ~ clash against the non-negotiable position of the unelected leadership that the current system is open to tinkering but not fundamental change. State control is the key in China, as the goings-on in Hong Kong over the past couple of years have exhibited, and any challenge to that discourse is likely to be given short shrift. Members of the Chinese middle class have, overwhelmingly, it is worth keeping in mind, proven to be as nationalist as the next CCP apparatchik despite the few outliers who are tolerated and whom the Western narrative tends to focus on. The bottom line is that an estimated 400-500 million citizens enjoy a middle-class lifestyle with private property, personally owned automobiles, access to quality health care, accumulation of financial assets, and the ability to afford overseas travel and foreign education for their children, all of which the totalitarian state has enabled. The world is fooling itself if it thinks 'cosmopolitanism with Chinese characteristics' would challenge the supremacy of that apparatus. ### Response: | The Chinese way | 1,924,150 |

Editorial Typically speaking, January 6 is supposed to be a day that while important for the American democratic process, is of little consequence to the public or the world at large. After an election year, Congress comes together to certify the Electoral College victory of the winning candidate in a procedure that is largely ceremonial. This was emphatically not the case this time around. January 6, 2021, will live on in American history as a reminder of what happens when leaders forego their duties to hold back the worst excesses of humanity that surface in a democracy. It is a day which will forever be remembered with the vivid image of the US Capitol Building, the enduring symbol of American democracy, being desecrated by an angry mob looking to subvert democratic process in a misguided burst of 'patriotism'.Exploding police munitions framed the scene of anarchy, the Capitol Building bedecked with smoke and red Trump banners as a massive crowd of armed protestors raged against a system that they were directed to hate and mistrust. Such scenes of carnage in the heart of American democracy have not been witnessed since 1814 when the British burned down much of Washington DC. Yet for all the shocking, dystopic visions of anarchic America, few can claim that the general direction of these events was surprising. There were indications for quite some time that the traditionally peaceful transition of power was not forthcoming. Trump and his allies had built up the day as the turning point, the last-ditch effort in 'preserving' American democracy and reversing the vote steal. On numerous occasions, Trump and his close circle had incited his support base to agitate, to 'fight' for their freedom against an enemy that would stop at nothing to take away their rights, their freedoms, their values of what America should be. They built up January 6 as a day to remember, They were not wrong. Thousands of supporters marched on the Capitol Building, smashing barriers, brandishing weapons and showing clear intent to use violence if their demands were not met. The US Capitol police were overwhelmed by the weight of numbers as assailants wearing body armour finally broke into the Capitol Building as US lawmakers were evacuated or barricaded and sheltered inside. While chanting that they were 'retaking' Congress, the rioters broke into offices, vandalised and ransacked with impunity and posed with a Confederate flag. In the chaotic melee that followed as the police attempted to keep lawmakers safe, four people lost their lives and many more were injured. Image after image showed a crowd that embodied anger, intolerance and absolute contempt for the greatest lawmaking body in America. Things became serious but they could have been worse. Atleast two pipe bombs were recovered from the Democratic and Republican headquarters. And what was Donald Trump doing as crowds chanting his name ransacked the 'citadel of American democracy'? He tweeted unapologetically, refusing to take responsibility or condemn the rioters until he was forced to later on. When he did finally ask the rioters to stand down, it was in typical Trump fashion where he called on the 'good people' to return home and not sink to the level of their opponents. He also took to repeating his assertions of a stolen election in a video that has since been taken down. Indeed, Twitter and Facebook prominently suspended Trump's account for serious violations where he appeared to be inciting the violence. But it would be shortsighted and misleading to lay the entirety of the blame for what happened at the feet of Trump. The blaze that Trump continued to feed kindling to was already a smouldering fire when he came on the scene. An old curse of American democracy, partisanship had been growing increasingly divisive and toxic in American politics for decades. A purely political divide gave way to rhetoric of absolute political othering. Your opponent was no longer a detractor, he was your enemy, the enemy of your nation and an enemy that you must 'confront. This sort of black and white labelling has always been a convenient ploy for a politician, Donald Trump simply brought such practices further into standard convention in America. He normalised a political culture that accepts all extremes so long as they serve to keep one in power. This sin is one that rests with the Republican Party as well. As many commentators and late-night television hosts pointed out, the Republicans could see the tide shifting just as well as the other side could. The could see the damages of Trump's rhetoric but they let it pass for political power and the hope that they could somehow outrun the raging inferno that would engulf American democracy should the demagoguery of Trump be allowed to continue. They couldn't, a fact that is not lost to many Republicans that flipped on their support for Trump following the events of last night. They claimed that he had gone a step too far while ignoring that they had bandwagoned along for the entire ride. Their fears that Trump may have cost them much in terms of power have been realised as the Democrats seized control of the Senate and Presidency while retaining control of the House. Now they are in crisis mode. For all the carnage, the day ended with Biden being declared the winner again and Trump reluctantly conceding the race at long last. But the turmoil doesn't end here. The anger and hatred that is dividing America is still there, Trumpism has not been shunned and buried. Ultimately, January 6 should be a warning to all democracies of the dangers of allowing our worst excesses to seep into our politics, of injecting our politics with the rhetoric of hate and absolute othering. ### Response: | Under siege | 2,289,232 |

Chinese President Xi Jinping hosted the High-Level Dialogue on Global Development (HLDGD) on June 24. This virtual meet was part of the BRICS summit that China recently hosted. This particular meeting included many non-BRICS members. Apart from BRICS member states like Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, countries that attended the meeting were Iran, Egypt, Fiji, Algeria, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. Guess who was not in attendance? Pakistan and its Prime Minister, Shahbaz Sharif. Pakistan's absence in an important meeting that is being seen as a precursor to BRICS' expansion is no small deal. The expansion of BRICS has been on the cards for quite some time now. The High-Level Dialogue on Global Development, meanwhile, represents all the countries that might be given entry into BRICS. Pakistan has always wanted to be a part of the same, yet, its absence from the significant virtual meet points to the fact that Islamabad is not a frontrunner to become a member of the organization. India Gets China to Block Pakistan Pakistani media is rife with reports which say India was the country that got China to block Pakistan's entry into the High-Level Dialogue on Global Development. In a statement, the Pakistani Foreign Office Monday said, "We have noted that this year a 'High-level Dialogue on Global Development’ was held as a BRICS side event in which a number of developing/emerging economies were invited. Regrettably, one member (of BRICS) blocked Pakistan's participation." A spokesperson for the Pakistani Foreign Office said, "However, we do hope that future engagement of the organization would be based on the principles of inclusivity keeping in view the overall interests of the developing world and in a manner that is devoid of narrow geopolitical considerations." That China reportedly succumbed to pressure from India, and blocked the entry of its "all-weather ally" into the important BRICS side-event has ruffled many feathers in Pakistan, with many in Islamabad feeling cheated. Suddenly, Pakistan sees its only 'friend' drifting away from it to better position itself among the democratic world - of which India is an integral part. Pakistan is being continuously snubbed by China for quite some time now. In fact, even when Imran Khan was Prime Minister in February and Beijing hosted a handful of "world leaders" on the occasion of the opening of the Winter Olympic Games, Islamabad was told to cut down its ministerial entourage. China offered no loans or bailouts to Pakistan, and all that Imran Khan got was a short and inconsequential meeting with Xi Jinping. The Chinese Reset China is recalibrating its foreign policy. As a part of this temporary reset, China is looking to distance itself from both Russia as well as Pakistan. Antagonizing the United States and its allies in the West has cost Pakistan dearly. US President Joe Biden, for one, had neither called Imran Khan after taking over the White House, and neither has he spoken to Pakistan's new Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif yet. India, on its part, has made it a point to diplomatically isolate Pakistan. Having said that, getting China to block Pakistan's entry at an event hosted by it is a big win for New Delhi. To an extent, China also seems to be offering an olive branch to India, in wake of heightened tensions between the two Asian powers that has only proven detrimental to Beijing's interests. Amid an economic slowdown that threatens to derail China's ambitions of replacing the United States as the world's largest economy; the global reset being caused by the war in Ukraine and the CCP's heightened scrutiny of Xi Jinping's actions - Beijing is toning down its rhetoric and distancing itself from problematic partners. For Pakistan, the loss of China as a friend, even momentarily, is not just a PR crisis, but is also an indicator of how Beijing might turn its back on Islamabad without blinking twice. That China has done so already by not inviting Pakistan to the HLDGD meet - that too at India's behest - will make many people in Islamabad and Rawalpindi perspire uncontrollably.

SHILLONG, May 4: Umiam bridge is perhaps a disaster waiting to happen. But in ensuring that it is averted, the High Court of Meghalaya has asked the state government to make every endeavour to ensure that the replacement of Umiam bridge is planned and the work commenced without waiting for the existing bridge to collapse. The court, on Wednesday, said it is heartening that the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) have agreed that the Umiam bridge should be replaced by a more robust construction so it can withstand regular traffic. "Indeed, the BRO indicates in its affidavit that vehicles bearing a total weight in excess of 10 MT should not be allowed on the bridge. There is no doubt implicit in such suggestion is that the existing bridge may not be able to bear the present traffic load. This is a situation which cries out for a stitch in time so that Shillong is not cut off for the want of a bridge over a reservoir," the court said in an order. "The State must also immediately regulate the flow of traffic along the bridge to ensure that not only the vehicles weighing more than 10 MT are not allowed on the bridge, but also to see that two heavy vehicles do not use the bridge at the same time to cause any further damage thereto. Measures should be taken so that the traffic is regulated at either end and the flow is not disrupted, yet not too many vehicles use the bridge at the same time, particularly keeping in mind the total weight spread over the bridge," the order said. The court said the state government may approach the Centre for release of appropriate funds since the matter pertains to the shortest access to the state capital.

The daily bus ridership of the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) spiked by around 36% on Monday compared to a week ago when only 50% of the seating occupancy was allowed in the buses, the DTC said on Tuesday. The jump in ridership after the latest Covid-19 relaxation was steeper than that of the Delhi Metro, which registered an increase in ridership of only about 9.3% on Monday, data analysed by HT showed. Buses and the Delhi Metro were operating with 50% seating capacity till Sunday. This has been increased to 100% from Monday, but no standing passengers are allowed inside buses or the Metro.Read all the latest updates on COVID-19 here. So effectively a DTC bus can now carry 33 passengers (excluding the driver and conductor), while a Metro coach can carry 50 people (400 for an entire train). DTC data showed that last Monday (July 19), its fleet of 3,760 buses carried 1,102,513 passengers. During that period, buses were allowed to ply with only 50% seating capacity. On Monday (July 26), when the restriction was lifted to allow 100% seating capacity, the ridership increased to 1,522,444. Similarly, the total earning of the DTC through tickets also increased from ₹1.01 crore to ₹1.58 crore on the days mentioned above. This means that the per bus earning last week was around ₹3,450 which increased to ₹4,611 this week after the relaxation. 'Compared to the pre-pandemic days, the average daily bus ridership, even after the relaxation, is less by around 1.6 million. Till March 2020, for example, the DTC used to carry around 3.2 million passengers every day,' said RS Minhas, deputy chief general manager (public relations), DTC. The Delhi Metro, which also started operating with 100% seating capacity from Monday, witnessed at least 1.75 million passenger trips on day one after the relaxation, as compared to the usual 1.6 million passenger trips seen on Mondays. The combined DTC and cluster bus fleet in Delhi currently is 6,750 - the highest in nearly a decade. It was during the 2010 Commonwealth Games that Delhi last operated around 6,000 buses. However, the city needs 11,000 buses, according to a government affidavit submitted to the high court in 2018.

As many as 15 companies, including Adani Copper Tubes, LG Electronics and Wipro Enterprises, with committed investment of Rs 1,368 crore, have been selected as beneficiaries under the PLI scheme for the white goods sector, the government said on Tuesday. In March, the commerce and industry ministry had reopened the application window for its Rs 6,238-crore PLI scheme for white goods -- air-conditioners (ACs) and LED lights-- with an aim to accommodate more players as several firms had expressed interest in the initiative. Last year, as many as 46 firms, including Daikin, Panasonic, Syska and Havells, with committed investment of Rs 5,264 crore were selected in the first round the scheme. In the second round, 19 companies had applied. "After evaluation of the 19 applications received in the second round...15 applicants with committed investment of Rs 1,368 crore have been provisionally selected as beneficiaries," the commerce and industry ministry said. Four applicants -- Zeco Aircon with a committed investment of Rs 100 crore; EMM ESS Aircon (Rs 52 crore); Speedoffer India (Rs 18 crore); and SIMOCO Telecommunications (South Asia) Ltd (Rs 10.63 crore) -- are being referred to the Committee of Experts (CoE) for examination and its recommendations, it added. The 15 firms selected include six for manufacturing AC components with committed investments of Rs 908 crore and nine for LED light components with committed investments of Rs 460 crore. "These 15 companies will have total production worth Rs 25,583 crore over five years and generate additional direct employment of 4,000 persons," it said. The production linked incentive (PLI) scheme on white goods is designed to create a complete component ecosystem for ACs and LED light industry in India and make India an integral part of the global supply chains. The ministry said the scheme is expected to lead to total production of AC and LED lights components of about Rs 1,22,671 crore over five years. Briefing media on this, Anil Agrawal, Additional Secretary in the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) said that as a result of PLI, the domestic value addition in these segments is expected to grow from the current 15-20 per cent to 75-80 per cent. He said the scheme and other regulatory measures including quality control orders, standards and labels had given a big boost to Make In India and Atmanirbhar Bharat in ACs and LEDs. The ministry said for ACs, companies will be manufacturing copper tubing, compressors, control assemblies, heat exchangers, among others. Similarly, for LED lights, chip packaging, drivers, light management systems and metallized films for capacitors will be manufactured in India. On April 7, 2021, the Union Cabinet gave its approval to the scheme for these goods, to be implemented over 2021-22 to 2028-29 with an outlay of Rs 6,238 crore. The scheme extends an incentive of 6-4 per cent on a reducing basis on incremental sales for a period of five years subsequent to the base year and one year of gestation period. Applicants provisionally selected for the scheme include Adani Copper Tubes (with committed investment of Rs 408 crore), LG Electronics India (Rs 300 crore), Mitsubishi Electric India and Kaynes Technology India (Rs 50 crore each). The list also includes Jindal Poly Films (Rs 360 crore), Sahasra Semiconductors Pvt Ltd (Rs 20 crore), Wipro Enterprises (Rs 12 crore), and Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals (Rs 10.15 crore). Al the 61 applicants approved in both the rounds are expected to bring investments in component manufacturing ecosystem of ACs and LED Lights industry to the tune of Rs 6,632 crore and generate about 46,368 direct employment opportunities.

Tamil cinema has been politically active and rarely do they question the political system. But recently, the Tamil industry has been constantly questioning and countering the Union government. If we look at the recent films of Thalapathy Vijay, he raised questions against the Centre. In Mersal, the lead character questions the GST.Recently when the Union Government proposed an idea to make a few changes to the existing Cinematography Act, stars from the Kollywood opposed it and said that the move will hinder the freedom enjoyed by the filmmakers. A few directors also said the same. Joining the force, the Tamil Nadu government also wrote a letter to the Union government to reconsider the move.Hinting that the Tamil Cinema will be questioning the Union government, a recently released song from a Tamil Cinema had raised many questions. Many think that the song is insulting the Union Government and a complaint has also been filed against the film.The first single from Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan'a upcoming film Vikram titled 'Pathala Pathala' was released recently. The lyrics were penned by Kamal Haasan himself and he sang the song. After the song's release, it had landed in a big controversy as many think that Kamal targeted the Union Government with the song.Alleging that the song targets the Union Government on various issues, a social activist had reportedly filed a complaint with the Commissioner. Expressing his dissatisfaction with the song and how the lyrics were written targeting the Union Government on the Covid management and the economy, he moved the Commissioner's office.'After a few stars like Vijay and Vishal made films questioning the Union Government, they faced IT raids a few times. Post consulting the raids, the IT officials said that their records were clear and there is no wrong on their part.The IT raids raised doubt if the Union Government want to send a strong message that those who question them will have to face the music. Despite the Centre saying that it has nothing to with the films, many feel the same. The Kollywood industry stood in solidarity with Vijay and Vishal. ### Response: | After Vijay, Kamal Haasan Targets Union Government? | 870,496 |

Noida, May 9: A team of Rajasthan Police is in Noida in Uttar Pradesh to arrest TV journalist Aman Chopra for allegedly promoting enmity between different groups and hurting religious sentiments, an official said on Sunday. According to Dungarpur Kotwali police station, an FIR was registered against Chopra by a man alleging that the journalist gave false and fictitious details by showing that the demolition of a temple in Rajgarh of Alwar district was done by the Rajasthan government as an act of revenge following the demolition drive in Delhi's Jahangirpuri. Three FIRs have been registered against Chopra, including in Bundi, Alwar and Dungarpur districts, under various sections pertaining to sedition, outraging religious sentiments and promoting enmity between two groups and under the IT Act on April 23. Chopra got a stay from the Rajasthan high court on his arrest in two FIRs registered against him in Bundi and Alwar district, but is facing an arrest warrant following a local court order in Dungarpur district, police said. 'Our team is camping in Noida and searching all possible locations to trace him. Yesterday, also our team went to Chopra's house but he was not found there and his residence was locked,' Dungarpur SP Sudhir Joshi told PTI. He said the high court order does not mention the FIR registered in Dungarpur and stay was given on his arrest in FIRs registered in Bundi and Alwar districts. When asked about cooperation from the Noida police in the matter, Joshi said, 'Our team was stopped and asked to come to a local police station before directly acting on the arrest warrant. We cannot say that it is full cooperation.' He said Noida Police was already informed about the case details and this was the second time the police team had gone for his arrest. However, the officials of the Noida Police said they provided full assistance to the Rajasthan Police in carrying out all due procedures, even as the news anchor was not found at his home in the Bisrakh area.

New Delhi, Sep 2 (IANS) A Delhi-based think-tank, Red Lantern Analytica, has written a letter to the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) over the grave human rights violations being committed by the Taliban in the aftermath of the takeover of Afghanistan.The think-tank urged the UN body to send a fact-finding mission to Afghanistan to assess the overall situation of human rights under the aegis of the human rights unit of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan.The letter addressed to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, highlighted that the recent takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban has once again sparked fears about a return to its oppressive regime that was in place from 1996-2001. This period saw the human rights situation in Afghanistan deteriorate to alarming levels, with women and children being the biggest sufferers.The think-tank also said that despite the Taliban's assurance that the new government would support human rights, including the rights of women, the truth remained far from such statements.The Red Lantern Analytica has also said that the number of civilian casualties has hit alarmingly high numbers and more than 180 civilians have been killed in Afghanistan, with more than 1,000 others injured."A report by the UN has found that the war-torn country saw a 47 per cent increase in civilian casualties since the start of 2021, as compared to before. Moreover, 46 per cent of the casualties included women and children, exposing the lies behind the Taliban's commitment to human rights in the country. "It should be further noted that the extent to which media freedom has been suppressed by the Taliban since their takeover of Kabul, the actual numbers of deaths will be much higher than the reported numbers," the think-tank said.They also mentioned about the recent report of Amnesty International that the Taliban massacred nine Hazara men after taking control of the Ghazni province in Afghanistan. "Pakistan supporting the terrorist outfits (including the Taliban, Al Qaeda and the Haqqani Network) in Afghanistan and elsewhere exposes a deep nexus that Islamabad and the Taliban share," the think-tank said.The Red Lantern Analytica is an independent think-tank based in New Delhi. It carries out researches on critical issues related to China, as well as important current affairs. --IANS ams/arm ### Response: | Delhi-based think-tank writes to UN body on human rights violation by Taliban | 1,818,183 |

New Delhi: Leading carmakers are grappling with a huge backlog of around 6.5 lakh units, with chip shortage continuing to crimp their manufacturing activities and leading to long waiting period for customers.Click here to get Latest Updates on Cars & Bikes The country's largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki India alone has a backlog of around 3.4 lakh units while Hyundai and Mahindra & Mahindra have a combined pending order list of about 3 lakh units. Tata Motors, Kia and Honda Cars are also sitting on substantial pending orders. With the auto industry slowly witnessing revival after pandemic shocks, in recent times, even luxury carmakers have seen demand outstripping supply, resulting in backlog of orders. "As per our estimates, there should be a backlog of around 6.5 lakh units across the passenger vehicle market. For Maruti Suzuki alone, the figure has crossed the 3.4 lakh mark," Maruti Suzuki India Senior Executive Director (Marketing and Sales) Shashank Srivastava told PTI. According to him, enhancing production is the only way out of the situation. "The last two quarters have been above nine lakh mark (sales) for the industry. It is the first time ever in the Indian auto industry that we have crossed nine lakh sales in consecutive two quarters. it means that demand remains very strong in the market," Srivastava said. The pending order list has grown due to chip supply issues which have been continuing for nearly two years now, he said and added that it will take time to redce the backlog. "Going ahead, with enhanced production it will come down". A Tata Motors spokesperson said the waiting period for its passenger vehicle range stretches between 4-12 weeks, depending on model variant and colour. "And for electric vehicles, it is going up to 6 months," the spokesperson said. Honda Cars India Director (Marketing and Sales) Yuichi Murata said the supply side challenges, including world-wide chip shortage has affected its production and despatches since last year, leading to longer waiting periods for customers. "Unfortunately, this situation still persists and we are trying our best to address this situation," he said. Further, he said the company has been prioritising production of fast selling models and variants to cater to the demand effectively. The waiting period for company cars varies anywhere from 2 to 9 months. Petrol variants have two months of waiting, diesel variants have 3-5 months and City Hybrid has a waiting of 9 months for new bookings. Semiconductors are silicon chips that cater to control and memory functions in products ranging from automobiles, computers and cellphones to various other electronic items. The usage of semiconductors in the auto industry has gone up globally in recent times with new models coming with more and more electronic features such as bluetooth connectivity and driver-assist, navigation and hybrid-electric systems. | India inks pact with Namibia for reintroduction of cheetahs ### Response: | Carmakers grapple with backlog as chip shortage hits production | 234,098 |

New Delhi, Jun 29 (PTI)Shiv Sena rebel MLA Eknath Shinde on Wednesday told the Supreme Court that the Uddhav Thackeray-led faction is in a "hopeless minority" within the party and a floor test in the Assembly is the best way to stop horse-trading. Shinde's counsel told a vacation bench of Justices Surya Kant and J B Pardiwala that any delay in the floor test would cause more damage to the democratic polity. Senior advocate N K Kaul, appearing for Shinde, argued that the pendency of disqualification proceedings before the speaker is no ground to delay the floor test. "Dance of democracy takes place on the floor of the House and that is what is being sought to be done," Kaul told the bench. The apex court is hearing Shiv Sena chief whip Sunil Prabhu's plea against Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari's direction to the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government to take a floor test in the Assembly on Thursday. "They (Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena) are in a hopeless minority within the party itself, forget the House," Kaul argued, adding that the unfolding situation requires a floor test, and the Governor, in his discretion, has decided that it be conducted. During the arguments, the bench observed that the floor of the House is the only way to settle these issues of democracy. The bench also asked senior advocate A M Singhvi, appearing for Prabhu, how can floor test impacts the disqualification process or interfere with the powers of the speaker to conduct disqualification proceedings. "Our understanding is that floor of the house is the only way to settle these issues of democracy," the bench observed. Singhvi told the apex court that people who have changed sides do not reflect the will of people and heavens won’t fall if the floor test is not held tomorrow. He argued that the court must not allow a floor test to be held till the deputy speaker decides on the disqualification petition against some rebel MLAs. Singhvi told the bench that the order to conduct a floor test at a "supersonic speed" amounts to putting the cart before the horse. He said two MLAs of the NCP are down with COVID-19 while two MLAs of the Congress are abroad and they are asked to participate in the floor test on Thursday. Singhvi argued that allowing floor tests would mean making Tenth Schedule a "dead letter". The bench observed that the Tenth schedule is one of the robust provisions and the court should strengthen it. The hearing in the matter is underway. The petition has contended that the Governor vide communication dated June 28, 2022 (which was received today i.e., on June 29 at about 9:00 am) has decided to hold a floor test in complete defiance of the fact that this court is seized of the issue of the disqualification proceedings. ”Such undue haste is manifestly arbitrary and therefore violative of Article 14,” said the plea and sought directions seeking setting aside of the impugned communication sent by the Governor to the Chief Minister as well as to the secretary of the Assembly. Koshyari has asked the Maharashtra Legislature Secretary to hold a floor test of the MVA government at 11 am on Thursday. ### Response: | Maha crisis: Uddhav Thackeray-led faction in hopeless minority within party, Eknath Shinde to SC | 1,366,574 |

It may be recalled that in the years 1952, 1953, and 1966 no invitation was extended to an international dignitary to be chief guest British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who had accepted India's invitation to be the chief guest for the Republic Day celebration this year, has had to back out unexpectedly on account of domestic compulsions caused by a renewed surge of Covid-19 infections in the UK. We sympathise with his situation. Since this is a last-minute problem, let us just be practical about it and not bother tearing our hair to find a suitable replacement at such a late stage. There is no harm in saying pass this year. Since this is an unusual period for all of the world, the pandemic provides us a perfectly good reason to not go scouting for a dignitary after the British leader has been obliged to drop out. Late in 2018, when US president Donald Trump informed us that he was unable to accept the invitation to be chief guest on account of scheduling difficulties, we were fortunate that President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa did not stand on ceremony and agreed to step in at a late hour. South Africa is a good friend and its president was most gracious. Nevertheless, the pandemic poses a problem for all and it is not fair to put friendly nations in a quandary by asking them when barely three weeks remain. Although institutional memory may have faded in this regard, it may be recalled that in the years 1952, 1953, and 1966 no invitation was extended to an international dignitary to be chief guest. Of course, since then invitations have gone out each year. There have also been somewhat unusual situations. In 2018, for example, the ten leaders of Asean nations were collectively invited to be Chief Guest. In 1956, there were two chief guests - Britain's chancellor of the exchequer as well as the chief justice of Japan. Hospitality being a part of diplomacy, R-Day chief guests are chosen from countries that India may want to be especially solicitous toward for reasons of geopolitics or geo-economics in a given year. Not having one in a particular year just speaks of extraordinary circumstances. ### Response: | AA Edit | Scale down the parade | 2,280,167 |

Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Wednesday reviewed the detailed project report (DPR) for extending the Metro line from Palam Vihar to Dwarka Sector 21 Metro station and directed officials to check if the last 1.5km of the line - in Delhi - can be constructed underground. Khattar, who chaired the review meeting at the PWD Guest House on Wednesday evening, asked officials to submit a report on the matter within the next 15 days. This direction means that the final approval for this project will have to wait further. Senior officials privy to the matter said that the Haryana government wants to construct part of the Metro line underground in order to avoid the acquisition of land owing to prohibitive costs. Also, if part of the line is constructed underground, it will reduce the length of the spur between Palam Vihar and Dwarka Sector 21, according to officials.According to the DPR, the proposed Metro line will be 8.4km long and comprise seven elevated stations. In Haryana, the length of the line will be 4.9km, and in Delhi, it will be 3.5km. It will have interchange stations at Sector 21 in Dwarka and at Rezangla Chowk in Palam Vihar, where it will connect with the proposed Huda City Centre and Cyber City Metro line. The other stations proposed are Choma village, Sector 110 A, Sector 111, Sector 28 in Dwarka, IECC. All these stations will be elevated. The government said that the project will be implemented by Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation.Khattar said that the proposed extension to Dwarka will "greatly help commuters between west Delhi and Gurugram."The proposed Huda Metro extension, which the Union housing ministry is considmeetsering as well, will further expand the Metro network across the city, he said.Officials of the Railway India Technical Engineering Services (RITES), who prepared the DPR presented it at the meeting, said a senior official. The detailed project report envisaged the cost of the project at ₹2,281 crore. If approved, the project will become operational in 2027, said the officials.The operation and maintenance cost of the Metro project has been pegged at ₹65.61 crore in 2027 and ₹88.19 crore in 2031. The detailed project report said that the revenue for this route will mainly comprise fare collection and earnings from property development, advertisements, property development and parking, etc. It estimated a revenue worth ₹326 crore in 2027 and ₹447 crore for 2031.According to experts, a system selection is done based on the analysis of the pattern and demand for intracity and intercity travel. "Once these corridors are established, a feasibility study is carried out for submitting proposals to the Union ministry of housing and urban affairs. Based on guidelines, if the Centre finds the proposal justified, it is cleared to be implemented as per the common mobility plan, which is agreed upon by stakeholders in different states," said Sewa Ram, professor and head of department, transport planning, School of Planning and Architecture.Sign on to read the HT ePaper epaper.hindustantimes.com ### Response: | Haryana CM meets officials over Metro project, wants DPR in 15 days | 922,311 |

Lahore, Sep 21: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ramiz Raja was left fuming after the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced that the tour of Pakistan in October by their men's and women's teams had been cancelled due to "increasing concerns about travelling to the region." New Zealand too had called of their white-ball tour of Pakistan recently hours before the start of the opening match in Rawalpindi citing security threats.Read all the latest updates on COVID-19 here. ECB's decision to cancel the Pakistan tour has dealt a massive blow to the country's busiest home season in nearly two decades. In a video message released by the PCB on Tuesday, Ramiz said, "I am severely disappointed in England's withdrawal but it was expected because this western bloc gets united unfortunately and tries to back each other. "So you can take any decision on the basis of security threat and perception. There was a sense of anger because first New Zealand got away without sharing information about the threat they were facing. Now, this [England] was expected but this is a lesson for us because we go out of our way to accommodate and pamper these sides when they visit. And when we go there, we undergo strict quarantines and we tolerate their admonishments, but there is a lesson in this. That is, that from now on we will only go as far as is in our interest," added Ramiz. Since Covid-19 swept the globe, Pakistan have toured England twice besides flying to New Zealand and West Indies, only to see England pull out citing the "mental and physical well-being of our players". After New Zealand, England Also Cancels Pakistan Tour Due to Security Concerns . "Our interest is that cricket will not stop in our country and if the cricket fraternity will not take care of each other then there's no point to it. New Zealand, then England, now we have a West Indies series that can also be hit, and Australia who is already reconsidering. This -- England, Australia, New Zealand -- is all one block. Who can we complain to? We thought they were our own but they haven't accepted us as theirs." The PCB is in talks with Zimbabwe, Sir Lanka and Bangladesh to fill up the gap -- and possibly staring at a revenue loss of around USD25 million -- but there could be logistical problems. "We have to improve and expand our cricket economy so that these countries remain interested in playing us," he said. "That is in our interests as well so that our players are paid better and we are respected more. They come to the PSL where they don't get spooked or fatigued but collectively they have a different mindset together toward Pakistan. PCB Reaches Out to Sri Lanka and Bangladesh for Short Tours but No Series Could Be Planned . "We go in the World Cup now and where we had one team in our target -- our neighbours [India], they now add two more teams -- New Zealand and England. So pick up the strength and develop a mindset that we are not going to lose because you didn't do right with us and we will avenge that in the ground."

New Delhi, Apr 6 (PTI) As the national capital is set to get a new unified municipal corporation, the swanky and towering Civic Centre in the heart of Delhi is set to become its headquarters, with officials saying there is “enough space” in the existing main hall to accommodate all members of the House that will come into being after civic polls. Parliament on Tuesday passed the Delhi Municipal Corporation (Amendment) Bill, 2022, with the Rajya Sabha giving its nod to it through a voice vote after negating all amendments sought by the opposition. The number of seats in the merged municipal corporation of Delhi will not exceed 250, and a special officer may be appointed to oversee its function till the first meeting of the body is held under the reunification law, according to the bill. Since the trifurcation of the erstwhile Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), the NDMC and the SDMC have 104 wards each, while the EDMC has 64 wards, spanning272 wards in total. While the headquarters of the NDMC and SDMC are housed in the state-of-the-art Civic Centre complex, whose tallest block is 28-storey high, EDMC is based out of Udyog Sadan at Patparganj. The meetings of House of NDMC and SDMC, both by turns, are held at the capacious Aruna Asaf Ali Sabhagar — the main municipal hall of the civic centre. Now, with the number of wards set to be revised as per the bill, the size of the House will grow from its current strength. “The new civic body that will come into being once the bill becomes an Act, and after the fresh delimitation exercise will have members, not exceeding 250. And, we have enough space to accommodate all members in the Aruna Asaf Ali Sabhagar,” a senior official said. He said, even for conducting meetings of the Standing Committee of the civic body that will come into being, “there is enough space in the hall meant for such purposes. While NDMC has six zones, SDMC has four and EDMC two zones. Sources earlier had said that the delimitation commission will start the exercise to reorganise municipal wards in accordance with the population in respective Assembly segments.“The delimitation exercise alone will take around 6-7 months. After the delimitation exercise is completed, its report has to be notified by the Centre and then the process of rotation of wards, and other poll exercises will be started. So overall it is likely to take a year to conduct municipal elections in Delhi,” a source had said. Civic polls were due in Delhi in April 2022. The terms of the three corporations — SDMC, NDMC and EDMC — end on May 18, May 19 and May 22 respectively. The erstwhile MCD had come into being on April 7, 1958 and it was set up after amalgamating several local bodies and administrative committees, according to archival records. According to old documents and reports accessed by PTI, and views of many experts, the MCD was modelled on the lines of the ‘Bombay Municipal Corporation’, when it was being envisaged by policy-makers, around a decade after India's independence. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi had come into being under the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957. From 80 councillors in 1957, through successive delimitation, the number of wards was expanded to 134 and eventually to 272 in 2007. The MCD had begun its journey at the historic Town Hall in old Delhi, where it was housed from 1958 till about 2009, after which it was shifted to the Civic Centre on Minto Road opposite the New Delhi railway station. Prior to the MCD, it housed the old Delhi municipality. On April 22, 2010, Shyama Prasad Mookejee Civic Centre, was inaugurated by the then Union Home Minister P Chidambaram with former deputy prime minister L K Advani as the Chief Guest. The function was presided over by the then Delhi mayor Kanwar Sain, and attended by then chief minister Sheila Dikshit, BJP leaders Sushma Swaraj, V K Malhotra, and other senior leaders. According to a plaque installed at the Civic Centre, Shiriesh Malpani and Associates, Delhi was the architect firm, while contractor was M/s IJM Corporation Berhad, Malaysia. The historic Town Hall was built in 1860s and construction completed in 1866 at a cost of nearly Rs 1.86 lakh. The building was earlier called Delhi Institute or Lawrence Institute, and is still considered one of the most iconic buildings of the city, which earlier had a Gothic-design clocktower in front of it. While the clocktower was demolished soon after Independence, the area is still called ‘Ghantaghar’. A heritage renewal project for the over 150-year-old building has been planned by the NDMC for the past several years, but it has not taken off the ground yet.

The much-acclaimed filmmakers of The Kashmir Files spoke at the UK Parliament at an event hosted by former Minister, Baroness Sandip Verma and Member of Parliament, Gagan Mohindra. Themed, "India, World Peace and Humanism", the event marking the importance of freedom of expression and human rights of minorities was attended by a number of Members of Parliaments from both House of Commons and House of Lords as well as local elected Councillors from across the UK. Parliamentarians across party lines joined Vivek and Pallavi in a frank conversation about freedom, liberty and humanity extended by virtue of respect towards human rights. Among the Parliamentarians in attendance included Jonathan Lord (MP for Woking; Conservative), Virendra Sharma MP (Southall & Ealing; Labour), Lord Dholakia (Liberal Democrat), Jane Stevenson MP (Wolverhampton North East; Conservative), Henry Smith MP (Crawley; Conservative), Lord Jitesh Gadhia (Non-Affiliated), Navendu Mishra MP (Labour), Theresa Villiers MP (Conservative), and Sam Terry (Ilford South; Labour). Take a look at glimpses from the same: The Kashmir Files is a 2022 Indian Hindi-language film written and directed by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri. Released only in March of this year, it is already the highest-grossing Hindi movie of 2022, the only Indian movie that has ever been signed for deaf audiences and is on course to be the most-watched Hindi movie of all time, having crossed 9 million views in the first week of its OTT release alone.The movie is based on true incidents as narrated in video-recorded testimonials of the victims and the families of the Kashmiri Hindu genocide of 1990. The genocide of the Kashmiri Hindus in Kashmir, India following rising violence in an insurgency resulted in half a million people into forced exile, thousands were killed, many women raped, some cut alive on a chain saw and some drowned in rivers with boulders tied to them. Most recently, such barbarism was seen against Yezidis in Iraq but while Yazidis have gone back to their lands, the Kashmiri Hindus continue to live in exile and those who do try and live in Kashmir are getting killed even today.The filmmaker highlighted the atrocities inflicted on the Hindus of Kashmir via a short documentary that records first-person accounts of persecuted victims of the Hindu Genocide in Kashmir. The film, The Kashmir Files is the first-ever movie on the silver screen to highlight the plight of the Kashmiri Pandits and their long struggle for justice.While referring to the controversies surrounding the cancellation of his talk by Oxford Union, Vivek talked about the Right to Free Speech and how certain vested interests and anti-India lobbies in the UK were suffocating this basic freedom, thereby denying the Hindus their Genocide in Kashmir. Denial of Genocide, he remarked is as heinous as Genocide itself as Hindus continue to be murdered in the Kashmir valley by Islamist terrorists even today.An early day motion, EDM 1095 was tabled by Padmashree Bob Blackman MP in Parliament earlier this year: "The Kashmir Files and recognition of the genocide of Hindu Kashmiris and Indian legislation on genocide and atrocities prevention of genocide of Hindu Kashmiri Pandits in Jammu and Kashmir." The text of the Motion reads That this House offers its acknowledgement of the painful and gruesome story of Kashmiri Hindus, as highlighted for the first time on a celluloid cinema screen via the film, The Kashmir Files; congratulates Mr Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri and Ms Pallavi Joshi, the film makers for interviewing over 700 Kashmiri Hindu families including several in the UK, hearing their first person accounts and documenting them, before presenting it on the big screen; is concerned that the Kashmiris who fled persecution have still not seen justice for the atrocities committed against them; commends the resilience and courage shown by the members of Kashmiri Pandit community who survived this gruesome ethnic genocide and who did not resort to taking up arms but instead pursued education and aspiration; further notes that the international principle of the responsibility to protect obliges individual states and the international community to take effective measures to prevent the commission of genocide and crimes against humanity as suffered by the Kashmiri Hindu community; joins the Prime Minister of India in acknowledging the pain and suffering of the Kashmiri Hindus; urges the Government of India to fulfil its long-standing international commitment to recognise and acknowledge the worst form of genocide of Hindus in Jammu and Kashmir and enact the proposed Panun Kashmir Genocide Crime Punishment and Atrocities Prevention Bill; and further urges the UK Government to extend the UK's long standing commitment to protect the victims of genocide to the Kashmiri Pandits.

After the BJP suspended Nupur Sharma over her remarks on Prophet Muhammad during a recent TV debate, the leader took to Twitter to issue an apology. She wrote, "If my words have caused discomfort or hurt religious feelings of anyone whatsoever, I hereby unconditionally withdraw my statement. It was never my intention to hurt anyone's religious feelings."
Explaining her stance, she said, "I have been attending TV debates for the past many days where our Mahadev was being insulted and disrespected continuously. It was mockingly being said that it is not Shivling [at Gyanvapi mosque] but a fountain. The Shivling was also being ridiculed by comparing it to roadside signs and poles in Delhi." "I could not tolerate this continuous insult and disrespect towards our Mahadev and I said some things in response to it," Nupur Sharma said. THE SUSPENSION The BJP high command suspended national spokesperson Nupur Sharma over the controversy on Sunday. The party also expelled Delhi BJP's media in-charge Naveen Kumar Jindal from primary membership of the party. In the suspension letter, the party's central disciplinary committee wrote, "You have expressed views contrary to the party's position on various matters... Pending further inquiry, you are suspended from the party and from your responsibilities with immediate effect." THE CONTROVERSY In a recent TV debate on the ongoing Gyanvapi row, Nupur Sharma is believed to have said that certain things from Islamic religious books could be mocked by people. She said Muslims are mocking the Hindu faith and calling the 'Shivling' claimed to have been found inside the mosque complex a fountain. Cases have been registered against Nupur Sharma for hurting religious sentiments in Hyderabad, Pune and Mumbai. On Friday, violence had broken out in Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh after a Muslim organisation gave a call to shut shops in Parade Market over the remarks made by Nupur Sharma.

Sahib himself has said that the party made him CM and allowed him to continue as CM for nine and a half years," he said in a statement posted on Twitter. Gehlot said Captain Amarinder Singh has served the people of Punjab by working to the best of his capacity. The Rajasthan Chief Minister said the high command sometimes has to take decisions in the interest of the party on the basis of feedback from the MLAs and common people. "I personally believe that the Congress president chooses the chief minister at the risk of inviting displeasure of several leaders who are in the race for chief ministership. However, when the same CM is changed, he/she is displeased and holds the decision wrong," Gehlot said. "One should listen to one's inner voice in such moments. I think it should be a matter of concern for all the countrymen as to what direction the country is heading towards due to fascist forces," said Gehlot. "Therefore, the responsibility of all of Congressmen increases at such times in the interest of the country. One must rise above oneself and think in the interest of the party and the country," he added. The Rajasthan Chief Minister further said he hopes "the respected leader" Captain Amarinder Singh will continue to work in the future also keeping the party's interests in the forefront. : Punjab Crisis: Who Will Fill Capt Amarinder Singh's Shoes? Cong Huddle To Decide New CM Captain Amarinder Singh tendered his resignation as the chief minister earlier on Saturday following months of infighting between him and Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) chief Navjot Singh Sidhu. Singh, who resigned months before the 2022 Punjab Assembly elections, said that he would decide his future political course of action in consultation with his supporters who have stood by him for over five decades. ### Response: | Hope Amarinder Singh Won't Take Any Step That May Harm Congress: Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot | 1,992,128 |

He was also named the Player of the Match for his outstanding performance and during the post-match presentation, he lauded captain Hardik Pandya for showing faith in him."(It) was one of those nights and with the kind of bowling partners I have, makes things very easy for me. It's great (to have a potent bowling unit) and helps to spread calmness in the group. The pressure was coming from both ends with the ball and it worked for us. I think it (bowling extra fast) is more of an instinct thing," said Ferguson in a post-match presentation."There was a lot of bounce in the surface and I was looking to bang away on that hard length. Some gripped and it worked for me with Rishabh's wicket. Was a good all-around performance from the bowlers. Hardik is always giving us confidence to play the game that we want to play and it's nice to have a captain who trusts your skills," he added.Titans have a four-day break before they return to action on April 8 against the Punjab Kings.Sign on to read the HT ePaper epaper.hindustantimes.com ### Response: | 'Nice to have captain who trusts your skills': GT's star pacer lauds Pandya's captaincy; 'He always gives us confidence' | 421,881 |

If not many are aware of it; R Madhavan who is playing the lead in the Rocketry: The Nambi Effect has also directed the movie after the original director left the film due to his prior commitments. The film is all set to hit the theatres on July 1, 2022, in multi-languages like Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and English. The trailer has been receiving astounding responses across the globe; it reportedly received a standing ovation at the Cannes film festival 2022. R Madhavan who did a perfect job as an actor and director confessed that he wouldn't be directing in the future and Rocketry: The Nambi Effect is his first and last film as a director. Talking to the media, the actor said, "I don't think I have it in me to direct again. It's an exhausting process and I have no immediate plans as such to direct. Even with Rocketry, since the original director attached to the film had to exit the project due to his prior commitments, I took up the mantle as I didn't have time to approach anyone else. Mr Nambi believed in me and he pushed me to take up the job and I thought it was my duty to do it." He further added that how his wife wants him to focus on acting, "My wife wants me to focus on acting for now. I'm no Mani Ratnam to confidently make films in different genres. I don't think I can do it. If I have to direct again, then a story should move me." Well, this is the most ambitious project of the actor. Shah Rukh Khan has a cameo in the Hindi version of the film and reportedly he didn't charge a rupee to be a part of the movie. In the Tamil version you will see South star Suriya in a cameo. Talking about the same, Madhavan said, "When I told Suriya that Shah Rukh Ji is doing a small role in the Hindi version and that I wanted him to play the same role for the Tamil version, he immediately said he'd do it. When it came to shooting, Suriya flew down to Mumbai's Mehboob studio with his staff and shot for the scene. He booked his own flight tickets and didn't even charge a penny for his work." Madhavan got massive support for the film and we hope that this hard work pays him off well. ### Response: | R Madhavan won't be directing after Rocketry: The Nambi Effect; says, 'I am not Mani Ratnam to...' | 1,300,136 |

Punjab batsman and skipper Mandeep Singh put a brave show in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy on Friday evening, when he came to bat against Baroda in his side's semi-final clash. Mandeep had hurt his shoulder while fielding in the first innings and was off the field for some time. Mandeep, due to the injury didn't come to bat at his normal No 3 and instead came to bat at No 6 when his side deperately needed some magic to go past the side from Gujarat. Mandeep arrived at the crease when Punjab required 91 runs off the last seven overs. Mandeep was visibly in some discomfort but the cricketer, who had lost his father during the IPL 2020, put his team first, again. Mandeep looked on song from the first ball he faced and started to smash the Baroda bowlers. With three fours and three sixes, Mandeep finished with an unbeaten innings of 42 runs off just 24 balls.

The Arunachal Pradesh government on Friday announced formal devolution of powers to Panchayati Raj institutions (PRIs) in the state. The development comes 52 years after the first panchayat elections were held in 1969 in the North East Frontier Province (NEFA) (the name of the region till Arunachal Pradesh became a Union Territory in 1972). Making the announcement in Itanagar, Chief Minister Pema Khandu called the development a significant step in the history of grassroots democracy in the north-eastern state. On September 30, the state cabinet had decided to devolve powers to PRIs as per the 73rd amendment to the Constitution and 11th schedule of the Constitution in 29 subjects. Khandu informed that the devolution of powers was based on SPICE (sustainable, participatory, inclusive, comprehensive and empowerment) formula devised by the panchayat department. 'It was my commitment to empower grassroot functionaries, which dates back to the first election in 1969 in the state of Arunachal Pradesh, but do not enjoy the absolute power they are entitled to,' Khandu said in his address. The CM informed that 10% of the state's own resources would be devolved to PRIs from the next financial year. This will be in addition to finance commission grants which will be based on the criteria of population and area based on the ratio of 50:50. While 70% will be basic grants, 30% will be performance-based. This will be in addition to the 14th finance commission grants, stated a release issued by Khandu's office. The CM urged PRIs to plan projects and measures based on 15 of the 17 sustainable development goals recommended by United Nations.

New Delhi, June 29 The Supreme Court on Wednesday said that Maharashtra's Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government will have to face a floor test in the Assembly scheduled on Thursday.A vacation bench of Justices Surya Kant and J.B. Pardiwala refused to interfere with Governor's direction to the MVA government to prove its majority in the Assembly on June 30. "We are not staying the floor test. We are issuing notice... you can file counter," it said.The top court also said it will hear the matter on merits along with other cases on July 11, and the result of Thursday's test will depend on the final outcome of this petition.After a marathon hearing of more than 3 hours, the bench had reserved its order on the plea by Shiv Sena chief whip Sunil Prabhu, challenging the Maharashtra Governor's direction to prove its majority in the House on Thursday.In a related development, the top court also allowed Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik and former Anil minister Deshmukh, who are imprisoned in money laundering cases, to be escorted by the CBI/ED to the Assembly to cast their votes in the floor test.During the hearing on Prabhu's plea, senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, representing him, contended that it won't be proper to have a floor test while tying the Speaker's hands and urged the court to either allow the Speaker to decide the disqualification proceedings or defer the floor test. He urged the top court to balance the equities and defer the floor test by a week, seeking either the Speaker be allowed to decide the disqualification proceedings, or to advance the hearing in the matter.Senior advocate Neeraj Kishan Kaul, representing the rebel MLAs, submitted that the top court, in its judgments, had said the disqualification proceedings against the MLAs have no bearing on the floor test in the House. "We are the Shiv Sena and we represent the Shiv Sena (not the other minority)," he said, telling the court that there are 39 dissident MLAs, out of which 16 have been served with disqualification notices as he emphasised that "the dance of democracy takes place on the floor of the house".He said that the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena is in a "hopeless minority within the party itself, forget the house" and submitted that the best way to prevent horse-trading is to conduct the floor test.Senior advocates Kaul and Siddharth Bhatnagar, assisted by advocates Abhikalp Pratap Singh and Utsav Trivedi, appeared for 16 rebel Shiv Sena MLAs.

BSNL prepaid plan: The state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has launched a new data plan for prepaid users in the country. The new BSNL prepaid recharge plan is worth ₹1,498 and it comes with a validity of 365 days. The newly introduced ₹1,498 plan offers 2GB of data per day, which totals to 730GB of data annually. Once the daily data limit expires, BSNL prepaid offer will reduce the speed to just 40Kbps. One of the biggest drawbacks of BSNL prepaid plan is that it does not offer support for any voice-calling minutes to the users. KeralaTelecom.Info, which first spotted the plan says that apart from that, this BSNL prepaid offer does not provide any SMS benefits to the users either. This means that BSNL prepaid subscribers who opt for this plan will have to purchase plans that offer voice-calling benefits and SMS benefits separately. That said, BSNL's newly introduced ₹1,498 prepaid recharge plan is available as a Data Voucher STV, which means it is aimed to provide users just the data benefits and not any calling benefits.

Telly star Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya says years ago, she quit a TV show to avoid a traumatic experience. Today, Divyanka is a star in the television space thanks to her work in fiction as well as reality shows such as "Banoo Main Teri Dulhann", "Ye Hai Mohabbatein", "Nach Baliye" and "The Voice". But there was a time when she was desperately looking for work, and even though she got an opportunity she didn't take it up. Commenting on harassment at work, Divyanka told IANS: "Many men think it is a man's world, but it is not. Women are ruling in all the ways possible. They are at par with men. But some men feel they can get a free pass. They think they can tease someone or pass lewd remarks and get away with it. It used to happen, it also happens now. It's just that I always knew where to set a boundary. Since the time I started working, I knew what I didn't want." "I knew that I wanted to do good work, but not at the cost of my dignity. In fact, I left a show. I won't name the person, producer or the channel. I had signed a show, and the maker made a pass at me. He was very indecent. I left the show because of that. I knew that it would be a traumatic experience for me because any daily soap continues for a certain number of months or years, and I couldn't see myself in that kind of a situation," she shared. Even though she didn't have any other work offer at that time and was "desperately" looking for work, she refused to continue working on that show. "I was not so desperate to still continue, so I left the show. Saying no at the right time is extremely important. You deserve respect. Your position doesn't matter. If you'll respect yourself then others will respect you," said Divyanka, who made her acting debut in the 2006 show "Viraasat" with a small role. "This happened a year or two before I got 'Yeh Hai Mohabbatein'. At that time I was in need of work. I bagged the show, but I backed off. I was told by the makers and channel that I'll have to do the show, but I told them that I have enough proof on my phone so, don't push me. I was allowed to walk away. The channel didn't go against me after this incident, after seeing the stupid conversation. They didn't say anything because they knew I was right. One should never shy away from taking a stand," she added. After her debut, she played the lead role in "Banoo Main Teri Dulhann", which ran from 2006 to 2009. Later, she appeared as a guest or contestant in several shows, including "Comedy Circus". Then, Divyanka took up the lead role of Dr. Ishita Bhalla in the long-running show "Yeh Hai Mohabbatein", which aired from 2013 to 2019. She also starred in the 2019 web show "Coldd Lassi Aur Chicken Masala". She recently hosted a special series, "Crime Patrol Satark: Women Against Crime". In the year ahead, she looks forward to lots of work. "I want to do different kinds of roles. Doing 'Crime Patrol', for instance, was so refreshing. I always wanted to spread awareness about women and give a message to the entire society, not just women. I would like to do films and web series, too," said Divyanka. ### Response: | Divyanka Tripathi Recalls When She Chose 'Dignity' Over a TV Show | 2,378,709 |

India won Independence on 15th August, 1947 but why did we wait until 26th January, 1950 to declare India as a republic? Today on our 71st Republic Day, let’s solve this little mystery for you: There was a time when our leaders were in favour of Dominion Status, where the Monarch of the United Kingdom would still be the constitutional head of India. The main aim of our leaders WAS NOT complete independence from the British. During 1927 when S. Bhagat Singh, along with Hindustan Republican Association started gaining recognition in the Indian political scenario, they proposed the idea of complete independence. This influenced the young leaders of the Indian National Congress like Subhash Chandra Bose and Jawahar Lal Nehru. They wanted Congress to demand complete independence as well, but their demand fell on deaf ears. So, in the December of 1928, the Indian National Congress passed a resolution demanding Dominion Status, and gave the British government one year’s time. The British rejected the idea, saying that India was not ready for home rule or dominion status. This angered the Congress and during its session in December 1929, held in Lahore, a young Nehru was elected as President, and the Congress finally voted for Purna Swaraj (complete independence) as opposed to a dominion status for India. A resolution was passed, fixing the last Sunday of January, 1930, to be celebrated as our Independence Day, which incidentally fell on the 26th. On that day, Jawahar Lal Nehru hoisted the tricolour on the banks of Ravi in Lahore. The Indian populous proudly celebrated India’s Independence Day on 26th January, 1930. But the Britishers were still around. Until the fateful day of 15th August in 1947, when India awoke to proper freedom. Our Constituent Assembly, however, was already formed in 1946. And our Constitution was ready by the 26th of November, 1949. It was then that the leaders, in honour of the first Independence Day celebrations of 26th January, 1930, decided to wait for 2 more months to officially enforce it.

Panaji, June 27: Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant reviewed a probe by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) into cases of illegal land grab in the coastal state. A special investigation team probing land grabbing cases in Goa has arrested four persons, including two government staffers, an official said.The four accused are identified as Vikrant, Mohammed Sohail, Diresh Naik and Shivanand Madkaikar. During the investigation, it was revealed by the accused that there are no legal heirs to some properties as the owners have died or migrated. A high level meeting will be convened by the Goa CM, Revenue Minister, Chief Secretary, DGP, Revenue Secretary and In Charge SIT to review SIT's progress and to decide further course of action on the lands which did not have any registered owners or the owners had passed away or migrated without doing succession proceeding. "Earlier the accused arrested by SIT had revealed that they had forged documents of close to 70 properties of which majority of them were of a similar nature," the press note added. Meanwhile, former Congress President Girish Chodankar demanded the sacking of a 'Cabinet Minister' involved in land grabbing cases in Goa to pave way for free and fair investigations. In his series of tweets, Chodankar stated "Constitution of Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate illegal land grabbing using forged documents is a welcome step taken by the Government. When I had raised the issue I was mocked by people in power, even my effigy was burnt." "Chief Minister must immediately sack the Minister and also send officers involved on forced leave till the investigations are completed," Chodankar wrote on his social media handle. ### Response: | Goa CM Pramod Sawant reviews SIT probe on illegal land grabbing | 1,337,781 |

According to ESPN Insider Brian Windhorst, Kyrie Irving could be on the move to Los Angeles Lakers. Irving, currently a Brooklyn Nets player, picked up his player option in Brooklyn. However, the situation is far from certain. The Nets wanted Irving to sign as a free agent. However, disagreements in contract length and incentives led to a reported impasse. Kyrie's locker-room issues, combined with his injury history, have swayed many teams away. While the teams who are interested in Irving now will deal a package for the star who 'absolutely' wants to play in LA and may leave in free agency. Insider Brian Windhorst recently said, "Kyrie Irving wants to be a Los Angeles Lakers. This we know. The Lakers want Kyrie Irving. This we know. But, making that happen, that's a different story. We don't get a good feeling there's any team seriously on the market for Kyrie right now beyond the Lakers." ALSO READ: Goal is to win a championship with Timberwolves, says Rudy Gobert "It doesn't mean they don't like or value him. They don't want to pay a possible price the Nets are asking. It is one of those things where we have to wait and see. I doubt Kyrie will be back [with Brooklyn], I think he'll be on the Lakers, but I don't know when it will happen," added Windhorst. "There's not a lot of bidders here. The Lakers are going to lowball the Nets, and obviously, that has happened so far because they know they are bidding against themselves for the most part. Most teams mentioned in the Kyrie sweepstakes have run away from even being attached to it in rumours," Windhorst continued. ALSO READ: NBA Summer League 2022: Josh Giddey stars in Thunder win; fans jubilant "The one thing that is a potential change agent here is LeBron James wants Kyrie Irving. It's not because he wants Kyrie Irving because he's the best teammate and his history. He wants Kyrie Irving because the Lakers can get him. He doesn't have a lot of choices and knows he has a contract extension situation coming up," asserted Windhorst. "That's the change agent. If there's no deal by early August when LeBron can extend, will LeBron use that as a leveraging point to force the Lakers? If I were the Nets, I would be hoping so," Windhorst concluded. The Irving rumours were further sparked when Irving attended a WNBA game between the LA Sparks and Seatle Sparks in Los Angeles. ### Response: | NBA off-season 2022: Kyrie Irving absolutely wants trade to Los Angeles Lakers | 93,110 |

Azent Overseas Education can make your journey easier as competition to study in UK, Australia Intensifies New Delhi [India], July 22 (ANI/Mediawire): After having remained closed during the pandemic, as universities in Australia and the United Kingdom (which were managing classes in a hybrid model through the pandemic) are opening their borders to international students, a boom in the number of applications has intensified competition among aspirants.But Azent Overseas Education's unique offerings can make an otherwise cumbersome university application process, much easier for Indian students.Right from the selection of courses to finding the right university, making students aware of application deadlines, and even offering scholarships to help them realise their dream of studying abroad, this Mumbai-based firm does it all."The pandemic resulted in an increase in the number of students applying to UK and Australian universities as many looked forward to reaping the benefits of an international degree in terms of career prospects. The graduate immigration route and skilled worker route for UK and the extended post study work visa in Australia are particularly attractive when deciding to study overseas." said Atul Nishar, Founder and Chairman, Azent.After having opened the new student visa route on Oct. 5, 2020, the UK government finally removed all travel restrictions and requirements relating to COVID-19 in March.Following the move, foreign enrolments in the UK universities rose about 9 per cent to over six lakh international students taking admissions in the 2020/21 academic year, compared to 2019/20, as per data from the Higher Education Statistics Agency.The competition to study in the UK among Indian aspirants was stiffer, as enrolment from the country grew higher than average, at 27 per cent to 53,015 in 2020/21, compared to the previous academic year, the data shows.In December last year, Australia also lifted restrictions on its universities to allow international students after a wait of nearly two years."Similar to how the UK market has rebounded after opening up to foreign students, we expect a similar growth trend for Australian universities too," said Priyanka Nishar, Founder & Managing Director, Azent."With students being able to work part-time for 40 hours a week, Australia is spending billions of dollars on job creation, and international students are a big part of it," she said.Winners Begin EarlyDespite the opening of borders, pursuing studies abroad requires one to begin early."Azent helps students right from the beginning of their 'study abroad' journey, which includes strengthening their profiles, helping them find the best accommodations during their stay, and ensuring that the application and visa processes are hassle-free for students," said Priyanka Nishar.As an overseas student herself (Cornell University and Harvard Business School alumni), Priyanka saw the gap students encountered when pursuing their degrees overseas. "The absence of accurate information and lack of communication were significant issues," she added.Students at Azent have access to over 1,450 universities from the UK, USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, Germany and Ireland. It aids students across India through its online portal, as well as its brick-and-mortar counselling centres.Step by StepThe journey of a student at Azent starts with its proprietary university search portal 'Azent Compass'. The online platform uses artificial intelligence to sift through its vast database of over five lakh courses, to help them find the right fit based on their interest and aptitude. After the course selection, students can build their profiles, shortlist universities, and get one-on-one counselling-- all under one roof.Its other features include, 'Azent Connect'-- a university portal that helps universities track student applications and profiles during education fairs, and 'Expense Calculator', which helps them estimate the costs of studying overseas.Before applying, students can also visit Azent's virtual reality-led experience centres in Mumbai (Santacruz and Thane), Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Vadodara, and Vijayawada, where they can take a virtual walk around the campus of a target university and experience what it would be like to study and live there.These centres are also equipped with interactive kiosks to provide further insight to students about overseas education.Further, it also has virtual centres in Vizag, Jaipur, Pune, Surat, Coimbatore, and Bangalore, and two others in New York and Dubai.ScholarshipsIn March, 19-year-old Ayush Patel who lives in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, realised his dream of pursuing an undergraduate degree in civil engineering in the Western Sydney University, Australia with the help of Azent Aspire Scholarship, which covers his full tuition fees."Azent has always been there for me from the beginning. From shortlisting universities to helping me with my SOP to my visa approval. I would recommend Azent to all students who wish to study abroad," he said.Ayush is not alone in that journey, as other such aspirants can also apply for the scholarship, which is awarded based on a student's ambition and not grades. It can cover upto 100 per cent of their tuition fees.Besides, Azent also offers information and assistance on other independent overseas scholarships by hosting several events and connecting students with its counsellors.Put Your Skates OnNow that you can get the right help from Azent to study overseas, here is all you need to know about the UK and Australia universities.Some of the top study programs offered by UK universities include computer science, medicine, law, engineering, nursing, public health and MBA. Australian universities are best known for their courses on agricultural sciences, architecture, biomedical engineering, core engineering, computer science and management.The admission intake followed by the UK universities is between January to February, and from September to October.

Bengaluru: The decision of the BJP top brass to invite leaders from other political parties as a strategy to gain upper hand in the 2023 Assembly elections has upset the loyal party men in Karnataka. Former Rajya Sabha member K.B. Krishnamurthy, former minister S.T. Jayaram's son Ashok Jayaram from Mandya and former IRS officer Lakshmi Ashwin Gowda have also joined the BJP. Both are from the Janata Dal (Secular). The workers are upset that more than a dozen leaders were inducted into the BJP through 'Operation Lotus' in 2019. The party is all set to invite more leaders into its fold from the Congress and JD(S). Many leaders, who have come to the BJP, had openly criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi and their videos are still available on social media platforms. The BJP loyalists are expressing their helplessness saying that they will have to work for them also. The move for the inclusion of Pramod Madhwaraj, a powerful leader from coastal Karnataka, is described as a blow to the Congress and the party workers are upset, according to sources. The inclusion of the Legislative Council Chairman Basavaraj Horatti has already triggered a war of words among the BJP leaders of north Karnataka. The party workers are questioning the leaders that, if leaders from outside are preferred, why they should put in efforts for party ideologies and take risks. The party workers are ridiculing the move by saying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi didn't mean by Congress Mukt Bharat that BJP started inviting the Congress leaders into the party at the cost of loyalists. However, party sources claimed that it is necessary to achieve a majority in the Assembly elections as the BJP till date has failed to attain a simple majority in the General Assembly elections till date. ### Response: | BJP loyalists upset over decision to welcome leaders from other parties | 830,847 |

In an urgent press briefing on Wednesday afternoon, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray declared that the agitation for the removal of illegal loudspeakers will continue. Raj Thackeray shared Balasaheb Thackeray's video in which he called for the removal of loudspeakers from mosques. Reacting to the clip shared by MNS leader Raj Thackeray, Maharashtra BJP leader Ram Kadam said that Shiv Sena has completely abandoned the legacy of Balasaheb Thackeray. In a tweet, Maharashtra BJP leader Ram Kadam said, "Shivsena has compromised ideology and legacy of late Balasaheb. They are blinded by power and abandoned Hindutva." Mumbai local train passengers recite Hanuman Chalisa amid Raj Thackeray's ultimatum Maharashtra BJP leader Ram Kadam spoke to Republic Media Network and said, "We do not support any violence and vandalism. Nobody is supposed to take the law into his hands. If the court has given a verdict to remove loudspeakers from mosques in Maharashtra, the Shiv Sena government in Maharashtra should adhere to the orders." Loudspeaker row: On ultimatum day, Raj Thackeray asserts 'Aandolan will continue' "The Uttar Pradesh government led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath removed thousands of loudspeakers in a week then why not the Maharashtra government. Raj Thackeray has raised these issues now, the same issues were raised by Maharashtra Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Mangal Prabhat Lodha and several other MLAs who met the Honorable Police commissioner Rajnish Seth," BJP leader Ram Kadam stated. Ram Kadam further stated, "We are not against any religion, we respect each and every religion. Uttar Pradesh has established an exemplary example. The Maharashtra government is not coming forward to address the issue. They should talk with all top religious leaders and file on a peaceful solution to the issue." Raj Thackeray questions Maha govt over MNS workers' detention; 'Focus on illegal speakers' When asked about the Supreme Court's order asking the Maharashtra government to release the local body election within two weeks, BJP leader Ram Kadam said, "Shiv Sena is blinded by power and has totally abandoned Hindutva. They have an alliance with the Congress party and NCP. They have forgotten the ground rules of Balasaheb Thackeray. Shiv Sena has been using power to shut down the voices of people who are against the government or who raise certain issues which are not in compliance with the government. This order might direct their path in the right direction." Raj Thackeray's Ultimatum In his May 1 rally, the MNS chief gave an ultimatum to the Uddhav Thackeray-led administration to remove loudspeakers from mosques by May 4, failing which, he warned that Hanuman Chalisa will be played at double volume in front of such places of worship. The police swung into action and detained over 250 MNS workers across the state. Moreover, the Mumbai Police has also issued a notice to Raj Thackeray under Section 149 of the CrPC which empowers the police to intervene in order to prevent a cognisable offence. Meanwhile, NCP supremo Sharad Pawar chaired a meeting of MVA leaders amid the loudspeaker row.

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Modern humanity could not exist without biotechnology. The fact is that we all eat genetically-engineered foods. It's just the reality of modern life. There may be a very small number of people that have been 100% organic for their entire life, but I'm willing to bet that most have eaten soy products, wheat products and corn that have been genetically engineered. These staple foods are mass-produced globally, and it feeds us. For some time, a majority of innovation has been focused on the development of pest, infection and drought-resistant crops. Despite these efforts, headlines were made this year by Copenhagen-based TheWorldCounts, a group of scientists who have calculated that the world will run out of food in a little more than 27 years. The fact that there is a growing supply and demand problem for feeding the planet isn't new, but it wasn't until recently that consumers started to understand the scope of the problem. We have a meat problem Currently, 52 billion pounds of meat and 200 billion pounds of milk are produced per year in the U.S. alone. Globally, food production is the source of 25% of the greenhouse gas emissions on our planet, and it takes up 50% of Earth's habitable surface area. Meat and dairy specifically account for around 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to the UN's Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO). As a meat-dominant western diet becomes more popular around the world, it is clear that our planet cannot sustain the needs of its 8 billion inhabitants with animal-based foods. The truth is, animal agriculture has become a sunset industry. The dairy industry is starting to go bankrupt because these low margin products are expensive - and inefficient - to produce. Razor thin margins are already being eaten by plant-based milks, and it's only going to increase now that we have recombinant protein products that are taking market share. Eventually, we'll have a full-on bio-identical replacement of milk that will be made by cell-based milk companies. Everything that nature can create is built by biology. I view biology as next-generation, sustainable bio-manufacturing: Everything from the food that we eat, to the clothing that we wear, to the construction materials that we build with, all the way through to the medicines that we take, and eventually, the organs that get replaced in our bodies as they fail. In fact, the Schmidt Futures, a philanthropic initiative founded by billionaire and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, predicts in their recent Bioeconomy report that the value of the future global bioeconomy will be worth $4 trillion to $30 trillion dollars. Do we really want to use biotechnology for food? Biotechnology is enabling us to change the way we make food and is the reason we can feed billions of people. Take cheese, for example. For over a century, humans mass-produced cheese using the stomach linings of baby cows, called rennet. It was only about 20 years ago that genetic engineers at Pfizer (yes, that Pfizer) gave us vegetarian cheese when they figured out how to isolate the rennet gene, insert this gene into either bacteria or yeast and simply brew it, producing recombinant chymosin, or fermentation-produced chymosin (FPC). Then they could just add FPC into milk, and voilà - you've made cheese incredibly efficiently, and without contributing to horrible pollution and inhumane conditions for the animals. Today, FPC is considered a miracle of biotechnology. It makes up the vast majority of cheese consumed in North America and Europe, and it paved the way for a colossal disruption of the meat and dairy industry. Who is dominating the food startup industry using biotech? With some hugely successful pioneers in the biotech food space, like Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods, it's time that we recognize how biotechnology is already feeding us, and reward food startups that are leaning into it. Pay attention to recombinant foods. For example, Perfect Day is a recombinant food company that's making ice cream using real whey protein - but it's made efficiently, sustainably and without the cow, using biotechnology. If you look at the space, there are companies diving into the world of biotechnology with the same mission in mind: find solutions to today's climate, health and sustainability challenges. These companies all see not only the value in this journey but also know it's critical for our planet and its inhabitants. What about jobs? Humans are really good at creating jobs. There will be a million new jobs with the expansion of biotechnology. We need technicians to run the cell-based meat farms, software experts, robotics experts, people to move product, product testers, evaluators and much more beyond just the bio-manufacturing of food. The bottom line is that biotechnology makes modern-day farming possible. Farmers are getting much more technologically savvy, and the ones who aren't will have to adapt. We have only just begun to learn how to read and write in the "Book of Life," but as we do, we further continue guide our own destiny and elevate the human species beyond the famines and illnesses of the past and towards the stars where we belong, while sparing our precious planet and the our fellow earthlings we occupy it with. Onwards and upwards we go, my friends! Entrepreneur Editors' Picks ### Response: | The Future of Food: How Biotech Will Save Us All | 1,009,600 |

Ahmedabad: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday questioned the "silence" of Opposition parties, including the Congress and SP, on the video survey of the Gyanvapi Masjid complex in Varanasi, alleging that they are keeping mum because Muslims are not their vote bank. Owaisi said the Constitution allows Muslims to follow their culture and identity and "we would continue to do so, both at home and outside". "Why Opposition parties like Congress, Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party are silent on the issue of the Gyanvapi mosque? They are not saying anything because Muslims are not their vote bank," the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimen (AIMIM) chief told an Eid Milap programme in Ahmedabad. The Gyanvapi mosque is located close to the iconic Kashi Vishwanath temple. A court had ordered a videography survey of the Gyanvapi Masjid complex on a suit filed jointly by five Hindu women seeking permission for daily prayers before idols on its outer walls. The survey resumed on Saturday following a local court order amid tight security arrangements, officials said. Dubbing BJP, Congress, AAP, and Samajwadi Party "fanatic parties, Owaisi alleged they wanted Muslims to remain Muslims only at home and accept their (the parties) culture when outside. "The Constitution of India allows you to follow your culture, your identity. We will continue to do so, both at home and outside," the Hyderabad MP said. "I am here to tell you, and also to the government, that we have lost one Babri Masjid, but will not lose another mosque. They took away our (Babri) mosque through cunning and by murdering justice, but remember, you will not be able to snatch another mosque," Owaisi said. He said the Gyanvapi masjid has been a mosque and will remain so. Owaisi said the 1991 law, the Places of Worship Act, says that the religious character of a place of worship as it existed on August 15, 1947, will remain unchanged, and those attempting to change its nature and character can be jailed for three years. ### Response: | Why Congress, Samajwadi Party, BSP silent on Gyanvapi Masjid complex survey?: Asaduddin Owaisi | 874,164 |

Chennai Super Kings CEO Kasi Viswanathan on Thursday confirmed that England all-rounder Moeen Ali has secured his India visa and will be available for selection for CSK's second game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Though the England player is arriving in Mumbai on Thursday, the defending champions will miss the services of Moeen for Saturday's IPL-15 opener against Kolkata Knight Riders, as he will have to complete a three-day quarantine before joining the team. "Moeen has got his visa and is landing in Mumbai in the afternoon. He will be available for the second game after completing a three-day quarantine," Viswanathan was quoted as saying by news agency PTI. There was a delay in procuring the visa as a set procedure is followed for players of Pakistani descent. Moeen's grandfather migrated to England from Pakistan Occupied Kashmir but Moeen was born in England and is a frequent visitor to India. Four-time IPL champions CSK will take on last edition's runner-up side KKR in the opening match of this year's tournament at the Wankhede Stadium. CSK are scheduled to play Lucknow Super Giants in their second match on March 31. Because of his fine all-round show which helped the team lift its fourth IPL title, Moeen was retained by CSK along side inspirational captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja and Ruturaj Gaikwad. Moeen scored 357 runs from 15 innings for CSK in the IPL last year, while also taking six wickets from 15 games with his off-spin bowling.

Meerut, June 19: Like diesel and petrol vehicles, now electric vehicles will also be able to cover long distances, thanks to the invention of two students of Meerut Institute of Engineering and Technology (MIET). With the innovation of the Wireless Electric Vehicles Charging System by Sagar Kumar and Rohit Rajbhar, the electric vehicles will get charged while driving. Type-C Charger for All! US Lawmakers Push for Universal Chargers for Smartphones and Other Portable Electronic Devices to Cut E-waste They said that electric vehicles are running on the roads to save the environment but due to the limited number of charging points, the vehicles cannot cover long distances. People face many problems due to this. Sagar said that for this system, towers will be erected on the roadside and a receiver will be placed in the car. As soon as the car will come in the range of the tower, the car battery will start getting charged. Though the range of the receiver is too less but work is on to enhance its speed. It is just like a wireless mobile charger. The proposal has been sent to NITI Aayog, which has provided financial aid of Rs 20,000. "We had thought of the idea of Wireless Electric Vehicles Charging System long ago but were facing difficulties as we were not getting help from any quarter," Rohit said. "But when we contacted Atal Community Innovation Centre, our project got selected and we got funds and a lab for making a prototype, due to which the work is being carried out with ease," Rohit added. MIET vice-chairman Puneet Agarwal said: "Our college (in Meerut district of Uttar Pradesh) houses the Atal Community Innovation Centre, where students can innovate. We try to extend all possible help for their ideas." Senior scientist from the Regional Science and Technology Centre, Mahadev Pandey said this technique works on an electromagnetic force system. A very good innovation has been made in the public interest, he added. This technique can be a partner in the development of the country, provided its range is enhanced, he said. ### Response: | Can Electric Vehicles Be Charged Like Mobiles?

By Martin Joseph Express News Service KOCHI: Arguably, the biggest story of the recently shut transfer window was the departure of Lionel Messi from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain. But there was another phenomenon rarely witnessed in football industry that largely went unnoticed amidst the drama surrounding one of the sport's global superstars. The Argentine legend who was the face of Barcelona for close to two decades ended up leaving on a free transfer as the Spanish giants lost their greatest ever player due to a financial crisis of their own making. Much of the narrative since then has been about how the La Liga has lost its last big superstar after the likes of Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo left the league in previous seasons. However, the news of a few senior players at Barcelona taking pay cuts from their lucrative contracts in order to register new players and help steady the club after Messi's departure has gone against most recent trends in the transfer business. And Fernando Morientes, who has worn the jersey of Barcelona's eternal rivals Real Madrid, is in admiration of the gesture made by players like Gerard Piqué, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. Their decision allowed the club to register the likes of Memphis Depay, Eric Garcia and Sergio Aguero for the new season. "We should applaud these players because talking about players like Jordi Alba and Pique, they have been at Barcelona for many years. And they feel that Barcelona is really their club and it's a way that they can help their club," said the La Liga ambassador during a virtual media interaction on Tuesday. The former striker, who has played for major clubs like Madrid and Liverpool, admitted that it was indeed an unusual sight in football. "They didn't have to accept this. They've got contracts they signed. But they saw that Barcelona was having very important financial difficulties following the economic management of the club in recent years and this meant that Messi was not able to stay. And they've had to make financial efforts to reduce their salary. They didn't have to do that as contracts are there to be fulfilled right through to the end. These are the ones (players) that fans would see as part of their club," he said. Morientes played for the Madrid club at a time when the club shifted to a policy of signing high profile players at record fees and became popularly known as the Galacticos. The likes of Ronaldo, Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane were all signed during Morientes' playing days. The club kept flexing their muscles in the following years with the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale. However, in recent seasons, they have shifted to a policy of signing young players like Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo as the Los Blancos have also been navigating financial difficulties. There was an ambitious €180m bid for Kylian Mbappé which was turned down by PSG but most signings have been low key and player sales have captured headlines. "It is difficult to compete with the so-called state-run clubs like PSG. But it's true that it has become difficult for everyone, particularly after the pandemic. And I believe the clubs had problems generating income particularly with fans not being able to go to stadiums. The positive thing is that in recent years, La Liga is working very very well and positively in terms of maintaining economic controls to ensure that clubs don't go into debt and clubs are able to maintain a healthy financial situation and adapt," said the former Spain international.

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will visit New Delhi on April 29 to participate in a conference titled 'Chief Ministers-Chief Justices' conference on Judiciary', which is to be held on April 30. During her last visit to the national capital in November last year, the chief minister had called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. There is speculation in the state's political circles that she might seek a fresh appointment with the PM this time as well. The prime minister is scheduled to inaugurate the conference on April 30 and also address the inaugural session. Speaking to The Indian Express, a senior member of the state Cabinet said the CM might again raise the GST and MGNREGA funds, which she claims, are yet to be released by the Central government. 'The chief minister will try to seek an appointment with the prime minister during her Delhi visit. She is likely to demand release of the GST and MGNREGA funds from the Central government. She had raised the same demand during her last meeting with the PM in Delhi. The dues are in excess of Rs 92,000 crores,' the minister said. During her last visit to the national capital in November, the chief minister had urged the PM to inaugurate the Bengal Global Business Summit - 2022. However, the PM could not make it to the event and it was thrown open by West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar instead. The CM's latest visit to Delhi assumes further significance as it comes at a time when a number of rulings by the Calcutta High Court have gone against her government. The HC had assigned a raft of cases — the Bogtui killings in Birbhum district, murder of Congress councillor Tapan Kandu in Purulia district and the alleged gangrape of a minor girl in Nadia — to the CBI. The state has challenged the HC single bench order, assigning the Tapan Kandu murder case to the CBI, at the division bench. Taking up several cases of alleged irregularities in recruitment of Group-D staff through the School Service Commission (SSC), a single bench had ordered a CBI inquiry. However, the division bench later stayed the single-bench order. There are speculations that the CM might harp on the recent court rulings at the conference. Addressing a press conference a month ago, Banerjee had said, 'Democratic space is shrinking in India and it has also impacted the judicial system in the country. This is not desirable.' ### Response: | CM Mamata Banerjee may meet Modi again on Delhi visit, raise central 'dues' | 636,218 |

As India prepares for the third wave of the new coronavirus, researchers are warning of a 'Super Variant' of the SARS CoV-2 that could emerge as COVID-22 in 2022, and that unvaccinated person could be potential super spreaders.Read all the latest updates on COVID-19 here. According to The Sun, Professor Sai Reddy, an immunologist in Zurich, believes that the current strain mix could result in a new and more severe outbreak. COVID-22 was "inevitable," according to Reddy because the coronavirus is very likely to combine to form a deadlier strain, particularly with Delta, Beta, and Gamma variations. "COVID-19 could be far worse than what we're seeing right now," he said. As a result, as the fight against coronavirus continues, more than one vaccination will be required in the future. He cautioned that vaccinations and booster shots will be required 'perhaps for the rest of our lives.' He warned that the world could not rely only on immunization. "COVID-22 could deteriorate further than we are now witnessing. We must be prepared for more than one immunization in the coming years, as the vaccine is continually responding to new types "The Sun cited him as saying. He insisted that the world be prepared since the COVID-22 variant has the potential to be a major threat. "If such a variant occurs, we must identify it as soon as feasible, and vaccine manufacturers must adjust the vaccine as soon as possible. The advent of this new variety poses a significant concern "Reddy asserted.

Follow us on Image Source : PTI 'Anti-India' Congress obvious choice for Kanhaiya Kumar, says Gaurav Bhatia BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia on Tuesday said that the 'anti-India' Congress was an obvious choice for Kanhaiya Kumar whose ideology matches theirs. Commenting on the former Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student leader Kanhaiya Kumar joining the Congress on Tuesday, Bhatia said, "Congress is the natural first choice of any person, be it Kanhaiya Kumar or anyone else, with an anti-India ideology. The reason is simple: today, the Congress party, its leadership and ideology are synonyms with anti-India politics." "Thus, Congress welcomes leaders like him who are known to support those who chant the slogan of 'Bharat tere Tukre honge', and also extends support to those who support terrorist like Afzal Guru," he added. Quoting Kumar's statement about the men of the Indian Army raping the women in Kashmir, Bhatia said, "It hurts the sentiments of Indians. Every Indian is proud of the Army for the supreme sacrifices they make for the integrity and unity of the country. When a leader makes such a derogatory remark, there is only one place where he seeks refuge--the Indian National Congress." Further, commenting on Navjot Singh Sidhu's resignation from the post of Punjab Congress chief, Bhatia said, "Sidhu is like an unguided missile of Pakistan which doesn't know which direction to head to or its destination. Sidhu is as confused as its leader Rahul Gandhi." Questioning Sidhu's reason mentioned in his resignation letter, Bhatia said, "Sidhu's resignation says that he cannot compromise with the future of Punjab, which means the Congress party and its government in Punjab have been playing with the future of people of Punjab for the last four and a half years." "Where have the compromises been made? The Congress leadership has maintained a deafening silence. No action has been taken for improving governance in Punjab," he added. The collapse of a man's character stems from the compromise corner, I can never compromise on Punjab's future and the agenda for the welfare of Punjab. Therefore, I hereby resign as the President of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee. Will continue to serve the Congress," Sidhu had said in his letter after resigning. Bhatia also raised concern over former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh's comment on Sidhu and said, "When Captain made it clear that Sidhu is a threat to the national security of our country, that he has a close link with the leadership of Pakistan...what action has the Congress party taken on such serious statements? The answer is none!"

Los Angeles: Actor Sacha Baron Cohen has said that he won't be returning to play his fan-favourite role of Borat in future movies. Cohen first portrayed Borat Sagdiyev, a gangly, gray-suited journalist working for Kazakhstan's state-run TV network, in the 2006 movie 'Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan'. He recently came out with its sequel 'Borat Subsequent Moviefilm', which was released on streamer Amazon Prime Video ahead of the US presidential election in November. During a profile interview with Variety, Cohen said he made 'Borat 2' because he 'felt democracy was in peril' due to Donald Trump's presidency. 'I felt democracy was in peril, I felt people's lives were in peril and I felt compelled to finish the movie. The movie was originally about the danger of Trump and Trumpism. 'What coronavirus demonstrated was that there's a lethal effect to his spreading of lies and conspiracy theories. I don't want to egotistically imply that people would watch Borat and not vote for Trump, but that was the aim,' Cohen said. With Joe Biden set to become the next US President after he won 306 Electoral College votes against Trump, who only managed 232, Cohen said it is time for him to say goodbye to Borat. 'I brought Borat out because of Trump. There was a purpose to this movie, and I don't really see the purpose to doing it again.

Hyderabad: At least three pilgrims were injured when tokens were being issued to devotees for free darshan of Lord Venkateshwara atop Tirumala Hills in Andhra Pradesh on Tuesday.Read all the latest updates on COVID-19 here. Thousands of devotees assembled at three counters, where the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) had made arrangements for the tokens for the first time since March 2020 when the lockdown to check the Covid-19 pandemic was imposed. Amid a rush of pilgrims, the authorities stopped issuing the tokens two days ago. But on Tuesday, when the token system resumed, thousands of pilgrims thronged the three counters resulting in a near stampede situation. Police and TTD security personnel had a tough time controlling the surging crowds. In the melee, three pilgrims received bruises and suffered suffocation. They were rushed to a hospital, where they are declared out of danger. Thalari Ravi Kumar, TTD's public relations officer, said the crowds swelling beyond control and they decided to do away with the tokens and allow pilgrims directly for darshan. "The situation is normal now." Kumar said TTD also suspended the darshan meant for VVIPs during the select hours in the morning for the next five days. He appealed to the devotees to come prepared for queues amid a heavy rush. A pilgrim said there was no drinking water and food for pilgrims queuing up. "We should be allowed to climb up the hills at least so that we can get our heads tonsured before we get the opportunity for darshan." Former Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu expressed anguish over the hardships being faced by pilgrims. "How can the TTD remain so indifferent when thousands of pilgrims including women and children were waiting for hours together under the scorching sun? The authorities seem to be more interested in making money from the pilgrims than providing them basic facilities like drinking water and food." He asked TTD to apologise to the people and extend all facilities. Srinivasa Rao is Senior Assistant Editor based out of Hyderabad covering developments in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana .

The Maharashtra unit of BJP slammed the Uddhav Thackeray-led government for refusing to allow fully vaccinated individuals to travel in local trains in Mumbai. Accusing the state government of being insensitive, BJP leader Ram Kadam said the government had consistently failed to listen to the real grievances of citizens affected due to Covid-19. "The Covid-19 cases are under control in Maharashtra, and people are now requesting authorisation to travel in local trains. Many people need to commute to Mumbai for work, but the journey takes them 2-3 hours. Those who have received vaccines have demanded that they be permitted to travel in local trains," Ram Kadam said.Read all the latest updates on COVID-19 here. "This [state] government is deafeningly silent. Many people have been fired from their jobs as they were unable to show up for work. People must work in order to provide for their families. We once again urge that those who have been vaccinated be given the permission to travel by trains," Ram Kadam said. The Maharashtra Covid task force met Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on July 29. However, no decision was made on whether vaccinated citizens would be allowed to travel in local trains. A member of the state Covid-19 working team pointed at the rising number of Delta variant cases, saying that circumstances were still not conducive for travel relaxations. Two more cases of Delta Plus variant have been discovered in Mumbai, taking the overall number of cases in the city to three and the state total to 23. The Central government has designated the Delta Plus variant as a variant of concern. Is India on the edge? Maharashtra Covid task force member Dr Shashank Joshi on Thursday expressed his concerns about the Delta variant. Taking to Twitter, Dr Shashank Joshi said, "India on the edge: India is almost out of the second wave with exceptions of Kerala, Maharashtra and few states, including Northeast. Unfortunately, active Delta virus is still in circulation waiting for unexposed population. Only hope is responsible behaviour and aggressive vaccine." This comes on the heels of Maharashtra reporting 7,242 new Covid-19 cases and 190 deaths in 24 hours. Mumbai accounted for 340 of the new cases and 13 deaths in the state.

Chief Minister Eknath Shinde just stopped short of revealing all secrets of what he called a ‘revolt’, not ‘rebellion’, after winning the confidence vote with 164 against 99 in the Assembly on Monday. The Shiv Sena faction leader, who decamped with 40 party MLAs and 10 independents to topple the Uddhav Thackeray government, minced no words while telling the house the reasons behind his ‘historic’ move. Since 2019 Shinde said it was decided he would be the CM after the MVA was formed in 2019, but the party leadership had said he was not acceptable to the allies. “Ajit Pawar told me later that his party was not opposed to my candidature because it was the Sena’s internal call. But we were told that the NCP did not want me for the post,” the CM said. Speaking about the events in 2019, he said the BJP had agreed to give Sena deputy CM’s post but the party rejected the offer. He narrated how Sena MLAs were disappointed with the Maha Vikas Aghadi and feared extinction of the Sena in the hands of the allies, unchecked by the Sena leadership which had departed from the late Balasaheb Thackeray`s Hindutva ideology. The shift “It is rare that ministers and elected MLAs have shifted. Usually, people who are not in power get attracted to the people in government, but this time around it was something else. It was for Hindutva ideology that the people gave us the mandate in 2019. I am proud of my 50 MLAs who risked everything against the then mighty government and the machinery at their disposal,” he said. Shinde said, “I told my colleagues that I will protect them and their careers. I was ready to be a sole martyr in the fight. I told them I will lay my life for them. There was no coming back.” He also slammed the Uddhav Thackeray Sena for abusing them, removing them from the party and other positions. Recalling the sacrifices he made for the party, he said, “Despite all that, they were out to destroy me.” One more MLA Santosh Bangar joined the Sena group hours before the floor test, taking the number to 40. “Bangar told me that of the 15 left there, four to five are willing to come over to our side.” He added that his MLAs had not betrayed the Sena because they did not cross vote in the Rajya Sabha and Council polls. ‘Uddhav didn’t listen’ Shinde said he had approached the then CM Thackeray at least five times about the unrest brewing in the ranks. “We couldn’t speak against the parties that spoke against (Vinayak) Savarkar and couldn’t demand action against the people who had links with Dawood Ibrahim. We couldn’t ask for renaming Aurangabad and Osmanabad, which happened only after we revolted,” he said. “How could we sit with the Congress that had asked for disenfranchising Balasaheb Thackeray? It (revolt) is not a one-day event. It has been brewing for a long time,” he said. His colleague Gulabrao Patil said he had gone to their party chief Thackeray to request him to talk with Shinde. “But I was bluntly told I was free to go if I wanted. This was the attitude. Can’t you value MLAs and ministers? We were never asked to return. The coterie around our leadership has brought the party to such a stage.” BJP support and future plan Shinde said he had the full support of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP national president JP Nadda. “But I must also thank the real artist behind all this, Devendra Fadnavis,” he said as he went on to reveal how the two would meet. “I would go out after my colleagues were sleeping and return before they woke up.” He vowed to win more than 200 seats next time, together with the BJP. “Who says the MLAs who shift sides don’t win again? We have not quit the Shiv Sena. We don’t care what election symbol we get, but I will ensure that all my 50 MLAs return to the house. I, along with Fadnavis, will ensure that we all get 200 seats in the next polls.” ‘Uddhav camp to face action’ Shinde said the 15 MLAs who voted against his whip were liable for action (disqualification). In a surprise move, the Shinde Sena-BJP moved a confidence motion to support newly elected speaker Rahul Narwekar on Monday and passed it. Fadnavis said, “The MVA moved a no-confidence motion against the speaker to stall the disqualification proceedings as the speaker cannot decide on petitions if he faces a no-confidence notice. It was the MVA’s plot which we defeated.” Uddhav Sena firm The group led by Uddhav Thackeray said they would be pressing for disqualification of 40 MLAs who have violated their whip. The party moved the Supreme Court on Monday, but was told that the matter would be heard on July 11. Earlier, the speaker had approved Shinde as a leader of the Sena legislative party and Bharat Gogawale as chief whip, displacing Ajay Chaudhari and Sunil Prabhu of the Uddhav group. 164No. of votes Shinde-Fadnavis got during the trust vote Congress MLAs miss voting Cong MLAs at Assembly lobby Nine Congress MLAs could not vote as they arrived after the doors to the house were shut. MLA Zeeshan Siddique said the doors closed couple of minutes before they could enter. “We requested the speaker to allow us because the voting had not begun, but were denied entry.” Ex-CM Ashok Chavan, however, denied any political angle to the development. “The fact is that we arrived late.” To cut VAT on fuel CM Eknath Shinde announced that the government will reduce VAT on fuel to give relief to the people. “The previous government did not do it even after the PM’s appeal. We will do it by formally taking a decision at the Cabinet meeting,” he said. ### Response: | Maha CM Eknath Shinde wins confidence vote, says was denied top posts in 2019 | 46,904 |

When the first modern Olympics were held in Athens in 1896, Thomas Burke won the 100m gold medal with a time of 12 seconds. The tight curves of the track didn't make things easy for the competitors with very few world records set at the event. Burke was the only athlete to use the "crouch start" (putting his knee on the soil) maneouver, which confused the jury. Eventually, the start was allowed and accept while being labelled as an "uncomfortable position". At the same Games, he won a gold medal in the 400m event as well despite a depleted field.Sprint racing has come a long way since then. That was the only 12-second time at an Olympics in men's 100m. The timings were reduced to 11-second range from the next Games on. In 1908, they dropped to the 10-second mark. In 1968, Jim Hines won gold with 9.95 seconds - the first sub-10 second mark. Usain Bolt shattered the previous records at the Beijing Olympics first (9.69 seconds) and London Olympics next (9.63 seconds) and this is still not the quickest in the 100m race.In this 120-year history of the Olympic Games, the time in 100m has only gone down by 2.37 seconds despite the improvement in track quality, nutrition, shoe technology.Such is the speed of Bolt that he would leave the rest of the Olympic gold medallists behind. If they were to race together at the 2012 London Olympics, Bolt would have crossed the finish line with Justin Gatlin 2.23 meters behind, Hines 3.22 meters behind, and Burke, the first 100m gold medallist, 19.75 meters behind.Among the women, the progress in timings has been even smaller. When Betty Robinson won the first women's Olympic gold in 100m at the 1928 Games, she posted a time of 12.2 seconds. In 1988, Florence Griffith Joyner set the quickest time of 10.54 seconds but it came at a time when the wind speed was 3m/s. At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Elaine Thompson of Jamaica clocked 10.71 seconds.So, in 88 years, women's timings have only gone down by 1.66 seconds.

In a connected world, they are the information superhighways. Drawn from a diverse population but bound by shared interests, they wield a lot of influence that is only expected to grow as time goes by. A "community" is an invisible connection that binds us. It is in these communities the future of brands and their success lies. From spreading awareness about cryptocurrencies in small-town India to picking the right make-up, businesses are increasingly relying on them to improve products and messaging.Read all the latest updates on COVID-19 here. As we research into individual (creator) communities or larger (brand) communities, we realise that these communities foster bonds, their impact is deep-rooted and most importantly, they watch out for each other. These communities have taken different forms and in this piece, we talk about how companies are envisioning the future of their communities. From 'audience' to 'community' Pawan Rochwani leads Community and Partnerships at Pepper Content, a content marketplace platform. He joined the company in February 2021 and has grown the community to include 50,000 freelancers, writers, translators and designers. He believes monetising communities will become a growing trend. Close Every brand will aim to convert its "audience" into a strong community, which is more cult-like and highly engaged with the brand. Every brand-direct-to-consumer (D2C) or otherwise-will have community at the heart of its strategy and will hire community managers to support the customer experience journey, which has to be drawn up right from the day a company designs its product. "We don't believe any consumer business, specifically consumer fintech businesses, can run without a deeply thought out community strategy," says Hena Mehta, cofounder of Basis, a financial services startup for women. Financial services are a business of trust and communities help build that. "We work with corporates, other women-communities and women-centric content platforms to grow our engaged communities," she says. The Basis app, which houses its community, financial education modules, curated financial products and more, has been installed more than 1 lakh times. Its community grew more than 15 times in 2020. Also read: Creators and the power of internet communities Decentralisation of influence In September 2020, India-based cryptocurrency exchange WazirX put out a form asking its audience to be "WazirX Warriors". It received hundreds of applications but shortlisted 15 based on values alignment. Through these Warriors, WazirX is looking to create an army of creators who can educate people in tier 2 and 3 cities about cryptocurrencies. These days, WazirX Warriors, more than 400 of them, reside in a private Telegram group. They are a "super-community" with access to the WaxirX team and can contribute to its prestigious blog. They are given crypto rewards for the content they post, provided it is "purely educational". These Warriors have 1,000-10,000 followers on YouTube and WazirX aims to decentralise influence by going with smaller creators who have more influence and also create many more such "veterans". According to PareenLathia, AVP Marketing, WaxirX, "Most brands go after large influencers, however, our approach is different. We want to create creators and build a 'super community' who believe in our mission just like we do. Eventually, we want to rely on them to spread crypto awareness in their own circles." Rise of the 'participative economy' Eloelo is building India's first creator-led live social-gaming platform. They have had a million downloads in about nine months, a 70 percent non-metro audience and over 50 percent of the creators are females. A large part of their effort in building community is based on live streaming and real-time comments, games and interactions. The most popular are Tumbola, ChidiyaUd and the recently added Tota Pundit, an astrology-based game. "We are noticing an interesting trend around in-app gifting (not monetary but the likes of a Taj Mahal [replica], Paan or Nazar Na Lage totems), where the audience wants to gift and engage with their favourite creators. We believe that like in China, this trend will deepen and will include coins and real currency as the gaming market in India matures," Eloelo co-founder and CEO Saurabh Pandey says. Eloelo is also betting big on "participative economy" opening up private live-gaming rooms for creators who want to engage with a select audience, for instance, their Instagram followers. While this was not on the roadmap, feedback from creators got the company to include this feature on the app. Salone Sehgal, General Partner, Lumikai, says the genesis of gaming is community-driven. The bedrock of every engaging consumer technology experience finds its genesis in gaming. "The loop of positive feedback, simulation of social connectivity and culture of collaboration that has made social media apps so irresistible are all game mechanics in disguise," says Sehgal. "Take for example features on apps like Facebook or Instagram like badges, tipping, gifting or likes- all find their origin from games." In 2020, India recorded about 365 million online gamers and the number is expected to grow to 510 million by 2022, according to Lumikai. Lumikai is betting on this growth and has launched the first India-focused gaming and interactive media fund. Community engagement will replace hefty ATL budgets Direct to customer brands earlier focussed on performance marketing and above the line (ATL) campaigns that constituted roughly 40-50 percent of their marketing budgets. Eventually, many realised that they cannot scale performance marketing beyond a point and that is when the focus shifted to building their communities. Vineeta Singh, Co-founder and CEO of SUGAR Cosmetics, says, "Makeup is about entertainment and education and when we started a digital-first makeup brand, we had to figure out how to replicate offline conversations online. That is when we started studying how women buy makeup and invested in our own content team of 18-20 in-house folks who have built the brand ground-up. We focus on building communities on Instagram and YouTube and work with a lot of micro-influencers." Engagement while working with a community comes when brands are more mindful of the consumer than sales, she says. It is all about adding value to them. SUGAR Cosmetics has 1.6 million followers on Instagram and 100,000 of them were added over the last 30 days. The startup spends around 10-15 percent of its marketing budget on the community. Building a D2C community is all about being patient and creating value, says Singh. Rohit Kamath, Co-founder and Director of India Hemp Organics, an organic medical cannabis and hemp-based health and wellness brand, has something similar to say. Coming from a highly regulated industry with a product that is fraught with misconception and lack of awareness, Kamath says brands have to manufacture for customers and not the other way around. Since their industry is not permitted to advertise, India Hemp created its own communities, where users share their problems and stories. "We are in the business of creating experiences and have resorted to content and the community to create awareness for the brand," says Kamath. India Hemp Organics has a health and wellness centre in Bengaluru, creating strong offline and online touchpoints. They host yoga and wellness sessions for their community members and create conversations, on as well as offline. Community helps build new features Bridgeweave is an AI-based wealth management fintech. During the coronavirus pandemic, it came out InvestorAi, a customer focussed app that uses artificial intelligence to come up with predictive investment ideas. The startup promoted InvestorAi through webinars and built a community of trusted users who downloaded the app. InvestorAi has more than 12,000 users and two WhatsApp groups and a Telegram community where the company gets direct feedback. It has helped the app to evolve, including adding the much-requested "profit-loss alert" feature allowing the user to only track a signal but also be notified if the price moves beyond a range. "I am amazed at the depth and intensity of participation by our communities. They have made us better," Bridgeweave founder Akshaya Bhargava says. He is a part of all the groups and regularly interacts with the customers, adding a personal touch. Similarly, WazirX has also unveiled a "your favourite cryptocurrency" feature on request from its community. It wanted to make the community feel heard, which they did. Communities, however, are still a misunderstood concept and there are some challenges that the people we spoke to shared. Here are some of them: 1 Confusing an audience for community 2 Not thinking of community as a strategy 3 Evolution of the role of the community manager- payments are still low 4 Associating the right KPIs for communities 5 Clubbing community with sales and expecting revenue from community "as-a-channel" This is an evolving space. As time goes by, communities will have an identity of their own and may become even better known than the brand itself.

By PTI JOHANNESBURG: South African medical authorities have warned people against consuming controlled substances and medicines looted during the recent week-long violence and looting, saying the drugs may endanger their health if taken without the supervision of experts. Protests started on July 7 after the imprisonment of former South African president Jacob Zuma, but rapidly devolved into unprecedented massive looting and arson across the country. The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA), Health Professions Council of South Africa, Office of Health Standards Compliance, South African Nursing Council, South African Pharmacy Council, and the Department of Health, in a joint statement, also expressed concerns about the impact of the looting and violence on the country's Covid-19 vaccination programme.Read all the latest updates on COVID-19 here. "We fear that the availability of controlled substances and medicines which have been looted or stolen in the affected communities may endanger the health of community members who may consume these without the supervision and guidance of health care professionals," they stated in the statement. "We would like to urge the public to not utilise any medicines that are not accessed through authorised health care institutions. You may report such illegal activity to SAHPRA or to law enforcement agencies," the statement said. The authorities said the impact of the destruction on public health was already being felt in communities, with members of the community deprived of health care, chronic patients unable to access medicines, and COVID-19 vaccine sites and the vaccines themselves being lost to destruction and looting. Zuma started a 15-month sentence after the country's apex Constitutional Court found him guilty of contempt of court because he refused to return to the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture, where he has been repeatedly accused of involvement in corruption by witnesses. President Cyril Ramaphosa earlier said the actions of the past week were intended to cripple the economy, cause social instability and severely weaken or even dislodge the democratic state. As statutory health councils, in collaboration with the National Department of Health, (we) are working closely to ensure that the provision of health care and essential medicines, including chronic medicines and vaccines, are restored. The authorities also appealed to those who find that the medicines which they have looted are useless to them, to dispose of them in a safe way. A Johannesburg Indian-origin pharmacist, who declined to be identified, said that almost a million rand of stock had been looted by mobs who looted two pharmacies that she co-owned in a Black township, stripping one of them of even the roof, ceilings and counters. "We had some responsible members of the community around one of our pharmacies identifying people who had looted some of our medicines, but by law we cannot restock returned medicines, even if we do find them, because we would not know if they have been tampered with in any way," she said. We are now having to find a way to pay salaries to 22 staff members who have been left destitute to feed their families. "My partners and I are determined to rebuild our pharmacies, but it is going to take quite a while as we address the matter with our insurers," she added. As mop-up plans in looted areas continued on Tuesday, pharmacies and government facilities resumed the vaccination campaign as it has now been extended to the 35-plus cohort, with over a million people registering for vaccination when this started on 15 July. In the first phase, this was open only to those over 60. Some public clinics in Gauteng province will also be vaccinating over weekends to catch up with the backlog. ### Response: | South African authorities warn about medicines and vaccines looted in week of violence | 1,377,959 |

Disgruntled Gujarat Congress leader Hardik Patel quit the party on May 18 and the speculation is that he will join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of state elections later this year. Patel, who had joined the Congress a little over three years ago, was the working president of the Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee. The 28-year-old Patidar leader's <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/politics/hardik-patel-resigns-from-congress-membership-8528711.html" target="_blank">resignation</a> was expected, as he had been publicly criticising the central and state leadership of the Congress for over a month now, saying he was not being allowed to work. <strong>Also read: <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/politics/hardik-patel-resigns-from-congress-membership-8528711.html" target="_blank">Hardik Patel resigns from Congress membership ahead of Gujarat polls</a></strong> Patel, who rose to prominence in 2015 when he spearheaded a powerful agitation for quotas in jobs and education for his Patidar caste, had maintained that he would not quit the Congress until he tweeted his resignation letter on May 18. <strong>Mobiles phones and chicken sandwich</strong> In the one-page letter addressed to Congress president <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/tags/sonia-gandhi.html" target="_blank">Sonia Gandhi</a>, Patel said it had become difficult to stay on in the party when its top leadership lacked the seriousness to fight for issues concerning the people. Top Congress leaders, he wrote, "were distracted by their mobile phones" and the Gujarat Congress was more involved in catering to visiting leaders. "Senior leaders in Gujarat are more interested in ensuring that visiting leaders get their chicken sandwiches than engage with people during <em>yatras</em>," Patel said in the resignation letter. At the same time, he praised the BJP-led Union government, accusing the Congress of only playing a hindering role.

"When it came to issues related to India, Gujarat and my Patidar community-the Congress's only stand was to oppose whatever government of India led by Prime Minister <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/tags/narendra-modi.html" target="_blank">Narendra Modi </a><em>ji</em> did. Congress today has been rejected in almost every state of India because the party and its leadership have not been able to present a basic roadmap to the people," Hardik said in the letter. <strong>Big loss in poll year</strong> Patel's exit is a big loss for the Congress, especially after setbacks in recent assembly elections in five states. Gujarat goes to the polls later this year. The resignation also comes a day after the Congress's three-day brainstorming session "<a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/tags/chintan-shivir.html" target="_blank">Chintan Shivir</a>" in Udaipur that he reportedly skipped. In the session held on May 13-15, the party top brass assembled in the Rajasthan town to deliberate on strategies for the party's revival ahead of the next round of assembly elections and the 2024 general polls. Patel is considered the face of the Patidar community, which has been a staunch supporter of the BJP. He met the community's influential leader Naresh Patel in Gujarat's Saurashtra on May 15 and requested him to take a call regarding joining politics at the earliest. In the 2017 assembly polls, Patel was said to have played a key role in helping the Congress win 77 seats and restrict the BJP to 99 in the 182-member house. Since then, however, the Congress has lost 14 lawmakers to the BJP due defections and defeat in by polls. The Congress currently has 63 legislators in the assembly. <strong>Also read |</strong> <strong><a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/politics/congress-to-field-those-below-50-in-half-of-seats-in-lok-sabha-state-polls-from-2024-to-fix-retirement-age-in-legislatures-8511611.html" rel="dofollow">Congress to field those below 50 in half of seats in Lok Sabha, state polls from 2024; to fix retirement age in legislatures</a></strong> In March 2019, in the run-up to the Lok Sabha election, Patel joined the Congress and was immediately made its working president for Gujarat. The move was expected to help the Congress build its appeal among the state's youth and the Patidars. "When you get newly-emerged revolutionaries to the party and raise their status overnight, this is what is bound to happen. He (Patel) got more than what he deserved in the party and when he saw the party was not doing well, he left. Amid all this, it is the old-timers who can just wait and watch," said a Congress leader. The Congress accused Patel of singing the BJP's tune and said that his resignation letter was "dictated by the BJP". Gujarat Congress leader Shaktisinh Gohil also reminded Patel of his criticism of the BJP in the past. "His tweets and his quotes were always against the BJP. Our leaders who have gone to the BJP have told us that they were given a script to write. Hardik's words are BJP's words and there is no truth in them," Gohil said. Sources said Patel wanted to lead the Congress in Gujarat but the party chose Jagdish Thakor, a party veteran, as the state president in December 2021. Patel's demand that the Congress project him as its chief ministerial face for the upcoming Gujarat election was also turned down, they said. <strong>Also read |<a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/politics/congress-decides-on-key-reforms-to-put-house-in-order-resolves-to-re-establish-lost-connect-with-people-8511431.html" rel="dofollow"> Congress decides on key reforms to put house in order, resolves to re-establish lost connect with people</a></strong> Patel was last seen with Congress leaders on May 10 when former party president Rahul Gandhi during a tribal convention in Dahod praised Jignesh Mevani, another young leader and prominent Dalit activist, and reportedly ignored Patel which, many said, upset him even more. A Congress leader who did not want to be named said that Congress has found an alternative in Mevani, who won the 2017 election as an independent candidate from Vadgam. Mevani, who shot to fame following his agitation over atrocities against Dalits in Una in 2016, has already said he will contest the next state polls on a Congress ticket. <strong>Next stop : BJP?</strong> Though Patel has not indicated his next move, his resignation letter indicates he might join the BJP. Some reports have suggested he might even join the Aam Aadmi Party, which needs a popular face in Gujarat. The Bhupendra Patel-led BJP government in the state has already moved to have cases registered against Patel in 2015 during the Patidar quota agitation dismissed. On May 9, the <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/ahmedabad-court-allows-govt-to-withdraw-criminal-case-against-hardik-patel/articleshow/91442898.cms">Ahmedabad court allowed the state government</a> to withdraw criminal cases against Patel.

At least one person was killed and over two dozens were injured when tornados hit large areas of south central US states Texas and Oklahoma, authorities said. The stormy weather which on Monday, acquired its destructive path on Tuesday moving into Louisiana and Mississippi. A 73-year-old woman was killed in Sherwood Shores, Grayson County, in northern Texas, Sarah Somers, Xinhua news agency reported citing the county's emergency management director, on Tuesday. Somers said 10 more people were transported to local hospitals with injuries. Initial reports said dozens of homes were damaged or destroyed in the area which is just south of Kingston, Marshall County of Oklahoma, on the Texas side of Lake Texoma. Many homes and structures including a Dollar General store in Kingston was also damaged, reported local media. Marshall County emergency management said on Monday night there were no known fatalities, but several people have been taken to local hospitals with injuries. The storm knocked out power in the area, said the reports. The first tornado touched down around 4 p.m. local time (2100 GMT) on Monday in Jacksboro, a city of some 5,000 people in northern Texas, causing damage to an elementary school, a high school, an animal shelter and 60 to 80 homes. The storm left behind a two-mile (3.2 km) wide debris field, said city officials. No students at either Jacksboro school were hurt. Four residents there were injured and rescued from a damaged home, though none of them seriously hurt. The city of Elgin, east of the state's capital Austin, also saw significant damage and some injuries, authorities said. Another tornado was reported in the city of Round Rock, an Austin suburb, with debris in roadways and structural damage to multiple homes and businesses being sighted along the path of tornados. The Weather Channel reported on Monday that an outbreak of severe weather would continue through midweek, and that tornadoes, damaging winds, large hail and flooding rain are all threats. An area from central and eastern Texas to western Louisiana and southwest Arkansas has the highest potential for severe weather through Monday night, said the report. The report said a multiday severe thunderstorm threat is a classic setup for spring, with a potent jet stream disturbance spreading into increasingly humid air over the southern US, which will give rise to widespread rain and thunderstorms across the area. ### Response: | 1 killed, dozens injured after tornadoes hit US states Texas, Oklahoma | 302,243 |

It is well-established that contemporary mainstream Bollywood medieval dramas have little to do with nuanced history - and more with run-of-the-mill tropes.The recipe includes simplistic binaries of good Hindu kings and bad Muslim kings, a heightened sense of patriotism, and in at least two recent movies, strong flavouring of jauhar or self-immolation towards the end whereby women characters opt to die by suicide to safeguard themselves from Islamic invaders, thereby protecting the honour of the kingdom.Akshay Kumar-starrer Samrat Prithviraj is one such film. In fact, if you close your eyes, you might not even notice where Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 2017 mega-scale film Padmaavat ends and Samrat Prithviraj begins.The factual inaccuracies of Samrat Prithviraj can be read and watched here.What causes unease is the painting of the act of jauhar with coats of valour, honour, and sacrifice, almost keeping in with the popular perspective.What is the historical context of the act jauhar - and where do we draw the line between depicting jauhar the way it has been and glamourising it?As 'Samrat Prithviraj' Struggles, Will Akshay Kumar Reinvent Himself Again? Popular Representation of JauharDirector Chandraprakash Dwivedi's film shows the story of the 12th-century Rajput king Prithviraj Chauhan and the Second Battle of Tarain, where he was defeated by Mohammad Ghori of the Ghurid Empire.As per the orders of the Central Board of Film Certification, the film carries a disclaimer saying that it doesn't promote sati or jauhar.But the movie leaves quite an opposite message as the king's royal consort, Maharani Sanyogita, played by Manushi Chhillar, is seen literally dancing towards her death dressed like a warrior with her retinue of women, as news arrives of the Rajput side being ambushed.At this point, fire engulfs the whole screen giving a sense of grandeur to the act of jauhar.What especially seems strange is that one minute the princess is shown to be assertive and arguing for her rights, sitting next to the king in the court, and the next minute the film romanticises Sanyogita's act of suicide with a song and dance sequence.Sanjay Leela Bhanshali's Padmaavat based on a fictional work of Awadhi poet Malik Muhammad Jayasi, too, gave in to such a misplaced sense of glamorisation of jauhar. In the movie, as Alauddin Khilji's army defeats Rajput king Maharawal Ratan Singh, Rani Padmavati voluntarily immolates herself to chants of 'Jai Bhawani' in a dramatic sequence. Again, it is not the act that is concerning, but the matter of its representation."There is a clear choice as to how you want to depict it," says Ruchika Sharma, a history teacher and doctoral scholar of History at Jawaharlal Nehru University.Review: Akshay Kumar's 'Samrat Prithviraj' Is a Tedious Jauhar Was a Rare Practice, Not Limited to Islamic InvasionsUnlike the prosaic binaries of good and bad kings, the trope of jauhar has some basis in history since unarguably women have been spoils of war over ages.Said to be a popular practice among Rajput women, it was performed by royal women of the court in the face of imminent capture or abduction following a military defeat. What is seen attached to the idea of this act is purity of lineage and purity of races."The earliest mentions of jauhar come from the period between 10th and 12th centuries when the several kingdoms that ruled over North India were constantly engaged in wars with each other," says Sharma.Ruchika Sharma"Chauhan is one of the tribes, then in Gujarat there are Chalukya-Solankis. In the Malwas, there are Paramaras, and in Kannauj there are Gahadavalas. All these different tribes would fought a lot between each other and one of the main casualties in these raids were women."However, the idea of Muslims being the sole reason behind jauhar got popularised during the colonial rule, Sharma points out. It is that very perspective of blaming Islamic rulers squarely for jauhar that mainstream movies keep repeating.But unlike how women are shown dancing to their death in Bollywood movies, it was a very tragic choice - between taking one's life and facing abduction or abuse.And yet, it was not as common a practice as it believed to be.Ruchika Sharma"In history, there are rare instances of women practising jauhar and their valourisation is even rarer. It only happens in these fictional accounts like Padmaavat."Perhaps, the rarity of it also indicates how difficult it was to go through with this act unlike its exalted representation in these period dramas. While any depiction of Rajput in mainstream films seem amiss without showing jauhar in the light of Rajput pride, the act itself is believed to be older than the 'Rajput' identity.In his book Sati, the Blessing and the Curse, John S Hawley notes jauhar is a practice that preceded sati. Although the act itself is ancient, Sharma says the valourised depiction of the act came only around the 16th-17th century when the Rajput identity started consolidating.What Is Jauhar and Why Did Rajput Queens Do It?How Films Deviate from Original Stories to Dramatise 'Jauhar'While both movies are technically works of fiction which comes with a creative licence, it's pertinent to note that these movies stray from the very works they are referencing. The purpose of this deviation specifically seems to be aimed at dramatising jauhar as much as possible.To start with, Samrat Prithviraj derives its plot from Chand Bardai's epic poem Prithviraj Raso - one of the primary references around Prithviraj Chauhan."Bardai's epic is also the only work where the character of Sanyogita finds a mention. But a detail that the film twists is the fact that the Rajput queen is not described to having done jauhar anywhere in Prithviraj Raso," Sharma says.Similarly, in Padmaavat, we get to see Khilji running like a madman perhaps hoping to capture the queen while she is preparing to immolate herself. But in Jayasi's work, the jauhar happens when Ratan Sen and the ruler of Kumbhalner, Devpal, die fighting each other.Ruchika Sharma"I think there is a trivialisation of what women actually went through making this massive decision of killing oneself or being abducted. There could only be one way of depicting jauhar as it was - a very difficult choice to make for women."'Bhansali's Padmaavat has Nothing to do With Jayasi's Padmavat' ### Response: | 'Samrat Prithviraj', Like 'Padmaavat', Has a Misplaced Glorification of 'Jauhar' | 1,131,088 |
