On Monday, Elon Musk, who owns the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), said that Ukrainian forces might be behind a major cyberattack that caused the site to go down. A hacking group called Darkstorm claimed they were responsible for taking X offline. In a chat with Fox News, Musk explained, “We don’t know exactly what happened, but there was a huge cyberattack on X coming from IP addresses in Ukraine.”
In a post on X, Musk said, “There is a big cyberattack against X. We get attacked every day, but this one took a lot of resources. It looks like a large team or a nation is involved.”
Many people reported problems using X, including around 2,000 users in India, 18,000 in the US, and 10,000 in the UK. Darkstorm, which supports Palestine and often targets countries that back Israel, said they were behind the attack.
As tensions grew between the US and Ukraine, Musk shared worries about Ukrainian groups that might be working with USAID, and even mentioned that some officials from the Trump administration were being targeted. However, Musk assured that his Starlink communications service would keep running in Ukraine no matter what. “To be clear, even if I disagree with Ukraine’s policies, Starlink will never shut down,” Musk stated.

Bihar BJP MLA Faces Backlash for Controversial Holi Comments
A BJP MLA in Bihar caused a stir recently by suggesting that Muslims should stay indoors during Holi. This comment led to strong pushback from Tejashwi Yadav, the Leader of the Opposition, who called for action against the MLA and urged Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to reprimand him.
Haribhushan Thakur Bachaul, the MLA from Madhubani district, made the controversial remarks while speaking to reporters at the state assembly. He stated, “I want to tell Muslims that there are 52 Fridays in a year. The Friday this week falls on Holi. So, they should allow Hindus to celebrate without taking offense if colors are splashed on them. If they don’t like it, they should stay at home. This is important for keeping peace between communities.”
When questioned about Muslims fasting during Ramadan, Bachaul replied that they have “double standards.” He added, “They love selling colors during Holi, but if a little gets on their clothes, they complain.”
Tejashwi Yadav strongly criticized Bachaul, reminding him that Bihar is not ruled by him alone. Yadav stated, “We need to file an FIR against him for stirring up communal conflict. In Bihar, every Muslim is supported by many Hindus.” He also asked Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to talk to Bachaul about his harmful words.
The state’s minority affairs minister, Zama Khan, assured that there will be no problems during the festival and that officials have been instructed to maintain harmony.

Controversy Erupts Over Gulmarg Fashion Show During Ramadan in Kashmir
Jammu and Kashmir’s Grand Mufti, Nasir-ur-Islam, has strongly criticized a fashion show held in Gulmarg during the holy month of Ramadan. He called it a “cultural invasion” because it featured models in skiwear walking in a way that many found inappropriate. The mufti said, “This is not acceptable. It goes against our traditions and religious values. The government must take legal action against those responsible.”
The fashion show upset many people, including religious leaders and politicians. Jammu and Kashmir’s Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, has ordered an investigation into the event. After the backlash, the designers, Shivan & Narresh, apologized for any hurt caused by their show, saying their intention was to celebrate creativity and skiing culture. They said in a statement, “We respect all cultures and traditions and we are sorry for any discomfort we unintentionally caused.”
Kashmir’s chief priest, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, also called the show “outrageous” on social media. Abdullah agreed, saying the fashion show showed no respect for local feelings, especially during the holy month. He assured that his office is looking into it, and appropriate actions will follow.
Abdullah pointed out that it was a private event that did not have government approval. He emphasized that the organizers did not consider the local feelings or the timing of the event. He said that if laws were broken, the police would investigate further.

Why Was PCB Missing from Champions Trophy Ceremony?
Pakistan’s former cricketer Shoaib Akhtar was surprised when no one from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was present during the Champions Trophy trophy ceremony. The PCB did send its CEO, Sumair Ahmed, to the finals in Dubai, but he was not invited onto the stage. This incident left the PCB very upset.
A source revealed that Sumair Ahmed was there to represent the PCB chairman, Mohsin Naqvi, who couldn’t attend due to other responsibilities. The source suggested it was a misunderstanding because Sumair might not have communicated well with the ICC officials responsible for the ceremony.
The PCB is considering discussing this issue with the ICC, questioning why their CEO was not called to the stage at such an important event.
Former players like Wasim Akram were also surprised by this situation. Akram stated, “It’s unbelievable that no one from the PCB was on stage at the final ceremony. We were the hosts, and it felt odd that no representative was there. Even if they couldn’t give out the trophies or medals, someone should have been present.”
Fans and players alike felt that Pakistan should have had someone on stage, especially since they were co-hosting the tournament, which is a significant event for Pakistan cricket.

Celebrating Ratan Tata: A Visionary Leader’s Kindness and Impact
Ratan Tata was an amazing leader in India and around the world. He was known for being kind, generous, and humble. Noel Tata spoke about how Ratan earned a special award called the Jewel of India after his passing. This award celebrated Ratan’s ability to run the Tata Group with care and respect for the country’s values.
Ratan faced many challenges, but he always did what was right for the Tata Group, helping it grow and succeed. He led the company for over 20 years and died at the age of 86 in October 2024.
Interestingly, Ratan wanted to be an architect when he was younger but found himself leading a big business instead. A magazine called The Economist once said that even though he owned less than 1% of the Tata Group, he was still one of the most powerful businessmen in India and worldwide.
Noel Tata, Ratan’s half-brother, highlighted how Ratan wasn’t just about business. He loved helping people and made a significant impact through the Tata Trusts, a philanthropic organization. Ratan’s kindness and empathy touched many lives.
Noel shared a quote from Leo Tolstoy, saying that true greatness comes from being simple, good, and truthful. Ratan Tata truly embodied these qualities, showing us what we have lost with his passing.
Noel Tata was born in 1956 and is Ratan Tata’s half-brother. He owns a 1% share in Tata Sons and is involved in several Tata companies today. He is also the first Tata family member to work on the boards of both Tata Trusts and Tata Sons since Ratan retired in 2011.
