IIT Madras Unveils World’s Largest Fetal Brain Image Dataset!
The Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) has just released amazing 3D pictures of the fetal brain! This project is led by a professor named Mohanasankar Sivaprakasam at the Sudha Gopalakrishnan Brain Centre. The dataset, called ‘DHARANI,’ is open for all researchers around the world to use.
They took 5,132 brain sections using advanced Brain Mapping Technology created in the Sudha Gopalakrishnan Brain Centre. This research is set to boost the field of Neuroscience and may help in treating brain-related health issues.
Researchers from different countries, including India, Australia, and the U.S., worked together on this project. They collaborated with medical organizations like Mediscan Systems and Saveetha Medical College Hospital based in Chennai.
“DHARANI” has now become the largest digital collection of human fetal brain images that is available to everyone. It was made with much less money than the famous Allen Brain Atlas, and it used unique technology developed in India during the COVID pandemic from 2020 to 2022.
Dr. Suzana Herculano-Houzel, the editor of a neuroscience journal, mentioned that India is now on the same level as the U.S. in mapping the human brain.
This project was supported by organizations like the government of India, Infosys co-founder Kris Gopalakrishnan, and healthcare companies. NVIDIA also helped process the huge amount of data.
Prof. Ajay Kumar Sood, the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, expressed his happiness that India is leading the way in creating human fetal brain maps for the first time.
The high-resolution images are essential for improving fetal imaging techniques. This means we can diagnose and treat developmental disorders earlier.
Kris Gopalakrishnan stated that this achievement proves Indian research can make significant scientific and technological advancements. He hopes this will inspire more collaborative research projects in India.
This study is expected to lead to exciting new discoveries, help understand neurodevelopmental disorders, and improve fetal medicine. With this dataset, knowledge about the fetal brain has increased by 20 times!

Mumbai Court Sentences 3 Bangladeshis to 5 Years for Illegal Entry”
A special court in Mumbai has given three men from Bangladesh a sentence of five years in prison because they entered India illegally and had fake documents. The men, named Mohammed Habibur Rehman Habib, Hannan Anwar Hussain Khan, and Mohd Azarali Subhanallah, were found guilty and each was also fined ₹2,000.
The case started when the Pune Police reported in March 2018 that several Bangladeshi people were living in Pune without proper papers. They were also accused of helping a group linked to the banned terror organization Al Qaida.
After the investigation, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) charged the three men along with two others, Mohd. Ripen Hossain and Mohd. Hassnali Mohd. Amirali, on September 7, 2018. All five men were found guilty and sentenced under Indian laws related to illegal stay and using fake documents.
Earlier in October 2023, the other two men, Mohd. Ripen Hossain and Mohd. Hasan Ali, had also pleaded guilty and were sentenced to five years each.
According to NIA, the three men were convicted for staying in India without permission, using fake documents, and for their involvement in a conspiracy about document forgery.

India Safely Evacuates 75 Citizens from Syria Amid Conflict
On Wednesday, India safely brought home 75 of its citizens from Syria, including 44 pilgrims from Jammu and Kashmir. This happened after rebel forces took control of Damascus, the capital of Syria. The people evacuated were able to cross over to Lebanon and will return to India on commercial flights, as confirmed by the Ministry of External Affairs.
The evacuation was organized by the Indian embassies in Damascus and Beirut. The Indian government acted after assessing the security situation and receiving requests for help from its nationals in Syria. Among those evacuated were 44 “zaireen”, or pilgrims, who were visiting Sayyidah Zaynab, a significant religious site for Shia Muslims, where many go to seek healing.
The Ministry of External Affairs advised any remaining Indian citizens in Syria to stay connected with the Indian embassy in Damascus. They can reach out via an emergency helpline at +963 993385973 (which is also available on WhatsApp) or email at [email protected] for updates.
The Indian government emphasizes the safety of its citizens abroad and will keep a close watch on the situation. Earlier this week, India, along with other nations, called for peace and stability in Syria after opposition forces overthrew President Bashar al-Assad. The rebel group, mainly Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which was previously linked to al-Qaeda, easily entered Damascus and ended over 50 years of Assad’s rule.
Once, Syria had many Indian families, but due to the ongoing civil war, the number has dropped to about 90. This includes 14 Indians working with various United Nations organizations and NGOs.

MP Calls for Impeachment of Allahabad High Court Judge Over Controversial Remarks
Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi, a member of India’s National Conference party and a Lok Sabha MP, announced that he plans to ask for the removal of Allahabad High Court Judge Shekhar Kumar Yadav. This follows Yadav’s comments at a Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) event that many believe were disrespectful to Muslims.
Mehdi says he has the backing of members from several political parties, including the Congress, Samajwadi Party, DMK, and Trinamool Congress. He stated, “I am submitting an impeachment notice based on Article 124(4) of the constitution to remove Judge Shekhar Kumar Yadav due to his offensive remarks.”
At the VHP meeting, Justice Yadav spoke about the Uniform Civil Code, calling it a way to promote peace, gender equality, and secularism. However, videos of his speech, which many found inflammatory, circulated quickly on social media, leading to outcry from opposition politicians. They criticized both his statements and his attendance at the VHP event.
Mehdi expressed that he currently has support from seven members of Parliament but needs a total of 100 signatures to move forward with the impeachment. So far, MPs from different parties have agreed to support him: “More than seven MPs have signed, including Asaduddin Owaisi and various other members. I appreciate their support,” Mehdi said.
He also mentioned that he has talked to other politicians from different parties, who promised to consult their leadership before signing the motion. “I believe they will support this action because they care about the principles and values of our country,” Mehdi added.

Apple Watch Ultra 3 to Feature Satellite Texting and Blood Pressure Monitoring
Apple is working on an exciting new feature for its Apple Watch Ultra 3, which is its most advanced smartwatch. Next year, this watch will be able to send text messages using satellites. This means if you don’t have a cell phone signal or Wi-Fi, you can still send messages to your friends and family!
Apple will partner with a company called Globalstar Inc. to make this happen. If they succeed, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will be the first popular smartwatch that can use satellite technology. Before this, the iPhone 14 had a similar feature that helps users contact emergency services even when they’re off the grid. Last year, Apple added more options so iPhone 14 users could message roadside assistance too. This year, people can even text anyone using iMessage.
Apple has been working closely with Globalstar and recently invested around $1.5 billion in the company, taking a 20% stake in it. As a result, shares of Globalstar went up about 15% after the news got out, while Apple’s stock rose a little less than 1%.
But that’s not all! The Apple Watch Ultra 3 might also have a new blood pressure feature. This will help users check if they have high blood pressure, which is great for hikers and health-focused people. Although this feature was originally expected to launch this year, it now seems it will come out next year instead.
