    Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj Takes Charge as Jathedar of Takht Kesgarh Sahib

    Chandigarh: Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj took charge as the jathedar (leader) of Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib at Anandpur Sahib in Punjab’s Rupnagar district on Monday. This important ceremony was attended by the ‘Panj Piaras’, a group of five beloved Sikhs. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) had previously announced Kuldeep Singh Gargaj’s appointment on March 7, and he will also act as the jathedar of the Akal Takht in Amritsar, the top authority for Sikhs.

    The SGPC decided to remove Giani Raghbir Singh from Akal Takht and Giani Sultan Singh from Kesgarh Sahib. This decision was met with anger from many Sikh leaders, including senior Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia.

    Both Akal Takht and Takht Kesgarh Sahib are two of the five key religious seats in Sikhism. Before taking on his new role, Kuldeep Singh Gargaj prayed at Takht Kesgarh Sahib. During the ceremony, the head Granthi (priest) Giani Joginder Singh led an ‘ardas’ (prayer), and the ‘Panj Piaras’ honored Gargaj by giving him a special turban. Other SGPC members also presented ceremonial turbans to him.

    In his speech, Kuldeep Singh Gargaj urged the Sikh community to come together under one ‘Nishan Sahib’ (Sikh flag) during these challenging times. He thanked the 10 Sikh Gurus and Guru Granth Sahib for this honor. He shared that he is proud to serve the Takht, despite growing up in a humble Sikh family. After starting his journey as a ‘Pathi’ (reader of prayers), he pledged to continue spreading the teachings of Sikhism.

    India Clinches ICC Champions Trophy: Rohit and KL Rahul Lead the Victory

    After India’s exciting victory against New Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy final, team captain Rohit Sharma praised KL Rahul for staying calm under pressure. Rohit mentioned how much he appreciates Rahul’s contributions, especially batting at number six. This win marked India’s third Champions Trophy title and their seventh overall in white-ball cricket.

    KL Rahul, who has batted in different positions before, played an important role in the final by scoring 34 not out off 33 balls when the team really needed runs. Across five matches, he scored 140 runs, averaging an impressive 140.00.

    During the press conference, Rohit shared how thoughtful they were about Rahul’s batting position because of his ability to keep a cool head. He explained that when KL is at the crease, he helps keep the team relaxed too. Rahul may not always score huge runs, but his 30 to 40 runs can be vital, especially in tough situations.

    Rohit also talked about his own innings of 76 runs, which was a big improvement after scoring only 104 runs in the past four matches. He knew it was important to score early when the pitch conditions were good. He aimed to build a strong foundation for the team and felt pleased with his performance despite getting out.

    He remarked how satisfying it was to contribute to a victory, especially after the last World Cup where he scored a lot but didn’t win. He emphasized that small but crucial contributions help the team win.

    Rohit acknowledged the brilliance of his opening partner, Shubman Gill, noting that they complement each other’s playing styles well. He also praised the entire team’s consistency in finals across different ICC events, showing that they can bounce back even after losses.

    He concluded the press conference by dedicating the win to the whole country, expressing gratitude for the support they receive from fans. Winning such significant tournaments brings joy not just to the players, but to everyone in India.

    In the match, New Zealand won the toss and chose to bat first. They started well, but Kuldeep Yadav bowled effectively, taking key wickets. New Zealand finished with 251 runs. In response, India had a strong start, and even after losing some wickets, KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya helped secure the victory with six wickets and one over to spare.

    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.

  • Israel and Hamas: Ceasefire Talks and Humanitarian Crisis

    Israel and Hamas: Ceasefire Talks and Humanitarian Crisis

    Israel is sending a team to Doha on Monday to talk about extending a fragile ceasefire in Gaza. This comes after Israel cut off electricity to put pressure on Hamas. The first part of the ceasefire ended on March 1, and while both sides have not resumed fighting, they still disagree on how to move forward.

    Hamas wants to start discussions for a new phase of the truce, but Israel prefers to extend the current situation. Israel has also stopped aid deliveries to Gaza and has cut off electricity to make Hamas release hostages. Energy Minister Eli Cohen announced this power cut, emphasizing that Israel will do everything it can to bring back the hostages.

    Currently, many people in Gaza are living in tents because supplies are low, especially with nighttime temperatures dropping to about 12 degrees Celsius (54 degrees Fahrenheit). A top Hamas official criticized Israel for cutting off electricity, saying it’s a desperate attempt to weaken their resistance.

    Hamas is asking for a second phase of the ceasefire that includes an exchange of hostages, a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, a permanent ceasefire, and reopening the borders. Former US President Joe Biden also supported a plan to get hostages back and remove Israeli forces from Gaza.

    The US envoy, Adam Boehler, stated that a deal could happen soon. Out of 251 hostages taken during the October 7 attack, 58 are still held in Gaza. Boehler mentioned that they were close to reaching an agreement that could release all hostages.

    Israel’s earlier proposal to remove Palestinians from Gaza faced backlash, leading to other plans that do not require displacing anyone. The previous phase of the ceasefire, which started on January 19, had reduced fighting and brought relief to the civilians in Gaza. However, after Israel cut off aid on March 2, the UN accused them of using hunger as a weapon. Many in Gaza now struggle without food and medicine, and the situation is challenging.

    Finance Minister Encourages CEOs for India’s Economic Growth

    In a recent speech, India’s Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman encouraged business leaders to think positively about the country. She reminded them that great leaders from the past achieved many things, but today we face challenges that must be tackled together.

    Sitharaman expressed her belief that the younger generation in India will expect more from businesses and ask tough questions if they don’t see progress. She highlighted that Indian startups have succeeded even when times were tough, and she urged all companies to work harder to make India grow faster.

    She asked business leaders to speak up about any concerns they have so that the government can understand the business environment better. Railway and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw also asked companies to invest in new products, which can help the economy thrive.

    Sitharaman emphasized the importance of making smart decisions that benefit India, instead of sticking to old theories. She talked about reviewing trade agreements to protect local industries from too many foreign goods. She explained that while it’s important to give smaller businesses cheaper materials, the country shouldn’t fall victim to unfair practices from other countries.

    Romal Shetty from Deloitte highlighted the innovative work being done by companies in India, like Mahindra & Mahindra’s advancements in defense technology and TVS Motor’s launch of a CNG scooter.

    Together, the government and businesses can lead India to a brighter future.
