    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.

  • Syria’s Deadly Violence: Over 1,000 Dead After Assad’s Ousting

    Syria’s Deadly Violence: Over 1,000 Dead After Assad’s Ousting

    Months after Bashar al-Assad was removed from power, fighting in Syria has grown much worse. Supporters of the new Islamist leaders are attacking those loyal to Assad, who mostly belong to the Alawite community. A recent report states that over 1,000 people, many of them civilians, have died in just four days of fighting in Assad’s stronghold near the coast.

    Most of the casualties are from the Alawite community, which lives mainly in coastal cities like Latakia and Tartous. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that around 1,000 people died in two days of clashes, including 745 civilians and some security forces and fighters allied with Assad.

    Rami Abdulrahman, who heads the observatory, said these deaths are among the most significant since a chemical attack by Assad’s forces killed about 1,400 people in 2013. Ahmad Al-Sharaa, the interim president now leading the Sunni Islamist government, is calling for justice for those harming civilians or treating prisoners poorly.

    The recent violence has caused major destruction in several towns. Sunni militants have carried out many revenge killings against Alawites, regardless of whether they were involved in the fighting.

    Who Are the Alawites?

    Alawites are a branch of Shia Islam and were historically in power under Assad’s rule, even though most of Syria’s population is Sunni. Attacks against Alawites have risen since Assad’s ousting, even as the interim president pledged an inclusive government for all people.

    Despite this promise, violence has surged, with the government blaming “individual actions” for the chaos. A Kurdish group accused Turkish-backed Islamist forces of serious crimes against Alawites. The killings reportedly began after a suspect was arrested in an Alawite area, though calm returned somewhat by Saturday.

    The interim president has set up a committee to look into the violence from both sides. Graphic videos showing brutal attacks have circulated online. Meanwhile, Alawite gunmen briefly took control of Qardaha, Assad’s hometown, overwhelming security forces, but the government quickly regained control.

    Authorities are urging an end to this sectarian violence, but clashes continue, leading to many civilian deaths.

    India’s Rs 316.82 Crore Para High Performance Centre for 2036 Olympics!

    On Sunday, Union Minister Amit Shah officially started the construction of the Para High Performance Centre in Gandhinagar, which will cost Rs 316.82 crore. This centre aims to support para athletes in Gujarat with top-notch training facilities for state, national, and international competitions.

    Amit Shah mentioned that ten large stadiums will be built next to the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium at the Sardar Patel Sports Complex. India is determined to host the 2036 Olympic Games at these venues. He praised Gujarat’s preparations for the event, highlighting the state’s commitment to sports.

    The Para High Performance Centre will provide excellent resources for differently-abled athletes, helping them shine in sports. Amit Shah noted that in the past, people often used negative words to describe those with disabilities. However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has encouraged a more respectful term, “divyang,” to empower them.

    To promote the idea of “Sports for All,” the Gujarat government, led by Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, has taken many steps to improve sports facilities. Since 2002, the budget for sports in Gujarat has grown from Rs 2 crore to Rs 352 crore, reflecting the government’s dedication to sports.

    At the event, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between Gujarat’s Department of Science and Technology and the Central Common Service Centre (CSC) to enhance digital services in Gandhinagar district.

  • Thackeray Challenges BJP: ‘Jai Shivaji’ vs. ‘Jai Shri Ram

    Thackeray Challenges BJP: ‘Jai Shivaji’ vs. ‘Jai Shri Ram

    Uddhav Thackeray, the leader of Shiv Sena (UBT), spoke to his supporters on Sunday and accused the BJP of causing trouble in society. He told his followers to respond to the BJP’s slogan ‘Jai Shri Ram’ with ‘Jai Shivaji’ and ‘Jai Bhavani’. Thackeray said if someone says ‘Jai Shri Ram’, they should not let that person go without saying ‘Jai Shivaji’ and ‘Jai Bhavani’ too. He claimed that the BJP has poisoned our society and promised to challenge them for their actions.

    Thackeray also questioned the BJP’s loyalty to the country. He mentioned how BJP leaders used to be against playing sports with Pakistan, but now India is playing cricket matches with both Pakistan and Bangladesh.

    Responding to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who had criticized him in the assembly, Thackeray said if Fadnavis wants to follow in his footsteps, he should announce loan help for farmers and allocate money for programs like Shiv Bhojan and Ladki Bahin when the budget is presented on March 10.

    Thackeray, who was Chief Minister for over two years, claimed he had stopped some projects during his time. He mentioned that if he had remained in office longer, he would have moved the Metro 3 carshed to Kanjur Marg, but now it is being given to the Adani group. The BJP and Thackeray’s party have clashed over where the Mumbai Metro 3 carshed should be built. After the government led by Thackeray collapsed in 2022, the new government decided to build it at Aarey instead of Kanjur Marg.

  • Tejashwi Yadav Rejects Alliance Rumors with Nitish Kumar

    Tejashwi Yadav Rejects Alliance Rumors with Nitish Kumar

    Tejashwi Yadav, a leader from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), got upset during a press conference when asked about working with Bihar’s Chief Minister Nitish Kumar again. He asked, “Why would we team up? Why are you trying to change the subject?”

    When reporters mentioned rumors that Nitish Kumar was worried about his partner, the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), wanting to change the leadership after the Bihar assembly elections, Yadav replied strongly. He said, “No one has made us any offers. Only RJD president Lalu Prasad and I can decide on alliances. Please don’t joke about this.”

    Yadav also mentioned that Nitish Kumar seems to be “out of control,” pointing to the way he speaks in public. He reminded everyone that there have been times when the Chief Minister tried to touch Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s feet publicly, saying, “Is this how a chief minister should act? Soon, he might even be bowing to his own deputies.”

    Let’s look at Nitish Kumar’s past. He broke away from the BJP in 2013, before the BJP named Modi as its leading candidate for Prime Minister. Then, he partnered with Lalu Prasad and won the Bihar assembly elections in 2015. But he quit in 2017 after arguing with the RJD due to corruption allegations against Tejashwi Yadav. Later, he joined back with the BJP and became Chief Minister again. They worked together in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and the 2020 Bihar assembly elections. However, in 2022, he left the NDA (the BJP’s alliance) to partner with RJD again, and then switched back to the NDA early in 2024.

    India’s Youth: A Call to Action Against Diabetes and Obesity

    Union Minister Jitendra Singh recently highlighted the need for India to pay attention to the health of its young people. He pointed out that as India aims to become a developed nation by 2047, it cannot afford to let conditions like diabetes and obesity take away the energy and potential of its youth. Speaking at a conference about diabetes in pregnant women, Singh mentioned that many people in India are struggling with these health issues. For example, he noted that one in three Indians may have a fatty liver due to poor lifestyle choices.

    With over 70% of India’s population under 40 years old, Singh believes that today’s youth are key to India’s future success. He emphasized that if young people are affected by diseases, it not only harms their health but also harms the nation. Singh, who is also a doctor, stressed that it’s important to take care of the health of our young people so they can contribute to India’s growth.

    He praised organizations like the Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group of India (DIPSI), which is working to prevent diabetes during pregnancy. Singh highlighted the importance of spreading awareness about obesity and diabetes, especially among children and pregnant women. He urged for early diabetes testing and better health education to combat these growing problems. Additionally, he called for increased teamwork between public and private sectors in healthcare, using India’s advancements in various fields as examples of successful collaboration.

    Gyanendra Shah’s Return: Supporters Demand Monarchy in Nepal

    On Sunday, Gyanendra Shah, Nepal’s former king, arrived in Kathmandu with heavy security. As he landed at the Tribhuvan International Airport from Pokhara in a helicopter, many supporters showed up to welcome him. They were shouting slogans like “We want our King back!” and “Bring back the monarchy!”

    The police were present near the old royal palace to keep order because of rumors that Gyanendra might go there with his supporters. But everything went smoothly as the crowd made their way to his private home, Nirmal Niwas, outside the city.

    For several days, many people have been rallying for the monarchy to return since it was removed in 2008 during a movement for democracy. Popular Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala, who is related to a famous former prime minister, asked everyone on social media to welcome the former king at the airport.

  • Bracewell’s Heroics Lead New Zealand to 251 in Champions Trophy Final!

    Bracewell’s Heroics Lead New Zealand to 251 in Champions Trophy Final!

    In the final match of the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025, Michael Bracewell played a fantastic innings, scoring an unbeaten 53 runs for New Zealand against India. The game took place on Sunday at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Bracewell’s 40-ball performance included 3 fours and 2 sixes, helping New Zealand reach a total of 251 runs for 7 wickets in their 50 overs. This score gives the New Zealand team something to defend, as they are hoping to stop India’s batting with spin bowlers like Bracewell, Glenn Phillips, and Rachin Ravindra.

    Bracewell played well against India’s fast bowlers, Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya, especially in the last few overs, which helped his team post a total over 250. He also formed an important partnership of 46 runs with Daryl Mitchell for the sixth wicket, which helped New Zealand recover after India’s spinners slowed down the scoring.

    India’s bowlers, especially Kuldeep Yadav, did a great job. Kuldeep took 2 wickets for 40 runs, taking key players Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson out. Rachin and Will Young gave New Zealand a solid start with a 57-run opening partnership, but then Varun Chakaravarthy dismissed Young, and Kuldeep got Rachin out for 37 runs in his first over. Daryl Mitchell was the top scorer for New Zealand with 63 runs, but his innings took 101 balls and included many dot balls, adding pressure on other players.

    Varun Chakaravarthy helped India by taking two wickets, getting Young and Glenn Phillips out. India’s fast bowlers, Shami and Hardik, allowed 104 runs in just 12 overs. In comparison, the spinners bowled 38 overs, giving away 147 runs and taking 5 wickets.
