July 31, 2023 at 11:26PM Prime Minister Narendra Modi has told the NDA to focus on issues apart from Ram Mandir ahead of the 2024 general elections. At a meeting with MPs from Uttar Pradesh today, the Prime Minister advised the MPs to go local, and "spend more time with the people", sources said. The MPs who attended the meet -- to be a part of a series of meetings -- were from West Uttar Pradesh, Braj and the Kanpur-Bundelkhand area. Sources said the Prime Minister has asked the MPs to talk about local issues in their respective constituencies, go to programmes that people attend including weddings. "PM Modi gave the mantra of 2024 victory to NDA MPs. 'Convince those who are sulky, angry, spend more and more time with the public during elections," a source quoted him as saying. Invoking 'coalition dharma', he said unlike the UPA, the NDA is about sacrifice, not selfishness, sources said.   As an example, PM Modi cited Bihar Chief Minister Nitish K...

July 31, 2023 at 11:17PM England beat Australia by 49 runs to win the fifth Test at The Oval on Monday and end the Ashes series all square at 2-2. Australia, chasing 384 to win, collapsed from 264-3 to 334 all out, with England's retiring paceman Stuart Broad taking the final two wickets in the form of Todd Murphy and Alex Carey.  Australia suffered a dramatic collapse in the last session, reduced to 294-8 as England's Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes ripped through their batting order at The Oval.  Rain kept the players off the field for about two hours before Australia, who as the holders have already retained the Ashes at 2-1 up, resumed on 238-3. That still left the tourists needing 146 more runs to reach an imposing victory target of 384. Steve Smith, dropped at leg gully by England captain Ben Stokes just before the interval, was 40 not out and left-hander Travis Head 31 not out. The pair had extended their fourth-wicket stand to 95 when off-spinner...

July 30, 2023 at 11:37PM A TikToker in Canada was hospitalised after drinking four litres of water for 12 days as part of a viral fitness challenge. The challenge, named 75 Hard, requires participants to drink about four litres of water for 75 days. It also includes following a structured diet with no alcohol or ''cheat meals'', two 45-minute workouts a day, reading 10 pages a day, and taking a daily progress photo, New York Post reported. On Monday, Michelle Fairburn shared a video to TikTok on Monday about the challenge, which was first started by YouTuber Andy Frisella. She explained that she thought she had water poisoning, which can occur after you drink ''more than three to four litres of water in a few hours.'' ''I think I have water poisoning. I don't feel good at all,'' Ms Fairburn said. On the 12th day of her challenge, she said she didn't feel good when she was going to bed the night before and had woken up several ...

July 29, 2023 at 11:54PM England great Stuart Broad said Saturday he will retire from all cricket following the conclusion of the ongoing fifth Ashes Test against Australia at The Oval, describing his career as "a wonderful ride". The 37-year-old seamer, the fifth most successful bowler in Test history with 602 wickets, told Sky Sports after stumps on the third day: "Tomorrow (Sunday) or Monday will be my last game of cricket. It has been a wonderful ride and a huge privilege to wear the Nottinghamshire and England badge as much as I have." Broad, the son of former England opening batsman Chris Broad, added: "I am loving cricket as much as I ever have. I have always wanted to finish at the top and this series feels like one of the most enjoyable and entertaining I have been a part of." Broad, now appearing in the 167th Test of his career, made his debut in December 2007 against Sri Lanka in Colombo. Along with fellow veteran fast bowler Jimmy Anderson, ...

July 29, 2023 at 12:19AM Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday urged the police to develop a standard operating Procedure (SOP) for probing cases of 'love-jihad' in the state. The root cause of 'love jihad' is forceful religious conversions, Mr Sarma claimed in his address to the superintendents of police at a convention in Bongaigaon. "Besides, an act will be implemented soon in the state through which the marriageable age will be legally fixed for all communities, multiple marriages will be stopped and more legislative steps will be taken so that when arrests are made for violating the norms, the accused do not get bail," Mr Sarma said. The chief minister has been claiming that the triple murder case in Golaghat where a 25-year old Muslim man killed his Hindu wife and her parents on Monday was a case of 'love jihad', a term used by right-wing groups to allege that Muslim men lure Hindu women to convert through marriage. He also claim...

July 28, 2023 at 11:13PM As I write this, we have just concluded the seventh day of parliament. No sign yet of Prime Minister Narendra Modi inside Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha. The closest he has come to the chambers of both Houses is to address the media somewhere in the precincts of parliament House. The INDIA parties (preferred usage to "Opposition parties") are striving to get a discussion going in parliament on Manipur. There is one hitch. The PM does not want to participate in the debate. The INDIA parties insist he must. Hence, the logjam. Let's leave parliament aside for a moment, and consider the footage that has surfaced from Manipur. Last week a bone-chilling video was circulated on social media. Two women from the conflict ridden state were being paraded naked by a mob of men, some of whom seemed to be teenagers. Since then, several details have emerged. What we know so far is that this incident occured soon after the violence in Manipur erupted. That it was cau...

July 27, 2023 at 09:44PM Founder and CEO of a Bengaluru-based company, Brij Singh, on Thursday, took to X to share his experience of trying to register his company in the city. He revealed that despite two months of effort, his company registration process remained incomplete. Frustrated by the ordeal, Mr. Singh said that he is planning to move back to the US.  In his tweet, he also compared the learning experience in the Bay Area (San Francisco) to his struggles with company registration in India and cited specific reasons for his decision. ''Love Bangalore / India, but I have learned more in the last 3 days in Bay Area than I could in a month back home. Spent 2 months just trying to register a co in India & it's still not done. The problem-solution feedback loop from potential customers, Investors & even fellow founders is at a different level. The time may be coming for me to move back to the US. And I say this with a heavy heart,'' he wrote in the twee...

July 26, 2023 at 11:15PM Bollywood actor Aditya Roy Kapur has been hogging all the limelight ever since his portrayal of Shaan Sengupta in the blockbuster web series The Night Manager. Now, in an interview with Filmfare , the actor has opened up about his initial days in the industry and on being faced with the question of nepotism. Talking to Filmfare, Aditya Roy Kapur said that he started in the industry by doing supporting roles hence nepotism didn't play a part in his journey as an actor. He said, "I think people know that I have kind of made my way into the industry. I started with supporting roles in films my brothers weren't involved with. My journey has been a public one. People saw my career develop slowly. By the time I did my first leading role, I had already done three supporting parts. So I think that journey is clear for people to see." On being asked about his auditioning experiences, Aditya Roy Kapur emphasised that rejection is a part of the auditi...

July 24, 2023 at 11:41PM Sixty-four multi-tier, reusable graves have been built at a Christian cemetery in Madhya Pradesh's Indore to tide over a shortage of burial land. Four bodies can be buried in as many layers one over the other, while the lowest tier will be kept empty for bodies to be placed after five or more years, Indore Catholic Diocese's Bishop Chako Thottumarickal told news agency PTI. "These 64 five-tier graves have been built at the Kanchan Bagh cemetery. The work was completed on July 1. After the bodies are put in the lowest compartment, we will have space for another four bodies. The idea was finalised through consensus after we sought advice from the community for solutions to tackle a shortage of burial land," he said. The graves are 4.5 feet wide and 6.5 feet long, with a 16-foot pit with multiple layers as well as space for headstone inscriptions, he said, adding that such an arrangement may be a first for the country. Asked about the sprinkl...

July 24, 2023 at 11:08PM Indian women's team captain Harmanpreet Kaur could well miss first two games in the upcoming Hangzhou Asian Games on charges of equipment abuse and public criticism of match officials after the tied third ODI against Bangladesh on Saturday. Harmanpreet was adjudged leg before off a Nahida Akter delivery while trying to sweep but she claimed that she got a bottom edge and in a fit of rage shattered the stumps before walking back to the pavilion. Later at the post match presentation ceremony, she termed the level of umpiring as "pathetic" and also sarcastically asked the umpires to be called to join the teams for trophy ceremony. Her boorish behaviour had prompted Bangladesh skipper Nigar Sultana to walk away with her team and urge her Indian counterpart to learn some "manners". "There is still some deliberation going on whether she should get three demerit points or four as there are two charges -- match equipment abuse and cri...

July 23, 2023 at 11:31PM Two sisters in the US have filed a $60 million lawsuit against a pair of funeral homes after the wrong man was allegedly buried in their father's grave, New York Post reported. As per the lawsuit,  Stacy Holzman and Megan Zaner have accused Fletcher Funeral and Cremation Service in Fountain Inn, S.C., of mistaking another person's remains for their father and placing the wrong body in his burial clothes. Notably, Clifford Zaner died of heart failure at his South Carolina home on February 25, at the age of 72. He told his family that he wanted to be buried in black jeans and his favorite Led Zeppelin T-shirt. After he died, his body was supposed to be shipped to New York. However, the wrong man was sent and then buried in their father's favourite clothes. The sisters noticed something was wrong when they asked to see their father one last time.  “I knew something was wrong the day of the funeral. There were red flags when we viewed th...

July 22, 2023 at 11:40PM The Uttarakhand High Court has said the law punishing rape is being misused as a weapon by women these days when they have differences with a male partner. Justice Sharad Kumar Sharma made the observation on July 5 while quashing criminal proceedings against a man who was accused of rape by a woman after he refused to marry her. They were having consensual relations since 2005. The Supreme Court has also repeatedly reiterated that a consensual physical relationship between adults cannot be termed rape if one of the parties has refused to marry, the judge said. The Uttarakhand High Court remarked that women are misusing Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) against their male counterparts for various reasons, including discord. The woman had filed a complaint on June 30, 2020, stating that the accused was having consensual sex with her since 2005. She said the two had promised each other that they would get married as soon as either of them gets a job. ...

July 22, 2023 at 11:40PM The Delhi Commission for Women, along with Delhi Police and Uttar Pradesh Police, rescued a 22-year-old woman who was allegedly abducted by her family from her husband's in Delhi, the women's body said on Saturday. In June, Firdaus Khan, one of the commission's members, received a complaint from an Amroha-based woman who said she had married a man in May this year of her own accord against her family's wish, the DCW said in a statement. She told the DCW member that since she feared for her life, she had run away from Amroha and come to Delhi with her husband. The commission helped the woman file a complaint with the Delhi Police. However, she refused to take any legal action against her family members at that time, the statement said. On Friday, the commission received a call from her husband who said some men from her family had come to their house, and beat her up and forced her to go with them. After the incident, a case was registered a...

July 21, 2023 at 11:30PM A recent study revealed that almost 800,000 Americans suffer from misdiagnoses each year, which is a worrying indicator for the US healthcare system. According to a study that was conducted by scientists at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and released this week, misdiagnosis of disease causes about 371,000 fatalities and 424,000 permanent disabilities, such as brain damage, blindness, the loss of limbs or organs, or metastasized cancer, every year. The researchers write in the report that just 15 diseases account for about half of all serious harm, so the problem may be more tractable than previously imagined. "Diagnostic errors are, by a wide margin, the most under-resourced public health crisis we face," said Dr. David Newman-Toker, director of the Johns Hopkins Diagnostic Excellence Centre. The top five most often misdiagnosed illnesses were lung cancer, sepsis, pneumonia, venous thromboembolism (blood clots in veins), and stroke, which t...

July 19, 2023 at 11:44PM The International Cricket Council (ICC) took to social media to share a picture of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan with the ODI World Cup trophy and fans were sent into a frenzy.

India will start their campaign against Australia on October 8 and the Rohit Sharma -led side will take on Pakistan at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on October 15.

July 18, 2023 at 10:42PM The distant factions of Bihar's Lok Janshakti Party took one step towards each other today as Chirag Paswan was seen touching his uncle Pashupati Paras's feet and getting a warm hug in return at the NDA meet presided over by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The amity was on display less than 72 hours after Mr Paras was heard making strong remarks against his nephew and declaring that he has said a firm "no" to the BJP's suggestion that the divided party unify. Chirag Paswan has joined the NDA and became one of the 38 allies who had a mega meeting in Delhi today.

July 17, 2023 at 11:26PM In a terrifying event, four men narrowly avoided a dangerous scenario after attempting to get close to a herd of wild elephants. In the video shared by Indian Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda, a group of tourists can be seen approaching a herd of elephants inside a forest. The video shows an elephant crossing a street, with a few calves in the group. The tourists can be heard making peculiar sounds with their mouths. The noise startled the elephants and the elephants increased their speed, in fact, one of them even tried to charge towards the group. Realising that they are in mortal danger, the men also tried to flee the scene. Mr Nanda posted the video along with a stern warning. He wrote, "Ridiculous crowd behaviour. An elephant herd with a young calf can be highly aggressive. Don't put your life at stake. Allow them safe passage. They have the first right." See the video here: Ridiculous crowd behaviour.

July 16, 2023 at 11:12PM For about three weeks now, the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) has ignited a debate around the diversity of the country that exists not just among its people but also in its laws. The Law Commission on Friday extended the deadline for public submissions on the UCC till July 28 due to an overwhelming response. So far, the commission has received over 27 lakh replies through emails, and the commission is likely to begin nation-wide public consultations and share a detailed questionnaire with citizens on the issue, sources told NDTV. Inheritance, adoption, marriage and divorce have been largely governed by personal laws in the country. Even the Congress and other opposition parties have been treading carefully on UCC. They have not opposed reforms in personal laws such as equality of inheritance, but held that a UCC can be an assault on the cultural identity of Muslims and diversity in traditions. Inheritance has been a sticking point when it comes to uniformity, and ...

July 16, 2023 at 11:39PM Carlos Alcaraz defeated seven-time champion Novak Djokovic to claim his first Wimbledon title on Sunday, shattering the Serb's dream of a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam crown. World number one Alcaraz recovered from dropping the first set and saving a set point in the second to win 1-6, 7-6 (8/6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 after four hours and 42 minutes on Centre Court. It was a second major for the 20-year-old Spaniard following his US Open title last year as he became Wimbledon's third youngest men's champion. The result will also spark feverish speculation over the start of a generational shift, with 36-year-old Djokovic carrying the torch of the 'Big Three' now that Roger Federer is retired and Rafael Nadal is sidelined, perhaps permanently. Australian Open and French Open champion Djokovic had been bidding to equal Federer's record of eight Wimbledon titles and match Margaret Court's all-time mark of 24 Slams. When he won his first maj...
