Uddhav Thackeray warns Rahul Gandhi against insulting Veer Savarkar

Image

On this day, 3 years to Covid-19 lockdown India

Image
  In March 2020, India implemented one of the strictest lockdowns in the world in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The nationwide lockdown was imposed on March 25, 2020, and lasted for 68 days until May 31, 2020. It was later followed by several local lockdowns in different parts of the country. The lockdown was necessary to curb the spread of the virus and prevent the healthcare system from collapsing. However, it had a severe impact on the economy and the livelihoods of millions of people, particularly those in the informal sector. The lockdown was initially supposed to last for three weeks, but it was extended multiple times due to the rising number of Covid-19 cases. The government announced a series of measures to support vulnerable populations during the lockdown, such as providing free food rations and cash transfers. However, many people still faced significant difficulties, particularly those who were stranded in different parts of the country due to travel restrictions....

Are AAP leaders Raghav Chadha and Parineeti Chopra dating each other

Image
  There have been rumors circulating on social media and certain news outlets that Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Raghav Chadha and Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra are dating each other. However, there is no concrete evidence to suggest that this is true. While Raghav Chadha and Parineeti Chopra have been spotted together on a few occasions, there is no confirmation from either party that they are in a relationship. It is important to note that public figures often interact with each other for professional reasons, and it is not uncommon for them to be seen together in public. Moreover, it is unfair to speculate on the personal lives of public figures without concrete evidence. It is essential to respect their privacy and refrain from spreading baseless rumors that can harm their reputation. Both Raghav Chadha and Parineeti Chopra have busy schedules and professional commitments, and it is unlikely that they would publicly comment on such rumors. Therefore, it is best to treat the...

Image
  The third and final One Day International (ODI) match between India and Australia was a thrilling encounter that took place on the 2nd of December, 2020 at the Manuka Oval in Canberra, Australia. India had already lost the first two matches in the three-match series and was looking to avoid a whitewash. Australia won the toss and elected to bat first. They got off to a solid start with their opening batsmen, Aaron Finch and David Warner, adding 142 runs for the first wicket. Finch scored a century while Warner scored a half-century.

Hardik Pandya ends Steve Smith's misery as Australian captain goes back for a duck in IND vs AUS 3rd ODI

Image
  In the recent IND vs AUS 3rd ODI, Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya brought an end to Australian captain Steve Smith's misery by dismissing him for a duck. Smith had been struggling with the bat in the series so far, and his dismissal only added to his woes. Pandya bowled a short delivery that Smith tried to pull, but only managed to top-edge it to Indian wicketkeeper KL Rahul. The dismissal was a crucial moment in the game, as Smith is one of the best batsmen in the world and a key player for the Australian team. His early dismissal put pressure on the Australian middle-order, and they eventually crumbled under the Indian bowling attack, scoring a paltry total of 286 runs in their allotted 50 overs. Pandya's performance in the match was outstanding, as he not only took the wicket of Smith but also scored a quickfire 92 runs off just 76 balls. His all-round performance helped India secure a convincing victory in the match and take a 2-1 lead in the series. The Indian team will...

Sisodia requests court to allow him carry these books in judicial custody

Image
Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister, Manish Sisodia, has requested a court to allow him to carry certain books in judicial custody. Sisodia, who is currently in judicial custody due to his alleged involvement in a riot case, has asked the court to allow him to carry books related to the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and social reformer BR Ambedkar. Sisodia's request is not without precedent. In the past, several prisoners have been allowed to carry books with them while in jail. The reasoning behind this is that reading can be an excellent way to pass the time and keep the mind occupied. Moreover, books can be a source of inspiration, education, and self-improvement. The books that Sisodia has requested to carry are particularly significant, given his background as a political leader. Mahatma Gandhi and BR Ambedkar are both revered figures in India, known for their contributions to India's independence movement and their social reform efforts. The teachings of Gandhi and Ambedkar a...

According to the Indian Army chief, there has been no reduction in the number of Chinese troops stationed along the LAC, and China's infrastructure buildup along the border has been occurring at a "hectic pace". This development comes in the wake of a deadly clash between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley region of the LAC in June 2020, which resulted in the deaths of 20 Indian soldiers and an unknown number of Chinese troops.
