Isha PoddarAugust 12, 20220

It was said that Urvashi Rautela and Rishabh Pant secretly had an affair some time ago. Still, the relationship or fling was supposed to have lasted only a bit, and, allegedly, things didn't end on an amicable note. And while this is all hearsay, the sly digs and sometimes not-so-subtle innuendos that Urvashi Rautela passes on social media and, at times, in interviews, do not help stop the wagging tongues one bit. This time, Rishabh Pant himself seems to have responded to one such discussion, which again led to the actress taking another sly dig at the ace Indian cricketer. Urvashi Rautela's interview on Rishabh Pant It all began when Urvashi Rautela stated in an interveiw that after shooting in Varanasi, she had flown to Delhi for another shoot, which had lasted 10 hours, following

India In Search Of Equality That Can Stand Up To The Test Of Time

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 12, 20220

Many people say things like "we are the first political party that has made it possible for a person from the underprivileged socioeconomic classes to be elected to the highest position in the nation" in reference to the elections conducted to determine India's 15th president. What follows, at least for some, from such an expression is as follows: Because this claim would obliquely suggest that a politically correct party or coalition of parties occupy a special and perhaps superior moral position to give meaning to inclusive democracy by supporting, in this case, an Adivasi who has been historically excluded from occupying the highest public office Some of the politics of symbolic presence is likely to argue that producing the election outcome in favour of an Adivasi or a Dalit woul

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 11, 20220

The opposition finally won a political victory in 2022, when its two main leaders, Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav, returned to power. Over the last 12 months, BJP's grip on politics has tightened. It dominated the presidential and vice presidential elections and won in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Manipur, and Goa. It also overthrew the MVA government in Maharashtra by causing a split within the Shiv Sena. Congress has tried numerous different strategies after its defeat in five states, including Punjab, including the lacklustre chintan shivir and the impending statewide padayatra. The lustre of Mamata Banerjee's crushing defeat of the BJP in 2017 has worn off. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Arvind Kejriwal, its leader, have a long way to go despite their recent victory in Punjab. Ot...

Vikas DeshwalAugust 10, 20220

Beijing has diverted to the standard playbook of commerce limitations following United States House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taiwan. Behind Pelosi moved with her visit to the democratically-ruled island despite China's prophecies, Chinese authorities stopped imports of citrus fruits and fish and exports of sand. Chinese media also declared that significant military exercises around Taiwan would begin on Thursday, stating the drills as a "rehearse reunification process".   The commerce activities have been widely analysed as political activities sought to pressure the island, which Chins considered a breakaway region that should be "reunified" — by power if required — although Chinese administrators noted biosecurity and other trade-related settings.
