Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Red Alert: North India in a Heatwave Grip North India is reeling under a severe heatwave, with Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan placed under a red alert. Temperatures are soaring 5°C above normal, with Delhi's heat index touching 45.5°C and Rajasthan's Ganganagar hitting a blistering 48°C, the highest in the country. The India Meteorological Department blames the heat on a lack of thunderstorms and an anti-cyclonic system parked over the region. Relief is expected only after June 14, with light rain and gusty winds likely to bring a 2–4°C dip. Meanwhile, the south is facing the opposite extreme—Karnataka and coastal Maharashtra are under red alert for heavy rains, and Kerala and Tamil Nadu are bracing for extremely heavy downpours from June 14 to 17.  India's Big Nuclear Bet: Small Reactors, Big Goals India's nuclear journey just took a strategic leap—with Bharat Small Reactors (BSRs) leading the charge. Heavyweights like Reliance, Adani, Vedanta, Indian Railways, and JSW are onboard, powering a plan to build compact 220-MWe reactors for captive industrial use. The government's pitch: private players fund it, NPCIL runs it, and post-commissioning, the plant is handed to NPCIL for ₹1—while the user keeps the power. At least five BSRs are targeted by 2033, as India aims to scale nuclear capacity from 8.78 GW to 100 GW by 2047. Why now? Rising power needs from AI, crypto, and industrial growth demand low-carbon, stable energy. Nuclear fits the bill—and India is betting big on going small. Wheat Stays Home: India Stands by Export Ban Even with a record wheat harvest of 115.4 million tonnes expected this season, India is keeping its wheat export ban in place. In a WTO submission, the government cited food security concerns for itself and neighbouring nations. Imposed in May 2022, the ban has sharply reduced exports—from 4.7 million tonnes in FY23 to just 2,749 tonnes this fiscal. Only diplomatic and humanitarian shipments have been allowed. The government says global volatility, inflation risks, and upcoming festivals and state polls demand price stability. Critics argue it disrupts supply chains, especially after the Russia-Ukraine war hurt global grain flows. But for now, India's wheat isn't going anywhere.  Adani's ₹2.5 Trillion Playbook “We only do two things—energy and logistics,” says Sagar Adani, and that's exactly where the Adani Group is putting its money. The conglomerate plans to raise ₹2.5 trillion ($30 billion) over the next five years to fund a $100-billion capex spree. Even as the group navigates US investigations and controversies, it's doubling down with ₹1.3–1.7 trillion in annual investments, largely in infrastructure and clean energy. Adani Green, copper and aluminium expansions, a planned demerger of the airports business by FY28, and a mega cement merger are all part of the game plan. With low-cost power and transport as their advantage, and 20% of India's private capex under their belt, the Adanis are clearly not slowing down—they're powering through.

Even as the central government plans to conduct a caste census across the country, Karnataka has data on the socio-economic data of backward castes in the states for nearly a decade that it hasn't released fully. Political analyst and author Sugata Srinivasaraju explains the partial release of data and why the state may have inspired caste-based reservations in India in the past, it hasn't done very well with the current survey's data.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 20th of May and here are the headlines.1. India's Global Anti-Terror Diplomacy DriveIndia has launched a major diplomatic outreach, sending seven multi-party delegations to 32 countries to highlight its fight against terrorism, particularly from Pakistani soil. Briefed by the Ministry of External Affairs, the teams will explain India's military response after the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor. PM Modi framed the doctrine as part of a global anti-terror campaign, stating there will be zero tolerance for terror sheltered by “nuclear blackmail.” The goal: convince the world not to equate India, a terror victim, with Pakistan, a terror perpetrator.2. TMC Replaces Yusuf Pathan With Abhishek BanerjeeAfter initially rejecting the Centre's move to include Yusuf Pathan in its foreign outreach delegations, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has nominated Abhishek Banerjee instead. The switch came after Union Minister Kiren Rijiju spoke to TMC chief Mamata Banerjee. Abhishek, the party's general secretary, will now join the anti-terror diplomatic push. Separately, TMC is sending its own delegation, led by Manas Bhunia, to Jammu and Kashmir to support victims of cross-border terror. Earlier, Pathan, a cricketer-turned-MP, had been named without TMC's consultation, prompting the initial protest.3. Heavy Rains Disrupt Bengaluru; Red Alert IssuedBengaluru faced severe disruptions on Tuesday after intense pre-monsoon thundershowers caused widespread flooding and traffic chaos. The India Meteorological Department has issued a red alert for the city and Karnataka, forecasting heavy rain, thunderstorms, and lightning through May 26. Commuters struggled, with some taking two hours to travel just 7 km. The Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre has echoed warnings of extremely heavy rainfall and advised caution. The relentless downpour left several areas waterlogged, reigniting concerns over the city's poor infrastructure and monsoon preparedness.4. Veteran Nuclear Scientist M R Srinivasan Dies at 95M R Srinivasan, former Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission and a pioneer of India's nuclear program, passed away on Tuesday at age 95. He is survived by his wife and daughter. Srinivasan played a key role in developing India's indigenous nuclear capabilities, working alongside legendary scientist Dr Homi Bhabha. Honoured with the Padma Vibhushan, his death marks the end of a historic era in Indian science. District Collector Lakshmi Bhavya Tanneeru paid floral tributes to the distinguished scientist's mortal remains.5. Netanyahu Offers Conditional End to Gaza WarIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he's willing to end the Gaza war if Hamas agrees to strict terms, including disarming. His statement comes amid rising international pressure, with the UK, France, and Canada threatening sanctions over Israel's latest Gaza offensive. Netanyahu slammed these nations for demanding a Palestinian state, calling it a reward for “genocidal attacks on Israel.” In a joint statement, the Western leaders criticized Israel's denial of humanitarian aid to Palestinians, warning that it could violate international law if continued.That's all for today. This was the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. 1. India on Covid Alert Again India's health agencies have reactivated surveillance mechanisms amid rising Covid-19 cases in Hong Kong and Singapore. Genome sequencing and wastewater tracking in Bengaluru are already picking up early signals. With 257 active cases—the highest in a year—authorities stress there's no need to panic yet. “Covid hasn't vanished,” warns Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, citing the emergence of Omicron sub-variants LF.7 and NB.1.8. No hospitalizations have been reported in India, but experts are watching SARI and ILI trends closely. 2. SC to Telcos: No Waiver, No Shortcut The Supreme Court dismissed pleas by Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea, and Tata Teleservices for relief from ₹80,000 crore in interest and penalties linked to adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues. Calling the petitions “shocking” and “misconceived,” the court said it's up to the government to help—but it won't intervene judicially. Vodafone Idea, now nearly half-owned by the government, is under financial duress with over ₹2 trillion in dues. Without a bailout or major policy relief, analysts warn it may not survive beyond FY26. 3. India's Coffee Exports Brew Big India's coffee exports jumped from $800 million in FY15 to $1.81 billion in FY25, despite only marginal production growth. The secret? Higher global prices for robusta and strong branding. Karnataka remains the coffee hub, but cultivation is expanding into tribal districts of Odisha. With Europe's deforestation regulation kicking in, India's shade-grown coffee is gaining a green premium. Still, rising procurement costs are hitting local traders hard, even as demand from Italy, Russia, and Germany grows strong. 4. Myntra Goes Global, Starts with Singapore Myntra has launched international shipping to Singapore, targeting the 6 million-strong Indian diaspora. With over 35,000 styles across 100 brands—including Aurelia, Global Desi, and Rare Rabbit—the Flipkart-owned fashion giant is offering delivery in 4–7 days straight from India. CEO Nandita Sinha says the focus is on festive fashion and understanding consumer needs before expanding to more countries. Singapore's booming e-commerce market makes it an ideal launchpad for “Myntra Global,” a strategy aimed at building global brand affinity. 5. Trump-Putin Call Rekindles Peace Hopes In a surprise diplomatic turn, Russian President Vladimir Putin said his two-hour phone call with US President Donald Trump was “frank and useful.” The two discussed paths to peace in Ukraine, with Putin proposing a memorandum for a ceasefire and long-term treaty. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed the idea of peace but said Russia must act to be trusted. “We want to finish this war, but we don't trust them,” he said. Talks may be resuming—but skepticism remains high. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It began like any other quiet night in the remote town ofPavagada, nestled in the heart of Karnataka, India. A five-year-old girl lay peacefully beside her parents under the open sky—a common tradition in the warm countryside. But by dawn, she was gone. No screams, no struggle. Just faintfootprints in the dust… and a few chilling drops of blood.What was first dismissed as a tragic encounter with a wildanimal soon spiraled into something darker.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 14th of April and here are today's headlines.Mehul Choksi Arrested in Belgium After India's Extradition RequestFugitive diamond trader Mehul Choksi has been arrested in Belgium following an extradition request by India, according to sources. Choksi is wanted by the CBI and Enforcement Directorate in the ₹13,000 crore Punjab National Bank fraud case. He had been residing in Antwerp on a residency card after previously living in Antigua and Barbuda. Earlier this year, India, via the Ministry of External Affairs, formally requested Belgium to extradite him. Choksi's wife, Preeti, holds Belgian citizenship, and the legal process for extradition is now underway.Accused Child Murderer Shot Dead in Karnataka EncounterRitesh Kumar, a 35-year-old migrant labourer from Patna, was killed in a police encounter in Hubballi, Karnataka, after being accused of murdering a five-year-old girl. Police suspect the child was also raped, though a post-mortem report is awaited. The incident occurred when Kumar allegedly tried to attack police while attempting to escape. He was shot in the leg and back, then declared dead at a local medical college. Kumar had been working in the city for 2–3 months. Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the child's death.Fresh Death Threat Sent to Salman Khan via WhatsAppBollywood actor Salman Khan received another death threat early Sunday through a message sent to the Mumbai police traffic department's WhatsApp number. Sent around 6:30 a.m., the message threatened to enter Khan's home and kill him, as well as plant a bomb in his vehicle. A senior officer confirmed that a case has been registered, and efforts are underway to trace the sender. This incident adds to a series of previous threats aimed at the actor, prompting heightened security around Khan and his residence.China Races Exports Ahead of Harsh New US TariffsChina's exports surged in March, jumping 12.4% year-on-year, as factories rushed shipments before tough new U.S. tariffs kicked in on April 2. The growth marks a five-month high, up from 2.3% in January-February. However, imports fell by 4.3%. The US has raised tariffs on Chinese goods to 145% after Beijing retaliated, with no exemptions for electronics, including semiconductor chips. President Donald Trump's administration has warned of a national security investigation targeting Chinese technology imports, increasing tension between the world's two largest economies.Teen Kills Parents in Plot to Assassinate Trump, Says FBIA 17-year-old Wisconsin student, Nikita Casap, has been arrested for allegedly killing his parents to fund a plan to assassinate US President Donald Trump, according to FBI documents. Casap faces nine felony charges, including two counts of first-degree murder and hiding a corpse. His mother, Tatiana Casap, 35, and stepfather, Donald Mayer, 51, were found dead on February 28.

Send us a textStep into the streets of Bangalore as veteran storyteller Arun Pai reveals how he transformed from corporate consultant to the city's premier walking tour guide. After six years in the business world, Arun boldly decided to create something entirely different—a premium walking experience that would reveal Bangalore's forgotten histories and global connections.What began as a simple observation during his time in London—that quality historical walks didn't exist in Indian cities—evolved into a two-decade passion project. Through meticulous research and countless hours exploring the streets, Arun uncovered fascinating stories that challenged the popular narrative about Bangalore's origins. "Bangalore has always been a global city. Always," he explains, pushing back against the idea that the city's significance began with the tech boom of the 1980s.Arun's methodical approach to entrepreneurship offers powerful lessons for anyone considering an unconventional path. Rather than seeking investor funding during the dot-com bubble, he committed to building slowly with his own resources, testing his concept with 100 participants before officially launching. For over a decade, he conducted walks every Sunday at 7 AM without fail, creating consistency in an industry where it didn't previously exist.The conversation explores how Bangalore's geography as a crossroads city shaped its development, why premium pricing signals value, and how Arun's specialized knowledge eventually led to representing Karnataka during India's G20 presidency. His journey embodies the philosophy he borrowed from cricket legend Rahul Dravid: "Just keep batting and things fall into place."Ready to discover the hidden stories beneath your feet?

Mohammed Hussain, a Mumbai-based stand-up comedian and writer, is celebrated for his engaging storytelling and observational humor, delivered in Hindi with a blend of anecdotal and dark comedy. Born in Karnataka to a Gujarati family, Hussain has been a staple in India’s comedy circuit since 2017, collaborating with giants like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hotstar on sketches, live shows, and promotional campaigns. His YouTube channel, Officiallysane, showcases his stand-up performances, including viral bits like his humorous take on trekking to Everest Base Camp.

In this deeply enriching episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, we delve into the transformative journey of Trishala Ashok—an award-winning jewelry designer turned conservation filmmaker and founder of True Story Media Productions LLP. Through an inspiring and heartfelt conversation, Trishala takes us on a voyage that beautifully bridges creativity and science, forging a path that is not just about capturing wildlife through the lens, but about safeguarding it through purpose-driven narratives. From the forests of Karnataka to the banks of the Girwa River and the unseen corridors of airport security, Trishala's commitment to ecological filmmaking has established her as a pioneer in the realm of biodiversity conservation.Her story begins in the world of shimmering gemstones and 3D-printed designs, but a fateful encounter with a tiger in Jim Corbett National Park changed everything. That single moment stirred something within—a deep calling that led her away from the glittering world of fashion to the raw, untamed wilderness of India's biodiversity hotspots. What followed was a courageous decision to abandon a successful business in jewelry design, and leap into the unknown world of conservation without a roadmap—armed only with passion, empathy, and an unwavering desire to make a difference.In this episode, Trishala opens up about her early experiences with wildlife rescue in Bangalore, where she worked with monkeys, black kites, lorises, and snakes. She shares riveting accounts of her collaborations with the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau and Karnataka Forest Department, tackling wildlife trade and urban wildlife rescues. These foundational years, filled with on-ground exposure and grassroots outreach, eventually gave rise to the storyteller in her—a voice determined to counter deep-rooted misconceptions about wildlife, particularly snakes, through the power of conservation filmmaking.Trishala's first film, DEFANG, born out of a need to debunk snake-related myths like the existence of the mythical "nagamani," marked her official entry into wildlife documentary filmmaking. Created in partnership with the Karnataka Forest Department and Kalinga Center for Rainforest Ecology, DEFANG not only garnered support from the highest forest authority but also signaled the beginning of her journey into biodiversity filmmaking. It's not just the subject matter that makes this documentary unique—it's the impact-driven storytelling that weaves science with empathy and curiosity with community action.From there, Trishala's work continued to evolve. One of her most notable contributions is a public service announcement featuring Gauri Shankar, a renowned herpetologist, and a young boy from a rural village. This short film reached thousands across Karnataka and successfully altered local perceptions about snakes—encouraging empathy, curiosity, and coexistence. In a moving anecdote, Trishala recalls returning to the village a year later to find local children guarding a burrow of snake eggs, a testament to the behavioral shift her work helped inspire. This moment solidified her belief that wildlife filmmaking can do more than just document nature—it can mobilize communities, change narratives, and ultimately protect species.Trishala's philosophy is rooted in the idea that storytelling should not end with the credits; instead, it should catalyze action. This belief inspired her to found True Story Media Productions LLP, a media platform focused not only on nature documentaries and sustainable filmmaking, but also on social change. At True Story, storytelling transcends screen time, extending into conservation outreach campaigns, policy change, and educational efforts. Whether working with schoolchildren or policy-makers, the mission remains the same: inspire action through compelling narratives grounded in truth.One of True Story's recent standout projects is Girwa ke Gharial, a short film blending fiction with conservation messaging to spotlight the critically endangered gharial in Uttar Pradesh. Featuring local children and forest officers as actors, the film connects audiences with the riverine ecosystem in a relatable and accessible way. Through engaging storytelling and community inclusion, the project helped redefine public attitudes toward gharials—prompting viewers to see them not as obscure reptiles, but as proud icons of their region's natural heritage.But Trishala's commitment to conservation extends beyond rivers and forests. In a groundbreaking new project titled Hidden Routes: Detecting Wildlife Crime Through Airports, she explores a darker, lesser-known side of conservation: wildlife trafficking. With a focus on training customs officers to detect illegal wildlife trade, this non-public film represents a pioneering step in biodiversity management. Drawing from nearly a decade of work with the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau and other enforcement agencies, Trishala's investigative lens now serves as a vital tool in safeguarding endangered species from organized crime syndicates.Another fascinating initiative she shares is an upcoming wildlife documentary on marine mammal strandings along the Indian coast. This film, made in collaboration with marine mammalogist Dipani Sutaria, is designed to educate coastal communities and fisheries departments in both Malayalam and English. By providing clear, culturally grounded guidance on how to handle strandings, the project exemplifies Trishala's unique approach to sustainable filmmaking: hyper-local, inclusive, and rooted in both science and storytelling.Also in the pipeline is a passion project centered on the enigmatic Indian chameleon. After three years of research and development, Trishala is finally moving into production on this highly anticipated 4K video that will highlight the ecological significance and conservation needs of this visually stunning yet vulnerable reptile. Through this project, she hopes to draw attention to a species that often goes unnoticed in mainstream conservation conversations.Throughout the episode, Trishala also reflects on the challenges and joys of being a female filmmaker in a niche, often under-resourced field. She talks about the technical hurdles of filming in remote locations, the difficulties of acquiring permits, and the unpredictable nature of shooting in the wild. Despite these challenges, she maintains that filmmaking—when done with integrity, vision, and community collaboration—can drive real-world impact.For aspiring filmmakers, she offers invaluable advice. She emphasizes the importance of knowing your gear inside out, even when projects are few and far between. She encourages budding storytellers to explore all aspects of ecological filmmaking, from scriptwriting to editing, directing to producing. By honing a broad range of technical and narrative skills, young filmmakers can build sustainable careers that both support and advocate for the planet.What sets Trishala apart is her refusal to compromise on emotional truth, even when facing logistical hurdles or skepticism from peers. In a moment of doubt during the production of Girwa ke Gharial, mentors advised her to simplify the project. But she stuck to her creative instincts, refusing to dilute the story for convenience. That leap of faith paid off when the film deeply resonated with its target audience—young children and local villagers who had never before seen their culture and environment reflected so vividly on screen.One particularly heartwarming story she shares is from her time volunteering with the Kalinga Center for Rainforest Ecology. While accompanying a film crew to document a king cobra, she spent days engaging with a family who initially wanted the snake removed. By the end of the week, their fear turned to fascination. One villager even suggested leaving curd rice at the snake's burrow, a traditional Indian gesture of care. This moment, rich in cultural nuance and personal transformation, exemplifies the kind of impact conservation filmmaking can have when it's rooted in empathy and respect.From addressing climate change to amplifying underrepresented voices in conservation, Trishala's work embodies a powerful synergy between media, science, and community. Her films are not just stories—they are instruments of change. With each frame, she invites us to see the world not only as it is but as it could be: interconnected, thriving, and deeply worth protecting.So whether you're a student of environmental science, an aspiring wildlife photographer, or simply a lover of stories that matter, this episode is for you. Join us in this immersive conversation with Trishala Ashok as we explore the evolving landscape of biodiversity conservation through the lens of one of India's most passionate and visionary storytellers.#conservationfilmmaking #conservation #wildlifephotography #wildlifefilmmaking #filmmaking #femalefilmmaker #naturedocumentary #wildlifedocumentary #biodiversity #sustainablefilmmaking #biodiversityhotspots #conservationoutreach #biodiversityfilmmaking #4kvideo #ecologicalfilmmaking #climatechange #biodiversityconservation #biodiversitymanagementMeet the HostAnish Banerjee: https://x.com/anishwildlifeThink Wildlife Foundation: https://thinkwildlifefoundation.com/Meet the GuestsTrishala Ashok: https://trishalaashok.com/Recommended Wildlife Conservation BooksWildlife Conservation in India by HS Pabla: https://amzn.to/3Ypx9ZhIndian Mammals: A Field Guide by Vivek Menon: https://amzn.to/4fhMiCLAt the Feet of Living Things by Aparajita Datta: https://amzn.to/3BZmtsN Get full access to The Think Wildlife Podcast at anishbanerjee.substack.com/subscribe

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain. Today is the 10th of March and here are the headlines.Proceedings in Lok Sabha resumed after being adjourned due to chaos over the PM SHRI scheme. Speaker Om Birla urged MPs to be seated and respect Parliament or face action. Meanwhile, the opposition staged a walk-out in the Rajya Sabha. Tensions are rising between the government and opposition, with concerns over electoral roll manipulation, violence in Manipur, and India's handling of the Trump administration. The government aims to secure Parliament's approval for grants, the Manipur budget, and the Waqf Amendment Bill.A fashion show in Kashmir's Gulmarg has sparked controversy, with Chief Minister Omar Abdullah saying his government had no involvement. The event, held during Ramzan, was criticized by Kashmir's chief cleric, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, who called it “outrageous” and “obscene.” Abdullah, responding to the criticism, expressed that the show disrespected local sensitivities during the holy month. The fashion show, organized to mark the 15th anniversary of designer label Shivan & Narresh, took place on snow-covered slopes of Gulmarg on Friday. Kannada actor Ranya Rao, arrested for smuggling 14.2 kg of gold worth Rs 12.56 crore, has links to a land deal in Karnataka. Rao was the majority shareholder of Ksiroda India, a company that received 12 acres of industrial land in Tumakuru from the BJP government in February 2023. Rao, also known as Harshavardini Ranya, was arrested at Bengaluru airport on March 3 by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI). A special court later handed her over to DRI custody for further investigation. Mark Carney, former central banker in Canada and the UK, has won the Liberal Party's leadership race and will replace Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister of Canada. In his victory speech, Carney stated, “America is not Canada,” stressing the differences between the two nations. He criticized the U.S. for its resource-driven ambitions and vowed that Canada would never be part of the U.S. Carney's comments on Canadian sovereignty highlighted his commitment to protecting the country's identity and way of life. Syria's new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, vowed to hunt down Bashar al-Assad loyalists after over 830 civilians were killed in brutal massacres on Syria's west coast. The deaths occurred from Friday to Saturday and targeted Alawite communities. Sharaa, whose rebel group, Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), overthrew Assad's regime in December, promised to hold those responsible for the violence accountable. His speech, broadcast on TV and social media, marked a firm stance against Assad loyalists amid escalating violence in the region.  This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by the Indian Express.
