VOV1 - Hôm nay (21/6), hàng triệu người dân tại Ấn Độ và nhiều quốc gia trên thế giới cùng tham gia các hoạt động hưởng ứng Ngày Yoga Quốc tế lần thứ 12.Phát biểu tại sự kiện quy mô lớn ở thành phố Kolkata, Thủ tướng Narendra Modi khẳng định yoga không chỉ giúp nâng cao sức khỏe thể chất và tinh thần mà còn là sức mạnh kết nối con người, các quốc gia và nền văn hóa trên toàn cầu.Thủ tướng Ấn Độ đã chủ trì sự kiện Ngày Yoga quốc tế lần thứ 12 trên tuyến đường Red Road nổi tiếng của Kolkata với sự tham gia của hàng nghìn người dân thuộc nhiều tầng lớp xã hội. Đây là hoạt động trọng tâm trong chuỗi sự kiện hưởng ứng Ngày Yoga Quốc tế năm 2026 được tổ chức trên khắp Ấn Độ và nhiều quốc gia trên thế giới.Phát biểu tại buổi lễ, Thủ tướng Modi nhấn mạnh yoga đã vượt ra khỏi phạm vi một phương pháp rèn luyện sức khỏe để trở thành cầu nối giữa các dân tộc và nền văn hóa trên toàn cầu: “Khi xã hội khỏe mạnh, quốc gia cũng trở nên vững mạnh, thịnh vượng và tự tin hơn. Hôm nay, cả đất nước và thế giới dường như được kết nối với nhau. Đó chính là sức mạnh của yoga. Yoga kết nối con người, đưa mọi người đến gần nhau hơn. Nhân dịp này, tôi cầu mong mọi người đều hạnh phúc; cầu mong mọi người đều không bệnh tật. Tôi xin gửi những lời chúc tốt đẹp nhất tới toàn thể nhân loại nhân Ngày Yoga Quốc tế.”Năm nay, Ngày Yoga Quốc tế được tổ chức với chủ đề “Yoga cho tuổi già khỏe mạnh”, nhấn mạnh vai trò của yoga trong việc nâng cao sức khỏe thể chất, tinh thần và chất lượng cuộc sống khi tuổi tác ngày càng cao.Thủ tướng Modi cho rằng mục tiêu của yoga không chỉ là kéo dài tuổi thọ mà còn giúp con người duy trì sự năng động, linh hoạt và khả năng chống chọi với bệnh tật trong suốt cuộc đời. Ông khẳng định yoga có thể giúp hạn chế các bệnh liên quan đến lối sống hiện đại, đồng thời cải thiện sức khỏe tinh thần và khả năng thích ứng với những thay đổi của tuổi tác.Người đứng đầu Chính phủ Ấn Độ cũng kêu gọi đưa yoga trở thành một phần trong cuộc sống hằng ngày của mỗi gia đình thay vì chỉ thực hành vào các dịp kỷ niệm. Theo ông, yoga không chỉ cần thiết cho sức khỏe cá nhân mà còn đóng vai trò quan trọng trong việc xây dựng một xã hội khỏe mạnh và bền vững hơn trong tương lai.Cùng với sự kiện chính tại Kolkata, các hoạt động hưởng ứng Ngày Yoga Quốc tế lần thứ 12 đã diễn ra sôi nổi trên khắp Ấn Độ, từ các thành phố lớn, trường học, doanh nghiệp, doanh trại quân đội cho tới những địa điểm di sản văn hóa nổi tiếng. Nhiều bang đã tổ chức các buổi tập yoga tập thể quy mô lớn nhằm lan tỏa thông điệp về lối sống lành mạnh và nâng cao nhận thức cộng đồng về vai trò của yoga đối với sức khỏe thể chất và tinh thần. Tại Odisha, chính quyền bang đã triển khai Tuần lễ Yoga, đồng thời đẩy mạnh ứng dụng công nghệ số để đưa yoga đến gần hơn với người dân ở khu vực nông thôn.Nhiều hoạt động yoga cũng được tổ chức tại các địa điểm mang tính biểu tượng của Ấn Độ như đền Mặt Trời Konark ở Odisha, các công trình di sản tại Agra hay các trung tâm văn hóa và tâm linh trên cả nước. Sự tham gia rộng rãi của các tầng lớp xã hội cho thấy yoga ngày càng trở thành một phần trong đời sống thường nhật của người dân Ấn Độ, đồng thời tiếp tục được Ấn Độ quảng bá như một đóng góp quan trọng của Ấn Độ đối với sức khỏe và phúc lợi toàn cầu.Yoga có nguồn gốc từ nền văn minh cổ đại của Ấn Độ và hiện đã trở thành một phong trào toàn cầu vì sức khỏe thể chất và tinh thần. Năm 2014, Đại hội đồng Liên Hợp Quốc đã thông qua nghị quyết lấy ngày 21/6 hằng năm là Ngày Yoga Quốc tế theo đề xuất của Thủ tướng Narendra Modi và lễ kỷ niệm đầu tiên được tổ chức vào năm 2015.Sau hơn một thập kỷ, Ngày Yoga Quốc tế đã trở thành sự kiện thường niên có sức lan tỏa rộng khắp, góp phần quảng bá các giá trị về sức khỏe, sự cân bằng và lối sống lành mạnh tới cộng đồng quốc tế./.Đình Nam/VOV-New DelhiĐông đảo người dân Ấn Độ tập Yoga.

Rajyasree: In this week's good news, there is a film that is not praising Modi-ji or bashing Pakistan which is being released, we were told. Abhinandan: Based on true events. Rajyasree: Ya, it's based on true events though. Abhinandan: In bad news, it is doing something that the other films are doing which is bashing Muslims. Rajyasree: But the good news is that the Muslim in question is my favourite, Salman Khan. Abhinandan: But in bad news none of the actors of the film seem to know that it was gonna show Salman in a bad light. Rajyasree: But in good news we don't know what will happen now. Abhinandan: But in strange news, Salman says his permission was not taken to make this film. Rajyasree: But it could be fiction, they should just say it's pure fiction. Why does he think Kala Hiran is about him? I would've said, “Sir, it is not about you.” Abhinandan: It could be about any Kala Hiran. Am I Kala or a Hiran? It could be based on you.

This week's show features stories from Radio Deutsche-Welle, France 24, NHK Japan, and Radio Havana Cuba. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr260619.mp3 (29:00) From GERMANY- An interview with Aksel Sundstrom a political scientist at the University of Gothenburg and co-author of a book entitled “Youth Without Representation.” They discuss the fact that most leaders in the world are twice the age of the average citizen and how this alters their priorities.

It has been noted that after a certain age politicians stop talking about the future. From FRANCE- At the G7 summit in France the leaders did not issue a joint comprehensive statement but did reaffirm some comments on Iran, Taiwan, and Ukraine. A professor from Kelo University commented on the G7 statement. Indian Prime Minister Modi agreed to strengthen ties with French President Macron and double bilateral trade. Modi also spoke with Trump about the three Indian crewmen murdered when the US military attacked a commercial NHK ship in the Strait of Hormuz. From JAPAN- An international press review on the agreement between the US and Iran. Ukraine launched the largest drone attack yet on Moscow, hitting stores, apartments, and another oil refinery creating severe pollution in the city- the NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte praised Ukraine for killing over 30,000 Russians per month. From CUBA- A Cuban delegation to the UN spoke out about eradicating global colonialism. The Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel expressed gratitude to Colombia for a shipment of 100 tons of humanitarian aid. The US military did a strike inside Venezuela to kill an alleged gang leader while continuing to attack boats alleged to be transporting drugs in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean. In Gaza Israel continues to carry out deadly attacks on Palestinians.

First, we speak with The Indian Express' Himanshu Harsh about the controversy surrounding Khan sir. Khan sir is one of the most popular educators and Youtubers in India, but recently his institute in Patna was allegedly attacked and vandalized. While the investigation was going on regarding the same, a FIR was also filed against Khan sir himself.Next, we speak with The Indian Express' Aditi Raja who shares the story of a tribal village in Gujarat where two pregnant women have died due to the lack of a constructed road. The village remains disconnected due to its tough terrain despite the state government promising them that a road will be constructed so that ambulances can reach the villagers. (10:43)Lastly, we talk about Prime Minister Narendra Modi becoming the longest continuously serving elected Prime Minister in India's history, completing 4,399 consecutive days in office.

In democracies, we typically assume that public opinion on issues like jobs, the economy, and inflation matter for shaping policy and politics. But opinions on foreign policy are often treated as the preserve of elites, especially in a country like India. Yet, it turns out that we know surprisingly little about what ordinary Indians think about foreign policy, how stable those views are, and whether they influence the choices that governments make. A new short book, Indian Public Opinion toward the Major Powers, tackles these questions by examining more than six decades of Indian attitudes toward the United States, China, and Russia. The book draws on a wide range of survey data to ask how Indians view the major powers, how those views have shifted over time, and what they reveal about democracy, accountability, and foreign policy in India. To discuss the book, co-authors Aidan Milliff and Paul Staniland join Milan on the podcast this week. Aidan is an assistant professor of political science at Florida State University. Many moons ago, he was a James C. Gaither Junior Fellow with the Carnegie South Asia Program. Paul is professor of political science at the University of Chicago and a non-resident scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The trio discuss the treasure trove of data on Indian public opinion the authors stumbled upon, the characteristics of India's “foreign policy public,” and the variation in Indian attitudes toward the United States, China, and Russia/the Soviet Union. Plus, the discuss why a respondent's region emerges as a strong predictor of one's foreign policy views.

Meanwhile, as Narendra Modi surpasses Jawaharlal Nehru as India's longest-serving continuously elected prime minister, Moneycontrol's editors assess the political, economic and social legacy of the Modi era. Also in this edition: rising retail participation in government bonds, India's energy-security rethink, GPUs as collateral for AI financing, and key developments across dealmaking, technology and global mobility.

The first is the Chenab-Beas Link Tunnel in Himachal Pradesh & the other is the Salal Dam rehabilitation in Jammu & Kashmir. #CutTheClutter Episode 1848 looks at the fineprint of these two projects with an outlay of around Rs 2,600 crore and why they have drawn a sharp response from Pakistan.

I ballottaggi di ieri dicono che c'è stato un sostanziale equilibrio: tre a tre, col centrodestra che ha strappato Lecco e il centrosinistra, come detto, Agrigento. La chiusura dello Stretto di Hormuz, che si protrae da mesi, stia ribadendo una costosa lezione geopolitica sui rischi connessi alla dipendenza dalle importazioni di energia.

This episode features a conversation with Prachi and Ram, organizers with Savera, a multiracial, interfaith, anti-caste coalition of Indian Americans and partners standing together in the fight against the rise of the transnational far right. After laying out Hindu supremacy as an ideology, we considered the different phases of consolidation of the Hindu right in the United States from its late 20th century orientation around homeland politics to its 21st century effort to forge a Hindu American identity, first through an alignment with U.S. civil rights organizations and then through a realignment with white supremacist forces. We delved more deeply into the role of caste within this formation, in particular the longstanding efforts of the Hindu right in both India and the U.S. to forge Hindu unity by opposing anticaste politics. This took us to a discussion of the Hindu right's embrace of the pro-Israel lobby's tactics, especially its weaponization of Hinduphobia as an echo of the weaponization of antisemitism, to battle criticisms of the Modi government in India, and the need to distinguish this from the real rise in both anti-Hindu and antisemitic sentiment. We ended with Savera's efforts to forge a broad-based antiracist, left majority as a counterweight to the multiracial far right.

Article 370: article of the Indian Constitution that granted a special autonomous status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir. This status was abrogated by the Modi government in 2019. CAA/NRC: the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) are policies introduced by the Modi government. The 2019 CAA fast-tracks the naturalization of populations identified as victims of persecution by Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan and explicitly excludes the eligibility of Muslims. The 2019 NRC aims to create an official record of legal citizens of India. Critics and human rights organizations argue that the policies together discriminate against Muslims. If a nationwide NRC is implemented, individuals who lack the required documentation to prove their citizenship could be excluded from the final registry. Because the CAA allows non-Muslims to claim citizenship if they fall through the cracks, Muslims left off the NRC list would face disproportionate risks of statelessness, detention, or deportation.

India's relations with Europe are often viewed through the lens of Brussels, Paris, Berlin, or London. But in recent years, India has also been deepening its ties with another important set of partners: the Nordic countries. Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi traveled to Oslo for the third India-Nordic Summit, bringing together India and the five Nordic countries—Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and Denmark. The agenda for the six countries was wide-ranging, covering trade, investment, green technology, maritime cooperation, the Arctic, and the Indo-Pacific. The visit also marked the first official trip by an Indian prime minister to Norway in more than four decades. As a result of the summit, Norway and India have elevated their bilateral relationship with new agreements on climate, technology, science, and the blue economy. To discuss what all of this means for India, Norway, and the changing global order, Milan is joined this week by May-Elin Stener, who serves as Ambassador of Norway to India, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and the Maldives. Prior to taking up this position, Ambassador Stener was the Deputy Director General of the Regional department in the foreign ministry. She has served as Norway's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations in New York as well as Deputy Head of the Norwegian Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa. She has been a member of the Norwegian Foreign Service since 1995. Milan and Ambassador Stener discuss the outcomes of the India-Nordic summit, the Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA), and the green technology partnership Norway envisions with India. Plus, the two discussed linkages between the Arctic and the Indo-Pacific and the controversy over a Norwegian journalist's questioning of Indian officials in Oslo.
