Reports in the Indian media say that investigators suspect a Delhi-based Kashmiri doctor was in the driver's seat. There's also been an explosion near a crowded courthouse in neighbouring Pakistan today.Also in the programme: voting is underway in Iraq to choose a new parliament as both Iran and the US vie for influence; the new research that suggests that speaking more than one language could delay the ageing process; and we speak to this year's Booker Prize winner.

//The Wire//2300Z November 10, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: TRIBAL TENSIONS INCREASE IN MINNEAPOLIS AFTER ELECTION LOSS. GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN ENDS AFTER FAA CLOSES AIRSPACE TO PRIVATE JETS. TERROR ATTACK IN INDIA KILLS 10X IN DELHI.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Caribbean: This morning the Pentagon announced two more kinetic strikes on narco-vessels in the eastern Pacific Ocean. 6x people were KIA as a result of the strike.India: This morning at least one (possibly more) Vehicle-Borne IED(s) were detonated at the Red Fort monument in Delhi. 8-10x people were killed during the attack, and dozens more wounded. Reports initially stated that one VBIED was the primary attack vector, however throughout the day reports emerged that up to 3x separate VBIEDs might have been involved. However, it is not clear as to if these other vehicles exploded because of their proximity to the original blast seat, or if they were separate VBIEDs altogether. The American Embassy in Delhi has issued a security notice, warning of additional attacks. Indian authorities have also observably increased security at other sites around the country, and 3x people have been arrested in conjunction with the attack.Analyst Comment: The culprit of the attack is not yet known. The choice of target, Red Fort (an old fortification from the Mughal Empire) doesn't really provide any indication either, since there's nothing really that political about the site. Some locals have claimed that the entire affair was not a terror attack, but an industrial accident. Considering the social media situation at present, it's not possible to determine the truth of the matter. However, the US State Department immediately issuing a travel notice indicates that this probably wasn't an accident.Right now it looks like this was a genuine terror attack, and this target was chosen simply due to this monument being a popular site among locals; there are always large crowds at this venue and it's very easy to get a vehicle in the middle of a crowd there. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, however lately Indian officials have been cracking down on ISIS-K militants which have been aided by Pakistan. In short, India backs the Taliban in Afghanistan, while Pakistan backs ISIS-K (which oppose the Taliban) in Afghanistan as well. As such, it's very likely that this attack is the latest development in the proxy war between the two nations, which has become increasingly more complicated over the years. India will be quick to blame Pakistan (which is probably not completely inaccurate), but at this point the entire proxy war between the two nations is so muddled that it's hard to discern who did what.-HomeFront-Minnesota: Following the loss of Omar Fateh in his race for Mayor of Minneapolis, tribal conflict has begun to simmer in the city. In a speech that was given in the Somali language only, Rep. Ilhan Omar expressed hostility towards the members of other Somali clans, which sided with Omar's opponent during the election. She openly called for casting out these other tribes from Minneapolis, and chastised those who translated her speeches into English...and thus revealing what she said.Utah: A large high-density housing complex under construction burned down yesterday. A catastrophic structure fire was reported at the facility under construction in Lehi, in the Traverse Mountain area. No cause of the fire has been released, but the facility burned completely to the ground.Washington D.C. - The FAA has announced more airspace restrictions due to the shortage of air traffic controllers. Private planes have been banned from 12x major airports around the country, in an effort to reduce the strain on control towers, most of which are running skeleton crews during off-peak hours. Shortly after the announcement of this policy was posted by the National Business

A blast near Red Fort on Monday has claimed 12 lives and several others have been injured.

Send us a text We visit Delhi, Agra, and Mumbai with linguist and educator Dr. Jilani Warsi.Old Delhi draws us into the Red Fort's vast red sandstone walls, the bustle of Jama Masjid, and the color and flavors of Chandni Chowk where chai, sweets, and silks leave their mark. We balance that with New Delhi's calm and the Lotus Temple's open welcome to all faiths, then look upward at Qutub Minar's 12th-century tower, a vertical timeline of early rule and artistry. Along the way, we share on-the-ground advice: why to skip driving yourself, how to group sites to save time, and where an evening light-and-sound show still brings the past to life.Agra reframes the journey around love and power. The Taj Mahal becomes more than a postcard as dawn light turns marble rosy and the close-in inlay work reveals delicate stone flowers. Across the Yamuna River, Agra Fort holds Shah Jahan's final vantage point, a story you can feel when a small mirror catches the mausoleum's glow. A short hop leads to Fatehpur Sikri, where Hindu and Islamic design blend into one living compound, proof that style can be a bridge across belief.Mumbai changes the tempo again: Marine Drive's night shimmer, the Bandra-Worli Sea Link stretching like a lit ribbon, and the gravitational pull of Bollywood's studios and theaters. We leave the skyline by boat for Elephanta Island, where ancient cave temples to Shiva offer a cool breath and timeless stonework. Between stops, we chase flavor—kebabs, biryani, and samosas, and share simple ways to eat well and safely where the locals line up.Whether you're planning your first India itinerary, refining a return, or just enjoying armchair travel, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review so others can find it too._____Dr. Jilani Warsi, born a two-hour drive from Mahabodhi Temple in Gaya where Buddha reached Nirvana, grew up in a multilingual environment and teaches at Queensborough Community College in New York.

As the capital of the world's largest democracy, Delhi embodies the essence of modern India – a vivid paradox of old and new, rich and poor, foreign and familiar. It's been fourteen years since my last visit and the economic transformation is ever-present. High rises, swanky malls and residential colonies housing the booming middle-class are mushrooming everywhere. As my engaging Wendy Wu Tours guide Girish remarked, as we were whisked into the city from the airport, “Delhi is more than a mere city, it has morphed into the national capital region.” With the metropolitan population now nudging 30 million, Delhi is a megalopolis and on-track to becoming the world's most populous city in three years' time. Our hotel was in New Delhi, the more modern, planned city within a city, that was built by the British in 1911 and replaced Kolkata as the national capital, twenty years later. In a city notorious for its air pollution, which is supposedly steadily improving, one of the great paradoxes of New Delhi is that it's also swathed in a sprawling green canopy. It's arguably the greatest legacy from British rule, because the new city was deliberately, meticulously planned to be nestled within a vast green cover, fanning out from Connaught Place on those broad long avenues. Large-canopy trees like banyans, mango, and pilkhans were selected by the British, while indigenous trees ideally suited to the climate have added to the canopy in recent decades. That sprawling tree cover is certainly a godsend from the fierce Delhi heat. Delhi's contradictions abound. You'll still see working elephants trudging along traffic-clogged roads, as fire-engine red Ferraris zip by. Handwritten posters singing out, “Customs confiscated goods sold here,” still compete next to glossy fashion billboards for Gucci and Prada. It's all part of Delhi's curious fabric. The city is littered with so many crumbling tombs and ruins, most of them are not even on the tourist map. But if you are a first-timer to the city, signature sights include marvelling at the sheer grace of the soaring Qutb Minar Tower. It was built 800 years ago by the Turkish Slave King Qutb-ud-din Aibak to celebrate his victory over the Hindu Rajputs. Wander through the sculptural Jantar Mantar, a huge, open-air astronomy observatory built in 1725 by Jai Singh, creator and ruler of Jaipur. Admire the 16th-century garden tomb of Mughal Emperor Humayun, precursor to the Taj Mahal, which was built by Humayun's great-grandson. Over in Old Delhi, two Mughal-era masterpieces, the imposing Red Fort (which was the Mughal seat of power for 200 years) and Jama Masjid, India's largest mosque. Both sandstone show-stoppers are definitely worth exploring. The mosque was commissioned by Shah Jahan in 1656 and it took 5000 labourers 6 years to complete. Within its hallowed walls lie sacred relics like Prophet Muhammad's hair. Beyond ticking-off the capital's great monuments, heading to Old Delhi is like a journey back in time. The beating, chaotic, carnival-like heart of Old Delhi is Chandni Chowk, Delhi's 400 year old marketplace that was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. The market has been redeveloped to tame some of the chaos, including some fully pedestrianised streets and non-motorised transport lanes. But as I gazed at the spaghetti-like tangle of street wiring that garlands the crowded market lanes, there's no denying the ramshackle, faded glory feels amid this pulsating hot-spot of old-school commerce. Be sure to get your fill of jalebis from a street food vendor. Made from a deep-fried spiral-shaped wheat flour batter, which is then soaked in a sugar syrup, a plate of piping hot, crispy, sticky jalebis is a very satisfying sugar hit. We enjoyed a classic rickshaw ride through the throng of traders, shoppers and wandering cows, all heaving in those pencil-thin lanes. Girish also led us through the Khari Baoli Spice Market in Chandni Chowk, positively bulging with so many spices, nuts, herbs, pickles, preserves, rice and teas. Renowned as Asia's largest wholesale spice market, it's an aromatic head-blast. Shops and stalls bulge with heaping mounds and baskets of over a hundred different spices, headlined by turmeric, cardamom, coriander, star anise, ginger and cumin. Just as they have for hundreds of years, shoppers, dealers and chefs converge here every day to haggle and hustle. Many vendors have been peddling their wares for generations. Dawdle too long in front of a stall, and traders with huge sacks of chilis or cardamom pods will soon bump you out of their way. One of the oldest and tidiest shops is Mehar Chand and Sons. They've been in business since Queen Victoria ruled over them. And it's a great place to stock up on packaged spices, tea and saffron. Anshu Kumar, who is part of the family that has owned the shop since its inception, tells me that one of their biggest sellers with international visitors is turmeric, powered by the world's booming love-affair with this powerful superfood and supplement. (Their packaged products are allowed in New Zealand – just be sure to declare them.) Heading back to the hotel, we also stopped by the Indian parliament and sized up the monolithic might of India Gate. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, this monstrous landmark is more than just a stunning feat of architecture—it's a poignant memorial to the 70,000 Indian soldiers who laid down their lives during World War I and the Third Anglo-Afghan War. Beautifully illuminated after sunset, street food vendors and ice cream carts line the area, swathed in sprawling lush gardens. The great thing about a Wendy Wu Tours private holiday is that you have complete flexibility over how much temple-touring and sightseeing you want to do. Equipped with your own driver and guide, it's a stress-free way to tackle Delhi. The itinerary can be as active or as laid back as you are, with full flexibility over included meals and excursions. You'll be in the best of hands with Wendy Wu Tours. www.wendywutours.co.nz/india Nothing beats retreating to a leafy oasis of eminent comfort and style after a hot, sticky day intrepidly gorging on the city sights. Nestled along the tree-lined boulevards of Connaught Place, Shangri-La Eros New Delhi, is a five-star hotel with serious wow-factor. From the moment you step inside the grand art-filled lobby, you know you are somewhere special. Service is swift, sparkling, flawless and convivial. It's the epitome of affordable luxury, with sharply-priced room rates that won't blow your budget. Push the boat out and lock in a Horizon Club room or suite. That will give you access to the hotel's cherry on top, the 19th floor Horizon Club lounge, allowing you a quick check-in, breakfast, evening cocktails and light bites. Plus panoramic views of the city's skyline. The hotel's arsenal of dining venues is very impressive. Head to Mister Chai for some authentic Indian street food coupled with flavoured tea and coffee. There is Tamra serving European, Japanese, Indian, Thai and Southeast Asian fare from live kitchens. “Lavish” doesn't do justice to the expansive array of buffet options at Tamra for breakfast. Sorrento specialises in Italian food with a contemporary twist and Shang Palace offers flavours of Sichuan, Cantonese and Yunnan cuisines. This is a signature dining venue in Shangri-La hotels and Shang Palace is widely feted as the world's most loved Chinese specialty restaurant. Dining here was divine, noshing on prawn dumplings with caviar; Xinjiang spice twice cooked baby lamb ribs; and the Cantonese BBQ platter. Shang Palace is a must. Celebrating it's 20th birthday this year, Shangri-La Eros is not the sort of hotel to rest on its laurels. And with wellness offerings continuing to be increasingly sought after, the hotel recently unveiled a wealth of enticing new amenities. The Wellness Club boasts offers over 4,000 square feet of world-class fitness space, advanced recovery therapies, a 100-feet outdoor swimming pool, salon, spa, and a calming hydrothermal zone featuring a cold plunge, Himalayan salt sauna, whirlpool, and steam. What more could you want for personal pampering? The Wellness Club seamlessly blends conscious luxury with modern wellness. Designed by Dubai's Stickman Tribe, Dubai, the interior is bathed in natural hues and hand-painted art. Calming music sets the tone for a serene escape with gilded details and reflective surfaces lending a touch of grandeur to the venue. The Spa has become a runaway hit with custom-crafted amenities to indulge the senses. Signature rituals include the Taste of India Retreat, Signature Indulgence, and a Couple's Serenity Bath, crafted to nourish the body and calm the mind. But my favourite hotel feature is the enormous new pool. Tranquil corridors lead you outdoors to the gloriously leafy green space, crowned with that magnificent pool and elegant sun loungers. As black kites circled high above in the sky, and mischievous rhesus macaques swung between the trees – much to the annoyance of nesting rose-ringed parakeets, marinating myself in the hotel's glorious pool became a rinse-and-repeat prize draw. www.shangri-la.com From New Zealand, it's just a one-stop connection to a multitude of destinations in India, including New Delhi, with Singapore Airlines, on their various daily services from Auckland and Christchurch to Singapore.

Neoborn Caveman unleashes a caveman-sized takedown of hatred's toxic grip on our fractured world—from Chinese botnets fueling Middle East rage to Eurovision boycotts turning art into a battlefield. We dissect the "spherical attack" on humanity: plastic-saturated clothes seeping into our bloodstreams, data-hoarding blood banks eyeing your DNA for 30 years, and air pollution blackening icons like Delhi's Red Fort and the Taj Mahal (spoiler: it's not your campfire's fault). But fear not—this isn't doom-scrolling; it's a rallying cry for radical positivity.

I blundered and started working on the wrong episode. I can't cover the Red Fort without having first talked about the Taj Mahal because that's getting Shah Jahan, Mughal Emperor's life all caddywampus, and we can't have that. If you have been to the Taj Mahal, please let me know!! I'd love to chat with you!

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Red Fort Security Breach Days Before I-Day A “dummy terrorist” from Delhi Police's Special Cell walked into the high-security Red Fort with mock explosives during a drill — reaching the children's enclosure, taking selfies, and leaving unnoticed. This marks the third lapse in recent drills ahead of Independence Day. The man scaled a wall near Nishad Raj Road, loitered in the VIP seating zone, and exited before the breach was reported to police HQ and the PM's Security Unit. No action has been taken yet. Last week, seven policemen were suspended over illegal Bangladeshi nationals and live cartridges found near the fort. Pakistan Army Chief's Nuclear Threat in US During a black-tie dinner in Tampa, Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir warned, “If we're going down, we'll take half the world down with us.” Reviving tensions over the suspended Indus Waters Treaty, he accused India of risking famine for 250 million Pakistanis and vowed to destroy any Indian dam with “10 missiles.” On his second US visit in two months, Munir met top US military leaders. India's Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi called him a “Failed Marshal” and urged scrapping cricket ties with Pakistan. Trump's 50% Tariff Hits India Hard India now faces the highest US tariff rate — 50% — more than China's 30% and Vietnam/Bangladesh's 20%. Exports in gems, jewellery, textiles, and some foods have stalled. Bloomberg Economics projects a 60% fall in US-bound exports and a 1% GDP hit. The Nifty 50 is down 7% from its peak, with potential for a 10% drop if tariffs persist. Analysts warn Trump's unpredictability, high market valuations, and foreign investor exits could prolong the pain. The tariffs could also fuel US inflation, risk stagflation, and keep Fed rates high. Experts say the trade war could last until the 2026 US midterms. British F-35's Second Emergency Landing A British F-35B fighter jet made an emergency landing in Kagoshima, Japan, after a malfunction, briefly shutting the runway. Just two months earlier, another British F-35B made an emergency landing in Kerala due to a hydraulic fault. Two landings in two countries in eight weeks raise questions about the reliability of one of the world's most advanced — and expensive — fighter jets. Tata's Battery Arm Gets Chinese-Owned Partner For the first time, Tata Group acknowledged a Chinese-owned company in its flagship battery venture. Japan-based AESC Group, owned by China's Envision, bought a 12% stake in Agratas Energy Storage Solutions for ₹66 crore in March; Tata Sons holds the rest. AESC's general counsel, Gordon Louis Chin, joins the board with Tata chairman N. Chandrasekaran and Tata Motors CFO P.B. Balaji. Agratas is building 60GWh of gigafactory capacity in the UK and India to supply Jaguar Land Rover and Tata Motors. AESC, one of the world's top 10 EV battery makers, could give Agratas access to proven tech and global supply chains — critical as Chinese export curbs hit rare earth magnets Learn more about your ad choices.

For the next few days, you can listen to a couple of stories every single day.And That's because on our podcast we will have some special storytellers!! We have middle and high school students who through the summer have been learning about how to craft their own stories and then produce them on a podcast.Free activity sheet available at www.rituvaish.com/podcast-summer-camp. Let's give a warm welcome MihikaTranscriptOnce upon a time, there were two girls living in Mexico, Anna and Bella. They were best friends and did everything together. They went on trips, played, and went to party together. If one couldn't go somewhere, other wouldn't go either. One day, they made plans to go to India. It's gonna be so fun! I just know it! Bella Said with Joy. Let's get our visa's right now!! Anna I said. They booked their flight and got their visas. Few days later, they were about to board their plane, when Anna realized she had left her boarding pass and she didn't have a phone for her identification, so Bella boarded the player and Anna went back home, tears rolling down her cheek.The next day, Anna found her ticket and boarded another plane to India. Oh no! Anna a thought, worried. How will I know where Bella is? When she got off the plane, she found a piece of paper which looks like an itinerary. It was in Bella‘s handwriting! She had planned four destination. Taj Mahal, Charminar, Red Fort and the India Gate. Those sound-like interesting places! Anna thought. She bought four bus tickets and used one for the first destination, Taj Mahal. She couldn't find Bella there. Anna felt sad. But she quickly cheered herself up by thinking ,well, Bella must have moved on.Hmmm…. What is the next destination? She checked the itinerary. Charminar! The next day, she used another bus ticket to go to Charminar. She couldn't find Bella there either. The following day, she missed the bus, so used the last one for the last destination. The India Gate. This time she came early at around 4 AM. She went to a nearby hotel and slept there for sometime. When it was time for breakfast, she saw Bella at the other end of the dining Hall.Anna came over to Bella. Hey Bella! Bella was surprised. What? How did you come here? How did you find me? Anna smiled. I came on another flight, and I found your itinerary. Wow! Bella said. Let's go home now, you must be exhausted.

In the early hours of Wednesday, May 7—well past midnight—India launched a precise, 23-minute military operation targeting nine sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. These locations were reportedly strongholds of two of the world’s most notorious terror groups: Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. Indian Rafale jets deployed SCALP and HAMMER missiles in the strikes, in what appeared to be a retaliatory act not only against the recent Pahalgam attack, but against a long history of terror incidents—Red Fort, Parliament, Mumbai train blasts, Pathankot, Uri, Pulwama—stretching back to the Kargil conflict. According to Indian government sources, over 100 militants were killed in the strikes. Pakistan launched a retaliatory attack using drones and missiles, reportedly aimed at as many as 15 cities across northern India. The Indian government stated that all incoming threats were intercepted, primarily using its S-400 air defence systems. India then escalated further, crossing deeper into Pakistani territory than ever before. It neutralized an air defence radar installation in Lahore and conducted operations in sites at Sialkot and even near Islamabad. This marks a significant shift in India’s military posture—from punitive strikes to potentially pre-emptive warfare. As the lines blur between militants, soldiers, and civilians, critical questions emerge: Is this the new normal in India’s security doctrine?

In this gripping episode of History Rage Live, host Paul Bavill welcomes back historian and author Phil Craig to dive deep into the complexities of the Far East during the Second World War. Phil, a familiar voice from the podcast, returns to discuss his upcoming book, "1945: The Reckoning," set to release on April 24th. Together, they unravel the tangled narratives surrounding Subhas Chandra Bose and the Indian National Army, challenging the glorified myths that have emerged around his legacy.Key Discussion Points:The Controversial Legacy of Subhas Chandra Bose: Phil critiques the idolization of Bose, arguing that his alliances with Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan overshadow his contributions to India's independence.Real Heroes of Independence: The episode contrasts Bose's actions with those of General Kodendira Sabaya Thimaya, who played a crucial role in the Indian Army's efforts against the Japanese forces, highlighting the often overlooked figures in the fight for freedom.The Role of Propaganda: Phil discusses how the narrative surrounding Bose has been shaped by media portrayals, including a recent Amazon Prime series that romanticizes his life while ignoring the darker truths.Red Fort Trials and Their Impact: The conversation examines the significance of the Red Fort trials in shaping public perception of Bose and his lieutenants, as well as their implications for Indian nationalism.Modern Relevance: Paul and Phil explore how Bose is perceived in contemporary India, particularly in the context of political figures like Prime Minister Modi, and the implications of celebrating a controversial figure.Guest Information:Pre-order Phil Craig's book "1945: The Reckoning" here: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/10120/9781399714495Follow Phil on Twitter: @philmcraigCheck out the Scandalmongers podcast on YouTube and your favorite podcast platforms.Support History Rage: For just £3 per month on Patreon or Apple, enjoy early access to episodes, ad-free listening, and exclusive content.

Lastly, social media can help by using WhatsApp groups to get firsthand information from locals. Today's destination: Delhi, India Part 1 My visit to Delhi, or New Delhi, India  Which is it? New Delhi when referring to the specific district that serves as India's capital. New Delhi is a planned city developed during British rule and officially designated as the capital in 1931. Delhi refers to the larger metropolitan area, encompassing both New Delhi and other historical and residential parts like Old Delhi, which includes the Red Fort and Jama Masjid. Delhi is the correct term when speaking broadly about the city and its culture, so we will use that one here. After two weeks in India, visiting four southern cities, I flew north to Dehli from Goa, barely missing the seasonal monsoons. My flight had a Female co-pilot who Said hello to me with a big smile, which made me happy to see a woman pilot there.   The flight attendants checked my boarding tickets. Again, getting off the plane! That was a first. Who checks them getting off the plane? Should I take a Bus, train, or taxi to Agra? Even after arriving, I could not decide. I was overwhelmed with the decisions, but I knew I had to get there.  A taxi costs at least $6000 rupees each way, maybe more. Although this sounded like a lot, it was only $72 USD. Bus or train may be best. However, the temperature is

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Friday, 16 August 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started. When ChrysCapital's executives flew to Pune during the covid-19 pandemic, they were looking to invest in FirstCry, a baby products giant founded by Supam Maheshwari. They were struck by Maheshwari's modest office—a sharp contrast to the flashier setups of many new-age entrepreneurs. This meeting led to a 315 million dollar investment in the startup, boosting its valuation to nearly 2 billion dollars. Maheshwari, an introvert unlike the more outspoken Bhavish Aggarwal of Ola Electric, strategically builds businesses with an eye on the long game, focusing on deep market understanding rather than just following trends. Mint's startup reporter Sneha Shah explores the journey of Maheshwari, who has founded three unicorns - FirstCry, Xpressbees and Globalbees.  Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation for the 11th consecutive time from the Red Fort on Independence Day. In his first speech since assuming office for the third time, the prime minister spoke for 98 minutes, making it his longest Independence Day speech. He laid out many ambitious plans, from adding 75,000 medical seats over the next five years to ramping up India's renewable energy capacity to 500 gigawatts by 2030. Modi emphasized revamping agriculture with a big push towards natural farming, with plans to use advanced tech like drones, Dhirendra Kumar writes. He's also got his sights set on making India a powerhouse in semiconductor manufacturing to cut down on imports and boost self-sufficiency.  At IIMs - India's top management institutes -  students are facing a stagnant job market where median salaries haven't budged much.  Median pay - the salary a middle-ranked candidate would get - has stagnated. This is despite the continuous rise in tuition fees due to operational costs. For example, at IIM-Kozhikode, the median salary has been stuck at 27 lakh rupees for the past couple of years. This stagnation is attributed to global economic uncertainties and a cooling job market following the pandemic hiring spurts, reports Mint's Devina Sengupta. Despite this, institutes are revising their curriculums and infrastructure to better align with industry needs and ensure robust placement outcomes in the future.  India's law ministry is taking a big step towards transforming the country into a top spot for global arbitration. Mint's Manas Pimpalkhare reports that the ministry wants to streamline processes and cut down on the hefty legal bills the government faces as the country's most frequent litigant. They're studying how places like Singapore and the UK handle arbitration to figure out what changes are needed back home. One of the main goals is to speed up how arbitral awards—decisions made outside of court—are enforced, as Indian assets often get bogged down in other legal tangles, which slows things down. Indian liquor brands like Amrut, Rampur, and Indri are making a splash on the global stage, catching the eye of the growing Indian diaspora and other premium spirit lovers around the world. In fiscal year 2023-24 alone, overseas shipments of alcohol jumped to a cool 400 million dollars. Whisky's leading the charge with a whopping 67% surge in exports since fiscal year 2019-20, hitting about 5.8 million cases, writes Mint's Varuni Khosla. Radico Khaitan and Allied Blenders are at the forefront of this trend. Radico's not just winning over folks with its Rampur Indian single malt and Jaisalmer craft gin, but it's also now selling in over 100 countries. The buzz is spreading to beer, too. Goa's Latambarcem Brewers has started shipping their Maka Di Beer to the US, and Delhi's Medusa beer is setting sights on the UK.  Show notes: Inside the reticent mind of FirstCry's top bee—Supam MaheshwariPrime Minister Modi's I-Day speech: 75k medical seats, renewable energy goals and moreIIM grads get a reality check in a tight job marketIndia aims to be global arbitration hub.

This week, The Musafir Stories speaks with Vishnu Menon, a traveller and a student of History, as he takes us to Old Delhi aka Shahjahanabad!  Today's destination: Old Delhi! Nearest Airport: Indira Gandhi International airport (DEL) Nearest Railway Station: New Delhi  Railway station (NDLS) Prerequisites -  NA Packing - Good walking shoes, water to stay hydrated, umbrella, shades Time of the year - Oct, Feb, Mar Length of the itinerary: 3-5 days Itinerary Highlights:  Vishnu starts by covering the history and background of the 7 cities of Delhi, and why it was so important over the years We focus our discussion on Shahjanabad or current day Old Delhi, Delhi 6.  1. Lal Kot / Qila Rai Pithora - settled by the Tomars and the Rajputs, including Prithviraj Chauhan 2. Siri - In 1192, Mohammad Ghori defeated Prithviraj, and left the region to his slave and commander, Qutbuddin Aibak, who built the city of Siri, which was also used and consolidated by the Khilji dynasty.  3. Tughlaqabad -  4. Jahanpanah - Ghiyassudin Tughlaq's impressive fort-city, which can still be visited, was cursed from the start, and his successor Mohammad bin Tughlaq fortified the walls of Qila Rai Pithora and Siri, and encapsulated them into a new city: Jahanpanah 5. Firozabad/ Feroz Shah Kotla - His successor, Feroz Shah Tughlaq, was the first to build a fort along the Yamuna, recognized as the fifth city of Delhi. Feroz Shah's city was humongous by the standards of the day, extending from the Northern Ridge (where the other Ashokan Pillar stands) to Hauz Khas 6. Shergarh - Then, Sher Shah Suri, upon defeating Humayun in 1540, returned to Indrapat, a purportedly ancient village, and built his city, Shergarh, at the same site. 7. Dinpanah  - Humayun came to power in 1555, and added to that, building the Purana Qila as his city, Dinpanah.Shah Jahan's great-grandfather, Humayun, too, had built a capital city there—Dinpanah, which later came to be called the Purana Qila or ‘Old Fort'.  8. Shahjahanabad  - Shahjahan was the next Mughal to reign from Delhi, and gave it the most recent historical city,Shahjahanabad. Northward along the Yamuna, it had fourteen gates, and enjoyed the Golden Era of Mughal rule. It continued to serve as the Mughal capital until the end of the dynasty in 1857, in the decades before which it saw a brilliant cultural renaissance, a time of high etiquette, courtly graces and flourishing literary and music culture. We talk about the main structures around which Shahjahanabad is structured - Red Fort and Jama Masjid We also speak about the different developments that came up between and around these structures including Chandni Chowk, mosques, temples, markets, food streets, nature and much more.  “Link to episode on Mangalore with Sampath Menon” - https://open.spotify.com/episode/1vVloNSFG0deaMUzzSuhUk?si=ia9whfB6Q4ePm7ZgKt5F8Q  Links: Link to Vishnu's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charithra.sanchari/ Photo by Sergio Capuzzimati on Unsplash Follow the Musafir stories on: Twitter : https://twitter.com/musafirstories?lang=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themusafirstories/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/musafirstoriespodcast/?hl=en website: www.themusafirstories.com email: themusafirstories@gmail.com Do follow IVM Podcasts on social media.

This week on NL Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Raman Kirpal, Jayashree Arunachalam and Anand Vardhan are joined by author Tushar Gandhi. The conversation begins with Tushar recounting the police action against the silent march in Mumbai to commemorate the Quit India Movement, and the “insecurities” of the Maharashtra government. The panel divulges how a peaceful march is perceived as more dangerous by the state than one involving hate speech and people armed with weapons. The discussion stirs to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day speech, which Abhinandan views as “pale” and “a bit under confident” in comparison to his earlier speeches. “Even an Independence Day speech is not about the nation, it is about Modi's electoral prospects,” says Tushar, while the panel highlights the significance of Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge's absence from Independence Day celebrations at Red Fort as a mark of protest. Dwelling into the times of the independence movement, Tushar talks about his great grandfather Mahatma Gandhi's relations with noble laureate Rabindranath Tagore. He also sheds light on how Maharashtrians view “Bapu” and the manoeuvres to show Gandhi and Ambedkar as adversaries. Jayshree asks Tushar about the fake news and hate campaigns against Gandhi. Abhinandan delves into how Indian history has suffered from a chronic ignorance of truth. Meanwhile, on the floods and the consequent devastation in Himachal Pradesh, Raman highlights the inadequacies of Modi's Har Ghar Nal campaign, and the purported absence of scientific approach in the infrastructure projects in the sensitive Himalayan region.

Due To Fear of Modi Congress Boycotts Independence Day at Red Fort: मोदी का डर या देश के प्रति घृणा?

Listen to the latest SBS Hindi news from India. 16/08/2023

The heavy rains that hit Delhi last week might well be the result of climate change. But the deluge that followed — the intense flooding in areas of north and east Delhi, including the Red Fort and Ring Road — was intensified by administrative negligence & apathy. In Ep 1273 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta talks about the Yamuna, its course from the Himalayas to Delhi, and why the flooding was not nature's wrath alone.  @CoorgWildernessResort 

The phrase, "There's a sucker born every minute," is attributed to P.T. Barnum, but it could be about this episode: We're talking about con artists who swindled people into buying some really famous landmarks. George C. Parker sold the Brooklyn Bridge. Among Victor Lustig's most audacious scams was when he sold the Eiffel Tower. And a man known as Natwarlal made a name for himself selling the Taj Mahal among other famous landmarks in India. Let's look at what happened when each of these guys dipped a toe into real estate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Punjab ci vivono più di 30 milioni di persone e da secoli è considerato una delle zone più fertili di tutta l'Asia Meridionale. Ma il Punjab è anche la terra del sikhismo, un tratto identitario enorme, diventato collante di una generazione di giovani disillusi e con la sensazione di essere stati abbandonati dal governo centrale. E così negli anni, diverse persone hanno tentato di fornire una soluzione tra richieste di autonomia, di indipendenza e soprattutto di una vita migliore. Ma chi ci ha provato è diventato il nemico numero uno del governo centrale indiano.

Twitter è uno dei social più utilizzati in Asia, il Giappone è il secondo paese al mondo per numero di iscritti. Ma in Asia il Twitter di Musk dovrà affrontare alcune prove del fuoco. Intanto con la Cina, paese con cui Musk ha interessi economici fortissimi con Tesla, il cui mercato principale è proprio la Cina: pur essendo censurato da Pechino Twitter ospita molti giornalisti e funzionari cinesi che hanno già chiesto a Musk maggiori “tutele”. Musk, capo di Tesla, influenzerà Musk, capo di Twitter? E poi c'è l'India, un paese che da tempo prova a imporre ai social le proprie regole nazionali forzando la policy delle singole piattaforme. In questo caso Musk dovrà vedersela con Narendra Modi. Da queste “prove” capiremo che importanza hanno per Musk la libertà di espressione e la tutela dei diritti umani.

75 years ago, Jawaharlal Nehru had addressed the nation from here as he laid the foundation of a new nation. And this Monday, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the country from the ramparts of the Red Fort, he laid the foundation of the next 25 years. The sky was overcast with a slight nip in the air. Wearing a tricolour turban, PM Modi asked people to focus on 'Panchpran', or five promises. First, to move forward with bigger resolves and the resolve of a developed India. Second, to erase all traces of servitude. Third, to be proud of India's legacy. Fourth, to focus on India's unity, which is its strength. And fifth, to fulfil the duties of citizens with honesty.   But what is the ground situation like? A comparison with the developed countries shows that the government has a long road ahead if it wants to turn India into a developed economy within the next 25 years. In 2021, India's per capita income, calculated in international dollars based on purchasing power parity, at 7,333.5 dollars was less than half of China's in 2021. It was a seventh of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries' per capita income of 48,482.1 dollars. OECD is a group of developed economies. While India's per capita income grew at double the rate of OECD nations in the last 25 years, it would need to grow at 12.4 percent consistently to catch up to OECD countries within the next 25 years. It will have to grow at 8.2 per cent just to reach the level at which they are today.   India will need to take similar leaps to catch up when it comes to social indicators too. The infant mortality rate-- the number of infant deaths per 1,000 live births -- reduced from 76 in 1996 to 27 in 2020, but it was still over four times the OECD average of six. At the current pace, India will only be able to achieve an infant mortality rate of 10. Similarly, life expectancy at birth would have to increase faster than it did in the last 25 years to reach OECD levels. At the current pace, it would fall short of OECD economies. India added nine years to life expectancy for both males and females between 1995 and 2020. Prime Minister Modi also listed equality, specifically equality for women, as one of the five pledges citizens must take. It is a pledge that will challenge the nation on many fronts. One of the bleakest spots is the Female Labour Force Participation Ratio. It has dropped sharply and steadily in the last decade and a half, from 32 per cent in 2005 to just 19.2 per cent in 2021, although the latest data is a small recovery from 18.6 per cent – the lowest in 32 years -- in the first pandemic year of 2020. However, it is not all gloom. In the recently concluded Commonwealth Games, 40 per cent of India's medallists were women, though that is lower than the 46.4 per cent in the 2002 Games. The new clarion call given by the Prime Minister will call for all levels of government, both Centre and state, and all sections of the citizenry, irrespective of caste, creed or religion, to work hand in hand. While policies and their effective implementation will be the primary levers to achieve this goal, ensuring unity, and thus, a unified purpose, should be the first step towards 'Mission 2047'.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged citizens to focus on five resolutions to make India a developed nation in the next 25 years. It was the key highlight of the PM's speech which he gave from the ramparts of the Red Fort on the 76th Independence Day on Monday. So, how will the country and its economy have to perform to achieve this ambitious goal by 2047?  He had a penchant for risk-taking, and carried an air of optimism around him. He was a living embodiment of calmness in a volatile market. Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the nation in paying tribute to ace investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala-- who died at the age of 62 on Sunday. We have a glimpse of the ace investor's journey.   A widely-shared video of Jhunjhunwala says a lot about his indomitable spirit. Bound to a wheelchair and suffering from a serious ailment, Jhunjhunwala couldn't stop himself when someone tuned in famous Bollywood item number Kajrare. He almost leapt out of the chair while dancing. His sudden death has left the entire investor community in a state of shock. Let us now move on to India Inc's struggle with inflation. Companies hiked prices to cushion their margin. But it hit the volumes, especially in the rural markets. With the commodity prices cooling off, will the upcoming quarters be better for India Inc.? Or will global growth risks keep the ride bumpy?  The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) recently disallowed the use of Letters of Comfort (LoC), which may impact loans worth Rs 35,000 crore. So what is this letter of comfort? Find out in our next episode of the podcast.   

Do you want to take a virtual tour of Delhi's Red Fort, almost as if you were actually strolling among its palaces, pavilions and mosques? You can do just that thanks to Google Street View. Such a tour is made possible because Street View is a virtual representation of your surroundings on Google Maps, made up of millions of panoramic images. Google Street View provides the viewer with interactive panoramas from different positions along streets across many parts of the world. Basically, you get a 360-degree view of streets, tourist spots, and landmarks. Launched in 2007 in a number of cities in the United States, it has since expanded worldwide, including even rural areas. If Street View imagery is available for a certain street, then it is shown as a blue line on Google Maps. The interactive panoramas are made up of VR photographs that have been stitched together. While most of the photography is done by car, everything from camels, boats, and snowmobiles to good old foot-power has also been used. So, how did Google manage to finally bring back this feature to India? Street View is coming to India after changes in the country's geospatial guidelines. In February 2022, the Department of Science and Technology had released guidelines for geospatial data.  The policy restricts foreign firms to an accuracy of 1 metre. It also mandates that such companies will have to use application programming interfaces from authorised domestic licensees. As a result, the collection and ownership of data will remain with local entities. However, under the new guidelines, Google is allowed to collect and use geospatial imagery in India through partnerships with local firms. The policy even identifies excluded areas like government and military locations, thus resolving security concerns.  So, this time, Google has launched Street View in India in collaboration with Tech Mahindra and Genesys International, a mapping and geospatial company. This is the first time that the service will be handled completely by local partners. Street View will be available in India with imagery licensed from the local partners. To begin with, the service will cover over 150,000 kilometres across ten cities. And, the plan is to expand the service to more than 50 cities by the end of 2022.

PM Modi's Red Fort speech referencing Aurangzeb's tyranny against Guru Tegh Bahadur and Pakistan PM Imran Khan's several references to the betrayal of Siraj ud-Daulah by Mir Jafar might be made in different contexts but have one important similarity. In Episode 987 of Cut The Clutter, Shekhar Gupta explains the deeper political meaning behind both leaders' evocation of the subcontinent's history.    

Earlier, before the British rule, India was known for its gold and rich natural resources. Therefore many foreign countries captured India and ruled over her for years. Every year on August 15th, Indians all over the world celebrate its Independence Day - the day that commemorates the end of 200 years of British rule. On this day in 1947, India was declared a free country after years of struggle and sacrifice by our great freedom fighters.  In 1617, India was ruled by the Mughals, and during that time the British India Company first came to India to fix a trade between Mughal India and England. In 1757, British rule in India began, following by the East India Company's victory at the Battle of Plassey,  gave them control of the country. Indians revolted against the Britishers as they did not want to be their slaves and fought for the freedom of India. Several revolts and fights such as Revolt of 1857, Quit India Movement, The Champaran Satyagraha of 1917, and many more collective efforts led to a  new Independent India. Our first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, delivered a speech on the woke of Independence Day that began as, “At the stroke of midnight, when the world sleeps, India shall awake to life and freedom.” Every year, we commemorate Independence Day by singing the national anthem, flag-raising ceremonies are held across the country, drills are conducted. People make an effort to dress in national or regional attire to honor their country and culture. The prime minister takes part in a flag-raising ceremony and a parade with the personnel of the military forces and police at the Red Fort. Schools and colleges celebrate this day by parade, cultural activities, speech and quiz competitions, and more.   Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradio See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
