These profound practice teachings on freeing the mind from being ruled by thought, as taught by Sri Ramana, were taken from various sources/texts.Ramana Maharshi ( 1879 -1950) was an Indian sage and jivanmukta (liberated being). He was born Venkataraman Iyer, but is mostly known by the name Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. He was born in Tiruchuli, Tamil Nadu, India. In 1895, an attraction to the sacred hill Arunachala and the 63 Nayanmars was aroused in him and in 1896, at the age of 16, he had a "death-experience" where he became aware of a "current" or "force" which he recognized as his true "I" or "Self".

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.

Article 143 of the Constitution allows the President to seek the Supreme Court's opinion on matters of law. This provision has been invoked by President Droupadi Murmu to raise 14 questions on a recent Supreme Court judgement. It concerns a case filed by the Tamil Nadu government against its Governor, who had withheld assent to 10 bills indefinitely. The Supreme Court has ruled in favour of the Tamil Nadu government, laying down a three-month timeline for Governors and the President to act on Bills passed by the State legislatures. The larger context of this development is the ongoing tussle between the Union government and Opposition-ruled States, with many wondering if this Presidential reference represents a political pushback from the Union government. Historically, what has been the logic for such references? How is this particular Presidential reference different in its substance from a review petition? Is the Supreme Court bound to take it up or can it decline the reference?

This is the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I am Ichha SharmaToday is 28th of May and here are today's headlines.The Congress has renewed its call for President's Rule in Manipur after fresh violence in Jiribam and the resignation of BJP MLA Ashab Uddin. Party spokesperson Supriya Shrinate alleged that the N. Biren Singh-led government had failed to maintain law and order, calling the administration “invisible.” The opposition said the constitutional machinery had collapsed, with thousands still displaced since the 2023 ethnic clashes. The BJP, meanwhile, has defended its state government's handling of the situation.And from Manipur, we turn to Assam, where a legal battle is unfolding over alleged police encounters. The Supreme Court has stayed proceedings initiated by the Assam Human Rights Commission into 183 alleged fake police encounters that occurred between May 2021 and June 2022. A petition filed by a senior advocate claimed the panel had no jurisdiction, as many of the cases were already pending before courts. The Commission had asked Assam's top police and home officials to respond to its notice. The apex court has now called for affidavits from all parties within three weeks.Next, in Tamil Nadu, a remark by actor Kamal Haasan has sparked a linguistic and political row. Speaking at a Tamil Sangam event, Kamal Haasan claimed Tamil predates Kannada, citing a 2,500-year-old Tamil inscription. Karnataka BJP leaders sharply objected, accusing him of stoking regional discord. CT Ravi and Basanagouda Patil Yatnal called the comment disrespectful. Haasan later clarified that he was referencing historical records, not undermining any language.Two men in Kerala's Palakkad district have been arrested for assaulting a 24-year-old tribal man, alleging he had stolen a hen. A video of the attack, which took place on May 18 in Malampuzha, surfaced online, prompting public outcry. The accused were identified and booked under various sections, including those of the SC/ST Atrocities Act. Police confirmed the victim belongs to the Irula tribal community.Two Indian-origin men in the US have been sentenced to 33 and 63 months in prison for their role in a human smuggling operation. The case involved a family of four from Gujarat who died from exposure near the US-Canada border in 2022. The smugglers charged up to $100,000 for illegal crossings and had arranged the family's final, fatal attempt near Manitoba.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express

En el Radar Empresarial de hoy analizamos la nueva fórmula de Apple para sortear las sanciones arancelarias de Donald Trump. La compañía de la manzana apuesta cada vez más por la fabricación de Iphones en la India: según datos de la firma de análisis Canalys, los envíos de Iphones desde la India aumentaron un 76%. Parece claro que la tecnológica quiere asentarse en el país en detrimento de China. De hecho, los envíos desde el Gigante Asiático cayeron también un 76% en el mismo periodo. Es una tendencia que empezó a verse el mes pasado, cuando por primera vez se ensamblaron más productos en India que en China. Pero por mucho que Apple piense que de esta forma podrá esquivar las tarifas arancelarias parece que la Administración Trump tiene otros planes. El viernes pasado el presidente estadounidense ya amenazó con imponer un arancel del 25% a todos los envíos que lleguen fuera de Estados Unidos. El mandatario dejó claro que espera que los productos se consuman en Estados Unidos se fabriquen en el país, algo que ya apuntó hace dos semanas. Para Trump es algo normal que se enmarca dentro de la lucha de los intereses nacionales del país. En la misma línea piensa uno de sus asesores, el director del Consejo Económico Nacional, Kevin Hassett. Para él, una de las claves es no depender tanto de China. Sabemos la opinión del gobierno estadounidense pero ¿Qué piensa China? En enero Bloomberg ya se hizo eco de informes locales de que el país iba a intentar frenar la producción de productos de compañías extranjeras en la India. Entonces el país asiático estaba frenando la salida de trabajadores cualificados al país. Además, también se buscaba frenar el envío de tecnología, vital para el ensamblaje de los Iphone. Una de las grandes damnificadas entonces era Foxconn, que no pudo enviar sus trabajadores a sus plantas de la India pero ahora podría pagar el pato Apple. Y es que recordemos que el socio principal en el país de la compañía es Foxconn. A pesar de todo esto, desde Canalys apuntan que la demanda se desacelerará ya que no podrá llegar a cubrir toda la demanda. ¿En qué momento podría igualar la demanda en la India? Según la firma de análisis la demanda de iPhones en EEUU es de aproximadamente 20 millones por trimestre, por lo que se estima que India podrá igualar ese nivel en 2026. Clave para esto será la gran inversión de 1500 millones de dólares que hará Foxconn en la región de Tamil Nadu, según el Financial Times. Aquí inaugurará una instalación de módulos de pantalla.

Join us on this special episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast as we journey deep into one of India's most overlooked ecological marvels — the Eastern Ghats. Known as a biodiversity hotspot, the Eastern Ghats are a treasure trove of hidden gems waiting to be discovered. From rare mammals and elusive reptiles to ancient forests and unique conservation challenges, this episode is your gateway to understanding the conservation of the rich Eastern Ghat biodiversity through the eyes of local conservationist Murthy Kantimahanti, founder of the Eastern Ghats Wildlife Society.What makes the Eastern Ghats Biodiversity so unique? Stretching from Odisha to Tamil Nadu, these ancient, fragmented hill ranges are home to species found nowhere else on earth. Discover the flora and fauna of Eastern Ghat, including endangered animals like the Indian pangolin, the world's smallest wildcat — the rusty spotted cat — and apex predators like leopards and tigers. The region is also one of the few strongholds of the majestic king cobra and rare birds such as the double-banded courser, all thriving amidst a patchwork of dry deciduous forests, rocky outcrops, and sacred groves.This podcast delves into real-world biodiversity conservation as Murthy discusses his grassroots efforts to protect these fragile ecosystems. Hear about community-led efforts tackling human-wildlife conflict, addressing snakebite mitigation, and launching rescue initiatives for pangolins and snakes. The episode showcases how biodiversity management isn't just about saving wildlife — it's about fostering ecology-driven coexistence between humans and animals.As Murthy explains, Eastern Ghats conservation is riddled with landscape-level threats: illegal mining, deforestation, slash-and-burn cultivation (Podu), habitat loss, roadkills, and wildlife trafficking. Yet, despite these challenges, he and his team have launched pioneering programs that document animal presence, conduct training for forest officials, and educate local communities. From camera traps to GIS analysis, their work exemplifies hands-on, scalable conservation.Learn how fear was transformed into respect through the King Cobra Conservation Program. Discover how hunters were trained into rescuers and how communities now call the society instead of killing snakes. Explore their innovative use of behavior change strategies to reshape perceptions and reduce conflict with animals like elephants, otters, and bears.Conservation is not about social media pictures or one-time cleanups. As Murthy passionately states, it's about “getting your hands dirty,” building trust with communities, and creating real change. Whether it's through ecological research, education, or direct action, their work epitomizes what grassroots conservation in a biodiversity hotspot should look like.If you're passionate about wildlife conservation, regional biodiversity, or curious about lesser-known ecological treasures of India, this is the episode for you. It's a tribute to the wildlife of the Eastern Ghats — the resilient species, the people protecting them, and the conservation strategies driving change in one of India's most critical yet under-recognized ecoregions.Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more thought-provoking conversations on biodiversity and wildlife conservation.

Citações e trechos do livro “The Teachings of Ramana Maharshi in His Own Words”, de Ramana Maharshi.Ramana Maharshi (1879-1950), nascido Venkataraman Iyer, foi um dos mais venerados sábios da Índia. Nascido em Tiruchuli, Tamil Nadu, viveu uma infância comum até, aos 16 anos, experimentar uma profunda transformação espiritual ao confrontar a ideia de morte. Essa experiência o levou à realização do verdadeiro Eu e à renúncia de sua vida mundana. A partir disso ele se estabeleceu na montanha sagrada de Arunachala, onde passou o resto de sua vida em meditação e transmitindo ensinamentos, atraindo discípulos de todo o mundo.Ramana ensinava a prática do “Atma-Vichara”, “Self-enquiry” (auto-inquirição ou auto-investigação), baseada na pergunta “Quem sou eu?”. Ātmā Vicāra (विचार), é um termo sânscrito que significa o processo de investigar quem realmente somos, a investigação sobre a Natureza do Ser. Esta técnica é a que melhor exemplifica o Jñāna Yoga, o Yoga do conhecimento sobre Si Mesmo.Ramana destacava que a libertação espiritual surge da dissolução do ego e da realização da unidade com a Consciência universal. Seus ensinamentos enfatizavam a simplicidade, o silêncio e a experiência direta como caminhos para a Autorrealização, rejeitando práticas ritualísticas e dogmas religiosos.Seus ensinamentos transcendem fronteiras culturais e religiosas, inspirando buscadores espirituais em todo o mundo. Seu Ashram de Arunachala continua sendo um centro de aprendizado e prática, e suas ideias sobre introspecção e paz interior permanecem profundamente influentes.

Summer hits different when you're Tamil. In this breezy, nostalgia-soaked episode, RJ Sandy joins Rick Sanchez and Kakuzu under the metaphorical thanneer panthal to rewind time and revisit the golden days of school-time summers in Tamil Nadu. ☀️From ice paal and rosemilk at roadside bunk shops to scorching afternoon cricket on melting tar roads, this episode is packed with memories that smell like nannari syrup and sound like radio jingles from the 2000s.

Asserting that no place in Pakistan remained safe for terrorists, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday told soldiers at the Adampur air base in Punjab that India's drones, and missiles gave sleepless nights to Pakistan. His speech came a day after his first public address since India launched Operation Sindoor. PM Modi also reiterated the new 3-point doctrine he had unveiled a day earlier, including that New Delhi will no longer tolerate nuclear blackmail. During his early morning visit to Adampur, the Prime Minister hailed the Indian Air Force personnel, saying that they made every Indian proud, and had created history. Modi got briefed by the Air Force personnel on the situation, and also interacted with jawans. Meanwhile, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh held a key briefing with military chiefs on Tuesday, with the CDS, Army Chief, Navy Chief, Vice Air Chief and Defence Secretary in attendance.India's Operation Sindoor precision strikes destroyed nearly 20% of Pakistan Air Force infrastructure and multiple fighter jets, official sources said Tuesday. The strikes targeted key bases like Sargodha and Bholari, which housed F-16s and JF-17s, in retaliation to Pakistani drone and missile attacks. Over 50 people, including Squadron Leader Usman Yusuf, were killed in Bholari. India also hit ammunition depots and several other airbases across Pakistan. Satellite imagery confirmed major damage. The strikes mark a significant strategic and psychological blow to Pakistan's military capabilities.In a verdict six years in the making, the Mahila Court in Coimbatore on Tuesday convicted all nine accused in the 2019 Pollachi sexual assault case and awarded them life imprisonment. The nine men were found guilty of multiple charges, including criminal conspiracy, sexual harassment, rape, gangrape, and extortion. The incident, which came out just weeks before the 2019 general elections, led to Tamil Nadu's then ruling AIADMK getting politically cornered with allegations of inaction and links to the accused. President Droupadi Murmu has sought the Supreme Court's opinion under Article 143(1) on whether timelines can be legally imposed on the President and Governors for acting on state Bills. This comes after the Court, in April, set a three-month deadline for the President to act on Bills referred by Governors, despite no such timeline existing in Article 201 of the Constitution. The Court stated that delays beyond this period must be explained to the concerned state. The President now seeks clarity on whether these directives are justiciable.Following India's move to place the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) in abeyance after the Pahalgam terror attack, Pakistan has shown willingness for talks for the first time. Pakistan's Water Resources Secretary Syed Ali Murtaza has reportedly responded to India's notification and offered to discuss New Delhi's specific objections. India's decision came in response to the attack, which heightened diplomatic tensions. The IWT, signed in 1960, governs water sharing between the two nations. Pakistan's response marks a rare shift, potentially opening the door to dialogue amid ongoing hostilities.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, also known as MBS, has greeted Trump upon arrival in Riyadh. US President Donald Trump was greeted by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to the sounds of a 21-gun salute and trumpets.

Ube, the photogenic purple sweet potato from the Philippines, has been trending gradually in the United States. It got a boost recently when it made it onto the menu of the three Starbucks Reserve Roastery locations in Chicago, New York, and Seattle where it's added to a coconut cold foam and spooned over an Espresso Martini.Pat Cobe, senior menu editor of Restaurant Business, and Bret Thorn, senior food & beverage editor of Nation's Restaurant News and Restaurant Hospitality, discussed the ube phenomenon, which also came up in Pat's conversation with the operators of Tous Les Jours, a Korean-based pastry concept that's growing quickly in the United States. Pat said they see ube and another trending Asian ingredient, matcha, as points of distinction for the brand.Speaking of trends and Korean food, Bret went to a preview of a collab between fast-casual salad chain Sweetgreen and fine-dining Korean steakhouse Cote. Sweetgreen has collaborated with fine-dining chefs in the past, including Dan Barber of Blue Hill and Nancy Silverton of Mozza, and this new one features Korean sauces and marinades that are used in three limited-time offers: Two salads and a more substantial plate.The LTOs expand on Sweetgreen's introduction of steak last year—another trend in fast-casual restaurants. While chicken, always popular, is gaining even further traction at limited-service restaurants, Pat and Bret discussed how steak really shines as LTOs, including these new ones at Sweetgreen and the Steak Stroganoff at Noodles & Company, which was discussed during that chain's recent earnings call as a reason for the fast casual's relative success during the first quarter. Bret also sampled the returning Campfire menu at Cracker Barrel. It's become a harbinger of summer for the chain, which this year added a shrimp skillet with andouille sausage to the lineup. Bret also shared an interview with Indian chef Rasika Venkatesa, the former chef de cuisine of Mourad in San Francisco, who is now in New York City operating a series of pop-ups called Mythili, named for her grandmother. Venkatesa discussed her approach to cooking Indian food, and shared how she collected recipes from villagers from throughout the state of Tamil Nadu.

C'est un phénomène planétaire, les villes s'étendent, car elles attirent de plus en plus de monde. Depuis 2008, plus de la moitié de la population mondiale est urbaine, bientôt les deux tiers, annoncent les experts de l'ONU ! Mais qu'est-ce qui nous donne envie de vivre en ville ? L'accès facilité à l'eau, à l'électricité, aux infrastructures de santé et d'éducation et aux emplois qui peuvent permettre une ascension sociale. Mais les mégapoles qui abritent plus de 10 millions d'habitants ont aussi leur face sombre : leur gigantisme consomme énormément de ressources planétaires qui ne sont pas illimitées et elles sont au quotidien oppressantes, minérales et polluées. D'ailleurs, d'autres modèles du vivre ensemble émergent.Avec Guillaume Faburel,géographe et professeur à l'Université Lyon 2, auteur de Indécence urbaine - Pour un nouveau pacte avec le vivant (Flammarion, 2023). Et le reportage de Côme Bastin sur le plus ancien et le plus grand éco-village du monde : Auroville, en Inde :L'expérience singulière d'Auroville naît en 1968 dans le sud-est de l'Inde, dans l'État du Tamil Nadu, près de Pondichéry. Des centaines de volontaires d'Inde et du monde entier ont répondu à l'appel d'une mystique franco-indienne : Mira Alfassa, qui rêve d'une ville dédiée à la spiritualité et l'écologie, où l'argent, la propriété et la nationalité n'ont pas d'importance. Avec des hauts et des bas, ces pionniers vont transformer un plateau désertique en un havre de verdure et expérimenter de nouvelles formes d'architecture et de vivre ensemble, sous la protection bienveillante de l'État indien. Enfin, ça, c'était jusqu'en 2021. Car depuis trois ans, l'État indien a entrepris de reprendre en main Auroville et sa communauté, jugées un peu trop cosmopolites et baba cool. Cette émission est une rediffusion du 21 février 2025.

This week on Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Raman Kirpal, Manisha Pande, and Shardool Katyayan are joined by Semafor's business reporter Rohan Goswami and political consultant and federalism expert Tara Krishnaswamy. On Trump's flip-flop on tariffs and the escalating trade war with China, Rohan says: “Trump created tremendous panic. He got what he wanted. World leaders are calling and begging him... but a 90-day pause is not enough.” He highlights that, unlike the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis, America's current market chaos is a “self-inflicted situation”.Manisha analyses the common threads between Narendra Modi's demonetisation policy and Trump's tariffs. Shardool adds, “Trump is famous because he is funny. He should be made the TV-President because he understands TV best.”The panel also discusses the Supreme Court's scathing remarks about the Tamil Nadu Governor earlier this week. Tara remarks,“The time has come to either define the Governor's role – starting from appointment to powers – in a bilateral manner, or abolish the position and assign its duties to the appropriate authorities.”Raman adds, “The battle between chief ministers and governors has increased tremendously since 2014.”This and a lot more.

Free-range eggs and chicken have been gaining popularity for a while. The practices involved in producing and raising them are considered more humane. The market for humane meat has been growing slowly but steadily. Reports suggest that a majority of the country eats eggs, chicken, or meat. Shouldn't we care about how the animals that reach our plates are raised and killed? It's not a question with easy answers.Today, consumers are becoming more aware of the conditions in which the eggs and meat they consume are produced. They are making a conscious choice to seek out spaces that treat these animals well before they become a means of our sustenance.Should meat and fish eaters be willing to pay a premium to ensure the animals that we consume – or whose products we consume – are treated as ethically and humanely as possible? How big is this market? How fast is it growing? How should we think about it? Or should we take the lazy route and laugh it off as an oxymoron?Episode 33 of Two by Two, hosted by Rohin Dharmakumar and Praveen Gopal Krishnan, aimed to find an answer and explain how it makes sense.And they were joined by four wonderful guests for the discussion.Our first guest is Dineshkumar Shanmugam, the co-founder and CEO of Earthy Origins, a Tamil Nadu-based farm-to-table startup that grows, raises, and sells organic food products and ethically raised chickens and free-range eggs.Our second guest is Sandeep Reddy, the CEO of India Animal Fund, a nonprofit that brings together a diverse mix of leaders from the corporate and animal welfare sectors to take a strategic look at ending all forms of animal harm. They believe that doing the most good means minimising the suffering of the most vulnerable, that is, animals. Our third guest is K Vijay, the Bengaluru-based founder of another meat startup, Meatright.Our final guest is Shan Kadavil, co-founder and CEO of Freshtohome, one of the leading online sellers of meat and fish in India. We've interviewed Shan for First Principles, The Ken's leadership podcast. His clarity of thought around setting up and scaling an online meat business in India was amazing.

Tamil Nadu's political landscape is heating up as Annamalai takes on MK Stalin in the ongoing language war, challenging Dravidian politics with a nationalist counter-narrative. Meanwhile, the delimitation issue remains a non-starter, failing to gain traction despite attempts to stir controversy. The Tukde Tukde gang's agenda also faces a major setback, as nationalist forces push back against divisive politics. Sanjay Dixit breaks down Annamalai's strategic moves, the language debate's impact on Tamil Nadu's politics, and why the delimitation issue is failing to take off.

The logo, featuring the slogan "Ellorkkum Ellaam" (Everything for Everyone), was unveiled by Chief Minister M K Stalin's office on Thursday.

The investigation had raised significant political and procedural concerns.SBI Chairman: India Needs 8% Growth for Progress Despite SlowdownChalla Sreenivasulu Setty, Chairman of the State Bank of India (SBI), emphasized that India must target an 8% growth rate for sustainable progress. While the current growth rate of around 6% is a concern, Setty argued that it may be a temporary slowdown and not a reason for alarm.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Ichha Sharma.Today is the 7th of March and here are this week's headlines.Starting in the news from the North, Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha reaffirmed his government's commitment to restoring full statehood for the union territory. Speaking at the opening of the Budget Session, he acknowledged the emotional and political significance of statehood to the people of J&K and emphasized ongoing efforts to engage stakeholders. Sinha stated that the government is working to address the people's desires while ensuring peace, stability, and progress. His remarks come as political activity in J&K intensifies, with opposition parties challenging the government on sensitive issues like Article 370.Now, from news in the South, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin led an all-party meeting that unanimously rejected the upcoming Parliamentary constituency delimitation process, set for 2026. The resolution passed in Chennai argued that the process would weaken Tamil Nadu and threaten India's federal structure. It claimed that basing the delimitation solely on the upcoming census population data would harm the political representation of Tamil Nadu and other South Indian states, especially those with successful population control measures.In another news making headline, Kannada film actress Ranya Rao was arrested at Bengaluru International Airport for allegedly attempting to smuggle 14.2 kg of gold worth ₹12.56 crore. The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) conducted a raid at her residence, recovering jewellery valued at ₹2.06 crore and ₹2.67 crore in cash.

Zelenskyy acknowledged the challenges of his meeting with US President Donald Trump but reaffirmed Ukraine's openness to constructive dialogue. He emphasized that Ukraine's position needs to be heard. The minerals deal was seen as a step towards strengthening security ties between the two nations. However, tensions over peace talks with Russia have led to growing frustrations between the US and Ukraine.New 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico and a 20% tariff hike on Chinese goods have sparked trade tensions between the US and its top three trading partners. Canada quickly retaliated, announcing tariffs on $20.7bn worth of US goods, with further measures planned if Trump's tariffs remain. China also imposed additional 10%-15% tariffs on US imports, alongside export restrictions on US entities, escalating the trade conflict. These tariffs came into effect immediately, adding strain to global trade.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express

It claimed that basing the delimitation solely on the upcoming census population data would harm the political representation of Tamil Nadu and other South Indian states, especially those with successful population control measures.US President Donald Trump targeted India's high tariffs during his speech to Congress, signaling limited room for concessions in ongoing trade talks. He specifically criticized the auto sector, where India charges tariffs exceeding 100%. Trump announced that reciprocal tariffs, set to take effect on April 2, would penalize India for high tariffs by imposing equivalent trade barriers. He emphasized a tit-for-tat approach, accusing India of using non-monetary methods to limit US market access.Kannada film actress Ranya Rao was arrested at Bengaluru International Airport for allegedly attempting to smuggle 14.2 kg of gold worth ₹12.56 crore.

Prasun Dey, Romi's husband and a businessman, confessed to killing the three, whose bodies were found in a house in the Tangra area. The investigation indicated that the financial burden drove Prasun to commit the murders, which occurred on February 19 in a shocking crime that has rocked the city.After the US imposed new tariffs, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called President Trump's decision “a very dumb thing to do.” In a speech, Trudeau expressed disagreement with Trump's policies, criticizing the tariffs and warning that they would only play into the hands of global adversaries. Canada retaliated with tariffs on $30 billion worth of US goods and threatened further measures within 21 days. Trudeau confirmed Canada would challenge the tariffs at the World Trade Organization.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by the Indian Express.

This week on Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Raman Kirpal, Jayashree Arunachalam, and Shardool Katyayan are joined by Nitin Pai, director of Takshashila Institution, and The News Minute's Shabbir Ahmed.The panel first discusses the inception and functioning of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) – a new department set up by the United States government and headed by tech billionaire Elon Musk.Nitin says the reason behind something like DOGE “is not just efficiency.” “The ideological reason is to create a government full of people who will act according to the rules of Donald Trump,” he says, adding that federal government employees were laid off en-masse to create fear and uncertainty in the minds of rank and file civil servants. On the importance of “small governments,” Shardool says that any system meant to be working fairly working for citizens will be complex. “Mandates given to governments are not for them to run in a fiscally efficient manner, but to run fairly and independently,” he adds. Jayashree then delves into the ongoing “language wars” between the Tamil Nadu government and the union government over the National Education Policy's three-language formula. “The implication that Hindi means the extermination of a local language is true,” she says. Shabbir adds that the union government demands the NEP to be accepted in its entirety: “The problem the TN government has is that NEP is a uniform policy on education, but education is in the concurrent list. States were not consulted before forming it.”This and a lot more. Tune in!We have a page for subscribers to send letters to our shows. If you want to write to Hafta, click here.
