Instead of hosting weddings in foreign lands go for 'Weddings in India.' 4. Refrain from buying gold unless absolutely necessary.

THE COPS SAW THE DANGER. DID CJP LOOK AWAY? NEW VIRAL VIDEO DOING THE ROUNDS appears to show New Delhi DCP Sachin Sharma and Joint CP Deepak Purohit repeatedly warning CJP leaders Saurabh Das and Abhishek Ranka that the Jantar Mantar protest was spiralling out of control. The officers point out there were no volunteers to manage the swelling crowd, caution that "criminal elements" had entered the gathering, and say they had been urging the organisers for days to take corrective action.

Religion first not Rashtra? THE ONLY MUSLIM MLA IN GUJARAT ASSEMBLY DECIDED TO SIT DOWN WHEN VANDE MATARAM WAS SUNG Listen to Imran Khedawala's justification:"I want to tell you that this was the Assembly's monsoon session. It is a three-day short session, and today, 'Vande Mataram' is sung at the beginning. At that time, when 'Vande Mataram' was being sung, I was also standing. I stood for the entire 'Vande Mataram' that Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Maulana Azad, Babasaheb Ambedkar and Rabindranath Tagore used to sing in 1937, and I respectfully sang all the verses of 'Vande Mataram'. But I opposed the addition of the verses that have now been made by the Bharatiya Janata Party because my ideology is associated with the Congress party, and I am not associated with the ideology of the Bharatiya Janata Party..."

"I AND ITALY NEVER BEG" MELONI SLAYS TRUMP AFTER HE SAY: "Meloni? She begged me for a photo, I felt sorry for her" Giorgia Meloni's rasping response: "Donald Trump's statements are completely made up, I'm frankly appalled. I don't know why the President of the United States behaves this way with his own allies; after all, it's not the first time it's happened. I can only say it's a shame that he doesn't show the same determination with the enemies of the West, with the enemies of the United States, with leaderships toward which he instead proves much more accommodating; however, one thing he must remember: I and Italy never beg."

IT WAS MODI'S BOLDEST GAMBIT. A MESSAGE TO TRUMP. But DELHI MEDIA under played the CRUCIAL MODI-PEZESHKIAN MEET at SCO. U.S. has blundered. It has caused INDIA TO BEGIN DERISKING FROM D.C. NOW, after MODI has thrown down the gauntlet the U.S. is defensive. Secretary of State Rubio is asked about Modi's decision to trade with Iran and he waffles. Rubio: I don’t think India and Iran are doing a trade deal. All countries have their own foreign policy and talk to Iran. America has also met with Iranians..."

INDIA NEEDS TO WATCH THIS HIMALAYAN FLOOD WAVE! A major flood has entered Nepal’s Bhote Koshi from the Tibetan side, triggering alerts across the Trishuli basin. Bhote Koshi becomes Trishuli which becomes Narayani/Gandak and if flows into Bihar eventually into the Ganga. West Champaran, East Champaran, Gopalganj, Saran & Vaishali should remain vigilant. This may not become a major flood in India. But it's best to be vigilant.

As young lives are cut short by a building collapse in South Delhi questions are being raised about official accountability and culpability. Here's a reminder that MCD COMMISSIONER IS SANJAY KHIRWAR. He was appointed in Jan 2026 three years after he was shifted out of the capital following a controversy over walking his dog at Thyagraj Stadium. The stadium was allegedly cleared out so that Khirwar would be given exclusive access.

MODI IN VACINITY, CHINESE FIGHTER JETS IN UZBEK UNVEILED. Just a day after PM Modi's high-profile visit to Uzbekistan, Tashkent has publicly showcased six Chinese-made J-10CE fighter jets at Karshi-Khanabad air base. This is the first time Uzbeks haven't purchased Russian hardware. (Incidentally this base was previously an U.S. base.) Now, look at the emerging picture. PAP: J-10CE UZBEKISTAN: J-10CE BANGLADESH: Buying J-10CE This purchase of Chinese arms suggests a deeper pivot in South and Central Asia towards China. Delhi's diplomatic challenge to contain Beijing’s expanding footprint is growing evan as you read this.

50 protestors were arrested by Delhi Police at Jantar Mantar yesterday late in the evening. Not one BJP, OPPOSITION neta has demanded amnesty.

WHAT WE LACKED IN OP SINDOOR WE HAVE NOW! INDIA FINALLY GETS ITS ‘PERSISTENT EYE’ IN SPACE. A first-of-its-kind imaging satellite for India, EOS-05 gives the country a capability it could have had as early as 2021, but for the EOS-03 launch failure. During Operation Sindoor, India demonstrated the value of precision, real-time intelligence and multi-domain awareness. This satellite adds another layer through "persistent" observation of large areas, rather than waiting for a low-orbit satellite to pass overhead.

SC JUDGE PRASANNA VARALE: 0.1% OF KUMBH SPENDING COULD HAVE SAVED 125 MARATHI SCHOOLS This "virtue signaling" will be applauded as some thing profound. BUT WHY MANUFACTURE A FALSE CHOICE BETWEEN HINDU FAITH AND EDUCATION. Crores flow into India every year for proselytisation activities. Do the same voices demand that this money be diverted to building schools? No. The problem, apparently, begins only when the expenditure is on a Hindu religious festival. If Marathi schools are closing, ask why they are closing and fix those structural problems.
