Sanjay Gandhi National Park is already under significant pressure from various factors, and there is information suggesting that some devotees who wish to undertake the Kavad Yatra are seeking permission to enter the park and collect water from its streams for their pilgrimage.…

So Saiyaara has crossed the ₹200 crore nett figure in the Indian box office today. When was the last time we saw a purely romance driven Bollywood film starring two newcomers as leads and with no high voltage action sequences collected more than ₹200 crore in mere 9 days???

The National Talent Hunt for Spokespersons and Panelists is a mission to find bold and articulate voices who can take on misinformation, dismantle propaganda, and speak truth to power with precision and poise. If you can defend the Constitution, expose injustice, and carry the…

Even a tulsi kanth haar didn’t save him from harassment. Their problem is with Bangla and Bengali. Bengalis from Matua & Vaishnav community who have been voting for BJP should know better.

A Bombay HC decision upholding police refusal to protest atrocities in #Gaza should be appealed in the Supreme Court. One can understand politics but a judicial stamp on d denial to protest #genocide is shameful abdication of our commitment to defend human rights. @cpimspeak

Omg about time. I hope migrant workers are made aware of this and it gets them actual help

The petitioner has raised strong objections on discretionary powers given to EROs, lack of transparency in conducting Bihar SIR, EC's jurisdiction in demanding citizenship proof & more. @ExplainXinfo youtu.be/BA-g94Oag9c

His VrC ribbon caught my eye as I passed by. Stopped and asked him where he got it. “Tiger Hill,” he said. I knew I had a story on my hands.
