Putin Backs India, China Against US Tariff Threats: “Colonial Era is Over”

Russian President Vladimir Putin has strongly criticized US President Donald Trump’s tariff threats against India and China, declaring that the “colonial era is over.” Speaking at the SCO Summit in Tianjin on September 3, 2025, alongside Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping, Putin warned that attempts to pressure Asia’s two biggest economies through sanctions and tariffs were misguided and destabilizing. His remarks, backed by visible solidarity among India, China, and Russia, signal a growing pushback against US economic coercion and highlight a shift toward a multipolar world order.

CJI DY Chandrachud Busts Myths Around Umar Khalid’s Bail, Points to Defense Delays

Former Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud has debunked claims that judicial delays are keeping activist Umar Khalid behind bars, instead pointing to repeated adjournments and the eventual withdrawal of his bail plea by his own legal team, led by Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal. Chandrachud clarified that court records show Khalid’s lawyers sought adjournments on half the listed hearings in the Supreme Court, challenging narratives of a biased judiciary. With the Delhi High Court again rejecting Khalid’s bail plea on September 2, 2025, Chandrachud’s remarks shift focus to defense tactics and legal strategies, rather than judicial conduct, as the main reason for delays in the high-profile case.

मिलेनियम सिटी की बदहाली, बीजेपी शासित केंद्र और राज्य में भी नहीं बदली तस्वीर

गुरुग्राम, जिसे कभी भारत की ‘मिलेनियम सिटी’ कहा जाता था, अब बदहाली का शिकार हो चुका है। केंद्र और हरियाणा में बीजेपी की सरकार होने के बावजूद, साथ ही सांसद, विधायक और मेयर तक बीजेपी के होने के बावजूद शहर में जलभराव, टूटी सड़कें, बिजली कटौती, पानी की किल्लत और कचरा प्रबंधन जैसी समस्याएं जस की तस बनी हुई हैं। नागरिकों का कहना है कि गुरुग्राम अब ‘अमीरों का स्लम’ बन चुका है। प्रशासन और जीएमडीए द्वारा हाल ही में सफाई और कचरा प्रबंधन अभियान शुरू किए गए हैं, लेकिन विशेषज्ञ मानते हैं कि असली कारण अनियोजित विकास और कमजोर बुनियादी ढांचा है।

The Real Pushpa Scene in Garsa valley
