#WATCH | Delhi | British High Commissioner to India, Lindy Cameron, says, "The UK-India trade deal brings sweeping benefits for a wide range of sectors. From today, import duty on Scotch whisky has been cut from 150% to 75%, which should make a really significant difference to the price the consumer pays. Import duties on premium UK-built cars will also begin to fall from over 110% to 10%, making iconic British brands cheaper for Indian consumers. The best of UK beauty and cosmetics, homeware and sports goods will all be cheaper for Indian consumers to purchase. Clean energy, 98% of environmental and green goods are being liberalised, supporting India's energy transition. It will also improve business mobility between India and the UK."
Meet Manish Seth, an automotive engineer who spent 15 years building cars for Ford, GM, Volkswagen, and Tata Motors before deciding to rebuild the drivetrain itself.
He started in 2004 as a campus hire at Tata Motors, working on suspension and brakes. From there he moved through Engineering Manager roles at GM and Opel in Germany, then spent 7 years and 11 months at Ford as Development Manager, leading suspension launches for the Fiesta, Figo, Focus, and Ecosport across Europe and the US.
In February 2020, he walked away from corporate auto to found Volektra, building rare earth-free, software-defined drivetrains for anything between a bike and a car. Two years later he added Vollkit, an e-bike venture. In January 2026, he co-founded Vimag Labs to redefine electric motors without rare earth materials.
Fifteen years inside the machine taught him exactly where it needed to change.
The date was December 23, 1912. Delhi's Chandni Chowk area.
British Viceroy Lord Hardinge was leading a royal procession on an elephant. Just then, a beautiful woman standing in the crowd waved her hand. No one suspected anything, but death lurked beneath the pallu of her sari.
She was not a woman, but 17-year-old boy, revolutionary freedom fighter Basant Kumar Vishwas.
At the behest of his mentor, Rasbihari Bose, he had disguised himself as a woman to breach the security cordon. Basant threw the bomb with perfect precision. The explosion was powerful, injuring the Viceroy, but he survived. Amidst the ensuing stampede, 'that girl' (Basant) quietly disappeared and returned to Bengal.
His father passed away some time later. While he was busy performing his father's funeral rites, the police arrested him.
He was subjected to unbearable torture behind prison bars. He was kept naked in the bitter cold, starved, but not a single name of his fellow freedom fighters came out of this 19-year-old's mouth. The British officers were astonished that at an age when boys play on the ground, this boy was playing with death.
The final scene before the gallows when he said, "I will come again."
His execution was scheduled for May 11, 1915, in Ambala Jail. Basant Kumar Vishwas was only 20 years old at the time. He became one of India's youngest martyrs.
It is said that as he was led to the gallows, there was not a trace of fear on his face. Rather, his face bore a smile like that of a groom leading his wedding procession.
He told the executioner, "Don't be afraid, brother, do your job. I will merge with this soil so that the plant of India's freedom may grow stronger."
When the noose was placed around his neck, he loudly shouted "Vande Mataram."
His voice echoed through the high prison walls, reverberating all the way outside.
A revolutionary brave man like Basant Kumar Vishwas not only threw a bomb, but also sacrificed his identity, his youth, and his life
for the freedom of India.
Hail the revolutionary freedom fighter Basant Kumar Vishwas!!!
Hundreds of salutes 🫡 🫡 🫡 to you!!!
Jai Hind 🇮🇳 🙏
🚨 Lady cop strikes back....
Urban Company rider harasses a woman on the streets of Khardah - lewd gestures and worse.
Little did he know she was an off-duty policewoman, the fearless Lady Singham! She grabbed him by the collar, dragged him straight to the station, and ensured his arrest.
Never mess with our women in uniform.
This zero-tolerance vibe is what India's streets desperately need.
Less than 24 hours to go…

Some journeys don't end with a landing. They come full circle.
After spending 46 years in the skies, from serving the Indian Air Force to flying commercial aircraft, Captain Sandeep Puri completed his final flight with the person who knew his journey best.
His daughter, First Officer Aastha Puri, was right beside him in the cockpit.
What made the moment even more special was that it wasn't just a retirement. It was the passing of a legacy from one generation to the next.
Before welcoming her father on his final flight, Aastha shared, "I salute my father's every single struggle." Those heartfelt words captured the pride, gratitude and love behind a journey that inspired an entire aircraft.
Some uniforms are retired. Some legacies continue to soar. ❤️✈️

Manjinder Singh Bitta asks hard-hitting questions to the makers of Satluj:
"Why is the movie presenting only one side of the story instead of the whole reality? Why are the crimes committed by Khalistani terrorists overlooked? Why is there no mention of the 36,000 innocent people killed in Punjab, including 19,000 Hindu victims of terrorism?"
This is not merely political intrigue.
It concerns the integrity of the Indian state itself.
Former MHA Under Secretary R.V.S. Mani has made allegations so grave that they cannot simply be dismissed with the usual Congress ecosystem smirk.
He alleges that 26/11 was a “fixed match” between elements within the Congress establishment and Pakistan’s ISI in an interview with @ANI.
This is why Congress’s moral lectures on institutions, democracy and national security ring hollow. The party that now screams about “saving the Constitution” must first answer whether state machinery was ever manipulated to manufacture evidence, alter narratives and frame political opponents.
These allegations demand far more than television debates. They demand answers, accountability and a full investigation.
Because if even a fraction of what Mani says is true, this was not politics.
It was a betrayal of India by @INCIndia and it's leaders.
Couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this news.
Of course, India is a global force in shooting, but most of our success has come in rifle & pistol events.
Trap and skeet have always been much tougher to crack, demanding a very different ecosystem of ranges, coaching and competition.
That’s what makes Neeru Dhanda’s victory so special.
To win an ISSF World Cup gold in trap is one thing. To do it at Lonato, which is one of the sport’s most iconic venues and a place every shotgun shooter reveres, is another.
Clay target shooting has long been a European stronghold and is a discipline many Americans proudly regard as their own. Which is why Neeru’s gold feels like such a breakthrough.
Congratulations, Neeru. May this be the first of many more podiums. 🇮🇳
Pakistani Muslims hate India the most but while overseas they are so ashamed of their own nationality that they say they are Indians.
British Pakistani: "In London when the bouncer asks them where they are from, Pakistanis always say they are Indians because they know if they spoke the truth they will be kicked out of the line."
Pakistani in Japan: "In Japan, when Pakistanis open a restaurant, they write "Indian Restaurant." Because if we tell the Japanese that it's a Pakistani restaurant, no one will ever visit it."
Najam Sethi: "In New York, Pakistanis are scared to reveal their nationality and pretend to be Indian."
A Judiciary reform was first priority of Modiji but Indian Judiciary obstructed it ,Judiciary must be reformed with accountability , justice shouldn't be delivered from a Opaque system it must be accountable and seen to be delivered

He is 75, travels across time zones under extraordinary security constraints and had already completed official engagements in Indonesia and Australia before reaching New Zealand. His Auckland programme then ran for nearly 12 hours - ceremonial welcome, bilateral talks, delegation meetings, a business summit, political engagements and a diaspora address.
More importantly, the visit delivered outcomes.
India and New Zealand upgraded their relationship to a strategic partnership. Their free trade agreement will eliminate tariffs on 57% of everything New Zealand sells to India from day one, while opening New Zealand’s market duty-free to Indian exports.
But an anonymously sourced New Zealand media report turns routine security and scheduling arrangements for one of the world’s most threat-prone leaders into a controversy and Congress immediately pounces upon it as though it has uncovered Watergate.
The allegation? That PM Modi’s team reportedly requested rest breaks.
Even if true, so what?
Meanwhile, clown Prince Rahul Gandhi is reportedly on yet another foreign trip.
Make of it what you want to, and maybe try getting some information on the funding of Rahul's frequent trips abroad. Perhaps Congress should first locate its missing Leader of Opposition before investigating whether the Prime Minister was allowed to rest between diplomatic engagements!
