#WATCH | Jind, Haryana: Neeru Dhanda wins Gold medal in women's trap shooting event in Asian Games 2026.
Neeru Dhanda's mother, Sudesh Devi, says, "We are overjoyed. She started training three or four months ago... When I got to know about this, I was on my way to collect my Below Poverty Line (BPL) wheat ration... We are poor; we have zero balance. We keep buffaloes, etc. I have two daughters and one son. Regarding the government—if they see a future for the child, they will provide support on their own; there is no need for us to ask. We have received plenty of help from the government..."

The day is here - The Revolutionaries - is now out on Prime Video. Even I will be watching the finished version for the first time this evening.
To be clear, it is not a documentary but a thriller - a story of adventure, grit, loyalty and betrayal - that portrays the spirit of the movement. For those interested in the hard history, they can just read the book.

#WATCH | Delhi: At the centenary celebrations of Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), Prime Minister Narendra Modi says, "The alumni of SRCC have also been very special. In your language, I would say the alumni here are the OGs. They have taken the name of SRCC across the world and made a mark for themselves in different fields. Our Arun Jaitley ji studied here. And I can say that perhaps there was hardly a meeting with him where he did not share an incident from his SRCC days. Sometimes I would get tired because he would tell me the same incident again and again. Even today, Sanjeev Sanyal, who is part of my team, is an alumnus of SRCC. We have many other colleagues who studied here as well. And it is not that SRCC has produced people only from the world of economics. From artists to politicians, lawyers and judges, people from every field have emerged from here."

India must mobilise long-term global capital at scale through efficient financial structures.
REITs and InvITs are central to this effort. These frameworks have been calibrated over time.
Budget 2026 restructures the treatment of Minimum Alternate Tax credits. For SPVs within REIT and InvIT structures, it creates a structural constraint.
India has the assets. It has investor interest. It has the policy intent. However, policy consistency and predictability is critical . My article in today’s ET.
