Supreme Court Grills the Governor Immunity Claim in 2 Fierce Stands

National
New Delhi [India], August 28: The Supreme Court has finally asked the blunt question: Can governors act like monarchs and stall democracy by sitting on Bills forever? On Thursday, a Constitution Bench led by Chief Justice B.R. Gavai resumed hearings on the Presidential Reference that seeks clarity on the powers of governors under Articles 200 and 201 of the Constitution. At stake: whether a governor can simply refuse to act on a Bill passed by an elected legislature and hide behind constitutional immunity. Centre Says: Governors Above Scrutiny Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, speaking for the Union, made the familiar case,…

Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana: 11 Years of Real Impact by PMJDY!

National
New Delhi [India], August 28: India’s mega banking inclusion drive, the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY), just hit its 11-year milestone. Numbers don’t lie: 56 crore accounts, ₹2.68 lakh crore in deposits, and crores of women and rural poor finally plugged into the formal economy. A Mission That Changed Banking in India Launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014, PMJDY was written off by critics as another sarkari scheme. Eleven years later, it’s the world’s largest financial inclusion programme. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman put it plainly: without access to banking, the poor remain locked out of growth.…

National
New Delhi [India], August 25: The Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) has signed its annual Performance MoU with the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).

India-US Trade Negotiations: EAM Jaishankar’s Fierce Stand On ’50 percent’ Tariffs

National
New Delhi [India], August 23: External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar doesn’t do diplomatic fluff. With Washington tightening the tariff screws, he cut through the noise: yes, India-US trade negotiations are still alive. No, India won’t sacrifice its farmers or small producers to appease the White House. In his words, “we have some red lines”, and those are not negotiable. Tariffs Rising, Patience Running Thin The India-US trade standoff has been brewing for months. Washington’s latest move is brutal: a 25% extra duty already slapped on Indian goods, with another 25% set to kick in on August 27. That’s a total…

TikTok’s Big India Tease: A Promising Comeback or Just Déjà Vu in HD?

National
New Delhi [India], August 23: It is almost as if a dream. Five years ago, TikTok was dumped out of India with the severity you save for a toxic relationship—blocked, removed, and condemned. And yet, here we are in 2025, with rumors that the app might very well be staging a quiet comeback. The website comes back online, but the app itself? Still absent. As if an ex-flame sends a “Hi” on WhatsApp but won’t commit. So, the natural question is, do we even want it back? Or is this just a case of nostalgia operating on us? When TikTok…

South Asia Health Research Collab Takes Bold Step

National
New Delhi [India], August 23: India pulled off something rare this week, getting its neighbours to agree on action, not just talk. Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Timor-Leste, and India came together in Delhi to strengthen health research systems. The message was blunt: no country can fix pandemics, NCDs, or antibiotic resistance alone. We’ve all seen enough regional “dialogues” that go nowhere. This one, convened by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), tried to cut through that. The plan is to align research with policy, share resources, and build systems that can stand up to future health shocks. India Takes…

New Delhi [India], August 21: At Patna Junction these days, you can already sense the season coming.
