Pakistani conspiracy theorist Zaid Hamid hoped to congratulate Javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem for bagging gold at CWG. As usual, his facts weren’t right.
More than a week into the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra's absence hasn't really been felt with India raking up 26 medals so far.
Subedar Neeraj Chopra of 4 Rajputana Rifles created history by becoming the first Indian athlete to win an Olympic gold medal in a track and field event.
Modi's praise came a day after Javelin thrower Chopra visited a school in Ahmedabad to launch a national mission to make students aware of the importance of fitness and sports.
Indian men's hockey team captain Manpreet Singh was originally recommended for the Arjuna award but he joined goalkeeper PR Sreejesh as the second hockey player in the list of awardees.
Sunil Chhetri also became the country's first footballer to be selected for the award. The announcements were delayed this year to include performances of the para-athletes in Tokyo.
Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
