Nagpur: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh ( RSS ) chief Mohan Bhagwat said the British colonial rulers deliberately distorted Indian history in its educational curriculum to create an impression that India was always occupied by outsiders. "This was done after they saw during the freedom struggle of 1857 that despite so much internal strife, the people of the country could unite against a foreign aggressor," he said. "It was taught that Dravidians overthrew the original inhabitants of India. Later, the Aryans overthrew the Dravidians. The idea was to establish a false theory that these were all outsiders and that the people of India did not have the strength to rule on their own. It was done to show that if Indians opposed the British because they were outsiders, even they had foreign origins. Much evidence has now emerged which negates the theory that has been taught for ages," said Bhagwat. The RSS chief was addressing students of Somalwar Nikalas High School after the Annasaheb Somalwar Memorial Initiative for Rewarding Excellence (ASSMIRE) awards. Stressing the importance of education , he said money should not be the ultimate goal of learning. Bhagwat said Mahatma Gandhi himself did not own any wealth, yet industrialists like Jamnalal Bajaj would bow down before him because of his virtues. "Despite technological development and the increasing use of Artificial Intelligence, the role of teachers will always remain relevant because students learn from what they see, and teachers are their role models," he said.

Rajasthan Govt reverses Gehlot's district reorganization decisionsWASHINGTON — The Supreme Court could further weaken the power of federal agencies by agreeing on Friday to hear a dispute over a Federal Communications Commission program that requires companies to subsidize telecommunications services in underserved areas. The case marks the latest opportunity for business interests to hobble regulators at a court with a 6-3 conservative majority sympathetic to their arguments. The court left open the possibility of sidestepping a ruling in the case by asking the lawyers to argue whether the legal dispute might be moot. The broader legal principle at issue in the case is whether Congress delegated too much authority to the FCC to determine how much companies should pay in subsidies, a sum that is now in the billions of dollars. The court could embrace what is known as the "nondelegation doctrine." The theory — for which conservative justices have indicated support without fully embracing it — would restrict the ability of Congress to pass open-ended laws that give considerable leeway to agencies. If the court were to rule against the FCC, it could open up other long-standing practices to court review on a range of issues the federal government currently regulates, from banking to the environment. The FCC case raises two interlinked issues, one of which concerns the broad question of whether Congress exceeded its powers. The other is whether the FCC could itself delegate the authority to set the payment amounts to a private company. As a result of conflicting lower court rulings, both the FCC itself and a coalition led by a conservative group called Consumers' Research that challenged the current system asked the Supreme Court to weigh in. The 1996 law in question required the FCC to set up the Universal Service Fund, which requires telecommunications services to submit payments to subsidize what is called "universal service" in low-income and rural areas. The following year, the FCC set up a private corporation called the Universal Service Administrative Company to administer the fund. The FCC turned to the Supreme Court after the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the agency. Conservative Judge Andrew Oldham wrote for the majority that the program was a "misbegotten tax" that violates "bedrock constitutional principles." The Supreme Court earlier this year issued a series of rulings against federal agencies, including one overturning a 40-year-old precedent that gave leeway to agencies to interpret laws written ambiguously. All three rulings were decided 6-3 on ideological lines, with conservative justices in the majority and the liberal justices in dissent. The rulings are the result of a long-term war against the administrative state that has been backed by business interests and conservative politicians. President-elect Donald Trump's first administration selected judicial nominees in part because of their hostility to federal bureaucracy. Three of them serve on the Supreme Court. Oldham, on the appeals court, is another. A ruling that limits the power of the executive branch's agencies could, however, potentially raise roadblocks for Trump, who has indicated he will be aggressive in his use of executive power in his second term, including with his plan to impose broad tariffs.

An Idaho beauty salon owner and mother of three, Tiffney Prickett, recently went viral on TikTok for calling Trump supporters racist, homophobic, and misogynistic. As a result, her salon Voire in Coeur d'Alene is facing a boycott from disgruntled Republicans and even long-term clients. In her video , Prickett, 40, said, 'Trump basically gave small men the ability and the courage to be misogynistic and hateful.' As a prime example of this behaviour, Prickett mentioned 'your body, my choice', a viral slogan coined by Nick Fuentes after Trump's re-election. Prickett emphasised her concern for women, questioning why more men do not speak out against disrespectful and sexist behaviour. She explained that in her experience as a woman, only two men have ever stood up for her when she told them that another man was making her uncomfortable. Most of the time, according to Prickett, men shrug off these incidents. 'I don't know why men witness aggressions towards women, and they just stand idly by and so nothing,' Prickett said. 'I don't understand it.' In a follow-up video , Prickett shared that some long-term clients no longer felt comfortable visiting her salon due to her views, recounting how a client sent her husband to demand a refund for pre-purchased gift cards. Prickett offered the refund despite not normally doing so, just to be able to cut ties with the family, which Prickett knew to be entirely Republican. 'I don't have a problem with you being a Republican,' she added. 'I have a problem with you stripping Human Rights away.' In the video, she explains how important interracial marriage, same-sex marriage, transgender rights, and reproductive rights are to her. She argues that supporting a person with racist, homophobic, and misogynistic views implies that one condones those attitudes, effectively aligning oneself with them. The video's caption read, 'It's not politics, it's Human Rights.' In another video , Prickett doubled down on her stance even further. 'I do not support racism, homophobia, misogyny, xenophobia, SA (sexual assault) of women and children... I don't support any of that,' she said. 'And so, if you need me to quiet down so that you feel better about your decision to vote for someone who has done all those things, I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to silence myself for your comfort. I said what I said; I stand by what I said.' Prickett observed Trump supporters have been 'dropping like flies' as a result of the boycotts. She has also received an influx of online backlash and harassment. In particular, users on X (formerly Twitter) voiced their discontent at the salon owner's statements. Amidst the backlash, Prickett has removed her salon's website. Some of her liberal followers have suggested she move her business to a blue state, as Idaho is 45.19% Republican as of this year's election. A Memphis florist, Kristin Wolter, 49, announced on her now-private Instagram that she would not do business with Donald Trump supporters following his re-election. Wolter, the owner of Everbloom Designs, explained that this decision stems from her desire to create a 'safe place' for herself, her staff, and her family. Wolter's statements sparked controversy, leading to threats against her and her business, which forced her to close the shop for a week. Among these threatening messages were legal threats, but there are no protections against discrimination due to political affiliation under Tennessee law. As a result of the backlash, all social media accounts for Everbloom Designs are now private. Similar to Prickett, Wolter's business decision incited criticism on X.The dynamic duo of storyteller-filmmaker Sudhanshu Rai and Director Puneet Sharma, renowned for crafting some of the most captivating horror comedies in recent times, including the critically acclaimed Chaipatti and Chintaa Mani, are poised to unleash a bigger, more thrilling cinematic experience.

Former world No.1 out of Aus Open after brutal setback

How Can Uneven Dispersion in Black Masterbatch Be Improved? A Case Study and SolutionLONDON — Olivia Hussey, the actor who starred as a teenage Juliet in the 1968 film “Romeo and Juliet,” has died, her family said on social media Saturday. She was 73. Hussey died Friday “peacefully at home surrounded by her loved ones,” a statement posted to her Instagram account said. No cause of death was given. Hussey was 15 when director Franco Zeffirelli cast her in his adaptation of the Shakespeare tragedy after spotting her onstage in the play “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie,” which also starred Vanessa Redgrave. “Romeo and Juliet” won two Oscars and Hussey won a Golden Globe for new actress for her part as Juliet, opposite British actor Leonard Whiting, who was 16 at the time. Decades later Hussey and Whiting brought a lawsuit against Paramount Pictures alleging sexual abuse, sexual harassment and fraud over nude scenes in the film. They alleged that they were initially told they would wear flesh-colored undergarments in a bedroom scene, but on the day of the shoot, Zeffirelli told the pair they would wear only body makeup and that the camera would be positioned in a way that would not show nudity. They alleged they were filmed in the nude without their knowledge. The case was dismissed by a Los Angeles County judge in 2023, who found that their depiction could not be considered child pornography and that the pair filed their claim too late. Whiting was among those paying tribute to Hussey on Saturday. “Rest now my beautiful Juliet no injustices can hurt you now. And the world will remember your beauty inside and out forever,” he wrote. Hussey was born on April 17, 1951, in Bueno Aires, Argentina, and moved to London as a child. She studied at the Italia Conti Academy drama school. She also starred as Mary, the mother of Jesus, in the 1977 television series “Jesus of Nazareth,” as well as the 1978 adaptation of Agatha Christie’s “Death on the Nile” and horror movies “Black Christmas” and “Psycho IV: The Beginning.” She is survived by her husband, David Glen Eisley, her three children and a grandson.
