Bhangra takes over! Harmanpreet Kaur steals show before collecting World Cup trophy from ICC chair Jay Shah - Watch

  Bhangra takes over! Harmanpreet Kaur steals show before collecting World Cup trophy from ICC chair Jay Shah - Watch NEW DELHI: On the night the Women in Blue were crowned World Champions, it wasn’t just the cricket that captured hearts — it was a moment of respect, humility, and celebration that defined India’s triumph. As captain Harmanpreet Kaur walked up to receive the ICC Women’s World Cup trophy from ICC chair Jay Shah at Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium, what happened next — and what didn’t — stole the show.

But Shah immediately stopped her with a gentle nod, signaling “no.” The exchange lasted barely a second, but it became the emotional highlight of the night, winning hearts across the nation. Fans flooded social media with praise, calling it a moment that perfectly embodied Indian values — respect meeting humility in the gra...

BCCI announces more cash prize than ICC for India's Women's World Cup-winning team

  India won the World Cup after beating South Africa by 52 runs in the summit clash. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced a cash prize of INR 51 crore for the women's team for winning their maiden World Cup title. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side defeated South Africa in the summit clash by 52 runs at the Dr DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai to win the tournament for the first time in their history. The Indian side faced disappointment in the 2005 and 2017 editions, as they fell short at the last hurdle; however, 2025 changed everything, as the hosts won the eight-team tournament in front of their home fans. The reward of INR 51 crore is higher than the prize money India will receive from the ICC.

Trump-Shehbaz Sharif mega deal under fire due to..., Beijing to... © Sumaila Zaman Rare earth minerals are emerging as the new gold for many nations, inspiring a new round of international competition and strategic partnerships. These vital resources are essential for manufacturing everything from electric vehicles and smartphones to weapons systems and renewable energy technologies. They have rapidly become the foundation of the 21st-century economy. As nations seek to secure supply chains, control of these minerals is becoming an important indicator of economic power and geopolitical influence. Rare earth minerals are expected to take on a more important role in the future, reshaping alliances, influencing trade policy, and altering the balance of power among major global players like the U.S., China, and new producers such as Pakistan. What is the Trump Shehbaz Sharif rare earth deal worth?...

India rethinks deterrence as Pak-based terror networks regroup

  India rethinks deterrence as Pak-based terror networks regroup India, Nov. 2 -- Nearly nine years after India's first publicised surgical strike across the Line of Control following the Uri attack, intelligence inputs suggest Pakistan-based terror groups are once again mobilising a sign that such cross-border operations, while effective in the short term, have done little to permanently deter them. Since 2016, India has carried out multiple cross-border operations including the Balakot airstrike in 2019 after the Pulwama attack and Operation Sindoorfive months ago aimed at dismantling launch pads and logistics hubs used by groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba. However, recent assessments suggest renewed mobilisation and recruitment by these outfits in Pakistan-occupied territory. Officials said these groups often relocate or rebrand after being hit, allowing their networks to survive despite targeted strikes. The presence of established infrastructure and continued...

India's Game-Changing Breakthrough: IIT Madras Cracks The Code For Vertical Landing Aircraft With Revolutionary Hybrid Rocket Thrusters

  India's Game-Changing Breakthrough: IIT Madras Cracks The Code For Vertical Landing Aircraft With Revolutionary Hybrid Rocket Thrusters Indian scientists just pulled off something extraordinary. Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras have achieved a breakthrough that could completely transform how aircraft take off and land, eliminating the need for runways altogether and putting India at the forefront of next-generation aviation technology. In a sophisticated experiment that sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, the IIT Madras team combined a real-time hybrid rocket thruster with virtual simulation technology to achieve the holy grail of vertical landing: perfect "soft landing" capability. This isn't just impressive engineering; it's the fundamental building block for everything from planetary exploration modules touching down on distant worlds to unmanned aerial vehicles landing in impossible terrain. Why This Changes Ev...

Is Something Big Coming? 50,000 Troops, INS Vikrant, Rafale And More – The Secret Message Behind India’s Massive Military Exercise Trishul

  Is Something Big Coming? 50,000 Troops, INS Vikrant, Rafale And More – The Secret Message Behind India’s Massive Military Exercise Trishul Exercise Trishul:  When October ended, satellite watchers around the world noticed something unusual over western India. In the skies above Gujarat and Rajasthan and deep inside the Arabian Sea, India’s armed forces began a war exercise unlike any in recent memory. Tanks rumbled through the Thar Desert, warships cut through monsoon-grey waves and fighter jets streaked across the horizon. This is Exercise Trishul, a massive tri-services drill involving the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force. At first, the scale was difficult to grasp. More than 50,000 troops have been mobilised. Fighter squadrons from the South Western Air Command joined naval formations from the Western Naval Command, while Army units under the Southern Command began coordinated maneuvers across Gujarat and Rajasthan. For the first time since Operation Sindoor, India’s three...

  'Robots don't wear clothes': Morgan Stanley MD warns what could go wrong for India Morgan Stanley's Managing Director and Chief India Equity Strategist Ridham Desai says India's economic foundation is solid, but the real threats to its growth lie outside its borders. Speaking at the Business Standard BFSI Summit, Desai said that while corporate and household balance sheets are healthy and reforms are delivering momentum, the world is sitting on record debt, facing demographic decline, and shifting geopolitically in unpredictable ways. "Lots of things can go wrong," Desai said when can go wrong for India. "Most of the things that can go wrong for India are outside India's control - and that makes matters worse for us because when things are in your control, you can fix them in advance." He argued that India's domestic fundamentals remain sound. "Our corporate balance sheets are very pristine. I disagree with the common narrative tha...
