LUCKNOW: Is BJP trying to divert the attention from the alleged loot of donations at Ram Temple at Ayodhya and spreading news about possible split in Samajwadi Party.? At a time when entire nation is watching developments in Ayodhya about great loot of the donations BJP leaders and alliance partners are busy circulating news about the large numbers of SP MPs quitting the party. The news about possibility of split in Samajwadi Party gained momentum after splits in TMC in West Bengal and Shiv Sena in Maharashtra.

By the standards of modern diplomacy, it was an unusual encounter. There were no bear hugs. No back-slapping theatrics. No clasped hands held aloft for the cameras as though two victorious prizefighters had just emerged from Madison Square Garden. The famous Trump-Modi choreography, perfected over years in Houston, Ahmedabad and Washington, appeared conspicuously absent on the sidelines of the G7 summit. Yet if the body language had cooled, the language itself had not. Instead, President Donald Trump reached for a familiar instrument: hyperbole.

On a humid June morning in India's capital, the birthday wishes began arriving before sunrise. Students posted videos on Instagram. Party workers unfurled banners across small towns. Political allies issued carefully worded messages of solidarity. Critics, never far behind, reminded the nation of his electoral defeats, his verbal missteps and the privilege of his birth.

Indian technology companies are entering a more difficult phase as the market reaction to Accenture’s weaker revenue outlook exposes deeper concerns about the sector’s growth model. The sell-off that erased about Rs 1.35 lakh crore in market value from Indian IT majors was not merely a response to one global peer’s guidance cut. It reflected investor anxiety that the slowdown in discretionary technology spending is becoming more persistent, while artificial intelligence is beginning to challenge the labour-intensive services model that powered Indian IT’s rise over three decades.

NEW YORK: The war that began on February 28, when American and Israeli strikes targeted Iran's nuclear infrastructure, formally ended on Wednesday with the signing of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding — not in a Geneva ballroom with cameras rolling, but quietly and electronically, then sealed in person by President Donald Trump at the Palace of Versailles during a G7 dinner hosted by Emmanuel Macron.

NEW YORK: In the span of one month, May 2026, one of Canada’s oldest mining firms, Sherritt International, was distressed by US regulatory lawfare and strong-armed into accepting a buy offer from Gillon Capital, a private wealth fund for a right-wing oligarchic family with close ties to Donald Trump and the Republican Party.

Greater Manchester Mayor Labour Party candidate Andy Burnham’s convincing victory in the crucial Makerfield by election on Thursday has landed the ruling Labour Party in a deep crisis. The winning candidate has thrown his challenge to the leader Prime Minister Keir Starmer who is under fire from his own Parliament members for his failure in running the government leading to the dip in popularity rating of the PM and the Party.

The familiar choreography was missing. There were no extended embraces, no extravagant declarations of friendship, no made-for-television moments recalling the "Howdy Modi" spectacle in Houston or the "Namaste Trump" extravaganza in Ahmedabad. When Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Donald Trump met on the sidelines of the G7 summit in France this week, the mood was noticeably different. The warmth remained. The theatrics did not.

The rupee has further depreciated vis-à-vis the dollar reaching 95.87 against the US dollar on June 15. It appears like a free fall and the weakening of the rupee by itself is nothing, but an indicator of how India’s economic health is perceived by foreign investors. The balance of payments, that is India’s transactions with the world, are composed of two accounts namely the current account and the capital account. The current account shows mainly the export and import values, that is how much as a country we are selling to the world and how much we are buying from the producers of the world. It also includes earnings from Indian companies abroad and interest payments made against loans by Indians.

BHOPAL: Transportation challenges in Indian cities are changing rapidly. Growing populations, limited road space, parking shortages, increasing traffic congestion and environmental concerns are prompting people to rethink their daily commuting choices. For one or two-person travel, cars are no longer always the most practical option. In many cities, even short journeys by car have become expensive in terms of both time and money due to traffic jams, parking difficulties and rising fuel costs. In this context, motorcycles—particularly modern 125cc models—are emerging as an efficient and balanced solution for urban mobility.
