New Delhi: Mahi Siwach and Palak Zambre alongside two more junior girls chalked out dramatic victories to move into the finals of the Asian Youth & Junior Boxing Championships in Amman, Jordan on Tuesday.

Amidst the continuing Russian war in Ukraine, the Brazilian people are participating in a major battle between the ruling parties of the Right led by the current president Joe Bolsonaro and the former left wing president Frances Lulla of the Workers Party(PT) in the coming presidential elections in October this year.After the good show of the Left in last years presidential elections in the region, the focus is now on the outcome of the poll in this largest nation of the region.

As we enter the second week of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, even with the proposed ceasefire from the Russian Federation for a “humanitarian corridor”, a “quick war” seems completely out of the question. Intensifying this situation has been the plight of civilians stuck between the cross-fire. While it is mandated under various international law covenants that civilians and non-combatants cannot be hurt in any armed conflict – whether internal or external, civilian casualties have increased manifold in this unjustified aggression.

How would you react if West Bengal designates Rasgulla as the official dessert, Jammu and Kashmir adopts Tulip as the official flower, Bihar elevates Litti-Chokha as the official breakfast, Himachal Pradesh dignifies Apples as the official fruit – all by passing a bill in their respective legislative assemblies?

Bias is all pervading making moving ahead for Indian women too difficult. Gender gap is too wide that they are unable to bridge on their own, and the bias against them is too great to overcome. Indian women have been braving all the odds in their paths even before the pandemic struck the country in March 2020, which has further worsened their condition within their homes, outside on the streets, at the places of education and the work, and in accessing food or medicine to banking and finance. Safety and security remains a major concern for them and have still not voice strong enough in judiciary and legislature. We had or have notable women in all walks of life but they don’t represent the general pathetic condition of women in general.

The Russian Orthodox Church blesses rather than fires weapons. In doing so, it has emerged as a powerful weapon in its own right in President Vladimir Putin’s civilisationalist arsenal. Putin justified his 12-day-old invasion of Ukraine in part by asserting that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s government had been preparing for the “destruction” of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

Russia's 'invasion of its neighbour Ukraine' on February 24 has brought to the fore once again the urgent need for United Nations Organisation (UNO) reform and the need for an international body to play its proper role. The world is facing a possible nuclear conflict today.
