PM Modi Urges Youth to Wear Handlooms & Share GRWM Videos on National Handloom Day..

India is renowned worldwide for its handlooms. From Kashmir’s Pashmina to the Kanjeevaram of the South, the magic of Indian weavers has dominated the global market for centuries. National Handloom Day is celebrated every year on August 7th to preserve this unique heritage and promote the skills of weavers.\ This year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made a unique appeal to the countrymen on this special occasion. PM Modi released a special video and message on social media on the occasion of National Handloom Day, urging the country’s youth and citizens to adopt Indian handloom products. In the video, he urged the country’s youth and citizens to wear local clothing and follow the popular “Get ready with me” (GRWM) trend on social media. He urged people to share videos and photos of their favorite handloom products on digital platforms using the hashtag #NationalHandloomDay. He stated that this would give greater recognition to the diversity of Indian handlooms, strengthen the economic status of weavers, and strengthen the resolve for a self-reliant India.

August 5, 2019 to 2026: 7 Years of Post-Article 370 Jammu and Kashmir

August 5, 2019 to 2026: 7 Years of Post-Article 370 Jammu and Kashmir

It has been seven years since the destiny of Jammu and Kashmir was transformed. It was on this very day in 2019 that Article 370 and Article 35A were abrogated in Jammu and Kashmir. This is considered the most significant achievement of the BJP government’s tenure. Just months after the NDA government began its second term under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Article 370 and Article 35A—which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir—were revoked. This is regarded as one of the most secretive strategic missions in the history of Indian politics. Knowledge of the entire operation was confined to a select few—including PM Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval—and no one else got wind of it. What is Article 370? Article 370 was a temporary provision of the Constitution that granted Jammu and Kashmir a special autonomous status compared to other Indian states. This provision came into effect on October 26, 1947—shortly after India gained independence—and remained in force until August 5, 2019. Under this article, Jammu and Kashmir had its own separate constitution and flag. Except for matters concerning defense, foreign affairs, finance, and communications, the approval of the Jammu and Kashmir State Assembly was mandatory for the implementation of central laws. Furthermore, non-residents of Jammu and Kashmir could not purchase movable property, land, or houses in the region, nor were they eligible for state government jobs. Certain provisions of the Indian Constitution—such as the Right to Education (RTE) and the Right to Property—were not applicable in Jammu and Kashmir under this article. Changes after the abrogation of Article 370 With the abrogation of Article 370, the special status granted to Jammu and Kashmir came to an end. Post-2019, the Indian Constitution became fully applicable in the region. The provisions for a separate constitution and flag for Jammu and Kashmir were also abolished. Non-residents can now purchase land in Jammu and Kashmir, subject to certain conditions. Additionally, citizens of Jammu and Kashmir became eligible to apply for jobs in other states. Jammu and Kashmir was bifurcated into two Union Territories: Jammu and Kashmir, with a legislative assembly, and Ladakh, as a Union Territory without one. While incidents of stone-pelting were previously common in the region, the youth of Jammu and Kashmir began joining the Indian Army following the abrogation of Article 370. Terrorist incidents in the region also declined.

PM Modi Forgives Student for Abusive Slogans Against Him and Late Mother; Girl Apologises to Nation..

During the paper leak protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, abusive language was used against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. PM Modi released a video on social media on Saturday, August 1st. He expressed his forgiveness for the student who used abusive language during the protest. PM Modi stated that he and his late mother were abused during the protest. A video of the accused student has also surfaced in this matter. According to reports, the viral video shows the student claiming to be 15 years old, now pleading for forgiveness with folded hands. She claims she came to Connaught Place with friends to visit and joined the protest. She uttered abusive language under the influence of the crowd and in her excitement. The student also stated in the video that what she said was unpardonable and unforgivable. She stated that this was her first and last mistake, and that she apologizes to the nation and is deeply ashamed of her actions. She has realized the impact of her words and wants to apologize not only to the Prime Minister but to everyone across the country who was offended by them. The FIR reportedly lists her as 25 years old, but in the apology clip, she claims she’s only 15. She apologizes, saying she never intended to create such a controversy. Complaint was filed against the girl at a Noida police station The controversy began when a complaint was filed against the girl at a Noida police station on Wednesday for her comments about the Prime Minister. The Noida police registered a zero FIR and then transferred the complaint to the Parliament Street police station in New Delhi. The complainant stated that her comments had hurt the Prime Minister’s dignity and could vitiate the atmosphere and disrupt public peace. The student’s apology video surfaced just hours after Prime Minister Modi’s latest Instagram video, in which he appealed for restraint and forgiveness after abusive slogans were chanted against him during a student protest. In the message, he mentioned the recent events at Jantar Mantar, where some mischievous young men used language inappropriate for any civilized society and hurled filthy abuses. Responding to this, Prime Minister Modi stated that not only was he targeted, but his deceased mother was also treated very badly. Reflecting on the strong public reaction, Prime Minister Modi attributed this to childhood mistakes, noting that childhood offers the opportunity to correct those mistakes. Seeing the anger and resentment in society, he understood how deeply shocked people were by this student’s use of abusive language. He stated that the need of the hour is to embrace them and show them the right path. It is our duty to guide them; punishing them, dragging them to court, or harassing them in society will not change the situation. The Prime Minister clarified that he wishes to forgive them and hopes that society will accept their sentiments, stating that he has only one feeling in his heart.

The 23rd Commonwealth Games begin in Scotland; 74 countries and around 3,000 athletes will participate

The 23rd Commonwealth Games begin in Scotland; 74 countries and around 3,000 athletes will participate

The 23rd Commonwealth Games have kicked off in Glasgow with a spectacular indoor opening ceremony.Glasgow, Scotland, launched the 23rd Commonwealth Games on Thursday, July 23, featuring a vibrant opening ceremony that showcased Scottish culture. King Charles III officially opened the Games at the OVO Hydro in the presence of Queen Camilla, UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham, and Commonwealth Games President Donald Rukare. This marked the second time in 12 years that the Scottish city has hosted this multi-sport event. Earlier, on Commonwealth Day (March 10, 2025), King Charles III had read the message contained within the King’s Baton at Buckingham Palace, signaling the start of the Games, which run until August 2. This is the first Commonwealth Games opening ceremony to be held indoors. Approximately 3,000 athletes from 74 nations are participating in the 2026 Commonwealth Games; the Parade of Nations inside the 13,000-capacity indoor arena was led by the African nations, followed by delegations from the Americas, Asia, the Caribbean, Oceania, and Europe. The opening ceremony also featured a Scottish lineup of talent. Grammy-nominated singer-songwriters KT Tunstall and Tom Walker performed, alongside Nina Nesbitt, Callum Beattie, Nathan Evans, Saint PHNX, and the electro-Celtic duo Valtos. The Indian team also participated in the athletes’ parade—with male members in formal suits and female participants in traditional sarees paired with blazers—receiving a rousing welcome from the audience. Led by Indian Olympic medalists Mirabai Chanu and Lovlina Borgohain—who carried the flag and baton—the Indian contingent entered the arena after Brunei Darussalam and before Malaysia. India is represented by 123 athletes competing across eight able-bodied sports and five para-sports. Scotland, the host nation for the 2026 Commonwealth Games, made its entry last, in keeping with the tradition of multi-sport events. Reports indicate that approximately 3,000 athletes from 74 Commonwealth nations and territories will compete in 10 sports across four venues over the next 10 days, vying for 215 medals. Notably, six sports are hosting para-events alongside able-bodied competitions, reinforcing the organizers’ vision of inclusive games. The budget for this edition is relatively modest; Glasgow stepped in to host the event after the Australian state of Victoria withdrew due to escalating costs. Having successfully hosted the games in 2014, the Scottish city has once again opened its doors, with this edition operating on a budget of approximately £160 million. India won 61 medals—including 22 golds—at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games; however, the medal tally is likely to be affected this time by the absence of traditionally high-yielding sports such as shooting, hockey, badminton, wrestling, and cricket. Meanwhile, India is set to host the subsequent edition of the Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad in 2030, which will be a full-fledged event featuring 17 sports. Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to social media platform X to extend his heartfelt best wishes to the Indian contingent as the 23rd Commonwealth Games kicked off in Glasgow. I am fully confident that our athletes will participate in these Games with immense passion, determination, and a spirit of excellence; the skill and dedication of our players always inspire countless Indians.

Uttarakhand Unemployed March to Secretariat, Stage Sit-in Over Delayed Job Recruitments..

Under the banner of the Uttarakhand Unemployed Association, a large number of unemployed people marched to the Secretariat on Tuesday, July 21st, to press their various demands. Police, already present on Subhash Road, barricaded the protesters before the Secretariat. Angered, the unemployed sat on a sit-in protest on the road and began a vigorous demonstration to press their demands. During this protest, they demanded the immediate release of AE and JEE recruitment notifications by the Uttarakhand Public Service Commission, the early commencement of the pending recruitment process, the release of 1,500 recruitment notifications for the Uttarakhand Police, and the immediate initiation of the recruitment process for 400 Uttarakhand women police constable posts. Government had promised to release 60,000 vacancies to the unemployed The unemployed initially gathered at the Parade Ground and then marched on foot towards the Secretariat, where they were stopped by the police. Ram Kandwal, State President of the Unemployed Association, stated that both the central and state governments are deceiving the youth. He stated that the government had promised to release 60,000 vacancies to the unemployed, but this promise has not yet been fulfilled. Kandwal stated that while youth from other states are being brought here and offered jobs, the youth of the state are struggling to find employment. Kandwal stated that if the government had issued a notification for recruitment, the unemployed would not have been forced to take to the streets and protest. The Unemployed Association also strongly condemned the lathi charge against youth in Delhi yesterday. The youth participating in the protest stated that they have been preparing for competitive exams for years, but the constant delays in recruitment and the lack of notifications have left their future uncertain. They stated that completing the recruitment process on time would not only provide employment to unemployed youth but also fill vacant positions in various government departments. The youth warned that if the government does not take a positive decision on their demands soon, the movement will expand further.
