" Hindi Hai Hum, Watan Hai Hindustan Hamara": 26/11 Hero Amid Language Row
Praveen Kumar Teotia, part of 26/11 counter-terrorist operation, chose Pakistan's national poet Allama Iqbal's patriotic poem to drive home the point of oneness amid a raging language row in Maharashtra. "The dream of a developed India will only come true when we will walk together with one language. And we say ' Hindi hain hum, watan hai Hindustan hamara (Indians we are, India is our land)'," he told NDTV, in an interview, underlining the theme of oneness. Maharashtra has been in the spotlight for multiple incidents of targeted violence where the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena or MNS leaders went on a violent spree, singling out Hindi-speaking migrants and thrashing them brutally in public. "No, I am not angry with anyone. My mind is calm. Your emotions come to your mind when you see a poor person getting beaten up. And in that Mumbai, the Mumbai that we have considered our heritage, our economic capital, we shed our blood in that Mumbai. We served that Mumbai. And some people who do politics, only for their vote bank," said Mr Teotia. The former elite commando said he was in Mumbai in 2008 and the MNS workers did the same at that time also. "The North Indians, the people of UP and Bihar, the workers, the taxi drivers, they beat them up. And it went very badly. And even now, if you see, in February, the banks, their union had issued a circular in the name of MNS, that people like this are coming to the banks and threatening them," he said, adding he is privy to that information as several of his colleagues who are now retired are working in the banks in the city. The former soldier urged politicians to choose the "politics of development" and not create divisions in society. The controversy began when some traders in Mumbai were allegedly attacked by MNS workers for not speaking Marathi. The MNS had been demanding that traders and shopkeepers in the city speak Marathi, leading to tensions between the two groups. The police have been working to maintain law and order in the city and prevent any further escalation of the situation. The MNS has been advocating for the use of Marathi in public places and has been critical of those who do not speak the language. The party's chief, Raj Thackeray, has been vocal about the need for people to learn and speak Marathi, especially in Maharashtra. Citing the example of defence, Mr Teotia said it doesn't matter which state you come from, the language will always be Hindi. "Whether you are from Kashmir, or you are from Kanyakumari, or you are from Kutch, or you are from Kohima, it does not matter. Your language will always be Hindi. We keep India at the top," said the former soldier.

Will speak only in Hindi: Virar auto driver in fresh video; plaint filed
Vasai: Even as the MNS rally fiasco is settling down, another video has surfaced where an auto driver can be seen sternly saying that he will speak only in Hindi. Bhavesh Kanojiya, a UP native, said he was headed to Virar station when an auto driver sped past at close range. "I only told him to drive safely," claims Kanojiya. The auto driver, however, allegedly asked him to speak in Hindi. "I then parked my bike and spoke to him. He again stressed that he will speak only in Bhojpuri and Hindi," said Kanojiya. He alleged other auto drivers also tried to threaten him but a traffic constable intervened and resolved the issue. Later, he filed a non cognisable complaint against the driver. — Vishal Rajemahadik

Rush Hour: 9 dead in bridge collapse, Trump says BRICS was set up to ‘degenerate our dollar' & more
We're building a brand-new studio to bring you bold ground reports, sharp interviews, hard-hitting podcasts, explainers and more. Nine persons died and six were injured as several vehicles fell into the Mahisagar river as a bridge collapsed in Gujarat's Vadodara district on Wednesday. The incident took place at about 7.30 am when a slab between two piers of the 900-metre Gambhira bridge collapsed. The structure connected Vadodara and Anand districts. The bridge was inaugurated in 1985. Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel said that the road construction department had been ordered to immediately investigate the accident. Read on Two Indian Air Force pilots have died after a Jaguar fighter jet crashed near Rajasthan's Churu. The two-seater Jaguar trainer aircraft was on a routine training mission, said the Air Force. It also stated that no damage to civilian property had been reported. A court of inquiry has been constituted to ascertain the cause of the accident. This is the third SEPECAT Jaguar jet to crash this year. The Supreme Court has refused to urgently hear a petition seeking to stop the release of the Hindi film Udaipur Files. The film, which is scheduled to release in theatres on Friday, is reportedly based on the 2022 killing of Udaipur tailor Kanhaiya Lal. The writ petition was filed by Mohammed Javed, one of the eight persons accused in the murder case. Javed argued that the release of the film would violate his right to a fair trial. The petitioner has argued that the film, based on its trailer, appeared to be communally provocative. In June 2022, Lal, a tailor, was killed in Rajasthan's Udaipur for purportedly sharing a social media post in support of suspended Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson Nupur Sharma. She had made disparaging remarks about Prophet Muhammad during a television debate in May 2022. Read on United States President Donald Trump has said that a 10% tariff on imports from countries that are part of the BRICS grouping will be introduced 'pretty soon'. The comment followed Trump's warning to countries on Sunday against aligning with the 'anti-American policies' of the BRICS. Without offering evidence, Trump also accused BRICS of trying to weaken the US and undermine the dollar's position as the global reserve currency. 'BRICS was set up to degenerate our dollar and take our it off as the standard,' he said. 'And that's okay if they want to play that game, but I can play that game too.' The BRICS grouping comprises India, Brazil, Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates. Washington views the group as attempting to become an economic counterweight to the US. Read on
