Centre withholds overseas scholarship for 66 candidates, says clearance subject to fund availability
The Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment has issued provisional scholarship letters to 40 out of 106 selected candidates for the 2025-'26 National Overseas Scholarship, saying that the remaining 66 will receive theirs 'subject to availability of funds'. In previous years, all selected candidates were issued letters at the same time, the Hindustan Times reported. The National Overseas Scholarship, which began in 1954-'55, supports students from Scheduled Castes, Denotified Nomadic Tribes, semi-nomadic tribes, landless agricultural labourers and traditional artisan communities. The scheme funds master's or PhD degrees at the top 500 global universities as per QS rankings, offering up to $16,920, or nearly Rs 14.5 lakh, annually for a maximum duration of three years for master's programmes and four years for PhD programmes. It provides 125 scholarships annually, capped at 10% per state. The applicants must have a family income under Rs 8 lakh per annum. The QS World University Rankings are a ranking of the world's top universities produced by Quacquarelli Symonds and published annually since 2004. In the Union Budget announced in February, the Centre allocated Rs 130 crore to the National Overseas Scholarship for 2025-'26. This was a 36.84% increase from Rs 95 crore in 2024–'25, the newspaper reported. As of December, the ministry had disbursed Rs 56.29 crore to 80 beneficiaries for the academic year 2024-'25. In a notice dated July 1, the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment said that it received 440 applications for the 2025-'26 academic year between March and April. It shortlisted 106 candidates for the scholarship, placed 64 on a 'non-selected' list and rejected 270 applicants. The 'non-selected' category included students left out due to the 10% cap per state or other quotas. These candidates may still be considered if those initially selected fail to submit the required documents. The scheme has 125 slots, but the allotments depend on the availability of funds. This means that the rejections are not final and students may still receive the scholarship later, as per the Hindustan Times. An unidentified official from the ministry told the newspaper that the Union government has funds but they cannot be released without clearance from the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, which is chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 'It is an issue with the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs not approving the money allocated to these scholarship schemes,' the official was quoted as saying by the Hindustan Times. 'We have the money but we also need green signal from above to give it out.' The Maulana Azad National Fellowship, which is open for candidates from Muslim, Sikh, Parsi, Buddhist and Christian communities, has also seen delays, with more than 1,400 PhD scholars not receiving stipends since January 2025, the Hindustan Times reported. There were also discrepancies with the National Fellowship for Scheduled Castes. For the June 2024 cycle, the National Testing Agency first published a selection list of 865 scholars in March 2025. However, it revised the list in April, reducing the selections to 805 and replacing 487 previously chosen candidates with new ones, the newspaper reported.

The Lure of Comrade Mamdani
As he led a guerrilla war to overthrow dictator Fulgencio Bastista in 1958, Fidel Castro promised Cubans that he was staunchly anticommunist and pro-free-speech. Once Batista was gone, Castro said Cuba would hold elections. Argentina's Juan Perón wasn't much different. Before he was first elected in 1946, the strongman said democracy must 'serve the people.' As a candidate for president of Venezuela in 1998, Hugo Chávez framed himself as democrat. All three socialists lied. They were extremists all along. The lesson is that communists and fascists, whom F.A. Hayek called members of 'rival socialist factions,' will say anything to get into power and do anything to stay there. This is something to think about as Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party's socialist candidate for mayor of New York, poses as the morally superior candidate who will respect differences and protect rights. His radical utterances say otherwise and ought to frighten the pants off New Yorkers. Once in office, with an equally extreme City Council, it won't be easy to stop him from doing grave damage to the place some of us call home. Before Castro's communist revolution, Cuba had the fifth-highest per capita income in the Western Hemisphere, where it ranked third in life expectancy. Its literacy rate of 76% was the fourth highest in Latin America. In the 1950s, according to a 2005 PBS documentary, 'Cuba ranked 11th in the world in the number of doctors per capita. Many private clinics and hospitals provided services for the poor. Cuba's income distribution compared favorably with that of other Latin American societies.' Today the island has dire shortages of food, medicine, housing and doctors, crumbling hospitals, recurring blackouts and a shrinking population. In the 1920s Argentina was one of the world's top 10 economies. The Great Depression of the 1930s destabilized Argentina's democracy, and the country began to turn away from market economics. Perón was a fascist demagogue who undermined republican ideals in the name of the people. He died in 1974, but repeated bouts of peronismo, during military and civilian governments, have long haunted the country. By 2023 the breadbasket of South America was a basket case. People were eating out of trash bins on the streets of Buenos Aires, a once-glorious city. Venezuela began to embrace collectivism in the mid-1970s, when oil prices boomed and politicians thought the only hard question was how to redistribute income 'fairly.' When Chávez was elected he doubled down on socialism on the grounds that it hadn't been truly tried. He imported Cuban communism and made Venezuela one of the most desperately poor and unfree countries in South America. The common denominator among these three tragedies is that in each case a true believer, good at lying, bamboozled the public. I watched the chameleon Chávez in Caracas in late 1998 when Venezuelans were preparing for the December presidential election. They wanted change. Something new. Chávez, the outsider, offered social justice and an end to corruption. He denied he was a communist. He pretended to be a third-way thinker in the spirit of British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Only later would the public learn of how Cuba had infiltrated the Venezuelan barracks and the young paratrooper had been one of its best students. Investor Bill Ackman, who has pledged to try to defeat Mr. Mamdani, calls the 33-year-old politician 'smart.' A better adjective is 'slick.' He isn't what he appears and that's by design. Take his primary campaign, in which he stressed 'affordability,' along with 'dignity' and delivering what New Yorkers 'deserve.' That was the PG-13 message he blasted across the city. He didn't run on 'seizing the means of production,' a goal he let slip in a 2021 video talk. Nor did we hear much about his plan to turn New York into an Orwellian 'Animal Farm' of equality. The former is creepy but, he says, is simply formulaic socialism. The latter would be live on day one through greater redistribution. Have you made something of yourself? If so, he's coming for you. Taking Mr. Mamdani at his word—that he wants to make New Yorkers better off—it's hard to call him intelligent. Free bus rides, rent freezes and subsidized groceries make him sound like a fifth-grader running for class president. New York needs investment, competition and innovation to bring prices down. Under Mr. Mamdani's price controls and subsidies, things will go in the opposite direction because demand will naturally outstrip supply. Set minimum wage at $30 to end 'exploitation' and see a black market for labor flourish. Either he doesn't know this, which means he isn't too bright, or he does know it and he's a first-class fibber. Could be a little of each. Boy wonder Mamdani would be a train wreck as mayor. But one goal he can undoubtedly achieve is the eradication of billionaires. As the Latin American experience demonstrates, capital and capitalists go and stay where they're well treated. Poor New York. Write to O'Grady@

Bihar voter list revision: Lalu Prasad, Tejashwi say conspiracy to snatch rights
Patna: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) national president Lalu Prasad Yadav on Monday launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah over the ongoing voter list verification process in Bihar. Taking to social media platform X, Lalu Prasad wrote, 'Two Gujaratis are trying to snatch the right to vote of 8 crore Biharis. These two Gujaratis hate Bihar, the Constitution, and democracy. Wake up and raise your voice! Save democracy and the Constitution.' The voter list revision exercise ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections has triggered a major political storm, with the opposition accusing the Centre, the Bihar government, and the Election Commission of hatching a conspiracy to delete the names of crores of voters to manipulate the elections. Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav also took to X, calling the exercise a 'deep conspiracy' to disenfranchise voters in Bihar. 'A deep conspiracy of the vote ban in Bihar. The game of cutting the votes of Dalits, OBCs, and minorities and adding fake votes has started. This is the deepest conspiracy to implement the vote bandi in Bihar,' Tejashwi wrote. He further alleged that 'Modi-Nitish are working through the Election Commission, determined to crush the Constitution and democracy and snatch your right to vote. These people are now upset after seeing their direct defeat. When the vote of the voter is abolished, then what is the use of democracy and the Constitution?' The issue has now reached the Supreme Court, with several petitions filed against the voter list revision, calling it unconstitutional and anti-people, and demanding immediate intervention to prevent the alleged removal of lakhs of names from the voter list. On Monday, senior advocate Kapil Sibal mentioned the matter before the Supreme Court, seeking an urgent hearing. The apex court has agreed to hear the case on Thursday, July 10.
