Established in 1823, Oxford University is one of the world's most prestigious and respected platforms for debates and discussions.

Now, the voice of Prayagraj will resonate through Shukla on this distinguished stage.
The Prayagraj Maha Kumbh witnessed participation from over 66 crore devotees this year. This Maha Kumbh was shaped as an innovation in Sanatan culture, blending tradition with technology to provide an unparalleled experience for pilgrims. The event showcased India's spiritual heritage, ethos of service, and global outlook, said Shukla. He further informed that the lecture is organised by the India Global Foundation, with Soumyata Mishra serving as the chief coordinator.

EC begins intensive revision of Bihar voters list, says only Indian citizens can vote
The poll authority reminded that Article 326 specifies eligibility to become an elector — only Indian citizens, above 18 years and ordinary resident in that constituency are eligible to be on voters list. In a statement, the EC said, 'The Constitution of India is supreme. All citizens, political parties and the Election Commission of India follow the Constitution.' The statement comes as opposition parties questioned the intent behind the intensive revision. New Delhi, Jun 28 (PTI) The Election Commission on Saturday said the special intensive revision of electoral rolls in Bihar has begun and reminded of a constitutional provision that says only Indian citizens can vote. Several opposition parties have said that the exercise carries the risk of willful exclusion of voters using the state machinery. The poll authority is carrying out an intensive review of electoral rolls this year in six states beginning with Bihar to weed out foreign illegal migrants by checking their place of birth. Bihar is going to polls this year while assembly polls in these five other states — Assam, Kerala, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal — are scheduled in 2026. The move, which would be later expanded to other states, assumes significance in the wake of a crackdown in various states on illegal foreign migrants, including from Bangladesh and Myanmar. The EC said the special revision has already started successfully in Bihar for verifying the eligibility of each elector with 'full participation' of all political parties. The poll panel already has nearly 78,000 booth level officers (BLOs) and is appointing over 20,000 more for new polling stations, it said. More than one lakh volunteers will be assisting genuine electors, particularly the old, sick, persons with disabilities, poor and other vulnerable groups during the special intensive revision. All recognised national and state political parties have already appointed 1,54,977 booth level agents (BLAs). They can still appoint more, it pointed out. BLAs are party workers who coordinate with BLOs during boreotation or revision of voters list. EC said printing as well as door-to-door distribution of new enumeration forms for all the existing 7,89,69,844 electors of Bihar has already started in each of the 243 Assembly Constituencies of the state. Out of the existing 7,89,69,844 electors, 4.96 crore electors, whose names are already in the last intensive revision of Electoral Roll on January 1, 2003, have to 'simply verify so, fill the Enumeration Form and submit it'.

Satellite images show Iran expanding Fardo nuclear facility after US bombed the site last week
New satellite images showed Iranian construction crews and heavy machinery at the Fordo nuclear facility five days after the US carried out massive strikes at Tehran's three nuclear sites. According to a report by The New York Post, images captured by Maxar Technologies on Friday showed crews operated excavators, bulldozers, and other construction vehicles near the craters and punctures in the ground above the nuclear facility caused by the GBU-57 bunker buster bombs dropped by American B-2s last weekend. The report also said that some satellite images showed apparent construction crews building access roads to the facility and rebuilding the damaged dirt road that led to the bunker laboratory that was targeted by the US as part of Israel's conflict with Iran. Similar construction activity was seen on the surface of the Fardo nuclear site in images from before the US attack. 'Those vehicles appeared to be moving unidentified contents out of the facility to a location roughly half-a-mile away,' the report added. The United Nation's nuclear watchdog, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has said that Fordo's centrifuges are currently 'no longer operational' and the facility has 'suffered enormous damage'. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said 'there is very, very, very considerable damage', the report added. The extent of the destruction — and the amount of time the Iranian regime's program has been set back — have yet to be officially determined. The Trump administration on Thursday insisted the operation had been a total success, berating journalists for having reported on an intelligence assessment that took a more conservative line. President Donald Trump "created the conditions to end the war, decimating – choose your word – obliterating, destroying Iran's nuclear capabilities", Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told journalists at the Pentagon. Earlier this week however, US media reported on a leaked preliminary US intelligence assessment that said the strikes had only set back Iran's nuclear programme by months – coverage sharply criticised by Hegseth and others. The Israeli military has said it had delivered a "significant hit" to Iran's nuclear programme. While it said its attacks had delayed the programme "by several years" it also said it was "still early to assess the results of the operation". Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday hailed a "historic victory" in the 12-day conflict and vowed to thwart "any attempt" by Iran to rebuild its nuclear programme, according to an AFP report. Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has hailed what he described as Iran's "victory" over Israel. "The American president exaggerated events in unusual ways," Khamenei said, insisting the strikes had done "nothing significant" to Iran's nuclear infrastructure, the report added. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi however called the damage "serious" and said a detailed assessment was under way. Doubts remain about whether Iran quietly removed more than 400 kilogrammes (880 pounds) of uranium enriched to 60 per cent from its most sensitive sites before the strikes – to hide it elsewhere in the country. The stockpile could in theory produce more than nine atomic bombs – if the enrichment level were raised to 90 per cent. A Khamenei adviser, Ali Shamkhani, has said that the country still had its stockpile. "Even if nuclear sites are destroyed, game isn't over, enriched materials, indigenous knowledge, political will remain," he said in a post on X. (With inputs from agencies)
