British could never capture this only state of India, even the Mughals failed to win it, its name is... India was first ruled by the Mughals and then the British took over who entered the country in 1857. This ended the Mughal Empire. Babar laid the foundation of the Mughal Empire in India in 1526. The British entered the country in 1857, when they ended the Mughal Empire. Before 1526, India was ruled by different dynasties, but Mughal rule was established after the invasion of Babar in 1526. However, during the rule of the Mughals and the British, there was a state in the country which could not be captured by either of them. The British ruled India for about 200 years from 1858 and lasted till 1947. During this period, they looted Indian resources extensively. During this time, there was a state in the country where neither the Mughals could establish their foothold nor the British gathered the courage to go there. That state was none other than Goa. Goa was the only state in India which neither the Mughals nor the British could capture. However, Goa was also a slave and was ruled by the Portuguese. The Portuguese ruled Goa for about 450 years. Goa got independence 14 years after the country got independence. India became independent from the British on 15 August 1947, but Goa got independence from the Portuguese 14 years later on 19 December 1961.

Trying to motivate people to visit J&K: Omar
Chief minister Omar Abdullah, who was in Gujarat to promote J&K tourism, said that post the Pahalgam attack, tourist places have been secured in Kashmir and only those places which haven't been cleared by security are closed. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah pays tribute to Mahatma Gandhi during a visit to the Sabarmati Ashram, in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. (PTI) Omar on Friday while concluding a two-day tour of Gujarat said he is trying to motivate people of different parts of the country to visit J&K as tourism is the backbone of the economy of the UT. 'In the immediate aftermath of the Pahalgam attack, almost all our tourist destinations were closed for a security audit. We only started reopening them once we were satisfied with the results of that audit,' he said. He added that several tourist places which haven't been cleared by security agencies are still closed. Omar earlier had told mediapersons that even those who were responsible for the attack on tourists were killed. 'They were killed not in the city or close to tourist places but in a far off place,' he said while making his point that Kashmir is a safe tourist destination now. He said that he is trying to motivate people to visit J&K as our economy is relying on the tourism sector.' On Friday, Omar also visited Sabarmati Ashram and said his Ahmedabad visit is now complete. 'My visit to Ahmedabad is now complete. I feel both humbled & privileged to have been shown around the Sabarmati Ashram of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. His teachings ring true even today & point us in the direction we should take but seldom do,' J&K chief minister wrote on X. On Thursday, Omar Abdullah visited Sabarmati River Front promenade and Statue of Unity and praised this place. 'While in #Ahmedabad for a tourism event I took advantage of being here to get my morning run at the famed Sabarmati River Front promenade. It's one of the nicest places I've been able to run & it was a pleasure to get to share it with so many other walkers/runners. I even managed to run past the amazing Atal Foot Bridge,' Omar wrote on X while sharing his jogging pictures which even caught the attention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Good to see Omar enjoying visit to Statue of Unity: PM 'Kashmir to Kevadia! Good to see Shri Omar Abdullah Ji enjoying his run at the Sabarmati Riverfront and visiting the Statue of Unity. His visit to SoU gives an important message of unity and will inspire our fellow Indians to travel to different parts of India,' Modi said on X. Omar on Thursday evening inaugurated a high-profile roadshow and business meet in Ahmedabad, aimed at strengthening tourism and trade ties between Jammu & Kashmir and Gujarat. The event brought together stakeholders from Gujarat and Jammu & Kashmir to foster partnerships in tourism, trade, and business innovation. 'Jammu & Kashmir is open for business,' said the CM, adding, 'And we welcome our friends from Gujarat to explore, invest, and be part of our growth story.' Parra questions Omar's visit to Statue of Unity PDP legislative party leader Waheed ur Rehman Parra on Friday questioned Omar's visit to Gujarat's 'Statue of Unity' monument saying 'that if any other leader from Kashmir would have visited the statue, the NC would have branded them as BJP or RSS agents'. Parra who is legislator from Pulwama alleged that NC has a legacy of shifting definitions in power since 1932. 'True, sir. The transition from @RahulGandhi's Bharat Jodo as the symbol of unity to the Prime Minister's Statue of Unity makes the emancipation clear. Until you attain power, Congress & INDIA alliance are your definitions of unity. Yet, if any Kashmiri party or leader nears the statue, you'd waste no time in branding them as 'Sanghi' or 'Nagpuri.' Your shifting definitions in power & while chasing it remain the only legacy of NC since 1932,' Para wrote on X while reacting to J&K chief minister's post on X. Travel broadens horizons and mind: Omar Omar while addressing PM Modi said travel broadens the horizons and mind. 'I'm a firm believer that travel broadens the horizons & the mind @narendramodi ji. It's especially important for us in J&K as tourism is a crucial part of our economy & has the potential to gainfully employ lakhs of people. That's why I & my colleagues are trying to convince more of our fellow Indians to visit J&K, especially after the tragic events earlier this year,' Omar wrote on X.

Trump says he will 'release everything' related to Epstein Files amid reports of FBI redacting his name
Amid backlash, US President Donald Trump said that he will 'release everything' related to the Epstein Files. Trump's proclamation came after reports emerged that the FBI is redacting his name from the document before public release read more The clamour for releasing the Epstein files has overshadowed Trump's desperate bid to highlight the success of his first six months in power because it's not his rivals but his own base, which is up in arms. File image Hours after an explosive report revealed that the FBI 'redacted' US President Donald Trump's name from the Epstein Files, the American leader said that he wants to release 'everything" about the document revealing the ill-deeds of convicted sex offender and British financier Jeffrey Epstein. The proclamation from the president came amid growing backlash even among Republicans over his administration's reluctance to release the files. Trump's recent comment also marked a flip-flop from his previous assertion when he questioned the 'fascination" of his supporters with the case, dubbing it 'pretty boring stuff'. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD During an interview with Newsmax, the president also gave an insight into Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's conversation with the deceased sex offender's convicted accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, which went on for nine hours at a federal prison estate in Florida. 'I think [Blanche] probably wanted to know, you know, just to get a feeling of it, because we'd like to release everything, but we don't want people to get hurt that shouldn't be hurt,' Trump told Newsmax host Rob Finnerty. 'I want to release everything,' the president declared. 'I just don't want people to get hurt.' BREAKING: Trump says he wants to release 'everything' related to Epstein files… Wait… So Obama didn't 'write them' and it's not a 'hoax,' after the FBI redacted his name? — Brian Krassenstein (@krassenstein) August 2, 2025 'Todd went in, and I think he just wants to make sure that innocent people aren't hurt,' Trump added. However, the president maintained that he hasn't spoken with his deputy attorney general about Maxwell and doesn't know if there are plans to release a transcript of the interview. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD FBI reportedly redacted Trump's name from Epstein Files While the Trump administration often boasted about being 'transparent', an explosive report revealed that the president's name was redacted from documents surrounding the investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as the administration prepared for their potential public release. According to a report by Bloomberg, an investigator in the case reportedly blacked out Trump's name and the names of other high-profile figures, claiming that the information constituted an 'unwarranted invasion of privacy". In a previous report from The Wall Street Journal, it was mentioned that Attorney General Pam Bondi told the president that his name was in the files back in May. The matter garnered public anger in July after the Department of Justice and the FBI declined to release any additional documents. Public scrutiny of Trump's connections to Epstein and the financier's crimes and circumstances of his death intensified soon after the memo was released. In February this year, the White House handed over binders of largely publicly available Epstein-related documents to several far-right influencers in an apparent effort to prove that the administration was being transparent about the files. At that time, Bondi called the release of the documents the 'first phase' and went on to tell Fox News that other documents, including the so-called 'client list', are sitting on her desk for review. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD However, in the July memo, the FBI and DoJ backtracked and said that there is 'no basis to revisit the disclosure of those materials' despite demands from MAGA supporters and allies for full accountability. Hence, it remains unclear whether the Trump administration would ever release the full Epstein Files.
