"Their recognition reflects the rich diversity and enduring legacy of Indian literary traditions and highlights the transformative power of literature to inspire, enlighten, and unite. We extend our

Trump's comments on India and its economy 'belittling, unacceptable': Anand Sharma
Congress leader and former commerce minister Anand Sharma on Monday asserted that US President Donald Trump's comments on India and its economy are "belittling and unacceptable", as he urged the government not to succumb to the American leader's "bullying tactics" to sign a "suboptimal" trade deal. In a statement, Sharma said India must uphold its sovereignty and supreme national interests and Parliament as well as leaders of all political parties must be taken in confidence on any understanding reached with the US. "President Trump has triggered an upheaval and caused unprecedented disruption in the world order by his utterances and actions. His comments on India and its economy are belittling and unacceptable," the Congress leader said. His remarks come days after Trump announced the imposition of 25 per cent tariff and penalties on India and called India and Russia "dead economies". Echoing Trump's criticism of the Indian economy, Rahul Gandhi had last week said everybody except Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman know that the country's economy is "dead". In his statement, Sharma said India has withstood pressures and threats in the past and emerged stronger. "President Trump is mistaken that India does not have options. As the fourth largest economy India has resilience and inherent strength to engage with the world on principles of equality and mutual respect," Sharma said. "Signing of a robust economic and trade agreement with the UK is most welcome. India should prioritise concluding India-EU Trade deal. It is equally important to engage with major trading blocs and regions: Africa Union, ASEAN, GCC and LAC to deepen market access and trade," Sharma said. He said the government must not succumb to Trump's "bullying tactics" to sign a "suboptimal" trade deal. "India must uphold its sovereignty and supreme national interests. Parliament and leaders of all political parties must be taken in confidence on any understanding reached with the US," Sharma said.

Delhi police's 'Bangladeshi language' label for Bengali an 'insult', says TN CM
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Monday said the Delhi police's alleged description of Bengali as a Bangladeshi language was a "direct insult" that exposed a dark mindset and he supported his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee on the issue. Stalin said the Delhi Police, under the Union Home Ministry, has described Bengali as a "Bangladeshi language." This is a direct insult to the very language in which our National Anthem was written, he said. In a social media post, he said: "Such statements are not inadvertent errors or slips. They expose the dark mindset of a regime that consistently undermines diversity and weaponises identity. In the face of this assault on non-Hindi languages, Hon'ble @MamataOfficial Didi stands as a shield for the language and people of West Bengal. She will not let this attack pass without a fitting response." On August 3, West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamta Banerjee lashed out at the Delhi Police for referring to the Bengali language as "Bangladeshi national language" in a purported letter, alleging that it was "insulting, anti-national and unconstitutional."

BJP's Dr. Vinusha Reddy was chosen as sole Indian delegate for the prestigious US leadership exchange program
Kurnool: Dr. Vinusha Reddy, BJP spokesperson from Andhra Pradesh, has been officially selected by the US Embassy in New Delhi as the only Indian delegate for the 2025 International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) — the US State Department's premier exchange initiative for emerging global leaders. The program, running from August 9 to August 30, will focus on the theme 'Women in Politics and Civil Society,' with participation from representatives of 20 countries including Japan, Germany, Argentina, Ukraine, South Africa, and Taiwan. During the program, Dr. Reddy and fellow delegates will travel across multiple American cities — including Washington D.C., Boston, Manchester and Concord (New Hampshire), Columbia (South Carolina), and Salt Lake City (Utah) — engaging with U.S. lawmakers, civic organizations, and women leaders. Key components of the itinerary include a leadership workshop by Gallup, a session with the Congressional Caucus for Women's Issues, and policy discussions with organizations advocating for equal pay and gender parity in political life. A medical practitioner and author, Dr. Vinusha Reddy runs a hospital in Kurnool and penned the acclaimed book 'India Before & After 2014: Why Bharat Needs BJP?' She also represented India at the 2023 BRICS Political Parties Plus Dialogue Summit in South Africa, where she played a pivotal role in drafting the summit resolution alongside BJP leader Annamalai Kuppusamy. Her IVLP selection comes as India intensifies focus on women's representation, with the central government's proposed 33% reservation for women in the 2029 Lok Sabha and assembly elections. Speaking to The Hans India ahead of her visit, Dr. Reddy expressed gratitude to the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for championing women's leadership. 'This is not just a personal honour but a recognition of the BJP's commitment to empowering new voices, especially women,' she said. With former Indian IVLP alumni including Indira Gandhi, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Morarji Desai, and Prime Minister Modi, Dr. Reddy joins a prestigious legacy of Indian leaders contributing to global dialogue and diplomacy.
