'Not Anti-Hindi': Uddhav Sena Distances From Stalin's Hardline Approach Amid Language Row
Shiv Sena (UBT) downplayed Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin's support to Uddhav and Raj Thackeray, emphasizing their opposition to Hindi is limited to primary schools. The Shiv Sena (UBT) downplayed Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin's support to the estranged cousins Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray, who joined hands to celebrate their victory over the Maharashtra government's decision to roll back Hindi as a third language from primary classes, saying that their opposition to Hindi is limited solely to its inclusion in primary schools. After Stalin urged for unity against imposition of Hindi from Thackeray brothers, Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut drew parallels between Maharashtra's pushback on Hindi and the more hardline opposition in Tamil Nadu, saying that the party only opposed the Centre's imposition of Hindi in primary education and it does not support a complete rejection of the language. 'The Southern states have been fighting for this issue for years. Their stand against the imposition of Hindi means they will not speak Hindi and neither let anyone speak Hindi. But that is not our stand in Maharashtra. We speak Hindi… Our stand is that the strictness for Hindi in primary schools will not be tolerated," Raut said as quoted by news agency ANI on Sunday. #WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut says, 'The Southern states have been fighting for this issue for years. Their stand against the imposition of Hindi means they will not speak Hindi and neither let anyone speak Hindi. But that is not our stand in… — ANI (@ANI) July 6, 2025 After the Thackeray brothers' victory rally last week gave fresh vigour to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister to fight Hindi dominance unitedly, Raut doused the fiery endorsement and wished Stalin luck in his battle. 'MK Stalin has congratulated us on this win of ours and said that he will learn from this. We wish him the best. But we haven't stopped anyone from speaking in Hindi because we have Hindi movies, Hindi theatre, and Hindi music here," he added. On the allegations of BJP that the Thackerays have made the issue of Hindi-Marathi political, he said, 'Yes, the two brothers have come together for politics…otherwise what have they come together for? Why have you come together with (deputy chief chief ministers) Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar, Praful Patel, Sunil Tatkare…is that for social service or distribution of wealth that they had accumulated?" MNS leader and former minister Bala Nandgaonkar also echoed similar sentiments saying that the two parties are not against Hindi. 'We are against the introduction of Hindi in classes 1-5," he said. Stalin's Support To Thackerays Following the rally by the Thackeray cousins in Mumbai, Stalin said that the struggle against Hindi imposition had 'transcended boundaries" and that the rally filled him with 'immense excitement". 'The language rights struggle, waged generation after generation by the DMK and the people of Tamil Nadu to defeat Hindi imposition, has now transcended state boundaries and is swirling like a storm of protest in Maharashtra," Stalin said. இந்தித் திணிப்பை முறியடிக்க திராவிட முன்னேற்றக் கழகமும், தமிழ்நாட்டு மக்களும் தலைமுறை தலைமுறையாக நடத்திவரும் மொழி உரிமைப் போர், மாநில எல்லைகளைக் கடந்து இப்போது மராட்டியத்தில் போராட்டச் சூறாவளியாகச் சுழன்றடித்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறது.தமிழ்நாட்டுப் பள்ளிகளில் மூன்றாவது மொழியாக… — (@mkstalin) July 5, 2025 'The enthusiasm and powerful oratory of the victory rally held today in Mumbai under the leadership of brother Uddhav Thackeray against Hindi imposition fills us with immense excitement," he added. The DMK chief further reiterated his resistance to the NEP's language policy and accused the BJP of linking the release of Rs 2,152 crore under the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan to Tamil Nadu's acceptance of Hindi and Sanskrit through the backdoor. He framed the opposition as a cultural safeguard rather than a political battle: 'The stance of the people of the state is for protection of India's pluralistic culture, not one that is driven by hatred." In a final warning to the BJP, Stalin declared: 'The BJP must atone for the betrayal it has committed against Tamil and Tamil Nadu. If not, Tamil Nadu will once again teach the BJP and its new allies a lesson they will never forget." Thackeray Brothers Reunion In a rare show of unity, the Thackeray cousins shared the stage for the first time in two decades at the Awaj Marathicha rally in Mumbai to celebrate the rollback of the controversial Hindi language policy in primary schools in Maharashtra. While addressing the joint rally at the NSCI Dome in Worli, Raj Thackeray said, 'Chief Minister Fadnavis managed to do what Balasaheb Thackeray could not – bring me and Uddhav together." Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday asserted that he and his cousin have 'come together to stay together". 'Raj, I and everyone else here is united. We have come together to stay together," he said, saying that they will capture power in the Mumbai civic body and Maharashtra together. top videos View all The language row came when the Maharashtra government issued an order in April to make Hindi as the compulsory third language for students in their primary classes. Amid backlash from regional parties, the NDA government amended its April 16 Government Resolution (GR) on June 17, changing Hindi from a compulsory to an optional subject. tags : Hindi maharashtra marathi MK Stalin Raj Thackeray tamil uddhav thackeray Location : Mumbai, India, India First Published: July 07, 2025, 18:07 IST News politics 'Not Anti-Hindi': Uddhav Sena Distances From Stalin's Hardline Approach Amid Language Row

Beatles song banned for lyrics - but John Lennon thought reason was 'crazy'
The Beatles had a number of songs banned by radio stations, but one of John Lennon's most famous tracks for the band was banned for a very different reason The Beatles, known for stirring the pot, certainly did so when John Lennon's bold statement in 1966 that they were "more popular than Jesus" sparked outrage among American Christians, contributing to the band's cessation of touring later that year. Their knack for pushing boundaries also saw several of their songs slapped with bans by radio stations. The BBC censored 'A Day in the Life' over alleged drug references, while 'The Ballad of John and Yoko' faced bans from some US stations for its mention of Christ. The trend of controversy carried on even after John, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr went on to solo endeavours post-1970. For instance, the ECHO delved into how Paul McCartney and Wings' 'Hi, Hi, Hi' was shunned by the BBC for perceived nods to sex and drugs. John's Beatles legacy includes one particularly infamous tune, 'Happiness Is a Warm Gun', penned by him in 1968 and presented under the Lennon-McCartney songwriting banner like all compositions from the duo for the Fab Four. The title, which kick-started the song, was lifted straight from the May 1968 issue of American Rifleman magazine, where an article by Warren W. Herlihy depicted his experience teaching his son shooting skills, reports the Liverpool Echo. Regarding his first impression upon seeing it, John remarked, "I just thought it was a fantastic, insane thing to say. A warm gun means you just shot something." The song was part of the Beatles' iconic 'White Album', released in November 1968, a tumultuous time for the band as creative differences began to emerge. Despite their differences, they collaborated to craft this intricate track. John revealed that he merged "three sections of different songs" to create the final piece, which tackled various themes. Upon its release, certain sections of the song were interpreted as references to sex and drugs. The 'warm gun' in the title was seen as a metaphor for John's desire for Yoko Ono, leading to a ban by the BBC and commercial radio stations. The line 'I need a fix' was also perceived by some as a reference to heroin. However, John disputed this, explaining: "'Happiness Is A Warm Gun' was another one which was banned on the radio – they said it was about shooting up drugs. But they were advertising guns and I thought it was so crazy that I made a song out of it. It wasn't about 'H' (heroin) at all". The lyrics 'Mother Superior jumped the gun' stemmed from John's longing for Yoko. He wasn't overly concerned that the song's sexual undertones were picked up by censors. John elaborated: "Oh, well, by then I'm into double meanings. The initial inspiration was from the magazine cover. But that was the beginning of my relationship with Yoko and I was very sexually oriented then. When we weren't in the studio, we were in bed." Although 'The White Album' garnered mixed reviews and radio stations boycotted 'Happiness Is A Warm Gun', critics commended the song, which all Beatles members proclaimed their favourite on the album. A Record Mirror magazine review described it as "a serene ballad, but is soon taken over in the true vein of this foremost stylist". US singer-songwriter Tori Amos observed: "The Beatles had the ability to make you think about the world, not just your own little world. They could put the microcosm and macrocosm in the same song. They sang of drugs and guns without telling me what to feel about it. That's genius."

Huma Deploys Hi Scribe to Automate Clinical Documentation and Billing Using AI
New York, June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Huma Therapeutics, the global healthcare AI company, today announced the launch of Hi Scribe, a generative AI clinical documentation tool designed to automate and streamline the creation of clinical notes and supporting materials. Hi Scribe is built on top of the Huma AI foundation engine, known as Huma Intelligence (Hi), which also supports Hi Nurse (10X Nurse) and several other AI features. It is powered by insights from over 60 million consultations conducted by eConsult, one of Huma's portfolio companies acquired last year. Available within the Huma Cloud Platform (HCP), Hi Scribe automates clinical documentation in real-time, automatically generates structured clinical notes and enables direct integration into electronic health record (EHR) systems. It is designed for both in-person and virtual care settings, supporting clinicians across the full spectrum of digital health delivery. Already launched in the UK to 870 practices (covering 10 million patients) with writeback and coding capabilities for EMIS and SystmOne, the technology leverages Huma's strategic partnership with Google Cloud to deliver secure, scalable, and clinically compliant AI services to frontline healthcare workers. 'Administrative burdens—from documentation to process compliance and accurate billing—are among the greatest challenges facing healthcare systems globally,' said Dan Vahdat, CEO and Founder of Huma. 'Hi Scribe gives clinicians critical time back, allowing them to focus on what matters most: their patients. We're excited to roll this out across the 4,500+ health systems and clinics powered by Huma technologies around the world.' Regulatory-Compliant, Clinically Integrated Hi Scribe fully complies with regulations set forth by the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) as a medical device and is part of Huma's globally compliant, enterprise-grade technology suite. It integrates directly into EHR systems, enabling clinicians to submit documentation seamlessly without disrupting workflow. As part of a broader care enablement strategy, Hi Scribe empowers clinicians with intelligent tools that reduce documentation burden while enhancing consistency and care quality. The launch follows recent NHS England guidance supporting the use of AI in clinical documentation and highlights Huma's role in driving innovation across public and private healthcare systems. With documentation consuming up to a third of clinical time globally, Huma is expanding access to Hi Scribe across its international footprint, which includes over 70 countries and 50 million engaged individuals. 'This tool brings clinicians' attention back to their patients,' said Dr. Murray Ellender, Head of UK Healthcare, Huma. 'By leveraging generative AI with strong regulatory governance, we are ensuring safe, effective, and efficient care. We are excited in the near future to start helping care providers with intelligent suggestions for next steps—ensuring that nothing is left unnoticed. We built this product in partnership with Opencast – a leading UK tech consultancy' 'Using Hi Scribe to transcribe my medical notes has transformed my day—saving me 2-3 minutes every consultation, reducing pressure, and letting me focus fully on my patients.' said Dr Ross Dyer-Smith, NHS GP. 'I have more headspace to think, listen, and make decisions. It's brought back more of the most satisfying part of practicing medicine—truly engaging and connecting with my patients.' U.S. Expansion with Wheel Huma's partner Wheel, the largest telemedicine provider-as-a-service platform in the U.S., will be among the first to bring Hi Scribe to virtual-first care environments in the U.S. through its Horizon platform. 'Clinicians shouldn't have to choose between delivering great care and managing documentation,' said Michelle Davey, CEO and Founder of Wheel. 'At Wheel, we're always looking for ways to make their jobs easier without adding friction. With Hi Scribe now integrated into Horizon, we're excited to be among the first to bring this kind of transformative AI technology to virtual care in the U.S.— giving our partners and their patients a better experience.' As Wheel brings Hi Scribe to market, it will be made available to enterprise organizations and digital health partners, expanding access to AI-powered documentation across U.S. virtual care delivery. Nationwide Rollouts Huma has also partnered with several countries to roll out this technology across all clinics as part of government-led digital health initiatives. Capturing clinical notes and automatically entering them into EMR systems remains a major challenge for many countries striving to accelerate the digitalization of their healthcare infrastructure.
