Jardim, booked earlier in the second half also for delaying the game, sat in front of goal after the ball went out for a goal kick and was shown a second yellow, the referee ignoring his gestures towards his stomach, possibly indicating injury. Referee Flavio Rodrigues de Souza remained unmoved as the visiting Vasco players protested. Vasco were punished when Internacional then scored, missing out on a win due to a late equaliser for the second league game in a row at Porto Alegre. The draw on Sunday leaves Vasco 16th in the standings, only above the bottom-four relegation zone spots on goal difference after winning four of their 15 league games so far. REUTERS

Are we globalising ourselves out of community?
According to US economist and political analyst Jeffrey Sachs, globalisation did not occur only in recent decades, but began as early as when humans started migrating out of Africa tens of thousands of years ago. Like it or not, globalisation will soldier on unfazed and is merely entering a new phase. As history has shown, its reach and character will evolve with the advance of technology and various national policies, affecting us both positively and negatively. The voyages of figures like Christopher Columbus and Vasco da Gama globalised travel and trading by sea while also giving rise to transoceanic empires , colonisation and the proliferation of slavery. The Industrial Revolution accelerated the world's scientific discoveries and revolutionised modes of production while eventually bringing about our reliance on fossil fuels and the resulting environmental dangers We are now living in the digital age of globalisation . People, goods and services are connected more than ever, and new ideas are ever at our fingertips. Governments and corporations collect big data, not just domestically, but internationally.

Tipu Sultan, Anglo-Mysore wars missing from NCERT's new Class 8 social science book
The newly released NCERT Class 8 Social Science textbook has drawn attention for omitting key historical figures like Tipu Sultan and events such as the Anglo-Mysore wars from its chapter on colonial rule. While the book offers fresh economic and cultural perspectives, critics question the gaps in its portrayal of India's resistance against British THE NEW TEXTBOOK COVERSTitled Exploring Society: India and Beyond (Part 1), the textbook traces the arrival of Europeans in India starting from the late 1400s, beginning with Vasco da Gama. It highlights events like the Battle of Plassey (1757), the economic exploitation under colonial rule, and the 1857 rebellion, portraying how British colonialism drained India's wealth and disrupted traditional SULTAN AND MYSORE RESISTANCE LEFT OUTUnlike the previous textbook, the new edition omits Tipu Sultan, Haidar Ali, and the four Anglo-Mysore wars — a key chapter in the resistance to British expansion in southern India. These figures, once highlighted as major opponents of British power, no longer appear in the revised colonial FOCUS ON RESISTANCE MOVEMENTS While Mysore's resistance is missing, the book includes early uprisings like the Sannyasi-Fakir rebellion, Kol Uprising, and Santhal rebellion. A separate chapter on the Marathas mentions the Anglo-Maratha wars and states that the British 'took India from the Marathas more than from the Mughals or any other power.'NCERT'S EXPLANATION FOR THE OMISSIONMichel Danino, chair of the NCERT textbook development group, clarified that the current Class 8 textbook aims to give an overview rather than exhaustive detail. 'We fall back into the old mode of cramming textbooks with dates and wars if we try to include everything,' he said. On whether Tipu Sultan might appear in Part 2, he added, 'Probably not.'One of the key features of the new book is its focus on the economic impact of colonialism. Citing economist Utsa Patnaik, it claims that colonial powers extracted wealth equivalent to $45 trillion (in today's value) from India between 1765 and 1938. It also refutes the common narrative that infrastructure like railways and telegraphs were British "gifts", stating they were largely funded by Indian taxpayers for colonial LOOT UNDER COLONIAL RULEThe textbook includes a new section on how colonial powers looted India's cultural wealth — statues, manuscripts, jewels, and artefacts — much of which ended up in European museums and private collections. It labels this appropriation as 'massive theft' carried out across colonised the textbook brings in important perspectives on colonial exploitation and cultural theft, its omission of major resistance figures like Tipu Sultan has sparked concern over whether it presents a holistic view of India's colonial past. Critics argue that skipping such chapters of history could dilute students' understanding of India's diverse anti-colonial struggle.- EndsMust Watch
