British-Era secret tunnel found inside Delhi Legislative Assembly, connects to Red Fort

  A tunnel-like structure was discovered at the Delhi Legislative Assembly on Thursday. Speaking to ANI, Delhi Legislative Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel said that the tunnel connects the legislative assembly to Red Fort and was used by the Britishers to avoid reprisal while moving freedom fighters.  Goel further informed that the Delhi Legislative Assembly, which was used as Central Legislative Assembly after shifting of capital from Kolkata to Delhi in 1912, was turned into a court in 1926 and Britishers used this tunnel to bring freedom fighters to the court.  "When I became an MLA in 1993, there was hearsay about a tunnel present here that goes till Red Fort and I tried to search for its history. But there was no clarity over it," he stated.  "Now we have got the mouth of the tunnel but we are not digging it further as all the paths of the tunnel have been destroyed due to metro projects and sewer installations," he added.  The assembly speaker added that i...

India's athletes won more medals in Tokyo than all previous paralympics combined, not yet appreciated


 In its best-ever performance till date and even crossing the tally of Tokyo 2020 Olympics, India's unprecedented Paralympics campaign proved that the country has a lot of room for sports provided they are given equal opportunities and appreciation. 

India has created history at the Tokyo Paralympics, returning home with as many as 19 medals, their best-ever tally in a single edition of the Paralympics by far. With as many as 5 gold medals, 8 silver medals, and 6 bronze medals, finishing inside the top 25 at the Para Games in Tokyo. 

But the reality is even after achieving such a feat and winning more medals than all their previous Paralympics combined, those athletes are struggling to find their place in the chaos of Indian society which has to date only been recognized mainstream sports or the athletes that are not specially abled. 

Sunil Nagar told his son Krishna that he might not be able to help him grow tall, but he certainly could learn to jump as high as he wished. In that simple advice was born India's sensational gold-plated jump smash as Krishna Nagar became a Paralympic champion on Sunday. 

The Indian campaign was full of such stories, yes India might not be able to compete their tallies with China or US but the truth is even to get here, Indian athletes had to fight through odds of politics, society norms, mental pressures and most importantly their physical disabilities.

They represented the country at an international stage just like any other sports be it cricket, hockey or other Olympics sports, but their disabilities have been labeled as a 'benefit' which is why the Indian population fails to recognize them and hype them up just like Neeraj Chopra.

We arent saying other sports should be less appreciated but just that they too deserve their part of popularity because this is what motivates them and go the distance again.

Nevertheless, India is improving in sports other than cricket which is very amusing to see and hope they break even more records in the coming Paris 2024 Games.

Calcutta High Court orders Court-Monitored CBI Probe into West Bengal Post-Poll Violence cases of Murder & Rape

In what comes as a major setback for the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government, the Calcutta high court on Thursday ordered a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the allegations of post-poll violence in the state. A seven-member committee set up by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) had earlier looked into the incidents of violence following the West Bengal assembly elections and recommended a court-monitored CBI probe. CBI will probe the allegations of murder and rape, raised shortly after the overwhelming victory of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) against rival Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in these elections. According to people familiar with the development, t he Calcutta high court also directed that a separate Special Investigation Team (SIT), with senior officers from the West Bengal cadre, be set up to probe the other allegations cited by the NHRC committee. This SIT will comprise three IPS officers -- Soumet Mitra, Suman Bala Sahoo, and Ranbir Kumar. The...

China continues 'MISSION TO SURROUND INDIA FROM ALL SIDES' at an alarming rate, tensions rise for Indian government

  China has been trying to systematically flex its muscle in the Indian Ocean region to encircle India, as India has an advantage over China in the maritime domain. China has already forged maritime ties with Pakistan, Seychelles, Mauritius, Maldives, Bangladesh, and Myanmar.  The Communist Party of China is not only focusing on growing its maritime ties but also its military bases in these country where it starts with lending loans and slowly iin return of favour and development, it demands to build an overseas military base on their land.  The latest evident target is Sri Lanka as the country has already declared emergency on food & struggles with its economy.  By gaining foothold in Sri Lanka, China can directly challenge the Indian Navy's superiority in the Indian Ocean region and gain control of critical maritime seaway through which China's most crude oil passes.  Chinese investments and presence till now were confined mostly in the southern coastline ...
