3 min readUpdated: Jun 12, 2026 11:31 AM IST The 2026 FIFA World Cup is underway and while some of the sport’s biggest names would be putting their bodies on the line to win football’s most covetted trophy, one of the most succesfull teams in the tournament is sitting out yet again, with a fair dose of existential dread hovering over them. This is the third consecutive men’s World Cup to not feature Italy, a rather unthinkable scenario considering they are the joint second most successful team in the history of the tournament, just one behind Brazil’s record of five titles. However, there is a contribution from an Italian great that will be seen right at the beginning of matches throughout this tournament, and possibly after that as well in senior football. Regular football watchers would’ve noticed something different about the pre-match routine before the opening game of the tournament between Mexico and South Africa, and later between South Korea and Czechia. When the time came for the national anthems to be played, the full …

Israeli competitor Noam Bettan came second after a contest in Vienna clouded by protests and a boycott over the country’s participation. Dara beat 24 other competitors during Saturday’s grand final of the sequin-drenched pop music competition. The song’s infectious beats and tightly choreographed dance routine proved a hit with both national juries in participating countries and viewers around the world, whose votes together decide the winner. “This is unbelievable,” Dara said at a post-show news conference early Sunday. “I don’t even know what’s going on.”She thanked “everyone who felt the bangaranga and felt connected to the force.” The 27-year-old performer is an established name in her homeland, but had not been among the favorites to win. Still, “Bangaranga” is the sort of pop banger that Eurovision does so well, with its irresistible exhortation: “Surrender to the blinding lights. No one’s gonna sleep tonight. Welcome to the riot.” …

Vande Mataram cannot be treated on par with national anthem: Owaisi

Published by Parlour News

AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday objected to the Union Cabinet’s decision to grant ‘Vande Mataram‘ the same statutory protection as the national anthem ‘Jana Gana Mana‘, saying the song cannot be treated on par with the anthem, as it is an ode to a goddess. The nation does not run in the name of a god or goddess and it does not belong to one god or goddess, he said. (PTI/File Photo) The nation does not run in the name of a god or goddess and it does not belong to one god or goddess, he said. In a post on X, he said, “Jana Gana Mana celebrates India and its people, not a particular religion. Religion ≠ nation. The man who wrote Vande Mataram was sympathetic to the British Raj and despised Muslims. Netaji Bose, Gandhi, Nehru, and Tagore all rejected it.” Referring to the Constitution of India, he said the Preamble begins with “We, the People” – not “Bharat Maa”. It promises “liberty of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship”. The very …
