When Kirti Sharma topped the trials for the Indian women’s recurve team for Asian Games with Ankita Bhakat and Kumkum Mohod, her father Vijay Kumar remembered the day in 2022 when he visited a commission agent and took a loan for Rs 60,000 to get her a new recurve bow. A small-time farmer with three acres in Jind district’s Ritoli village in Haryana, he convinced the agent that he would repay the money with future yield. All that mattered to him was her daughter’s joy. “Chhori aise sambal ke rakh rah thi jaise sona ho (She was taking care of it like it was gold),” he tells The Indian Express. Now he says he wants to see a gold medal around her neck in the Asian Games, and slips down the memory lane. A decade ago, Kirti had never heard of archery. She saw a bow for the first time when reputed coach Udham Singh visited the FS Convent school at nearby Pillukhera to spot talented archers and start an academy. Kirti would not go …

Anil Manohar Mohod makes cardboard boxes for sweet shops in Amravati. It is how the family gets by. Last Sunday, when his 17-year-old daughter Kumkum won the women’s team gold at the Archery World Cup Stage 2 in Shanghai — India’s first women’s team gold since 2021 — he picked up the phone and called Raghuvir Mithaiyan, one of his clients, to order sweet boxes. Not to deliver them. To receive them. “Sweet boxes banane se hi ghar charta hai aur Kumkum ki archery bhi (It is the sweet boxes that run our home, and so does Kumkum’s archery),” he told The Indian Express. “She was shooting in Shanghai with a second-hand bow, which she has been using for the last five years. And when she won the team gold, I called Raghuvir Mithaiyan sweets — for whom I once made boxes — to order sweets to celebrate. Kumkum’s passion has been archery and what more can we ask than to see her shining on the world stage.” The bow is five years old. It …

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Monday referred to the nuclear tests conducted in Pokhran on May 11, 1998, and said they reflected India’s firm resolve to advance its nuclear programme despite pressure from global powers. While addressing the gathering to commemorate the 75 years of the reconstruction of Somnath Temple in Gujarat, PM Modi said, “Today is important for another reason. On May 11, 1998, India conducted nuclear tests in Pokhran. Our scientists demonstrated India’s calibre and capabilities to the world. This created a global stir. All the world’s energies came forward to stop India and imposed several restrictions. There were attempts to block India economically,” he said. India conducted three nuclear bomb test explosions at the Indian Army’s Pokhran Test Range on May 11, 1998 and tested two more bombs two days later. These tests, codenamed Operation Shakti or strength, would display India’s capability to build fission and thermonuclear weapons with yields up to 200 kilotons, helping India enter the highly guarded club of countries with the capability to deploy nuclear weapons. “At a time, …

‘He made Suryakumar bow’: Sanju Samson is the main reason for India reaching T20 WC final, says former opener | Cricket News

3 min readUpdated: Mar 7, 2026 10:50 AM IST Former India opener Sadagoppan Ramesh hailed Sanju Samson’s knockouts exploits as the primary reason why the Men in Blue qualified for a second successive T20 World Cup final on Thursday. In a stunning redemption after starting the tournament on the bench due to poor form, Samson made amends as he powered India to a rampaging start in the semi-final against England at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Despite losing opening partner Abhishek Sharma early, Samson continued his onslaught and ripped apart the English bowling attack. Samson totalled 89 off only 42 balls, powering India to 253 for seven in 20 overs. That proved to be just above par on a batting beauty as England threatened Suryakumar Yadav & Co. with a strong response led by Jacob Bethell’s century before falling only seven runs short.
