AIFF urges Tata to reconsider Jamshedpur FC’s ISL exit

AIFF urges Tata to reconsider Jamshedpur FC’s ISL exit

All India Football Federation (AIFF) President Kalyan Chaubey has urged the Tata group to reconsider its “shocking” decision of withdrawing Jamshedpur FC from the embattled Indian Super League (ISL). The Tata group has made it clear that JFC’s exit from the ISL was a long-planned strategic decision to ensure that the company returns to its core ideal of grassroots football development. Tata Steel vice President (Corporate Services) D B Sundara Ramam has also insisted that the move has “nothing to do” with the uncertainty surrounding the ISL’s commercial future and would not be reconsidered. However, Chaubey said the AIFF would still hope for a rethink by the legacy corporate house. “AIFF would be happy if Tata remains in football, especially in senior top tier football. If an AIFF request or application can change their mind…the AIFF would like to appeal that for the interest of the players and football, Tata should remain in the senior football league,” Chaubey told PTI in an interview. “The AIFF welcomes any suggestion (from them) and is ready to incorporate …

BTS exit from Grammys not a surprise says Salim Merchant

BTS exit from Grammys not a surprise says Salim Merchant

The Recording Academy, which hosts the Grammys, recently announced the Best Asian Pop Music Performance category. This has raised multiple discussions, with popular K-pop band BTS officially stating that they will not be submitting their entry for the Grammys 2027 due to the introduction of such a category. However, acclaimed Indian music composer Salim Merchant states that “The Academy has a standard policy of giving preference to their artists; that is how the Academy operates, and it is their prerogative. I am not surprised at all [to learn] about BTS.” Merchant goes on to specify, “When AR Rahman got his Grammy for Slumdog Millionaire (2008), there was a very strong representation of his management in the United States of America (USA).” Salim Merchant (Photo: Instagram) Merchant emphasises that the Recording Academy is for the USA. “All the proceeds that the Grammy receives go to charity for the recording artists in America. So, as a non-American, there are very less chances that your entry will come in the main category,” he quips. The 52-year-old points out …

After Dharmendra Pradhan exit, why Punjab minister faces Opposition storm as Sisodia challenge backfires | Political Pulse News

While visiting Delhi’s Jantar Mantar to support the protest of students and youths demanding Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation on July 20, Punjab education minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Harjot Singh Bains would not have anticipated that he will soon face a similar demand in his state slated for the Assembly polls in February 2027. While Pradhan was forced to resign five days later, the Opposition parties in Punjab have now intensified their campaign against Bains, which seemed to have been fuelled by remarks made by senior AAP leader and former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia. During his visit to Jantar Mantar on July 19 to back the protesters’ call for Pradhan’s sacking over the NEET paper leak, Sisodia, in an interview with a web channel, said: “If any such paper leak happens in Punjab, then I, (Arvind) Kejriwal and (CM Bhagwant) Mann sahab together will immediately sack Punjab’s education minister… Not a single paper has leaked in Punjab in the past four years.” Seizing on Sisodia’s statement, the Opposition parties …

While the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) announced the withdrawal of the protest after the resignation of Pradhan and the Centre, in principle, agreed to fulfil the demands, the strength of the crowd at the Bengaluru protest on Sunday remained the same as in the preceding days. The student organisations in Bengaluru said they would continue with the protests, especially on weekends, demanding broader education reforms. Eminent historian Ramachandra Guha, who was also part of the protest, said the enthusiasm of the crowd “made my spine straighter”. Guha drew parallels with …

Newly appointed Union Education Minister Pralhad Joshi has taken charge, officials said on Sunday. Joshi was appointed education minister after Dharmendra Pradhan resigned from the post on Saturday.
