The Indian Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter Hrishikesh Koloth was killed in a rare bear attack early this month in Canada. Hrishikesh was working at a remote uranium exploration site in northern Saskatchewan on May 8 when the incident took place. The 27-year-old from Kerala had relocated to Canada three years ago to live with his older brother, Arjun, in Penticton, British Columbia.

Following the attack, a civilian worker on the site shot and killed the bear. Koloth was also a passionate boxer and had been actively training for over a decade with dreams of making it to the UFC.

He wanted to fight in the UFC,” Arjun was quoted as saying by CBC. UraniumX Discovery Corp CEO Esen Boldkhuu said in a statement, “We …

In West Bengal, where rajpather rajneeti (street politics) marked by rallies and violent agitations, or desolate roads during general strikes (bandhs), steered the course of post-Independence governance – from the Congress to the Left Front in 1977 and then from the Communists to the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in 2011 – Mamata Banerjee stood out as a street fighter who led her folk from the front to defeat adversaries.
