Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday extended warm greetings to Bharatiya Janata Party’s workers on the occasion of the party`s Foundation Day, emphasising the long-standing commitment to public service and the principle of “India First.” The BJP was established in 1980 after a split from the Janata Party, rooted in its predecessor, the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, founded in 1951 by Shyama Prasad Mukherjee.

How Varun Chakravarthy is at forefront of India’s T20 evolution | Cricket News

“Sometimes when he talks, you will think he is stupid,” Varun Chakravarthy’s mentor AC Pratheepan tells The Indian Express. “Stupid because nobody will think like him. He is sequencing each and every ball. If you ask him, he can list out how he is going to deliver the 24 balls he has to bowl. Of course, it will change depending on who the batsman is, but he has it sequenced. He now very well understands which delivery to bowl when and more importantly what length,” Pratheepan adds. That in nutshell captures the evolution of Varun and the reason he has had a stellar 2024, and now is at the forefront of India taking its T20 game to an unchartered territory. Or in other words, India 2.0 isn’t possible without Varun 2.0. On January 1, while recalling what a splendid year 2024 had been for him, Varun had posted AR Rahman’s “Chinna Chinna Aasai” (Choti si aasha song) on his instagram and ended with these lines: “Nalla irupom!! Nalla irupom!! Ellarum nalla irupom!! (We will be …

Want to be in forefront, not on the border

On June 13, as Border (1997) completed 27 years of release, Sunny Deol announced its sequel, to be helmed by Anurag Singh. This came after weeks of rumours that suggested that Deol and Ayushmann Khurrana would lead Border 2. However, now, mid-day has learnt that following months-long talks with the makers, Khurrana has apparently decided to let go of the war drama. “Ayushmann was in talks to play a soldier in the sequel. While both Ayushmann and the makers were keen on collaborating, the actor felt unsure of his positioning in an ensemble led by Sunny, a towering star in his own right,” says a source.  JP Dutta, who helmed Border—starring Deol, Suniel Shetty, Akshaye Khanna and Jackie Shroff—will co-produce the sequel. It appears that director Singh is keen to make Border 2 just as star-studded. Recently, rumours were rife that the war drama would also star Punjabi actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh. The source adds, “Nothing is confirmed yet. But Diljit has been approached by the makers. It will be a treat to see Diljit and …

Satwiksairaj Rankireddy And Chirag Shetty At The Forefront As Indians Chase Glory At All England

Newly-crowned French Open champions Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty will be expected to continue their rich vein of form, while the seasoned P V Sindhu will hope to ace a trial by fire to end India’s 23-year-old title drought at the All England Championships starting on Tuesday. Prakash Padukone (1980) and Pullela Gopichand (2001) are the only ones from India to have claimed the title with Saina Nehwal (2015) and Lakshya Sen (2022) coming close when they finished runner-ups. The prestigious tournament holds an iconic status in India but over the years, its exclusivity has somewhat dwindled as it is now one of the four Super 1000 event on the international calendar. Satwik and Chirag have already won a Super 1000 title in Indonesia last year and given their stellar run this season, expectations would be high when the two towering shuttlers take the court this week, following their exploits at Paris on Sunday night. Satwik and Chirag, the Asian Games champions, have bossed their opponents this season, reaching three finals — Malaysia Super 1000, …
