Kerala Assembly Elections 2026: IUML bets on youth, ushers in generational shift

Published by Parlour News

The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) leadership led by State president Syed Sadikali Shihab Thangal has sought to quell internal criticism by ushering in a generational shift through its candidate list for the April 9 Assembly election. The announcement of candidates on Tuesday (March 17, 2026) surprised many, particularly critics within the party, as it reflected a conscious move to infuse young blood into its legislative ranks. For months, younger members had been quietly demanding greater representation, and the list of the 25 candidates appears to address those concerns. Breaking from expectations of retaining most of its 15 sitting MLAs, whose average age is above 63, the party introduced 11 new faces, including six young leaders, two women and one non-Muslim candidate. The move was widely welcomed by party workers, especially the youth. Notable picks Among the notable picks are Fathima Tahilia for Perambra, T.P. Ashraf Ali for Kondotty, P.K. Firoz for Koduvally, V.K. Faisal Babu for Kozhikode South and P.K. Navas for Tanur. All of them represent the party’s younger leadership. “We have considered …

Long-form storytelling has, over the years, become a terrain that Sudip Sharma now inhabits with authority. Nearly a decade ago, he began by conceiving, writing, and eventually creating the first season of Paatal Lok, which erupted into public consciousness when it arrived in the uncertainty of the pandemic. He followed it with Kohrra for Netflix, a work as intimate as it was restrained, rooted in personal memory and emotional weather. Then, as if to deepen the imprint, came the second season of Paatal Lok last year, met with immense love. And now, with Kohrra 2, a work many are calling his finest yet, he seems to have reached an even sharper creative clarity. What remains remarkable is not simply his ability to craft such emotionally sensitive stories with consistent success, but the way he continues to unearth something vital, something urgent, within the well-worn corridors of the police procedural.  ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW VIDEO The fatigue is real, for him as much as for the audience. And yet, he disarms it. He finds, within its familiar …

On her podcast, actor and host Pooja Bedi recently shared that she and daughter Alaya F are at “loggerheads with each other” when it comes to sunscreen use. “My daughter and I are constantly at loggerheads with each other about sunscreen. I don’t use sunscreen. She does. And she insists that I slap it on daily, which I don’t,” she told her guest Barbara O’Neill. Taking a cue from her candid confession, let’s understand sunscreen use. Dr Shweta Nakhawa, a consultant dermatologist at KIMS Hospitals, Thane, said sunscreen is no longer viewed as just a simple skincare step. With more information available online, people are asking questions about what they put on their skin each day. Since the skin is the body‘s largest organ, concerns about chemical absorption, long-term use, and overall effects are natural. “Different opinions across generations often come from exposure to varying health messages, one focused on avoiding the sun and the other on natural living and vitamin D,” said Dr Nakhawa. Does sunscreen block vitamin D? One of the main points …

The recent local body elections in Kerala saw the Opposition Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) putting up a strong show, dealing a blow to the ruling CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) ahead of the state Assembly polls slated for April 2026. In an interview with The Indian Express, Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Kerala Assembly, V D Satheesan, 61, speaks about a range of issues, including the UDF’s local body poll victory, his party’s prospects in the Assembly elections, and the BJP factor. Excerpts: Do you see the local body poll results as a bellwether for the Assembly elections? Though the voting pattern in the Assembly elections is different from that seen in local body polls, these results are definitely an indicator. If the outcome of the district panchayats (which have larger wards and see political voting) are considered, we won seven of the 14 as against the three we won last time (in 2020). Our numbers in district panchayats are higher than the CPI(M). But the LDF also retained …

Like at the start of MS Dhoni era, it’s Shubman Gill Vs In-betweeners … Generational leap loading? | Cricket News

Be it sports, boardroom wars or royal successions; luck and fate are the two co-conspirators that decide most leadership battles. Successions aren’t straightforward. Picking a captain isn’t just about presenting the crown to the team’s senior most, or the top performer. At times, it’s a punt, a calculated risk or a compromise call dictated by circumstances. The winner is usually the one who is in the right place at the right time. Shubman Gill is what the media loves calling the ‘front-runner’ – the cautious term to say they aren’t sure. But this isn’t a one-horse race. In case Shubman makes it, Indian cricket’s latest churn brings to mind another similar period of change. Back in 2009, MS Dhoni had got preferred over a quartet of seniors to be India’s captain in whites. Those who had missed out were a reputed pacer, a frontline batsman with leadership experience, an authoritative spinner and a world-class left-arm all-rounder. Zaheer Khan, Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh and Yuvraj Singh had legitimate claims but they lost the captaincy race to …
