Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday (August 15, 2026) urged all parties to support the implementation of women’s reservation in Parliament and State assemblies without making it a political fight, and called upon the youth to assume leadership roles across society and the economy towards the dream of making India developed by 2047. In his 13th consecutive Independence Day address to the nation, the Prime Minister also hailed the elimination of Maoism from the country but cautioned against lowering the guard, saying “armed Naxals may have gone, but dimagi [ideological] Naxals are lurking around”. In his 75-minute speech on the country’s 80th Independence Day, Mr. Modi listed seven streams (saptadharas) — manufacturing, power, agriculture and food processing, technology and innovation, gatishakti, defence power, green economy and blue economy, and soft power — to drive India forward and take the nation to greater heights.

In a proactive step to keep Indian badminton ahead of the curve, the Badminton Association of India (BAI) will implement the new Badminton World Federation (BWF) 3×15 scoring system across the domestic circuit from July 2026, starting with the Yonex-Sunrise All India Senior Ranking Badminton Tournament, scheduled to be held at the Regional Sports Centre, Ernakulam, from July 7 to 14, 2026. The move is aimed at ensuring Indian shuttlers transition seamlessly into the new format, adapt early to its tactical and physical demands, and sustain the success and competitive edge that have defined India’s rise as a badminton powerhouse globally. Under the revised format, matches will continue to be played as best-of-three games under rally-point scoring, but each game will now be played to 15 points instead of 21. A two-point lead remains mandatory from 14-all, with games capped at 21 points, where the next point becomes decisive at 20-all. The shorter format is expected to increase intensity, accelerate momentum shifts and place greater emphasis on tactical precision and quick decision-making. The change will …

Amit Shah, in response to Akhilesh Yadav, says the process of Census has begun. “The government has already taken the decision to conduct the caste census. The Census 2027 is being done with caste in account.” “If SP has its way, they might even give caste to houses. I want to assure the House that the Census is going to happen with the caste census as well,” he says, taking a jibe at the opposition party. Based on religion, reservation of any kind for Muslims is unconstitutional, Mr. Shah says. To this, Mr. Yadav asks whether Muslim population does not come under the 50% bracket. “Let SP give all its tickets to Muslim women, we don’t oppose it,” Mr. Shah retorts. Speaker Om Birla stops the exchange, asking them not to “debate” in this manner. Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.
