Grammys include Asian pop and Latin pop: How new categories signal a shift in music recognition | Music News

4 min readJun 17, 2026 07:41 PM IST When South Korean superstar boy band BTS was nominated at the Grammys in 2021 for their song, ‘Dynamite’, the seven-member group became the first Korean pop act to ever receive a Grammy nomination. Earlier this year, at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards and five years later, New-Zealand-based South Korean singer Rosé became the first K-pop artist nominated for Record of the Year, while ‘Golden’, a K-pop tune from Pop Demon Hunters took home a Grammy for the first time. While the 2021 breakthrough was treated as a watershed moment, many industry observers and musicians since then have called attention to the fact that some of the most significant and globally successful music markets largely remained outside the gambit of the Grammys – considered the most monumental music awards in the world.

Thousands of Anganwadi workers, ASHA workers and National Health Mission (NHM) employees from across Maharashtra converged at Azad Maidan on Monday to launch a three-day protest, demanding regularisation of services, higher wages and immediate payment of pending salaries. Organised by the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), the agitation has drawn around 8,000 workers associated with government welfare schemes, including the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), NHM and PM Poshan programme. The protesters alleged that despite running key health, nutrition and education programmes, they continue to be treated as temporary workers and denied employee benefits. “We are demanding recognition as government employees, social security benefits and timely payment of salaries. Many NHM contractual employees and ASHA workers have not been paid for six months,” said Shubha Shamim, state vice-president of CITU and president of the Anganwadi Employees’ Union.

Why Madhavan and family moved to Dubai “It was an essential decision taken at the right moment. Vedaant was going through his growth spurt as a teenager, and not having a pool to swim would have meant the end of his international swimming career,” he shared during a 2025 interview with The Hindu. Recalling that all the pools in Mumbai and across the country were closed at that time in response to Covid-19, Madhavan noted that he and Sarita were “hassled,” since governments in other …

FIVB revokes recognition of VFI interim body amid Indian volleyball crisis

Published by Webster

The Federation Internationale de Volleyball has revoked the provisional recognition granted to the Volleyball Federation of India (VFI) interim body, effectively stripping it of its authority with immediate effect. The letter dated 20th April, accessed by The Bridge, confirms that the FIVB has transferred administrative control to its appointed Steering Committee, marking a decisive intervention in the functioning of the sport in the country. The decision comes just a month after the interim body was granted conditional recognition for eight months. That recognition, however, was tied to strict compliance with governance reforms, cooperation with the FIVB and the Steering Committee, and adherence to transparent selection and operational processes. According to the FIVB, those conditions were not met. In fact, the global body has stated that the interim leadership “clearly chose not to accept these conditions,” leading to the withdrawal of recognition. The consequences are immediate. The interim body has been asked to cease any representation of Indian volleyball at the international level, while the FIVB Board of Administration has handed temporary control of operations to …
