Stray dog menace can be solved by curbing population: Bhagwat
Bhagwat, a veterinary science graduate, was commenting on the controversy over a Supreme Court order asking the Delhi-NCR authorities to permanently relocate strays from streets to dog shelters. 'The problem can be solved only by regulating the population of street dogs. But, it cannot be resolved by putting stray dogs in shelters,' he said, while addressing a religious congregation at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Cuttack.
Citing an instance, Bhagwat said that while milking a cow, Indians take some milk and leave the rest for the calf. 'This is the art of striking a balance between man and nature. The nature should be conserved by maintaining a balance between development and the environment,' he said. After the Cuttack meeting, Bhagwat left for Puri where he will meet Shankaracharya Nischalananda Saraswati and visit the Shree Jagannath temple.
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief, who arrived here on Wednesday evening, spent the night at the Utkal Bipanna Sahayata Samiti office in Mancheswar area in the city. Bhagwat is scheduled to leave Odisha on Friday.

In his speech, he also welcomed the initiative started by former chief justice Sanjiv Khanna where the Supreme Court collegium interacts with the candidates during the selection process. CJI Gavai said that after interacting with the candidates for "10 minutes, 15 minutes or half an hour", the SC collegium can find out as to how suitable they would be to contribute to society.

Scroll Adda: Why this Mughal historian fears coming to India
Play While completing her PhD in 2012 in New York, Audrey Truschke did not imagine that her work would one day rile up a section of Indians so much that she would feel physically unsafe. So much so that Truschke tells Shoaib Daniyal in this episode of Scroll Adda that she fears coming to India. Truschke's work on medieval Indian history has severely angered India's ruling Hindutva ideologues. She has written on the significant role Sanskrit played in Indo-Muslim culture, a 5,000-year history of the subcontinent and her most attacked book, a slim biography of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb that showed that his demonisation is a much later phenomenon and during his own time, he was looked at with reverence by both his Hindu and Muslim subjects, as any Mughal emperor would be. Truschke is not shy when it comes to her politics. She compares Hindutva to fascism and her CV has "Hindu nationalist attacks" in the honours section. She sees no contradiction when it comes to being a historian and in fact says that having a moral compass is necessary to study the humanities.

Best chapters of India-Israel partnership still lie ahead, says Netanyahu
Israeli President Isaac Herzog and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday extended warm wishes on India's Independence Day calling for strengthening the flourishing ties and emphasising that the best chapters on bilateral ties still lie ahead. Sending his heartfelt greetings to President Droupadi Murmu and all the people of India, Herzog took to X to say: Your friendship with Israel in these difficult days strengthens us deeply. May the bond between our nations continue to flourish and may we soon see the safe return of all our hostages. Congratulating India and dear friend Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Independence Day, Netanyahu said Israel and India are two proud democracies, bound by history, innovation, and friendship. Our nations have achieved much together and the best chapters of our partnership still lie ahead, Netanyahu wrote in a message on X. Amir Ohana, who in 2023 became the first Speaker of the Israeli Knesset (Parliament) to visit India, also took to X posting a message in Hindi congratulating his counterpart, Om Birla, and Indians on the occasion. Earlier on Friday, India's Ambassador to Israel, JP Singh, hoisted the tricolor to celebrate India's 79th Independence Day in the presence of about 350 people from the Indian community. In his address, Singh emphasised on efforts to deepen our strategic relationship as one team India. Israel is home to about 40,000 Indians. I can see the warmth Israelis have for Indians. In particular, they are very appreciative of our workforce and our caregivers, Singh pointed out, in an apparent reference to the massive Indian workforce employed by Israel to deal with an acute shortage of workers in various sectors. He also thanked the Indian Jewish community for being a powerful bridge between the two nations. People from the Indian community and Jews of Indian origin turned up from all over Israel to celebrate Independence Day. Several people turned up at the Cricket club in the southern city of Beersheba, braving a heat wave, to celebrate India's Independence Day. We have lived in Israel since our childhood but have not forgotten our Indian roots. We still hold the cultural values alive and never forget that it was the only country where Jews never faced anti-semitism. We are proud of our Indian origin, chairman of Beersheba Cricket Club Naor Gudker told PTI.
