Pune's Sardar Dastur Hoshang Boys' High School pedals for greener tomorrow on Independence Day

The students rode through the heart of the city, turning heads and sparking discussions about environmental conservation, fitness, and civic responsibility.
The participants embodied the event's powerful message: in today's India, true freedom is a pollution-free, green nation and a healthy, fit generation.
The atmosphere was filled with enthusiasm as cheers rang out, flags waved high, and the wheels kept spinning in tribute to the heroes who secured our freedom.
Team Sunrisers, a cycling group based out of Pune, ensured flawless coordination, safety, and smooth flow throughout the event.
At the close of the ride, Dr Karekar emphasised the importance of a healthy mind that resides in a healthy body.
Principal Sahay encouraged the students to appreciate the roles of India's nationalist leaders in the freedom that is enjoyed by current generations.

ISL clubs warn AIFF of possibility of their shutting down entirely if current impasse not resolved
Eleven Indian Super League ( ISL ) clubs have warned the All India Football Federation (AIFF) that they "face the real possibility of shutting down entirely" if the ongoing impasse regarding the future of the top-tier domestic competition is not resolved soon. Independence Day 2025 Modi signals new push for tech independence with local chips Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gave India its own currency In a letter written to AIFF President Kalyan Chaubey, the clubs said that the crisis arising out of the non-renewal of the Master Rights Agreement (MRA) between the national federation and the ISL organisers FSDL has "paralysed professional football in India". "Over past 11 years, through sustained investment and coordinated effort, clubs have built youth development systems, training infrastructure, community outreach programmes, and professional teams that have elevated India's footballing credibility both domestically and internationally," the clubs wrote in the letter sent on Friday. "This progress is now in imminent danger of collapse. The current standstill has created immediate and severe consequences. With operations suspended and no certainty on league continuity, several clubs face the real possibility of shutting down entirely." The crisis surfaced after Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL), the ISL organisers as well as AIFF's commercial partner, put the 2025-26 season "on hold" on July 11 due to uncertainty over the renewal of the MRA, prompting at least three clubs to either pause first-team operations or suspend player and staff salaries. Live Events "The 2025-26 ISL season is at risk of not taking place at all. This is not merely an administrative deadlock -- it is an existential crisis for Indian football. We write to you in the gravest of circumstances," the clubs wrote. "The trust painstakingly built with fans, sponsors, investors, international footballing bodies over the past decade will be irreparably damaged if the league remains in limbo." The letter was signed by Bengaluru FC, Hyderabad FC, Odisha FC, Chennaiyin FC, Jamshedpur FC, FC Goa, Kerala Blasters FC, Punjab FC, NorthEast United FC, Mumbai City FC and Mohammedan Sporting. Kolkata heavyweights Mohun Bagan Super Giant and East Bengal did not the sign the letter. Detailing the risk of club closures and livelihood loss, the letter said, "More than 2000 direct livelihoods -- players, coaches, medical staff, analysts, kit managers, groundsmen, administrative staff -- hang in the balance, alongside countless indirect livelihoods dependent on the league. "Clubs face a season where revenue from tickets, merchandise and other avenues will be reduced to zero. Potential sponsors have already started backing out, looking at the scenario that the ISL is in. "This is a huge financial blow that clubs will not recover from this year and it will affect payout of salaries to players and staff in the immediate future, besides making several stakeholders contemplate a complete and permanent shut-down of their respective clubs." The clubs said the impasse will also impact India's readiness for international matches, saying "without a functioning league, our national team will be severely disadvantaged in upcoming AFC and FIFA tournaments". They also said that without the ISL, they will not be able to play a minimum number of competitive matches for participation in continental competitions, thereby risking suspension of Indian clubs from AFC tournaments. "The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) mandates a minimum number of competitive matches for participation in continental competitions. Without ISL, this requirement cannot be met, putting India at risk of suspension from all AFC and FIFA tournaments," the clubs said. "FIFPRO, the global players' union, has already apprised FIFA of the situation, increasing the likelihood of external scrutiny and possible sanctions." On Thursday, the AIFF had agreed to mention the raging issue concerning the ISL before the Supreme Court on Monday. The apex court has reserved its judgement in the case relating to the draft constitution of the AIFF. The decision to apprise the SC of the crisis situation was taken after a meeting of the legal representatives of the clubs and the AIFF. In fact, a reliable source said that the AIFF is willing to file a written application if the Supreme Court asks for one. "We fully appreciate that related matters are before the Hon'ble Supreme Court. However, from the record of recent hearings, it appears that the immediacy and scale of the crisis have not been clearly conveyed to the Hon'ble Court," the clubs said. "The human cost, the threat of clubs folding, the risk of losing our place in AFC/FIFA competitions, and the reputational harm to India's footballing image demand urgent action on our part. "We therefore respectfully request the AIFF, as the regulator of Indian football, to urgently mention this matter before the Hon'ble Supreme Court on Monday, 18 August 2025, and to append this letter to present the unified concerns of all ISL clubs before the Hon'ble Court." The clubs said they are ready to support the AIFF in the case through their counsels though they are not parties to the proceedings before the SC. "Immediate collective action is the only way to preserve Indian football's future, safeguard livelihoods, and protect the country's standing in the global football community. We remain committed to working alongside the AIFF to achieve a resolution."

Glenn Maxwell leads Australia to T20 series win over South Africa
Glenn Maxwell took a brilliant catch before smashing a half-century under pressure to help Australia overcome a dogged South Africa by two wickets and seal the three-match Twenty20 series in Cairns on Saturday. Independence Day 2025 Modi signals new push for tech independence with local chips Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gave India its own currency In response to South Africa's 172-7, Australia were in trouble at 122-6 in the 14th over before Maxwell stepped up with an unbeaten 62 off 36 balls. There was a late twist when South Africa quick Corbin Bosch dismissed Ben Dwarshuis and Nathan Ellis with consecutive deliveries. But Maxwell crunched a boundary on the penultimate ball of the match before celebrating with gusto. Hot favourites Australia won the first match but were stunned by a 52-run defeat in game two before moving to Cairns in northern Queensland, which hosted its first T20 international. Live Events "It was a little nerve-racking," Maxwell said. "I tried to stay on strike as much as I could and cash in on anything loose." Australia captain Mitchell Marsh elected to field in helpful conditions for seam bowlers, a contrast to the batting-friendly surfaces used in the opening two games in Darwin. Veteran quick Josh Hazlewood rebounded from an errant performance in game two by dismissing captain Aiden Markram for one in the first over. Lhuan-dre Pretorius hit a quick-fire 24 before falling to Ellis, bringing to the crease Dewald Brevis who smashed a South African T20 record of 125 not out in game two. He crunched his sixth delivery onto the roof before a diving Maxwell dropped a tough one-handed chance at long-on. Brevis motored to his half-century off 22 balls. Maxwell, a brilliant fielder, redeemed himself in the 12th over with a superb diving catch in the outfield to halt Brevis' charge on 53. South Africa's innings ran out of steam and their total appeared well short when Marsh dominated a 66-run opening partnership with Travis Head. But South Africa hit back with the quick wickets of Head (19) and Josh Inglis for a first ball duck. Marsh made 54 before holing out to 19-year-old quick Kwena Maphaka, who later in the 11th over dismissed Cameron Green (nine). Australia's collapse of 6-56 was complete when in-form Tim David (17) and Aaron Hardie (one) were dismissed before Maxwell took over. The Australian players wore black armbands in honour of former captain and coach Bob Simpson, who died at the age of 89. The three-match One-Day International series between the teams starts in Cairns on Tuesday.

Chhetri's omission: A question of answers
Kolkata: At 10.44pm on Independence Day it became clear that Sunil Chhetri will not figure in Khalid Jamil's plans for the CAFA Nations Cup, the new India head coach's first assignment beginning later this month. File picture of India football team skipper Sunil Chhetri greets his fans after the FIFA World Cup 2026 Asia qualifier against Kuwait at Kolkata's Salt Lake Stadium on June 6, 2024. (AFP FILE) The media release from the All India Football Federation (AIFF) listing the 22 who had joined the preparatory camp in Bengaluru was posted in the journalists' WhatsApp group late on Friday. It had to be read with an earlier social media post from AIFF that named the 13 who were yet to report to understand that Jamil is looking beyond the talisman who turned 41 on August 3. In the absence of any kind of announcement regarding Chhetri's unavailability, it will have to be assumed that the India captain has been dropped. Which would be a rare thing in the 20-year international career of a player who has the most international goals (95) after Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi among active players. Bengaluru FC, where Chhetri's contract has a year to run, have not started training and suspended salaries of the first team and staff in the absence of clarity on the 2025-26 season. Yet, Jamil has included six players from the club. On Friday, they and Jamil had their first training session. On the same day, after a back injury while on holiday, Chhetri trained on his own. Manolo Marquez had persuaded Chhetri to come out of international retirement. It was announced with some razzmatazz on social media on March 6, but Chhetri could not reproduce his Indian Super League form of 14 goals and two assists – his best returns in seven seasons. In four matches for India, he has one goal and no assist. 'It was risky, yes,' Marquez told HT last month after leaving his post as India head coach. 'But we had problems finding goals and he was scoring in ISL…Now, everyone can say that it was a mistake and I need to accept that. But I think that was not a mistake. He is a top professional and I was very satisfied to be able to count on him.' There could be a number of reasons for Chhetri's contrasting form for club and country: the quality of players at Bengaluru FC, the difference in the level of opponents in ISL and international football are but two. But if last season is the benchmark, Chhetri is fit and retains game smarts necessary for international football. But just as it is Chhetri's decision to be available, it is Jamil's to look ahead. He has a two-year contract with the option for a third. Chhetri is unlikely to continue in club football beyond 2025-26 so Jamil seeking forwards who will play beyond that is a fair call. But in the absence of an official statement, all of this is speculation. Could AIFF have got Jamil to explain his selections and omissions in the media release? Should AIFF change its ways and get head coaches to do that always? Could Jamil and Chhetri have got on the phone with the coach telling the player why he was being left out? Could that have been mentioned in the media release? The answer to all of the above is: yes. After a rousing send-off in June 2024, Chhetri would have needed some persuasion, possibly ignored advice from his family, to pull on an India shirt again. He has chosen not to speak about it. What does Jamil's decision mean for his international future? If this is it, if the low of a defeat to Hong Kong is how it ends, does Chhetri, and the rest of India, not deserve to know that?
