After 32 years, Satara to host Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan
The last time the Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan was held in Satara, the Babri Masjid had just been demolished, and the country was in turmoil. There was also a movement to rename Marathwada University as Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar University. This was the 66th edition of the Sammelan, and the eminent playwright Vidyadhar Gokhale was the chairman. 'It is customary for the president of a Sammelan to reflect on pressing concerns of the country in their speeches, and these were the two major issues,' says Prof Milind Joshi, president of the Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Mahamandal. The Mahamandal has announced that the forthcoming 99th edition of the Sammelan will be held in Satara. This unanimous decision was made during a meeting of the All-India Marathi Sahitya Mahamandal in Pune. 'The meeting was attended by Vice President Guruyya Swami, Executive Officer Sunitaraje Pawar, Treasurer Vinod Kulkarni, and representatives from all associated, affiliated, and constituent institutions,' said Prof Joshi. The Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan is an annual conference by and for Marathi literary figures. The first edition was held in 1878, when Mahadev Govind Ranade—a social reformer, writer, and judge—was the chairman. Since then, the event has been one of the most important platforms for discussions and debates in the Marathi language. The 98th Sammelan was held in February this year in Delhi and was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Shahupuri branch of the Maharashtra Sahitya Parishad and the Mavala Foundation will be responsible for the event. They had been trying to host the event for 12 years. Satara has hosted the Sammelan twice before: in 1905, with the venerable Raghunath Karandikar at the helm, and in 1962, when N V Gadgil was the head. That was the 44th edition of the meet. 'Our Shahupuri branch has played an active role in gaining classical language status for Marathi,' said Prof Joshi. Others who wished to host the event included Sadanand Sahitya Mandal (Audumbar), the Maharashtra Sahitya Parishad Ichalkaranji Branch, and the Dakshin Maharashtra Sahitya Sabha (Kolhapur). Satara was selected after the committee in charge of selection visited all applicant organisations. The Sammelan will return to its 1993 venue, Chhatrapati Shahu Stadium, which can host 25,000 people across 14 acres. Among the architectural highlights of the address will be the main pavilion, two other pavilions, space for a major book exhibition, and sites for poetry and ghazal renditions. Food will also be available at the venue. 'The venue is within walking distance from the Satara bus stand and centrally located, ensuring easy access for local and visiting literary enthusiasts. Behind the stadium lies an 8-acre police parade ground, which will be used for parking,' said Prof Joshi. Dipanita Nath is interested in the climate crisis and sustainability. She has written extensively on social trends, heritage, theatre and startups. She has worked with major news organizations such as Hindustan Times, The Times of India and Mint. ... Read More

Maharashtra train mishap: Will raise issue in Committee on Railways meet, seek audit, says Kolhe
'As a member of the Committee on Railways, I will raise the issue of today's accident as well as disproportionate local services compared to the number of daily commuters in the upcoming meeting and seek an audit. The recommendations of the meetings are submitted to the railway ministry and it has to take it seriously. I will try to discuss it with the the Railway minister as well,' he told a Marathi news channel. His statement comes against the backdrop of the deaths of four passengers in a train mishap at Mumbra railway station in Thane district this morning. Mumbai, Jun 9 (PTI) NCP (SP) Lok Sabha MP Amol Kolhe on Monday said he would raise the issue of Mumbai suburban train accidents at the upcoming meeting of the Committee on Railways, of which he is a member. The MP from Shirur in Pune, speaking about the high rate of passenger fatalities on Central Railway, said it seems that passenger safety is not a priority, which is very unfortunate. 'A comprehensive passenger mobility plan is under discussion, yet many commuters feel compelled to travel under unsafe conditions due to a lack of adequate train services. I will ensure this issue is brought to the forefront during our committee meeting,' Kolhe said. Kolhe said the incident this morning must be thoroughly probed, adding that if on an average 7-11 passengers are involved in mishaps daily, then the entire service must be audited. 'This is utterly unacceptable. The system is failing and requires immediate attention,' he said. PTI ND BNM This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

If It Happened There: Donald Trump sends central troops to quell protests in opposition-ruled California
Protesters confront police on the 101 Freeway near the Metropolitan Detention Center of downtown Los Angeles, Sunday, June 8, 2025, following last night's immigration raid protest. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong) Note: The following piece is inspired by Joshua Keating's If It Happened There which uses tropes and tones normally used by American media to describe events in other countries. The facts presented deal with as much exactitude and accuracy as an American media outlets' reporting about a foreign country. Los Angeles, Mexican for the city of angels, is home to Hollywood – America's answer to Bollywood – and a city where starstruck aspirants come with the dream of being immortalised on the silver screen. Yet, the city, which falls under America-administered California, an opposition state which overwhelmingly voted for Mr Donald Trump 's rival from the Democratic Party, Ms Kamala Harris, soon came to resemble a warzone. Mr Trump – known for strongman-like tendencies like Mr Putin and Mr Jinping – sent in over 2,000 National Guard troops, dressed like Stormtroopers, to quell a popular uprising sparked by workplace raids on labourers who Mr Trump's officials claim are 'illegals' working in America without papers. It was, as one expert put it, a prime example of authoritarian overreach that has become a feature of American autocracy since Mr Trump's white nationalist Republican Party came to power in the last election. The flashpoint began in LA's Fashion District, where federal immigration agents—known locally as ICE—raided a garment factory, with similar operations in numerous surrounding areas. The raid at a Home Depot – a retail franchise with numerous outlets across the country – saw violent clashes between protesters, including unionists and local residents. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Among the arrested was Mr David Huerta, a unionist, who eyewitnesses say was zip-tied and dragged away near the Metropolitan Detention Centre – which has overnight come to resemble a heavily guarded fortress. The situation grew increasingly volatile, coming to resemble a modern-day version of A Song of Ice and Fire – a popular series of books – which inspired the incest-drama Game of Thrones. Driverless Waymo cars – a company owned by Google, often accused of monopolising the internet to further America's imperial power – were set ablaze in a powerful demonstration of the working-class revolution against Silicon Valley's technocratic regime. While California's duly elected leaders – progressive Democrat Governor Mr Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Ms Karen Bass – objected, 2,000 National Guard troops hit hotspots near downtown Los Angeles. Local protest organisers – many embedded with immigrant rights groups – were illegally dragged away. Teenagers and older women with placards were violently attacked as federal officials justified the harsh measures, claiming they were 'suspected participants.' A Distraction? Some commentators even wondered if Mr Trump's heavy-handed action might be a ruse to distract from his recent feud with Mr Elon Musk, a technocrat and the world's richest man who funded Mr Trump's return to the White House with both his personal wealth and by buying the social media platform named X – formerly known as Twitter – to help spread canards that could return Mr Trump to the White House. Mr Trump, also a former avid user of Twitter who was banned from the platform earlier and opened his own rival Truth Social, had a spat with Mr Musk over a finance bill that the American President likes to call the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' and which Mr Musk called fiscal suicide. The fallout included a physical altercation with Mr Trump's tariff honcho, Mr Scott Bessent, whose attempt at a parliamentary rebuttal ostensibly left Mr Musk with a black eye. Mr Musk – known for using powerful drugs like ketamine – retaliated by calling Mr Trump some unprintable names and even claiming that the American President's name was present in the Epstein Files. The Epstein Files, incidentally, refer to a litany of famous celebrities – from both sides of the political aisle, including Republicans and Democrats – who visited Mr Epstein's island where they allegedly participated in peccadilloes involving underage individuals without their consent. Protesters take cover behind chairs near the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles, Sunday, June 8, 2025, following last night's immigration raid protest. (AP Photo/Eric Thayer) Mr Musk – who until recently ran a government department that looked at cutting fiscal waste – is the first member of Mr Trump's new team to have a public falling out. Unlike the last administration, where many members including the then Vice President Mr Mike Pence stood up to Mr Trump, the new cabinet is full of individuals whose first claim to fame is complete fealty to Mr Trump. This includes Ms Kristi Noem, the head of Homeland Security, Ms Linda McMahon, the Secretary of Education, former Fox News host Mr Pete Hegseth who is now the Secretary of Defence, and the current Vice President, Mr JD Vance, who once called Mr Trump 'cultural heroin' and compared him to Adolf Hitler. In his second term, Mr Trump has eschewed any pretence of adhering to the US Constitution, whether its quelling dissent in institutes of higher education, illegally deporting American citizens, or accepting expensive gifts from foreign nations. Mr Trump's actions might not just affect residents of America-administered California or even just Americans, given the country's overstated power over the rest of the world. The new regime under Mr Trump has taken sweeping decisions to target its own population, deport legal citizens, silence dissent, and punish anyone perceived to be disloyal, while the courts – once heralded as the guardians of the Constitution – mutely watch on. Questions must be raised as to whether a country like the United States of America is a fit choice for global events, like the next football World Cup – set to be held in 2026 – when it can't even adhere to the basic norms that citizens of democracies take for granted.
