Bloodiest Day Yet For Ukraine: Russia Claims Big Wins As Civilians Die In Chilling Strikes
'They Took Away My Son's...': Russian Woman Reveals Key Secrets, Her Kids' Father Tracked Down Russian national Nina Kutina, who was recently found living in a cave in Gokarna with her two young daughters, has revealed she gave birth to one of them in a cave in Goa. The father? An Israeli businessman, whom Indian immigration officials have now located. Nina, who says she's lived in forests across 20 countries, defended her lifestyle, insisting her daughters were healthy, happy, and not in danger. 'We were not dying,' she told ANI, pushing back against panic over her cave life. Nina's visa reportedly expired in 2017, though she disputes the timeline. She now faces possible deportation to Russia, along with her children, Preya and Ama. She also has another child living in Russia. Authorities are investigating her legal status, parentage, and conditions of living, but her story has already stirred global curiosity about love, wilderness, and survival in modern-day India.#russianwoman #ninakutina #russiancavewoman #cavefamily #gokarnacave #goababy #russianinindia #cavemom #viralnewsindia #foreignerinindia #naturebirth #wildlifelifestyle #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews 8.5K views | 7 hours ago

Renewed optimism in Canada-India economic ties, says business council leader
Canadian investors and businesses are looking at India with renewed optimism against the backdrop of attempts by both countries to recondition their bilateral ties, said Victor T. Thomas, president and CEO of the Canada-India Business Council. 'The new Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, has certainly signalled the opportunity to engage with India, including inviting Prime Minister [Narendra] Modi to the G-7 Summit. In many ways, this was a reset in Canada-India relations, as trade diversification has been a major focus in Canada in 2025.' This gesture was more than symbolic — it demonstrated a strategic recognition of India's growing global economic importance. PM Carney's tone and early actions have re-established some trust on the India file and reignited some bilateral momentum. The business community sees this as an opportunity to rebuild and grow the commercial relationship and hopefully finally sign an Early Progress Trade Agreement after our closest allies, like Australia, and most recently, the U.K., have paved the way,' Mr. Thomas said. Mr. Thomas said that the business community is encouraged by recent signals arising from the meeting of the Prime Ministers and the move to restore the respective High Commissioners in Ottawa and New Delhi. India and Canada withdrew their respective High Commissioners in 2024, following allegations that Indian agents had orchestrated the killing of a Khalistani separatist in Canada. 'The business community values stability and predictability and has continued to make deals and stay active despite recent diplomatic challenges. These are encouraging signals for long-term business planning and I'm cautiously optimistic that relations will continue to improve,' said Mr. Thomas. According to Mr. Thomas, India presents enormous potential for Canadian firms looking to diversify beyond the U.S. market. Canada and the U.S. are locked in a trade war. 'Canadian companies already active in India are seeing real success, on the investment side of things, particularly in infrastructure and real estate. This year, investments from Canada into India — both direct and indirect — hovers around CA $100 billion! There are still many untapped opportunities to explore and with complementary strengths in sectors like agri-food, energy, education, and resources, there's far more we can achieve together,' he said.
