India to ally with Russia, China to end America's economic 'hooliganism': Ramdev
After hoisting the national flag at the Patanjali University and Patanjali Yoga Bhavan here to mark the 79th Independence Day, Ramdev claimed a new alliance is being formed in the world between India, Russia and China, besides some other European and central Asian countries.
Stating that the new alliance will carry a very good message for the world, he said India has decided to "stand up and not bow down before America".
Attacking US President Donald Trump for his "Indian economy is dead" remark, Ramdev said it is not only alive, but also progressing rapidly.
"Three-hundred years ago, India's economy was worth 400-500 trillion dollars, which was first looted by the Mughals and then by the British. But India is still standing tall today," he claimed.
"We have to make India self-reliant and go for indigenous products," Ramdev said.
He also made the Patanjali workers and seers present on the occasion take a pledge to adopt indigenous products in the field of economics, education and medicine to achieve "ideological and intellectual freedom".
"India is engaged in creating a new world order to end the political and economic hooliganism of America. If a new alliance is formed between Russia, China, India, some countries from central Asia, some from Europe and Africa, we will show America and Trump their place. There will be no empire of Trump and America in the world," he said.
On Pakistan's nuclear threat, he ridiculed the neighbouring country and said even the few nuclear bombs it has are not its own but belong to another nation.
"Not only this, the country which has these nuclear bombs has hidden them to pressurise India. But India put an end to this threat by bringing Pakistan to its knees through Operation Sindoor," he said.
The general secretary of Patanjali Yogpeeth, Balkrishna, also spoke on the occasion and highlighted the work done by Patanjali in the field of ayurveda, yoga and education.

Gold price today: MCX gold rate trades flat below ₹1 lakh after Trump-Putin meet; silver price gains
Gold prices on Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) traded flat on Monday, tracking stable global billion prices, amid signs of easing geopolitical tensions and expectations of an end to the Russia-Ukraine war. MCX gold prices opened higher at ₹ 99,960 per 10 grams as against its previous close of ₹ 99,838 level. MCX silver prices opened 1,13,951 per kg as compared to its previous close of ₹ 1,13,943 level. At 9:15 AM, MCX gold price was trading flat at ₹ 99,834 per 10 grams, while MCX silver price was up 0.07% at ₹ 1,14,025 per kg. In the international market, gold prices rose after hitting a two-week low, supported by lower US Treasury yields. Spot gold price gained 0.3% to $3,345.64 per ounce, after hitting its lowest level since August 1. US gold futures for December delivery rose 0.3% to $3,391.80. Spot silver rose 0.3% to $38.08 per ounce. US President Donald Trump held a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on August 15, aimed at ending the war in Ukraine, decreasing the safe-haven appeal for the yellow metal. 'Gold prices stayed close to two-week lows, as prospects of easing geopolitical tensions dulled the metal's safe-haven appeal. Markets will be closely watching Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's upcoming remarks at the Jackson Hole Symposium, along with the minutes from the Fed's latest meeting, amid growing expectations for a September interest-rate cut,' said Jigar Trivedi, Senior Research Analyst at Reliance Securities. Investors now await Donald Trump's meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and European leaders later today to discuss a peace deal with Russia. Jigar Trivedi expects MCX gold rate for October futures to stay range bound in today's trading session. 'MCX gold may face resistance at ₹ 100,000 per 10 grams level, while support for the yellow metal is seen at ₹ 99,500 level,' Trivedi said.

Russia-US-Ukraine Peace Talks Live: Zelensky arrives in US for Talks with Donald Trump, desires to end the war...
New Delhi: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday arrived in Washington DC on Sunday (local time) to meet US President Donald Trump. According to the reports, Zelensky said that he desires to end the war with Russia 'quickly and reliably.' Taking to X he said, 'I have already arrived in Washington, tomorrow I am meeting with President Trump. Tomorrow we are also speaking with European leaders. I am grateful to @POTUS for the invitation. We all share a strong desire to end this war quickly and reliably. And peace must be lasting. Not like it was years ago, when Ukraine was forced to give up Crimea and part of our East—part of Donbas—and Putin simply used it as a springboard for a new attack. Or when Ukraine was given so called 'security guarantees' in 1994, but they didn't work. Of course, Crimea should not have been given up then, just as Ukrainians did not give up Kyiv, Odesa, or Kharkiv after 2022. Ukrainians are fighting for their land, for their independence. Now, our soldiers have successes in Donetsk and Sumy regions. I am confident that we will defend Ukraine, effectively guarantee security, and that our people will always be grateful to President Trump, everyone in America, and every partner and ally for their support and invaluable assistance. Russia must end this war, which it itself started. And I hope that our joint strength with America, with our European friends, will force Russia into a real peace. Thank you!'

MyVoice: Views of our readers 18th August 2025
'Vote chori' charge likely to be game changer The Election Commission's conduct and its conduct of electoral roll revision and elections and the BJP's defence of the Election Commission have become a burning issue. The phrase, 'vote chori', described as 'improper' by the Election Commission, now has wide currency. It resonates with the people as 'Bofors' and '2G' once did. Now the BJP and the Election Commission find themselves on the receiving end of the Opposition's campaign for transparency in the poll process. If the momentum that the campaign gains is anything to go by, it could turn out to be a game-change and BJP's nemesis. Few people believe that the Election Commission does not differentiate between political parties. Both the Election Commission and the BJP speak the same language. The claim of 'vote chori' is not an insult to the Constitution, but the fact of vote chori, if proven with evidence, is. More and more people come to believe that all is not right with the way the electoral rolls are prepared and elections are held. The fear of disenfranchise looms large. Voter manipulation is no ordinary crime in a democracy. The Election Commission cannot afford to be seen as complicit in the crime. Even in its press conference held to counter the Opposition vote fraud charge, other than saying that the Opposition is trying to fearmonger and mislead the people and using the images of voters for political gain is unethical and invoking the paramountcy of the privacy of voters to justify its opacity, the Election Commission has given no convincing answers to valid questions and shown no willingness to take corrective action. The Rahul Gandhi-led Vote Adhikar Yatra is likely to bring enormous pressure on the poll body to rise above political considerations and perform its role as it should to restore its credibility and regain people's trust in it as a constitutional institution with independence, impartiality and integrity. G. David Milton,Maruthancode (TN) PM's adulation for RSS is demeaning The Kerala Chief Minister was spot-on in decrying the Prime Minister's public display of his adulation for the RSS during the latter's speech from the ramparts of the Red Fort on Independence Day. The Prime Minister should have expressed his happiness at Indian independence, rising above compulsions. The RSS had practically no noteworthy role to play in the Independence struggle. Every kindergarten student is thorough with RSS' hand-in-glove involvement with the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi for which the organisation was subsequently outlawed. Dr. George Jacob,Kochi Kyiv-Moscow direct peace a distinct possibility Though the contents of a high-stakes summit between US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on ceasefire in Ukraine remains vague, the nearly three-hour summit in Alaska, ended with Trump calling for a direct peace pact between Kyiv and Moscow bypassing the ceasefire route long advocated by Ukraine and its Western allies seems a distinct possibility. India welcomed the summit terming the pursuit of peace is commendable. Trump's earlier announced 25% secondary tariff on Indian purchases of Russian oil may be deferred. The tariff deadline could quietly lapse to India's advantage. Trump's announcement that India had already stopped buying Russian oil raised eyebrows – since India is ready to deal with any eventuality arising out of the irrational US reaction on India's exports to that country. S Lakshmi,Hyderabad Fabulous fifty for Rajinikanth in Indian cinema The one and only 'Style Mannan (style king) ' and the only ' Thalaivar (leader) ' of Tamil film industry and Indian cinema Shivaji Rao Gaikwad alias Superstar Rajini Kanth celebrates fifty years of cinema this week. Making his debut in 1975 in eminent director K Balachandars 'apoorva ragangal' (the film was released on 18th August 1975 ) the living legend is truly a lesson to be read, inspired and emulated. His ups and downs of life, his super stardom, his spiritualism, his simple life, humbleness and his rising as a phoenix every time there was a low is some sort of a motivational book from which lessons can be learned. His sterling performance and unique style of acting, his mesmerising screen presence, his voice and dialogue, his bond with his fans, his stint as an entertainer on screen - make him the 'Super Style star of Indian cinema'. Many of us belong to a generation that grew watching the super duper hits of this 'young man who never turns old', though he's nearing his 75 this December!'. None can forget his power-packed film flicks like Mullum malarum, Billa, Annamalai, Enthiran, Thalapathy, Hum, Baasha, Jailer and an endless list of around 170 movies in a career spanning over five decades, and this includes films in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, and Malayalam making him a pan Indian star.
