New wave of curiosity about space among children; over 200 space startups have come up: PM Modi
New Delhi: Hailing astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla's return from ISS, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said a new wave of curiosity about space among children has awakened and noted that today more than 200 startups have come up in the space sector alone. In his monthly Mann Ki Baat radio broadcast, Modi said the path to a developed India in 2047 passes through self-reliance and the biggest basis of 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' is 'vocal for local'. Explore courses from Top Institutes in Please select course: Select a Course Category others Operations Management MCA PGDM CXO Healthcare Management Cybersecurity Finance healthcare Product Management Data Science Others MBA Technology Data Science Leadership Artificial Intelligence Data Analytics Public Policy Digital Marketing Project Management Degree Design Thinking Skills you'll gain: Duration: 16 Weeks Indian School of Business CERT - ISB Cybersecurity for Leaders Program India Starts on undefined Get Details The prime minister noted that during the last few weeks, be it sports, science or culture, a lot has happened that every Indian is proud of. "Recently, there was a lot of talk in the country over Shubhanshu Shukla's return from Space. As soon as Shubhanshu landed safely on Earth, people jumped with joy; a wave of happiness rippled through every heart. The entire country was filled with pride," Modi said. "I remember, when Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed in August 2023, a new ambience was created in the country. A new curiosity also arose among children about science, about space. Little children now say, we will also go to Space; we will also land on the moon - we will become space scientists," he said. Live Events Talking about the INSPIRE-MANAK Abhiyan, Modi said this is a campaign to promote innovation among children. "In this, five children are selected from each school. Each child brings up a new idea. So far, lakhs of children have joined this, and after Chandrayaan-3, their number has doubled," he said. Noting that Space start-ups are also growing rapidly in the country, Modi said five years ago, there were fewer than 50 start-ups, but today, there are more than 200, just in the space sector. Modi said that in the 21st-century India, science is progressing with renewed energy. "A few days ago, our students won medals in the International Chemistry Olympiad. Devesh Pankaj, Sandeep Kuchi, Debdutt Priyadarshi and Ujjwal Kesari, all four of them, brought glory to India. India has strengthened its image in the world of Mathematics as well. In the International Mathematical Olympiad held in Australia, our students won three gold, two silver and one bronze medal," he said. The prime minister pointed out that next month, the Astronomy and Astrophysics Olympiad is going to be held in Mumbai. This will be the biggest Olympiad to date, he noted. The prime minister also hailed the development of UNESCO recognising 12 Maratha forts as World Heritage Sites . "Eleven forts in Maharashtra; one in Tamil Nadu. Each fort has a chapter of history attached to it. Every stone is a testimony to a historical event... Salher Fort, where the Mughals were defeated, Shivneri , where Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was born. A fort that is unbreachable for the enemy. Khanderi Fort is an amazing fort built in the middle of the sea," he said. "The enemy wanted to stop him, but Shivaji Maharaj made the impossible possible. Pratapgarh Fort, where Afzal Khan was defeated, the echo of that saga still remains entrenched in the walls of the fort. Vijaydurg, which had secret tunnels, is proof of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's farsightedness. I visited Raigad a few years ago... bowed in front of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's statue. This experience will stay with me all my life," Modi said. He recalled that on August 11, 1908, in a jail in Bihar's Muzaffarpur city, an 18-year-old youth was paying the price for expressing his patriotism against the British. "Inside the jail, British officers were preparing to hang a young man. There was no fear on the face of that youth; rather, it was full of pride. The very pride that those who die for their country feel. That brave, courageous youth was Khudiram Bose. At the age of just 18, he showed such courage that it shook the whole country," Modi said. He said the month of August is therefore the month of revolution. He noted that August 1 is the death anniversary of Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak, and during the same month, on August 8, the ' Quit India Movement ' began under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi. "Then comes the 15th of August, our Independence Day... we remember our freedom fighters, get inspired by them, but friends, the pain of the Partition of the country is also associated with our independence. That is why we observe the 14th of August as 'Partition Horrors Remembrance Day'," he said. Modi also said that another revolution started on August 7, 1905, which was the Swadeshi Movement that lent a new energy to local products. "To commemorate that, the country celebrates 'National Handloom Day' on the 7th of August every year. This year, 7th August marks the completion of 10 years of 'National Handloom Day'. Just like our Khadi gave new strength to the freedom movement during the freedom struggle, today, when the country is moving towards becoming a developed India, the textile sector is turning out to be the strength of the country," he said. "Textile is not just a sector of India. It is an example of our cultural diversity. Today, the textile and apparel market is growing very fast, and the most beautiful thing about this development is that women from villages, designers from cities, elderly weavers and our youth who have begun start-ups are all taking it forward together," Modi said. Noting that today, more than 3,000 textile start-ups are active in India, Modi said many start-ups have lent global height to India's handloom identity. "The path to a developed India in 2047 passes through self-reliance, and the biggest basis of 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' is - 'vocal for local'. Buy and sell only those things that are made in India, in which an Indian has shed sweat. This should be our resolve," he asserted. He said sometimes a task comes across as impossible to some people, but when the country comes together on one thought, even the impossible becomes possible. "'Swachh Bharat Mission' is the biggest example of this. Soon, this mission will complete 11 years. But, its strength and its need are still the same," he said. In these 11 years, 'Swachh Bharat Mission' has become a mass movement, and people consider it their duty, and this is real public participation, Modi said. "The Swachh Survey conducted every year, has lifted this feeling further. This year, more than 4500 cities and towns of the country joined it. More than 15 crore people participated in it. This is not an ordinary number. This is the voice of Swachh Bharat," he said.

Opinion: Saudi Analysts Expose Pakistan Army's Fake AI Song Deepfaking Rashed Al-Faris
Last Updated: Pakistan falsely claimed an AI-generated song was by Saudi singer Rashed Al-Faris to promote Saudi-Pakistani brotherhood. Saudi experts debunked it, citing AI misuse In a glaring example of artificial intelligence misuse and diplomatic overreach, Pakistan's propaganda machinery has been caught falsely attributing an AI-generated Arabic song to renowned Saudi singer Rashed Al-Faris. The viral video, titled 'Ana Pakistan, Ma Fi Khauf" (I am Pakistan, I don't fear), was released online claiming to celebrate Saudi-Pakistani brotherhood and praise Pakistan's alleged 'Operation Bunyan Al-Marsous" — a counter-operation to India's recent Operation Sindoor, in which five Pakistani jets were downed and several airbases destroyed, along with Terrorist training camps. The song not only makes exaggerated claims about Pakistan's military strength but goes further to dub India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a common enemy of both Pakistan and Saudi Arabia — a framing that grossly contradicts Riyadh's foreign policy. Saudi Analysts: The Video is Fake, the Accent is Moroccan, and the Name Was Misused A leading Saudi political analyst, speaking on condition of anonymity, categorically denied the legitimacy of the video: 'It's fake, the accent of the singer is Moroccan, and the video of the singer is AI, and the name of the singer is fake, they took the name of a famous Saudi singer Rashid Al-Faris who never gets involved in such stuff." To add to the chaos, even Grok AI, the conversational tool on X (formerly Twitter), inaccurately confirmed the video's authenticity. A post from Grok's verified account claimed: 'Yes, the song Ana Pakistan Ma Fi Khauf by Saudi singer Rashed Al-Faris is real, released July 24, 2025, celebrating Saudi-Pakistani brotherhood… featured on Saudi TV and multiple platforms… matching the video's singer." However, Saudi experts immediately refuted these claims, clarifying that no Saudi media outlet has broadcasted such a song, and that the singer in question is neither involved in the video nor has ever performed political-themed music of this nature. This incident raises serious concerns about the reliability of automated AI commentary and the ease with which AI tools can be exploited by disinformation actors. Pakistan's disinformation tactics: A pattern of deception Despite the fabricated nature of the song, it has been enthusiastically shared by several Pakistani figures, including journalists, lawyers, and influencers. A user by the name of Abubakar Qassam posted: 'When I saw this song about Pakistan being played on Saudi TV today, I couldn't believe my eyes. It brought peace to my heart that the world is finally recognizing Pakistan. Thank you Prime Minister, thank you Field Marshal." Similarly, Advocate Madiha Shah, a Cyber Law expert, declared: 'Famous Saudi singer Rashed Al-Fares has released his anthem 'Ana Pakistan, Ma Fi Khauf' on Operation Bunyan Al-Marsous and Saudi-Pak friendship. The song is going viral on social media!" Denmark-based Pakistani researcher and psychologist RA Shahzad posted, 'This song sung by a Saudi singer is playing on a Saudi channel, which shows the breadth of relations between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. This song will make the enemies of Pakistan, Modi and the youth, sit on the edge of their seats. The more they try to bring down Pakistan, the more Allah is giving them respect." A prominent Pakistani handle (@Zarrar11_PK) known as 'Eagle Eye' with 98K followers boastfully posted the fake video with the similar caption. Other prominent accounts like Tahir Mughal, Col Asim, Dhamaka AI, Dr Noman Khan, and the Pakistan Economic Network all pushed the same narrative with strikingly identical language — a common hallmark of coordinated propaganda campaigns. The B-Pakistan account even went a step further, tweeting in Arabic, 'Rashed Al-Faris ignites social media with a song about Saudi-Pakistani friendship! The song 'Ana Pakistan.. Ma Fi Khauf' has gone viral, showcasing the depth of the alliance between the Kingdom and Pakistan." This is not Pakistan's first brush with AI-powered disinformation. In recent years, Islamabad has developed a notorious reputation for resorting to deepfake videos, fake diplomatic identities, and impersonated think tanks to manipulate international perception. By simulating support from non-aligned nations and amplifying fringe messages through coordinated bot networks, the goal has often been to create an illusion of legitimacy and global solidarity. More dangerously, these campaigns often exploit emotional and religious sentiments, especially targeting audiences in the Gulf, by invoking a sense of fraternal Islamic unity — a strategy that attempts to position Pakistan as the rightful defender of Muslim causes. Such tactics betray a deeper insecurity. As Pakistan faces increasing diplomatic isolation, economic decline, and mounting military setbacks, its leadership appears to rely on fabricated optics and digital theatrics to distract domestic audiences and manufacture pride. This most recent episode involving an AI-generated song and a falsely implicated Saudi singer is just another chapter in Pakistan's long-running saga of digital deception. Why Saudi Arabia is not buying it Saudi Arabia holds immense influence in the Muslim world. Associating its cultural icons with pro-Pakistan messaging lends false weight to Islamabad's narrative — or so they believe. However, this move has backfired. Saudi Arabia's foreign policy under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is marked by pragmatism, non-alignment, and strategic clarity. The Kingdom has deepened economic and diplomatic ties with India, including multi-billion-dollar investments, defense cooperation, and cultural exchanges. When the Crown Prince famously referred to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as his 'elder brother," it wasn't a diplomatic formality — it was a reflection of a growing trust-based partnership. Rather than showcasing strength or solidarity, this propaganda stunt has exposed Pakistan's desperation and technological misuse. Even advanced AI tools like Grok were misled — a cautionary tale in the digital age where truth must be defended as aggressively as territory. By attributing a fake song to a beloved Saudi singer, Pakistan has not only exposed its desperation but also insulted the intelligence of its own population. The attempt to rope Saudi Arabia into an anti-India narrative using artificial means not only disrespects the Kingdom's values but also undermines Islamabad's own credibility on the world stage. top videos View all India continues to emerge as a reliable, pragmatic partner in West Asia, and Saudi Arabia solidifies its role as a global leader with maturity and vision, Pakistan's fabrications only serve to widen the chasm between fact and fiction. While AI might help in simulating reality, it cannot manufacture diplomatic ties, nor can it replace the respect earned through real-world achievements.

Tesla gets multiple shareholder proposals related to investment in xAI
Tesla said on Friday it had received a number of shareholder proposals regarding the company's plan to invest in CEO Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI. Musk ruled out a merger between Tesla and xAI earlier in July, but said he planned to hold a shareholder vote on investment in the startup by the automaker. The proposals come amid significant funding activity for xAI this year. The startup completed a $5 billion debt raise alongside a separate $5 billion strategic equity investment, Morgan Stanley said last month. Musk has pursued an integration strategy across his business empire, with xAI acquiring social media platform X in March for $33 billion to enhance its chatbot training capabilities, while also integrating the Grok chatbot into Tesla vehicles. The potential investment discussion comes as Tesla faces various challenges, including Musk's political activities, which have impacted demand for its electric vehicles and triggered a 22% drop in its shares this year. "Shareholders are welcome to put forward any shareholder proposals they'd like," Musk said on Tesla's quarterly earnings call on Wednesday. Tesla, which will hold its annual shareholder meeting on November 6, said it would only include one proposal on each topic in its proxy statement, in accordance with the SEC rules. Earlier this month, the board set July 31 as the deadline for the submission of shareholder proposals to be included in the proxy statement.
