This event marks a historic instance of a Hindu scripture being recited within the British Parliament. Earlier this year in April, members of the Indian community in London gathered outside the Pakistan High Commission to chant the Hanuman Chalisa after tensions arose between Indian and Pakistani groups following the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives.
Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri has often made headlines during his international visits. During a recent trip to Australia, he faced social media backlash after being seen sporting fashionable sunglasses, a luxury jacket during a flight, and relaxing on a cruise—images that stirred conversations online.

MP not just land of promise, but platform for investment: CM
Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh is no longer just a land of potential, but a robust platform with a supportive ecosystem for investment, CM Mohan Yadav said in Spain on Friday night. Addressing a gathering of the Indian diaspora and "Friends of MP" in Barcelona, Yadav said his govt had undertaken significant reforms in policy, processes and incentives to create a business-friendly environment that inspires investor confidence. "Indians living abroad are not just citizens but also custodians of Indian culture," the CM said. He said the sense of belonging he felt among the Indian community in Barcelona made him feel as if he was in Ujjain. "Wherever Indians go, they uphold traditions and festivals with dignity. This interaction is not merely a dialogue but a heartfelt connection." He said Madhya Pradesh's investment policies were crafted keeping investors' needs in mind. "Processes have been streamlined through digitisation and fast-track approvals. A recent example includes the immediate online land allocation to an entrepreneur in London." Yadav announced that to boost medical education, the govt will offer 25 acres for just Rs 1 to institutions or investors setting up medical colleges — enabling quality healthcare access in rural and underserved regions. The CM stated highlighting tourism promotion, that hotel projects worth up to Rs100 crore are eligible for financial assistance of up to Rs 30 crore. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Paras Sector 59 Gurgaon | Paras Floret Low-Rise Flats Paras The Florett Book Now Undo This aims to develop world-class tourism infrastructure in the state. Yadav noted that sectors such as textiles, pharmaceuticals, agro-processing, and tourism offer immense investment opportunities. The government is actively working to expand the IT sector to smaller cities. Each sector has dedicated policies and support structures. Yadav announced that over 3 lakh solar pumps will be distributed to farmers to promote energy self-reliance—reducing irrigation dependence on electricity, cutting power bills, and advancing green energy in the state. The CM said Madhya Pradesh has surpassed even Punjab in wheat production. The govt is promoting agro-based industries through the development of food processing units and agri-clusters, boosting both farmer income and industrial growth. He shared that the state is integrating small towns into the digital and tech mainstream by facilitating the establishment of IT industries, helping local youth find employment within their hometowns and preventing migration. Yadav, concluding his address, urged the Indian diaspora to actively participate in Madhya Pradesh's development journey. "The govt doesn't just listen—it acts on every suggestion," he said. "This state is the heart of India, where every effort and connection is truly welcomed."

China begins construction of world's biggest dam over Brahmaputra in Tibet
BEIJING: China on Saturday formally started the construction of a USD 167.8 billion dam over the Brahmaputra River in Tibet, close to the Indian border in Arunachal Pradesh. Chinese Premier Li Qiang announced the start of the construction of the dam at a groundbreaking ceremony in the lower reaches of the Brahmaputra River, locally known as Yarlung Zangbo, at Nyingchi City, official media reported. The groundbreaking ceremony took place at the dam site of Nyingchi's Mainling hydropower station in Tibet Autonomous Region, state-run Xinhua news agency reported. The hydropower project, regarded as the biggest infrastructure project in the world, raised concerns in the lower riparian countries, India and Bangladesh. The project will consist of five cascade hydropower stations, with a total investment estimated at around 1.2 trillion Yuan (about USD 167.8 billion), the report said. According to a 2023 report, the hydropower station is expected to generate more than 300 billion kWh of electricity each year, enough to meet the annual needs of over 300 million people. It will primarily deliver electricity for external consumption while also addressing local demand in Tibet, which China officially refers to as Xizang. Representatives from various organisations, including the National Development and Reform Commission and the Power Construction Corporation of China and locals attended the ceremony, the report said. The project was approved in December last year.

Lokesh tells CAs to be acquainted and updated with their subject
IT and HRD Minister Nara Lokesh on Saturday called upon the chartered accountants (CA) to be fully acquainted and updated with their subject and gear up to handle advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI). He also appreciated the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) for being the first in the world to implement forensic accounting standards. Addressing a mega student meet of the ICAI titled 'Spoorthi'in Guntur, Mr. Lokesh said that despite completing 76 years, the institute remained an accounting powerhouse and has been a major strength of the Indian financial system. He observed that the importance of CA could be understood from the fact that every budget-approved file required an auditor's seal, and added they were drivers of the country's economic growth. The State government has always valued the inputs given by the ICAI on various matters of financial administration and would keep consulting it for policymaking, he added. Mr. Lokesh insisted that the CA play a significant role in achieving the Prime Minister's vision of Viksit Bharat, which aims to make India a $30 trillion economy by 2047. He stated that in today's world, not only IQ but technology quotient (TQ) was also essential to stay ahead. 'Let us all work together to steer India and Andhra Pradesh towards progress. The future belongs to you, and the government will stand by you,' Mr. Lokesh said. Guntur West MLA Galla Madhavi, ICAI vice-president D. Prasanna Kumar, ICAI south India regional council vice-chairman Muppalla Subba Rao, Guntur branch chairman N. Rajashekhar, South India CA Students' Association Guntur branch chairman Chinta Raghunandan, vice-chairperson B. Jhansi Lakshmi, secretary V.V. Naresh and others took part.
