Jkhand CM recalls his father Shibu Sorens contributions on World Tribal Day
PTI
Ranchi, Aug 9 (PTI) Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Saturday recalled the contributions of former CM and his father Shibu Soren on the occasion of World Tribal Day, officially known as International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples.
The Adivasi Mahotsav, celebrated statewide on the day, is being observed in a simple manner this year to mark respect for Shibu Soren, who passed away on Monday at the age of 81 in a Delhi hospital.
'Today is World Tribal Day, but my guide, my guru, my father is no longer with us physically. However, his struggle, his thoughts, and his ideals will always continue to inspire us. He was not only my father but also the soul of Jharkhand, including the entire Adivasi community, a symbol of struggle, and the most vocal protector of Jal-Jungle-Jamin (water, forest, and land)", Soren posted on X.
Soren said the tribal society has shown humanity the path to living a happy life in harmony with nature.
'It is the Adivasi society that has shown humanity the path to living a happy life in harmony with nature. The life philosophy of the Adivasi society begins with nature and ends with nature. However, for centuries, the Adivasi and other exploited and deprived communities have been forced to remain on the margins. Baba (Shibu Soren) dedicated his entire life to changing this situation," he said.
His father loved the programmes held across the state on World Tribal Day, as the occasion has been a means to weave together the rich civilisation and culture of the tribal society, he said.
'It has become an opportunity to provide a global platform for the talents of the Adivasi community," Soren added.
Soren said that he pays respects to his Baba Disom Guru and all ancestors on the occasion of International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, who protected tribal identity, culture, civilisation and rights through their struggles and sacrifices.
'On the occasion, I pledge to follow the path shown by them and raise the torch of tribal identity even higher in Jharkhand and the country," Soren wrote. PTI SAN RG

USSR On Sweatshirt: Russia's Foreign Minister's Alaska Outfit Hints At Soviet Nostalgia
Last Updated: Russian Foreign Minister arrived in Alaska for talks on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, wearing a USSR T-shirt to signal Russia's strong stance. He stated Russia's position is clear. Ahead of much anticipated meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday, Russian Foreign Minister's attire drew attention. Sergey Lavrov arrived in Alaska for high-stakes talks wearing a T-shirt written 'CCCP", the Russian abbreviation for the Soviet Union. Lavrov will be meeting US President Trump and Russian President Putin for discussions on ending the war. Ukraine was also once part of the Soviet Union. Wearing a USSR T-shirt might reflect Lavrov's nationalistic and nostalgic feelings towards the Soviet era, symbolizing Russia's desire to regain its former stature. By donning the T-shirt, Lavrov could be emphasizing Russia's distinct identity and sovereignty, indicating that the country will not compromise its interests or principles during negotiations. This choice of attire might subtly suggest to the US that Russia will participate in talks on its own terms, maintaining a firm stance without appearing weak. When asked about Trump's remark that there is a '25 per cent chance" the talks will not be successful, Lavrov said, 'We never try to anticipate the outcome or make any guesses. What we do know, however, is that we have arguments we can contribute to the discussion and that our position is clear. We will present it." The summit is scheduled for August 15 at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska. Ahead of his face-to-face meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump said in a post on Truth Social, 'High Stakes!" 'I think President Putin will make peace and President Zelensky will make peace," Trump was quoted as saying by ANI. Asked if the US would offer Putin access to rare minerals as an incentive to end the war, Trump replied, 'We're going to see what happens with our meeting. We have a big meeting. It's going to be, I think, very important for Russia, and it's going to be very important for us and important for us only that we're going to save a lot of lives." view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

US FBI Director Kash Patel Extends Wishes To India On Independence Day
Last Updated: FBI Director Kash Patel and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio extend Independence Day greetings to India. US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel on Friday extended greetings to India on its 79th Independence Day. Patel posted a reply on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's X post on Independence day celebrations, saying, 'Happy Independence Day India." Happy Independence Day India — Kash Patel (@Kash_Patel) August 15, 2025 Earlier today, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also wished the country, saying that the 'historic relationship" between the two countries is consequential and far-reaching, and pledged to work together to address modern challenges. 'On behalf of the United States, I extend our congratulations and warm wishes to the people of India as they celebrate their Independence Day on August 15," he said. 'The historic relationship between the world's largest democracy and the world's oldest democracy is consequential and far-reaching. Our two countries are united by our shared vision for a more peaceful, prosperous, and secure Indo-Pacific region. Our partnership spans industries, promotes innovation, pushes the boundaries of critical and emerging technologies, and extends into space," he added. India is celebrating its 79th Independence Day on today with full patriotic fervour. The day commemorates the nation's freedom from over 200 years of British colonial rule, which finally came to an end in 1947. Who Is Kash Patel? Kash Patel, a staunch Trump loyalist, has a background in both defence and intelligence. Born in 1980 in Garden City, New York, to Gujarati Indian immigrant parents, Patel's career has been closely tied to Trump's political rise. After completing his law degree at Pace University, Patel initially struggled to land a prestigious law firm job. Instead, he spent nearly nine years as a public defender before joining the US Justice Department. Patel soon gained national attention for his role in the committee's investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election. He was instrumental in drafting the controversial 'Nunes Memo," which accused the FBI of abusing surveillance powers in its investigation into the Trump campaign. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
