A book exhibition related to the Kakori Action Centenary Year and films from India and abroad were screened as part of the festival. A painting competition on the theme, 'Role of women in the freedom movement' and a quiz competition based on the 'Kakori Action Centenary Year' were organized for students from various schools. Addressing students and teachers, granddaughter of freedom fighter Sachindra Nath Bakshi , Mita Bakshi not only recalled the contributions of her grandfather, Sachindra Nath Bakshi, but also shared the spirit of the historic movement that awakened the entire nation for the freedom struggle. She narrated how her grandfather and several other young revolutionaries dedicated their lives to India's independence. "The Kakori incident on Aug 9, 1925, was a daring revolutionary act and became a major symbol of resistance against British rule, igniting the flame of freedom across the country. The sacrifice of revolutionaries like Sachindra Nath Bakshi remains a source of inspiration for today's youth and their legacy reminds us that no sacrifice is too great for the motherland," she said BBAU vice chancellor Prof Raj Kumar Mittal emphasized that India is a great nation, whose roots are deeply embedded in an ancient civilization, rich cultural heritage, and the principle of unity in diversity. He reminded the audience that countless brave sons have sacrificed their lives in the journey of India's freedom and development. Remembering their sacrifices and building the India of their dreams is a moral responsibility for all of us. Mumbai-based director Prof Mohan Das shared all about Ayodhya film festival.

US Open Singles Champions To Get Record $5 Million In 2025
Prize money at the U.S. Open will rise to nearly $85 million across all competitions this year, including a record $5 million each to the women's and men's singles champions, and total player compensation is jumping 20% to $90 million, the most in tennis history. The U.S. Tennis Association announced the payouts Wednesday for the year's last Grand Slam tournament, which begins with the new mixed doubles event and its $1 million top check on Aug. 19-20. Singles competition starts on a Sunday for the first time — Aug. 24 — as those brackets expand from 14 days to 15. The increases at Flushing Meadows — where last year's total compensation was $75 million — come as the sport's leading players have been in discussions with each of the four major tournaments in a bid to receive a higher percentage of revenues at the U.S. Open, Wimbledon, French Open and Australian Open. Novak Djokovic, Coco Gauff and 2024 U.S. Open champions Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner were among 20 players who signed a letter sent to the heads of the four Grand Slam events in March seeking more prize money and a greater say in what they called 'decisions that directly impact us.' Since then, some players have held talks with the majors. The previous high amount for a U.S. Open singles championship was $3.85 million in 2019, before decreasing during the COVID-19 pandemic. This year's $5 million check represents a 39% hike from last year's $3.6 million. The same percentage increase was applied to the singles runners-up, who get $2.5 million each. Semifinalists will earn $1.26 million, a 26% rise. At Wimbledon, which ended last month, prize money went up about 7% to about $73 million at the exchange rate when the All England Club announced its player payments. The singles champions were paid about $4 million apiece. In New York, the winning teams in women's and men's doubles will receive $1 million, a new high for those events at the U.S. Open, where total prizes for qualifying are going up to $8 million, a 10% increase. The $85 million in 2025 U.S. Open prize money includes singles, doubles, qualifying and wheelchair events. Wednesday's news comes after the USTA said in May that its main arena, Arthur Ashe Stadium, would be overhauled as part of an $800 million project touted as the 'largest single investment' in U.S. Open history.

Trinity Rodman reacts to Ben Shelton's Toronto win with funny takes on tennis traditions
Trinity Rodman reacts to Ben Shelton's Toronto win with funny takes on tennis traditions (Image via Getty) Trinity Rodman and Ben Shelton have been a couple for less than six months. As Ben Shelton reached the semi‑finals of the National Bank Open in Toronto on August 6, 2025, the Washington Spirit forward posed questions about tennis that even he couldn't clearly explain. She turned to fans with fresh confusion and curiosity. Her post became a bridge between two sports worlds, drawing attention to etiquette, traditions, and the differences between soccer and tennis. Trinity Rodman asks tennis questions after Ben Shelton wins quarterfinal On August 6, 2025, Ben Shelton beat Alex de Minaur in Toronto in straight sets (6‑3, 6‑4) to advance to the National Bank Open semi‑finals. Trinity Rodman, 23, watched from afar and shared a TikTok video asking tennis fans for help understanding the game. She admitted that she asked Ben Shelton about tennis rules but his answers left her more confused. One question she stressed: why do players raise their hand and say 'sorry' when they win a point after the ball hits the net? She compared it to scoring off the post in soccer and apologising to the goalkeeper, something she found puzzling. She also wondered why tennis players must act so reserved after winning a point, as showing strong emotion can be seen as cocky. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What Happens To Celebrities That Go To Jail? Undo Trinity Rodman pointed to the strict traditions at events like Wimbledon, where players and even fans wear all white, a rule she doesn't understand compared to soccer's varied jerseys. She joked that a match between Ben Shelton and Flavio Cobolli felt like a 'Spider‑Man meme' because they wore nearly identical outfits. Trinity Rodman wrapped up the video by suggesting two changes: let players choose the music during changeovers and extend the 90‑second break between games. She said long waits can cause missed bathroom breaks or lost games. Her video drew over 137 comments from fans who didn't think her questions were 'stupid'.
