Nearly a month after the January 28 plane crash near Baramati that killed five people — including former Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar — the political and legal battle surrounding the tragedy has intensified. On Thursday morning, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP-SCP) MLA Rohit Pawar, along with Yogendra Pawar, arrived at the Baramati Rural Police […]
A small section on judicial corruption in a brand new NCERT textbook has triggered a storm. The SC has not merely ordered the textbook to be removed from bookstores, it has also banned it entirely, initiated a suo motu case, and warned that “heads must roll”. What started as a curriculum rollout under the new […]
Precious metal prices moved lower on Thursday, both in domestic and overseas markets, as investors chose to secure profits following a sharp upward run in recent sessions.

All this 10-year-old wanted was to accompany his uncle to a market. So, the boy went to Munchun Kewat’s house in north Delhi’s Chandan Vihar Wednesday morning, excited about a trip to Azadpur Mandi. The main gate was latched from outside. He opened it, stepped in and pulled aside the curtain to the room. His […]
At 15, Saniya Ansari had her whole life ahead of her. But, in August last year, she chose to end her journey on earth. Reports surfaced of months of harassment by neighbours that drove her to suicide. They allegedly used a 39-year-old Gujarat law to claim her family had no right to buy property in their area. Her […]
A family borrowed Rs 8 lakh — every rupee scraped from loans and friends and well-wishers — to put Sanjay Kumar on an air ambulance to Delhi. He was 41. He was a burn victim. He was the only one earning in the family. He never landed. Sanjay was being taken to Sir Ganga Ram […]
A political confrontation intensified on Tuesday after Delhi Police arrested Indian Youth Congress (IYC) chief Uday Bhanu Chib for his alleged role in last week’s shirtless protest at the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi.

Across Rajasthan’s Jhalawar district and beyond, a sophisticated racket stealthily redirected money meant for the poor. It reportedly ran on stolen Aadhaar details. It forged certificates. What’s more, it didn’t cease to compromise government portals. The nexus ran for years before anyone noticed. The scam reportedly surfaced last year. Jhalawar police received a tip-off that […]
Artificial intelligence can process a billion words in seconds. It still needs a human to explain that “REF-yoos” is rubbish and “re-FYOOZ” means to decline, as a report rightly points out. Understanding of that distinction belongs to a linguist, a professional the technology industry now desperately needs and can barely find. For decades, linguistics was […]
Corporate India finds itself caught in a contradiction. While women aspire to lead, the system meant to propel them forward continues to be rigid.

When a professor at a Galgotias University booth at India’s marquee AI showcase presented a commercially available Chinese robot dog as the institution’s own creation, it did more than spark outrage.

The Akshaya Patra of the Mahabharata was no ordinary vessel. It could feed a thousand hungry stomachs and still hold more. A miracle of abundance that knew no bottom, no limit, no end.

It was supposed to be India’s moment on the global AI stage. Instead, the country’s flagship artificial intelligence summit has become a showcase of something else entirely. Last-minute cancellations, a fake robot scandal, gridlocked streets, and a photo op where two rival tech chiefs refused to hold hands. Bill Gates had one job at India’s AI […]
Recently, Vibes of India published an unsettling piece of data. It stated that Indian nationals recorded the highest increase of 257% in sexual offence convictions among foreign nationals in the UK from 2021 to 2024. In another episode, 12 men were arrested in Georgia’s Cherokee County in a three-day multi-agency sting operation last year. They […]
A stage. A statement. A showcase of ambition. The India AI Impact Summit was more than just a tech gathering. Leaders spoke of promise, power and possibility. And of responsibility, fairness and control. Education reform, partnerships with nations of the Global South, and accountable governance emerged as key priorities. Mitesh Khapra, founder of AI4Bharat and Associate Professor […]
A postgraduate medical seat being allotted to a candidate who scored just 9 out of 800 in the NEET PG entrance exam has triggered fresh concerns about the credibility of India’s medical education admission system and the growing influence of non-merit routes. In a development that many doctors’ groups have called alarming, the candidate became […]
If the dream was “Digital India meets AI revolution,” Day One at the India AI Impact Summit felt more like “Digital India meets Delhi traffic and endless queues.” Visitors to the grand Bharat Mandapam in Delhi reported QR codes that refused to scan, UPI systems that took an unscheduled break, and internet so patchy it […]
