Don't you feel guilty about selling Bharat Mata Rahul Gandhi criticizes the US accord and the Center
Speaking in the Lok Sabha following days of deadlock, Rahul Gandhi criticized the Central government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, for the recently concluded trade agreement with the United States, saying the administration should be embarrassed of it. In a vicious attack, Gandhi said that the Center "sold India" and that the government was endangering farmers' livelihoods by permitting US goods to enter."India is no longer yours. Do you not feel guilty for selling India? In reference to the trade deal, he declared, "You have sold our mother, Bharat Mata." He added that it was a "wholesale surrender" in which the interests of farmers were jeopardized and India's energy security was given to America. Gandhi went on to say that Donald Trump would have been advised to treat India equally if an INDIA Bloc administration had negotiated the trade deal with the US."This is total capitulation. The fact that it is a capitulation by more than simply the prime minister makes it tragic. He has given up the 1.5 billion Indians' future. Gandhi claimed that he had given up the future in order to save the BJP's financial structure, which is the subject of a case in the US.Gandhi claimed that the farmers' interests had been compromised and that they were facing a "storm" as American agricultural products flooded Indian markets. Additionally, he claimed that the Indian textile sector is "finished."We are about to enter a period of unrest, and the country has been sold. The country is sold out. "Its farmers and data have been sold," Gandhi reaffirmed as he wrapped up his remarks.Following Rahul Gandhi's address, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju declared that no one could sell India and charged that the Congress party was undermining the nation. "Congress is sad because India is progressing," he stated, asserting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is India's strongest PM. He claimed that before leaving Parliament, the Congress MP gave speeches full of falsehoods and unfounded accusations. Rijiju remarked, "He never stays back to hear the minister's response."It is regrettable that we lack a serious personality or a person with a serious character that would be appropriate for the role of opposition leader. Rahul Gandhi's lies will be refuted by our party both within and outside the House.

Updates for the 10th day of the Parliament Budget Session The Government-Opposition deadlock ends, and both Houses begin discussing the budget
The Lok Sabha began discussing the Union Budget on Tuesday, February 10, 2025, in the afternoon, signaling the end of the impasse between the opposition and treasury benches. The discussion had been delayed for days due to the opposition's insistence that LoP Rahul Gandhi be given the opportunity to speak on a number of topics. Following two adjournments, the House reconvened at 2 p.m., and the Speaker, Krishna Prasad Tenneti, invited Congressman Shashi Tharoor to commence the debate. The Thiruvananthapuram MP then began discussing the matter. Soon after opposition parties filed a notice to introduce a motion to oust Om Birla as Speaker of the Lok Sabha, the thaw occurred. Sukhendu Sekhar Roy of the Trinamool Congress emphasized that rising inequality could cause a "social upheaval," akin to what was seen in neighboring countries, as opposition parties criticized the government for failing to address issues like unemployment and inflation in the Union Budget during the budget discussion."If the situation is not brought under control, I fear that the country will soon experience social unrest similar to what has recently occurred in some of our neighboring countries. We have never witnessed such skyrocketing inequality between the rich, super rich, upper middle class, middle class, and the poor," Mr. Roy stated.

India displays its entire armed might on the 77th Republic Day, with Operation Sindoor taking front stage on the Kartavya Path.
Top national leaders and prominent foreign visitors joined the festivities, which had as their subject 150 years of "Vande Mataram." About 10,000 distinguished guests saw the parade, which combined military might with cultural cohesion.At its 77th Republic Day parade on Monday, January 26, 2026, India put military might front and centre. Kartavya Path was transformed into a sweeping display of missiles, armour, mechanised columns, and combat aircraft, with a keen focus on weapon systems related to Operation Sindoor, the high-intensity military operation carried out in May of last year.The BrahMos supersonic cruise missile, Akash air defence system, Suryastra rocket launcher, and Arjun Main Battle Tank were among the major armament systems on exhibit at the start of the military demonstration, which emphasised India's focus on battlefield readiness and domestic defence manufacturing. A large portion of the equipment on exhibit was either used in Operation Sindoor, the confrontation with Pakistan that took place from May 7–10, or it was directly inspired by lessons learnt.A tri-services tableau featuring replicas of key weapon systems used during the operation was a big draw. A glass-cased integrated operational command centre served as its focal point, providing a visual representation of Operation Sindoor's execution through the coordinated use of systems including the S-400 air defence system and BrahMos. Akash and S-400 systems were depicted as offering a protective air-defense shield during the fight, while BrahMos missiles were predicted to perform decisive offensive attacks.Lt. General Bhavnish Kumar, a second-generation officer and General Officer Commanding, Delhi Area, led the procession. The Indian Army demonstrated a phased "Battle Array Format," including its airborne component, for the first time. The reconnaissance element included high-mobility reconnaissance vehicles after the historic 61 Cavalry in active battle uniform. Flying in Prahar formation, the domestic Dhruv Advanced Light Helicopter and its armed counterpart Rudra displayed aerial battlefield shaping.

Why rising demonstrations are centered around India's Aravalli hills
The Supreme Court's redefinition of the Aravalli hills, one of the oldest geological formations in the world, which encompass the states of Rajasthan, Haryana, Gujarat, and Delhi, has sparked protests throughout northern India. Any landform rising at least 100 meters (328 feet) above the surrounding terrain is considered an Aravalli hill under the revised definition, which the court adopted in response to proposals from the federal government. An Aravalli range consists of two or more of these hills within 500 meters of one another, as well as the terrain in between. Environmentalists contend that classifying Aravalli hills according to height runs the risk of leaving many lower, scrub-covered but ecologically significant slopes vulnerable to mining and development. However, according to the federal government, the new definition is intended to increase uniformity and reinforce regulations rather than weaken rights.Protests have erupted across northern India after the Supreme Court redefined the Aravalli hills - one of the world's oldest geological formations spanning the states of Rajasthan, Haryana, Gujarat, and the capital, Delhi.

The government claims in the Rajya Sabha that the CCI controls airfares.
The Minister of State for Civil Aviation emphasized that supply, demand, seasonality, and operational factors all affect airfares.The government clarified in the Rajya Sabha on Monday that airfares are "governed" under the Competition Act, 2002, and that the Competition Commission of India (CCI) keeps an eye on anti-competitive practices in response to worries about oligopolistic practices and rising airfares in the aviation industry.John Brittas asked the administration about oligopolistic methods, exorbitant airfares, and timeliness problems in airline operations. The explanation was made in response to his unstarred question. The question especially focused on whether the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has the authority to step in in certain situations under Rule 135(4) of the Aircraft Rules, 1937.The government clarified in the Rajya Sabha on Monday that airfares are "governed" under the Competition Act, 2002, and that the Competition Commission of India (CCI) keeps an eye on anti-competitive practices in response to worries about oligopolistic practices and rising airfares in the aviation industry.John Brittas asked the administration about oligopolistic methods, exorbitant airfares, and timeliness problems in airline operations. The explanation was made in response to his unstarred question. The question especially focused on whether the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has the authority to step in in certain situations under Rule 135(4) of the Aircraft Rules, 1937.In response, Minister of State for Civil Aviation Murlidhar Mohol emphasized that supply, demand, seasonality, and operational factors all affect airfares. The Competition Commission of India (CCI) controls anti-competitive behaviors including cartelization, but the government does not regulate airfares to preserve competitiveness. According to the Minister, airlines have been made more aware of the need to provide reasonable fares, particularly during periods of high demand. He pointed out that in order to ensure adherence to Rule 135 of the Aircraft Rules, 1937, the DGCA established a Tariff Monitoring Unit (TMU) to keep an eye on airlines that engage in predatory or exorbitant pricing. The Minister underlined that although the government does not directly control airfares, it does make sure the market is competitive and that the interests of passengers are protected. He noted that government action in cases of excessive pricing involves redistributing capacity to areas with high demand in order to stabilize costs. With 12 scheduled commuter carriers and 830 aircraft, the aviation industry has witnessed remarkable increase in domestic passenger traffic in recent years. According to Mohol, the government is still dedicated to supporting a strong and competitive aviation industry while closely monitoring anti-competitive behavior through the DGCA and CCI processes.
Marathi manoos' are being attacked more frequently after the BJP won the Maharashtra elections: Raut
The Shiv Sena According to UBT spokesman Sanjay Raut, attacks against Marathi-speaking individuals have escalated since the BJP won the Maharashtra assembly elections. He also said that an atmosphere is being created to expel them from Mumbai and the surrounding areas.In an interview with reporters, Raut brought up an instance in Thane district's Kalyan when a Marathi-speaking family was allegedly attacked by non-Marathi speakers.In addition, he called the Maharashtra government "inauspicious" for the 14 fatalities that resulted from the accident of a passenger ferry and a navy boat. He claimed that killings and dacoity were occurring in districts and villages. According to the Sena (UBT) leader, the BJP undermined the Shiv Sena, a "organisation of Marathi manoos," and broke it apart, treating the locals as second-class citizens while giving Mumbai and the surrounding areas to non-Marathi-speaking businesspeople and builders."Since the state assembly elections, attacks on Marathi manoos have escalated. An atmosphere is being developed to prevent Marathi manoos from residing in Thane and Kalyan, and efforts are on to expel them from Mumbai," he stated.

China is constructing the biggest artificial island airport in the world.
The largest airport in the world on an artificial island is another impressive addition to China's aviation portfolio.According to an airport statement, the Dalian Jinzhou Bay International Airport, which is currently being built off the northeast coast of the country, will eventually span a 20-square-kilometer (7.7-square-mile) island with four runways and a passenger terminal that is 900,000 square meters (969,000 square feet).With the first phase scheduled to open in 2035, its operators hope to handle 80 million people annually across 540,000 flights.According to a tweet made by Dalian Jinzhou Bay International on the Chinese social networking site WeChat, "The nation's largest offshore airport is slowly rising from the sea level like the sunrise in the east."When finished, it will surpass Japan's Kansai Airport (KIX) and Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) as the largest airport on an artificial island in the world. Li Xiang, chief engineer of Dalian Airport Construction and Development Co., Ltd., told state-run local media in October that the project had experienced significant difficulties due to its complex geological conditions, high drilling difficulty, high quality demand, and tight construction schedule. The 7.5 million-person metropolis of Dalian has traditionally served as a transportation hub because of its close proximity to South Korea and Japan. According to Yicai, a state-affiliated daily, Dalian Zhoushuizi Airport, the city's international airport that has been in operation for almost a century, has already reached its maximum capacity and has undergone multiple expansions in recent years. According to state-run local media, the city began site selection and demonstration work on the new airport in 2003, but building only really got underway a few years ago. The expansion of China's aviation industry is mostly due to new airports. The nation is poised to overtake the US as the largest air travel market globally.

Art and Culture with Devdutt Pattanaik - An intriguing look into India's coin history
What was the composition of punch-marked coins, called Karshapanas? What can we learn about kings and their reigns from the inscriptions and imagery on coins?(The Indian Express introduces a new series of articles on topics and ideas including history, politics, international relations, art, culture, and heritage, environment, geography, science, and technology, among other subjects, that are authored by experienced writers and learned academics for UPSC candidates. Increase your chances of passing the highly sought-after UPSC CSE by reading and discussing with subject matter experts. The acclaimed author Devdutt Pattanaik, who specializes in mythology and culture, gives a compelling history of currencies in India in the piece that follows.)Humans have traded to enable exchange ever since the dawn of civilizations. Debt recording allows transactions to occur even in the absence of coins. Actually, a key factor in the production of coins was debt, or rinn, as the word appears in the Rig Veda.Although there is no proof of coinage in Harappa, cowrie shells that could have been used as money have been discovered. Consider the Hindi proverb, "Ek phooti kaudi nahin doonga" (I won't donate a single cent), which states that one cowrie shell (four phooti kaudi, or fractured cowrie shells) equals one penny. Even still, necklaces made of cowrie shells are worn by women at temples. It suggests that cowrie shells were once used as money for trade, much like gold coins, which some ladies also wear around their necks. Cowrie shells, which originated in the Maldives, were traded for money in Africa and India up until the Portuguese disrupted the system in the sixteenth century.Other than cowrie shells, numerous items were used as money by humans in different parts of the world. Certain civilizations in South America, for instance, used cocoa beans as money.
