17 March,2025 10:03 PM ISTAfter months of floating among the stars, NASA astronauts Sunita "Suni" Williams and Barry "Butch" Wilmore are finally heading home. Their return to Earth is just days away, but their incredible journey began nearly nine months ago. What was supposed to be a brief 10-day mission aboard Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft quickly turned into an unexpected adventure in space. The pair’s mission to the International Space Station (ISS) was originally planned to be short and sweet. However, a series of delays and unforeseen challenges kept them in orbit far longer than anyone expected. What was meant to be a quick trip became a nine-month stay on the ISS, turning their journey into one for the history books. Let’s take a closer look at the twists and turns that turned their brief mission into an extraordinary extended stay in space.... [Read More]
17 March,2025 05:46 PM ISTOn March 17, members of the Bajrang Dal staged a protest in front of the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in Maharashtra, demanding the removal of Aurangzeb`s tomb located in Sambhajinagar (formerly Aurangabad). The demonstrators were seen raising slogans against the government, calling for action on the matter. The protest comes after Bajrang Dal leader Nitin Mahajan made a public demand for the removal of Aurangzeb`s tomb in the region. This call for action has been supported by other political and religious groups, including Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam. Nirupam backed the demand from the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for the tomb`s removal, stating that such a demand was not unreasonable given the ongoing debate in the country over Aurangzeb’s historical actions. In response to the protests and growing tension around the issue, security forces have been deployed at the site of Aurangzeb`s tomb in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar to maintain law and order. This controversy highlights the ongoing debates over historical figures and their legacies, with some groups calling for changes to the public memory associated with them. The Maharashtra government has yet to make any official statement regarding the demand.... [Read More]

17 March,2025 03:24 PM ISTU.S. Central Command confirmed on March 16 that American forces are continuing operations against Yemen`s Houthi group. Washington has vowed to keep striking until the Houthis stop attacking shipping. A video released by the U.S. military shows fighter jets taking off from an undisclosed location, though Reuters could not verify the video`s date or location. On March 17, Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV reported that the U.S. launched two airstrikes on Hodeidah. In response, the Houthis warned they might escalate their attacks in retaliation for the U.S. airstrikes on March 15. President Trump announced a "decisive and powerful" military response against the Houthis on March 15, accusing them of piracy, violence, and terrorism targeting American assets. Trump said, "I’ve ordered the U.S. Military to take decisive action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen, who have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American and other ships, aircraft, and drones." Trump also emphasized that the U.S. would use "overwhelming lethal force" against the Houthis, citing their actions as harmful to global trade by choking transportation routes like the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, and the Gulf of Aden, and violating the principle of Freedom of Navigation. These airstrikes, which the Houthi-run health ministry claims killed at least 53 people, are the largest U.S. military operation in the Middle East since Trump took office. A U.S. official said the campaign could last for weeks. The Houthis, who have controlled much of Yemen for years, have launched numerous attacks on shipping since the Israel-Hamas conflict began in late 2023, citing support for Palestinians in Gaza....
