His first test will be against South Africa here at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. Lately, Varun has also worked on the under-cutter, which has earned him wickets in the ongoing World Cup as well. Being rooted at the crease and trying to launch him for big hits is not the right approach, a mistake South Africa too have made when facing Varun.

Reliance Industries has pledged to invest ₹10 lakh crore (trillion) in the next seven years as chairman Mukesh Ambani unveiled an ambitious roadmap to put Jio at the core of India’s artificial intelligence (AI) journey. ADVERTISEMENTThe investment, to be made by Reliance and Jio together, is not to be guided by profit motive alone, the chairman said. According to Ambani, Jio would use the same playbook for AI as it did to drive down the cost of data in India. Ambani said the data centres would be powered by green energy, allaying fears that AI infrastructure will guzzle fossil fuels and ramp up India’s carbon footprint. “We have an in-house energy advantage with up to 10 GW of ready green-power surplus, anchored by solar in both Kutch and Andhra Pradesh,” the RIL chairman informed.

As India hosts the global AI impact summit, rhetoric about the transformative potential of AI in healthcare seems to be overshadowing critical ground realities and concerns. During this conversation, clinicians, public health experts, AI technologists, health workers, and patient-advocates gathered not to celebrate AI, but to interrogate it while exploring alternative approaches. AI systems should translate complex medical information into clear, relevant explanations which support informed decisions. If public data and public funds build AI systems, their primary obligation must be to strengthen public provisioning — not subsidising corporate profits. While shaping the future of Indian healthcare, AI and various technologies can provide assistance — but people, health workers and public health must remain firmly at the centre.

This brings us to the current hype surrounding the multi-role fighter aircraft deal for 114 more Rafales. The joint Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft project with Russia was quietly shelved during Modi’s first term and has not been revived since.

It is an unfortunate truth that hate speeches have been normalised in India’s public and political discourses. The rise of hate speech in the public square coincided with the electoral ascendancy of the BJP. This implied a rise of 13% in hate speeches compared to such incidents in 2024, and a 97% spike from the corresponding figure in 2023. Strikingly, the report also found that of the 1,318 events, 88% of hate speeches took place in BJP-ruled states. But the key point, as was made by one of the learned judges, pertains to the responsibility of India’s political leaders to foster the spirit of fraternity.
