Srinagar: The framed photo of a Hindu Goddess hung on a wall. On large trays, sweets meant for sale in the market remained neatly arranged. In a shop, cooked chickpeas were served to people. In a field young men dug land and several miles away a man fixed the puncture in the tyres. In a dusty village, a group of people worked to haul up raw bricks into the brick kiln. All these routine activities of daily life involving nonlocals went on away from the media glare on the all-parties meeting which was convened by the former chief minister and NC president, Farooq Abdullah, at his Gupkar residence on 22 August after the authorities said that those settled here from rest of India can vote in the elections in Jammu and Kashmir. Political parties including the amalgam of the People’s Alliance of Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) — which was constituted to work towards the restoration of Article 370 — have opposed the voting rights of the nonlocals in Jammu and Kashmir and this came after a serie

Telugu Language Day is celebrated on 29 August annually in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Telugu is spoken in mostly spoken Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The Dravidian language is one of India’s six classical languages. On this day, funds and awards are provided by the government of Andhra Pradesh to improve the Telugu language. Various programmes are held on the day to promote the language. The date of 29 August was chosen to be the Telugu Language Day to coincide with the birthday of Telugu poet, writer and social visionary Gidugu Venkata Ramamurthy. History: Before the early 20th century, the Telugu being taught in educational institutions was the Sanskritised diction used by scholars. This version of Telugu was quite a bit different from the Telugu that the common people were using. As a result, learning how to master written Telugu was not useful for communication and the language suffered as a result. Ramamurthy wanted the Telugu being taught in schools to reflect the one spoken

Telugu Language Day commemorates the birth anniversary of a prominent writer, power, and social visionary, Gidugu Venkata Ramamurthy who was born in 1863. On this day, celebrated annually on 29 August, the government of Andhra Pradesh awards funds and offers awards for the advancement of the Telugu language. The Department of Culture, Government of Andhra Pradesh, organizes the events for the day. Telugu is the official language of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Ramamurthy, whose father had died when he was just 12 years old, had studied different languages and was well-versed in linguistic theory. He was instrumental in standardizing the Telugu script and colloquial language. Telugu is one of the major languages of the country. It is recognised as a Scheduled language as well as a classical language. Telugu is also the fourth most spoken Indian language after Hindi, Bengali, and Marathi. As we gear up to celebrate this day, here are a few messages and quotes that you can share with y

New Delhi: It’s another word for sleaze in the Capital. Delhi’s red-light area of Garstin Bastion Road, named after a British civil servant said to have brought all of Delhi’s brothels to one place, is infamous but it does see some good police work every now and then. Last Saturday, a joint police team from Delhi and West Bengal did just that: they raided ‘Kotha number 56’ on GB Road and retrieved an ‘escaped’ sex worker’s son, her only child, from the clutches of a pimp and the brothel’s madam. They even took a Firstpost journalist along to see the living hell most of us do not know exists in the heart of the Capital. This is his account: This story begins in September 2021 when 25-year-old Ismat (name changed) went missing from her village in West Bengal. Although she was named in a missing person report only in January this year, Ismat had eloped with a man called Nurul Hasan, taking her three-year-old son to what she fancied would be a better life. In a turn of events that must

A nation with great power ambitions needs to be confident in its actions and choices. It cannot afford to wallow in self-doubt and anxiety at every step. To quote C Raja Mohan , “the fears of a ‘developing nation’ can’t be the guiding principles for the diplomacy of a ‘developed nation’. And yet India’s chronic insecurities were all on display over the recent incident of a Chinese spy ship docking at Sri Lanka’s Hambantota port. Yuan Wang 5, a tracking vessel capable of surveillance and monitoring of satellite, rocket and intercontinental ballistic missile launches, has left Sri Lankan shores after a brief docking for “replenishment” from 16-22 August, but it leaves behind a debate that portrays India as insecure
