It is without question that education helped me escape, or at least deal it my way, the wounds of my forefathers. The same is true for both my parents different times, but on a much more impactful fashion. The gospel of education lived in the house as a most-valued valued member, her fragrance at times raw and merciless wafted through our every breath, and flowed through our veins as sustenance.

Chaos erupts in Kolkata's SRFTI as right-wing group procession turns violent
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 4 (IANS) Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI) was in turmoil again on Sunday after members of the Hindutva organisation 'Hindu Jagran Manch' tried to break through the gate of this educational institution in the Panchasayar area of Kolkata. Since the gate was closed, members of the organisation started protesting from outside. It is alleged that bricks and stones were hurled at the students who had gathered inside the campus. Counter-allegations have been made against the students for throwing bricks and stones. On September 27, SRFTI was in turmoil over a programme organised by an organisation linked to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Allegations of assault on students protesting against this programme were made against members of the Sangh's organisation 'Akhil Bharatiya Grahak Panchayat or ABGP (West Bengal)'. The Hindu Jagran Manch had called for a protest programme on Sunday in protest of September 27 incident. The police were also ready as they barricaded the SRFTI campus. However, the procession that started from Ajay Nagar broke the barricades and moved forward. Before that, the police had closed all the gates to enter the campus. The members of the Hindu Jagran Manch who came in a procession kept shaking the gate. They demanded that the police open the gate. The students also gathered at some distance from the gate. According to the members of the Hindu Jagran Manch, on September 27, students at the SRFTI had stepped on and tore the pictures of Bharat Mata and Swami Vivekananda. The members of the organisation said that this procession was in protest of that. I will explain to the students what the power of the nationalists is. Stones and bricks continued to be hurled amid the sloganeering by the students and the members of the Hindu Jagran Manch. The students alleged that the posters of BR Ambedkar hung on the gate were torn. As soon as the members of the Hindu Jagran Mancha reached the gate, they started fighting with the police. The police dragged some of them away. Some members of the Hindu Jagran Manch expressed their anger against the police over this. After the unrest continued for quite some time, the situation has now come under control. Police are still deployed outside the SRFTI gate.
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 4 (IANS) Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor has strongly reacted to her sexually explicit deepfake video doing rounds on the Internet. On Sunday, the actress took to the Stories section of her Instagram, and penned a long note in which she criticised those who made the deepfake video. She lashed out at them for their lack of understanding on the concept of consent, and called the content bordering on sexual assault. She wrote, The criminal misuse of technology to objectify women and circulate fictionalised content without consent is deeply violating, bordering on sexual assault. Almost every woman in my industry has faced some version of this, and women everywhere are increasingly being subjected to it. Consent, choice and respect for a woman's body should be among the most basic notions of humanity. Yet somehow, they continue to be treated as complicated. They are not. It is surprising that it still seems too nuanced for some people to understand that even if a woman says yes five days in a row and no on the sixth, that no must be respected. The clip in question is a doctored clip from her film Devara in which she starred opposite NTR Jr. The actress further mentioned that if a woman happens to wear a miniskirt, it does not give anyone permission to put a camera up her skirt, capture violating angles or visually exploit her body. She continued, What a woman is comfortable with, where she draws the LINE and what she chooses to do with her body are decisions that belong exclusively to her. This is basic. This goes far beyond the AI videos I have dealt with over the last few days, or anything I have personally experienced throughout my career. It is about the larger reality of being a woman, the gaze, the judgement, the constant negotiation for safety, and the feeling that our boundaries somehow remain open to interpretation. She went on, That threat has now expanded into the digital sphere, when we have not even adequately addressed the very real, physical fear that continues to disrupt the lives of women every day. The answer cannot simply be to Protect your daughter. We also need to undo the conditioning that makes people believe they are entitled to violate somebody else's boundaries in the first place. And part of that change will come from exemplary men with the moral compass and the spine to say clearly what is right and what is wrong, she added. The actress expressed her gratitude to her co-actor, NTR Jr for standing up for her. I am deeply touched by ntr sir for taking such a strong stand and condemning this violation. Thank you, sir. When someone whom millions look up to speaks up about something that may not directly concern him, it makes a difference to every woman who has experienced some degree of this behaviour. Thank you also to chiranjeevi sir, Vijay and khushbu ma'am for amplifying that sentiment and calling for action against this mentality and these immoral practices. I hope everything unfolding around us right now forces those who participate in any form of harassment to introspect. Is it really too much for a woman to ask to simply be treated and seen as a human being? Her body. Her image. Her boundaries. Her choice, she added.
Rybakina withdraws from Wuhan Open due to injury after China Open upset
Digital Desk | Wuhan, Oct 4 (IANS) World No. 1 Elena Rybakina has withdrawn from the upcoming Dongfeng Voyah Wuhan Open due to injury, the tournament organisers announced, a day after the Kazakh was knocked out of the China Open by World No. 118 Alina Charaeva. Rybakina, who was beaten by Charaeva in three sets in the second round in Beijing, was scheduled to return to action at the Wuhan Open, where she reached the quarterfinals last year. She is now expected to make her next appearance at the Ningbo 500, where she is the defending champion. Apologising to fans who had been expecting to see her compete in Wuhan, Rybakina said she would take time away from competition to recover. Im very sorry to the fans who were looking forward to seeing me play. Ill take some time to rest and recover. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. See you next year, Rybakina said in an Instagram story. The 2025 US Open champion has been managing a lingering lower-leg and foot injury over the past few months. The issue forced her to retire during her Cincinnati quarterfinal against Iga Swiatek. Rybakina then managed to recover in time to take part in the US Open, where she won her third Grand Slam title; during her campaign in New York she also became World No. 1 and the first singles player to qualify for the WTA Finals in Indian Wells. She pulling out is adding to the increasing number of players who have failed to take part in the Wuhan Open, Amanda Anisimova, Madison Keys, Emma Navarro and Karolina Pliskova having also withdrawn before the tournament. The Wuhan Open will take place from October 12 to 18 and will be the last event of the WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz 1000 in the season. Rybakina will now focus on the Ningbo 500 as she aims to keep in good fitness for the final part of the season.

7 men were accused of sexual assault at Cornell. Here's how the school responded.
Two of the seven men accused of sexually assaulting a Cornell University student at a fraternity house in 2024 were expelled, while others were ordered to take sexual harassment training and write reflection papers, according to university disciplinary records obtained by the New York Times . The records offer the most detailed look yet at how Cornell handled the case, which has drawn national outrage and is now under criminal investigation by New York Attorney General Letitia James. On Friday, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said that a woman who alleges she was drugged and raped by multiple members of a Cornell University fraternity in 2024 was failed by those obligated to protect her. Hochul's comments came a day after announcing she had lost faith in the district attorney overseeing the Cornell University rape case and signed an executive order appointing James as a special prosecutor to lead the investigation. In what world would the police learn from a victim that she'd been literally gang raped while intoxicated by five men in a fraternity house and not elevate those allegations to the district attorney? Hochul said at a press conference with James in New York. In what world does the district attorney not even interview her or anyone else involved or even request the full transcript? At every turn, she was failed by people and institutions with an obligation to protect her, Hochul said. James said that the case is now an active criminal investigation. We will review the facts, gather evidence, interview witnesses and, if warranted, pursue prosecutions, James said, adding: I know that you want answers. I do too. The local district attorney and Cornell both said they support James taking over the case.

AP Photo/Yuki Iwamura Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten has come under intense scrutiny in recent days over his decision not to prosecute anyone when the initial allegations were made in 2024. In a civil lawsuit filed last month against the school and seven current and former fraternity members, a former student identified as Jane Doe alleged that she was the victim of a gang rape at the Chi Phi fraternity on Cornell's Ithaca, N.Y., campus on Oct. 19, 2024. She said she was already intoxicated when she arrived and was given ketamine before and during the alleged assault. She reported the incident to campus police three weeks later. Van Houten said last week that Jane Doe's sworn statement to police didn't include allegations that she was drugged against her will or gang raped. On the contrary, Jane Doe's statement described her participation in drug use and sexual conduct as voluntary, conscious, and consensual, Van Houten said. My office obviously did not and could not have based our November 2024 decision on the allegations in a civil lawsuit that would not be filed until nearly two years later. On Tuesday, CBS New York published excerpts from Jane Doe's Nov. 14, 2024, interview with Cornell police, in which she asserted, I can say with 100% confidence I was raped. Shockingly, those words never made it into the account that the Cornell police sent to prosecutors, Hochul said Friday. Van Houten said he was not provided with a transcript of her interview before his office decided not to pursue charges. I'm going to follow up on this because this is news to me, Van Houten told CBS. If she had said those words, we certainly would want to have explored that more. Like I said, that wasn't provided to me. Records obtained by the New York Times show the district attorney's office declined to look at additional evidence gathered by Cornell police beyond Jane Doe's six-page statement. A Cornell police investigator wrote in a note that prosecutors had already decided, based on that statement, that criminal charges would not be pursued in this case. Van Houten told the Times in an email that the other records were not pertinent to our analysis because we had Jane Doe's comprehensive account of the events. Cornell initially said its police shared all investigatory information with the district attorney's office. The university later revised its statement to say police shared the victim's sworn statement and the Snapchat screenshot, CNN reported . Cornell University Police vehicles are seen on campus on Sept. 29. Reuters / REUTERS According to ABC News , Jane Doe told the school's investigators that she felt like bait on the night of the alleged assault. I felt like lions around me, she said during a 2025 hearing. It just was a totally debilitating place to be in. The comments were included in a 99-page report prepared by the university as part of its Title IX investigation, per ABC. The report also included comments from a fraternity member who Cornell's investigation concluded did not engage in the assault but was found responsible for attempted sexual exploitation. I was sorry that maybe if it wasn't consensual and she was victimized, I was sorry for not stopping it, the fraternity member said, according to ABC. That student, who was allowed to stay at Cornell, has asked a New York court to throw out the disciplinary finding against him, the Associated Press reported . His punishment included a no-contact order, a class on sexual harassment and bystander intervention, and a reflection paper. Two of the men have released statements through their lawyers denying they participated in a sexual assault, according to the Associated Press. Cornell University issued a statement pushing back against claims that the school did not thoroughly punish those involved in the alleged assault. Any suggestion that the university did not impose consequential punishments for those involved is false, the university said. A continuation of the false narrative that there were minimal consequences in this case is irresponsible, will make survivors feel less safe and supported, and will perpetuate the underreporting of sexual assault. Hochul announced on Wednesday that Cornell had agreed to initiate an independent review of its initial response to the allegations. The governor also said she would work to close a loophole in New York law, which states that someone who was voluntarily intoxicated cannot claim they were mentally incapacitated during an assault, unless they can show they were physically helpless and unable to communicate consent. If someone is too intoxicated to consent, it should not matter whether they chose to use drugs or alcohol, Hochul said. Voluntary intoxication is not a license for sexual assault or gang rape. Period. What does the lawsuit allege? The Chi Phi fraternity house at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., is seen on Sept. 28. AP Photo/Heather Ainsworth On Sept. 14, Jane Doe filed a civil lawsuit against Cornell University and seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity, alleging that she was the victim of a gang rape at the fraternity house when she was incapable of consent and that the school failed to protect her from sexual predators on its campus. The defendants named in the lawsuit include Cornell, the seven fraternity members, the Chi Phi fraternity, the woman's own sorority, Delta Delta Delta, and an off-campus bar that allegedly served her alcohol. She is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages resulting from sustained psychological injuries, severe emotional distress, along with pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. According to her lawsuit, Jane Doe was a 20-year-old student at the school in October 2024 when she went to visit a friend at the fraternity house on Cornell's Ithaca, N.Y., campus while intoxicated. Shortly after arriving, Jane Doe alleged that she was pressured by two fraternity brothers into snorting what they said was ketamine before sexually assaulting her. One of the men then allegedly sent a message to the fraternity's Snapchat group suggesting that she was available for sex. A screengrab of part of the chat was included in the lawsuit. According to the complaint, multiple other members of the fraternity showed up, and she was raped for hours. The Snapchat was disgusting and vulgar and immoral, Van Houten told ABC News. But the question that we analyzed was, did Jane Doe consent to what happened? And the law in New York state is clear: That if you are voluntarily intoxicated, or under the influence of drugs such that your judgment is impaired, that does not legally under the penal law constitute your inability to consent. During the alleged assault, the fraternity members began pouring lines of Ketamine all over her body and snorting them, according to the complaint. At around 5:45 AM, this assault concluded and Plaintiff lost consciousness, the lawsuit stated. About three weeks later, on Nov. 8, 2024, Jane Doe reported the incident to the university's police department. According to ABC News , Jane Doe told police in a sworn statement on Nov. 15, 2024, that the incident felt like coercion, and that at one point she said no to the foursome one of the fraternity brothers had proposed. She also stated: I felt like I was unable to make any decision because of how intoxicated I was. According to the New York Times , she told Cornell's Title IX investigators that she did not consider herself a victim until she saw the incident being discussed in an online forum. Are Chi Phi brothers Crips or Bloods because I hear they have been doing hell Gang Banging? one user wrote. They do drugs and gang r*ped a sophomore, wrote another. That's the first time I had ever heard the narrative change that I wasn't a whore and that I was assaulted, Jane Doe told investigators, per the Times. What was Cornell's response? A student walks past a Cornell University sign in Ithaca, N.Y., on Sept. 28. AP Photo/Heather Ainsworth Cornell's months-long Title IX investigation included at least 12 hearings, according to the lawsuit, which said that the accused fraternity members were afforded the opportunity to mitigate their conduct by submitting essays to Cornell. The panel's sanctions varied widely, according to the records obtained by the Times: Two men were expelled. The panel found one responsible for sexual assault, concluding he had manipulated and endangered Jane Doe. The other had been accused of assault and of sending the Snapchat message that drew other fraternity members to the room. Two were suspended, one for two years and one for three semesters, followed by probation. Both were barred from contacting Jane Doe and ordered to complete sexual harassment training and write reflection papers. One, who had already graduated, was barred from campus for three years. Jane Doe had accused him of forcibly kissing her. Two received lighter sanctions: no-contact orders, training on sexual harassment, social media use and bystander intervention, and reflection papers. Cornell has denied that essays were the only punishment for any of the men. All seven deny wrongdoing, and none has been criminally charged. Jane Doe dropped out of school. In a video message Saturday, Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff said the university's board would name an outside law firm this week to review how the school handled the case. He also promised a serious look at fraternities and sororities, the Cornell Daily Sun reported . On Sept. 21, Cornell issued a statement saying that it had concluded its Title IX investigation but would not disclose individual sanctions, citing federal privacy laws. The Cornell Office of Civil Rights and the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards investigated and adjudicated the allegations consistent with university policies. The Xi chapter ofChi Phifraternity remains barred from our campus, the statement said: Federal privacy law prohibits Cornell from disclosing specific information regarding individualstudents and we therefore are unable tomakea public statement on any other disciplinary response.Violations of university policies could lead to sanctions up to and including suspensionor expulsion.We will respondin detailthrough the legal process. The university also pointed out that it launched a task force on campus sexual assault in the wake of the incident and issued a report in March with recommendations for an environment that fosters sexual health and safety. Several of the recommendations have already beenimplemented, while others are in development with oversight by a university implementation committee, Cornell said. According to USA Today , more than 1,200 incidents of sexual assault, domestic and dating violence and stalking were reported to Cornell University's Title IX from 2018 through 2024. Of those, 14 cases resulted in suspensions, while seven ended in expulsion or dismissal, per the paper. Cornell takes each report seriously and, to the greatest extent possible, honors a complainant's decision not to pursue resolution, Rebecca Valli, a Cornell spokesperson, said in a statement to USA Today. The university provides support and resources regardless of whether the respondent is subject to our conduct processes, and regardless of whether a complainant consents to an investigation. Reactions to the allegations Florence Pugh attends an event for Netflix's East of Eden in New York City on Sept. 27. Jason Mendez via Getty Images The harrowing allegations revealed in Jane Doe's lawsuit prompted reactions from several celebrities, including Florence Pugh, who posted a lengthy response on Instagram calling for men to speak out against sexual violence. This is really the moment where we need our men to be as horrified and as sickened as us, Pugh wrote. You need to be leading conversations about how we change the allowance and complicity of this behaviour as much as we are. How can you expect us to trust that it's 'not all men' when in moments like this, many of you stay quiet? In an expletive-laden Instagram post , actor Josh Gad tore into Cornell, seizing on allegations in the civil lawsuit that the fraternity members were required to write essays as part of the adjudication process. When we start setting a precedent that our girls and women can be brutally raped, and the resulting disciplinary action is to hand out (checks notes) ESSAYS (like it's Bart Simpson being a lil' rascal), about why it was wrong to brutally violate an innocent girl, we have lost our f***ing minds, Gad wrote. Toby Morton, a former South Park writer, launched a website, TheCornell7.org , dedicated to holding the school and the accused fraternity members accountable. Accountability is coming, Morton wrote on Instagram . Mariska Hargitay posted a joint statement on Instagram with the Joyful Heart Foundation, which supports survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse, with a quote from a scathing editorial by the Cornell Daily Sun . View this post on Instagram Arrest them, Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams wrote in an Instagram story while sharing a photo of the seven accused men, according to Variety . F*** them and f*** Cornell, too! he added. At a town hall in Ithaca, N.Y., last week, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, said that the culture of rape, sexual assault and pedophilia is protected in elite institutions across the United States, including Cornell. Ocasio-Cortez recalled her own experience as a freshman at Boston University. Within maybe 10 seconds of me walking into a party at a gym, at a school facility someone had touched me inappropriately, Ocasio-Cortez said. Jane Doe, that survivor, lost her education because you can't stay in school when something like that happens to you, Ocasio-Cortez told the crowd . She had to lose her education, and those men were protected by an institution and granted an Ivy League degree as a reward. Never again. The congresswoman said she had a message to Jane Doe and other survivors of sexual assault. I want you to know that you are not defined by the things that have happened to you, Ocasio-Cortez said. You are bigger than that. You are stronger than them. And they will never define you for your entire life. And that you can achieve anything that you want to achieve, from one survivor to another.

Gujarat woman with 1 million Instagram followers held over objectionable Gandhi reel
Digital Desk | Surat, Oct 4 (IANS) A 47-year-old woman with around one million Instagram followers has been arrested by the Surat Cyber Crime Branch for allegedly posting a video in which the photograph of Mahatma Gandhi on a Rs 500 currency note was depicted in an obscene manner and linked to sexually suggestive statements and gestures, police said on Sunday. The accused, identified as Simran Patel, a homemaker residing at Surti Icon in Adajan area of Surat in Gujarat, allegedly created and posted the reel on her Instagram account between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. on October 1. According to the Cyber Crime Branch, the video used the photograph of Mahatma Gandhi on the currency note and combined it with what police described as objectionable and insulting statements and gestures with sexual references. The reel was posted publicly on Instagram, making it accessible to other users. A complaint was subsequently filed by a citizen, following which the Cyber Crime Police Station registered a case under Section 67 of the Information Technology Amendment Act, 2008. Police said the case was investigated on the instructions of Police Commissioner Wabang Jamir, Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime) Dr Karanraj Vaghela and Deputy Commissioner of Police (Cyber Cell) Bishakha Jain. Police Inspector N.R. Patel and his team carried out a technical investigation to identify the person operating the Instagram account and allegedly responsible for creating and publishing the video. The investigation led them to Simran, following which she was arrested, and legal proceedings were initiated. Police said the accused's Instagram account has about one million followers. The Cyber Crime Branch has appealed to people not to circulate reels or posts without verifying their authenticity, particularly material that could lead to social discord. It also urged citizens to inform the nearest police station if they come across fake or objectionable content. Police warned that creating or sharing obscene, objectionable or insulting content involving national figures, religious symbols or social symbols on social media can attract legal action. The Cyber Crime Branch also advised users against violating the law in an attempt to gain followers or likes, and asked them to report objectionable content to the police. The case comes amid increased police attention to objectionable and unlawful content circulated through social media platforms.

100 per cent housing by 2029, says Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu
Digital Desk | Amaravati, Oct 4 (IANS) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday said that his government is committed to providing housing to every poor family and announced that the hundred per cent housing programme will be achieved by 2029. He, along with Union Minister for Rural Development Shivraj Singh Chouhan, laid the foundation for the construction of 3 lakh houses across the state under Pradhan Mantri Awas YojanaGramin (PMAY-G) 2.0 at Burripalem in Guntur district. Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister said the Centre had initially sanctioned only 75,000 houses to Andhra Pradesh under the regular quota. However, following a special request, the Union Government had sanctioned 3 lakh houses. He said Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan had agreed to sanction another 3 lakh houses as soon as the current batch was completed, and an additional 3 lakh houses next year, taking the total allocation to 9 lakh houses. Referring to Burripalem, the Chief Minister said the village was synonymous with legendary actor Superstar Krishna and that it had now also given rise to a political hero in the form of Union Minister Pemmasani Chandrasekhar. He said the coalition government, backed by the people's mandate, was committed to delivering good governance by ensuring that welfare and development reached every section of society. Under the Pattabhishekam initiative, long-pending land disputes had been resolved and house sites distributed to the poor. House sites worth Rs 52,000 crore had been provided in Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, Mangalagiri and other parts of the State. The Chief Minister said the coalition government's agenda was to support every community and every region. Praising Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Chandrababu Naidu described him as a leader dedicated to the welfare of the poor. He recalled Chouhan's contribution to Madhya Pradesh through major river-linking projects. He said Chouhan's close association with the people had earned him the affectionate title of Mama among the people of Madhya Pradesh. Naidu criticised the previous government for mismanaging the housing programme between 2019 and 2024, alleging that 6 lakh houses meant for the poor had been cancelled and that corruption and irregularities had undermined the initiative. He said house sites had been allotted in unsuitable locations, including tanks and hillocks, rendering them unfit for habitation. As a result, nearly 4 lakh beneficiaries had returned their allotted house sites. The Chief Minister said the present government had renewed its commitment to constructing quality houses for the poor. As part of this initiative, 3D concrete printing technology would be introduced on a pilot basis at Burripalem. Houses built using this technology were expected to maintain indoor temperatures at least 8 degrees Celsius lower than the outside temperature, providing greater comfort to residents. He said that after successful completion of 3D technology houses, construction of 5,000 houses will be taken up with the same technology to make Andhra Pradesh a role model in 3D technology housing programme.

Janhvi Kapoor brings Indian craftsmanship to BoF 500 Gala in Paris
Janhvi Kapoor brought Indian craftsmanship to the international fashion spotlight as she attended the BoF 500 Gala in Paris. For the occasion, the actor opted for a custom creation by Pankaj S Heritage, styled by Rhea Kapoor. The ensemble drew from the traditional six-yard silhouette while giving it a contemporary interpretation through its low-slung drape, bare shoulders and floor-skimming pallu. Crafted from 460-count Bengal Muslin, the off-white ensemble highlighted the texture and character of the Indian textile while keeping the overall look understated. The ivory base was paired with intricate handcrafted adornments, featuring gold beads, pearls, shells, emeralds, polkis and tassels. The detailed jewellery was arranged from the shoulder and extended towards the arm, creating a distinctive element against the minimal-toned outfit. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rhea Kapoor (@rheakapoor) The styling brought together elements of traditional Indian design with a more contemporary silhouette, allowing the craftsmanship and textile work to remain central to the look. The choice of Bengal Muslin also added an Indian textile reference to her appearance at the Paris event.

High commands decision final on alliance, says new UP Cong chief amid seat-sharing concerns with SP
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 4 (IANS) Amid the ongoing seat-sharing deadlock between Congress and the Samajwadi Party (SP) in Uttar Pradesh ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections, newly appointed state Congress president Aradhana Mishra has said the decision regarding the alliance will be taken by the party's high command. Mishra stressed that the INDIA bloc was formed at the national level and decisions concerning the alliance, whether at the state or central level, would be taken by the national leadership. I would like to reiterate that the INDI Alliance does not form alliances at the state level; it is formed at the national level. The national leaders of all the parties that are part of the alliance came together on one platform to form this alliance. Whatever decisions are taken, whether for the states or at the Centre, regarding the alliance will be decided by the national leadership, she told IANS. Her remarks come amid uncertainty over seat-sharing arrangements between Congress and the SP in Uttar Pradesh, where both parties are part of the INDIA bloc and are expected to coordinate their strategy against the BJP in the 2027 Assembly polls. Mishra said the Congress remained committed to the alliance, Congress stands with everyone. We have upheld the principles of alliance politics, and we will continue to do so. I would like to say that our goal today is to remove the corrupt and unsuccessful Bharatiya Janata Party government in 2027 and form an alliance government, she said. The UP Congress chief also spoke about Congress leader Rahul Gandhis Satyagraha portal, drawing a parallel with Mahatma Gandhis Satyagraha against British rule. Satyagraha was started by Mahatma Gandhi against the British. It was a movement that united the country. Today, another Gandhi has started this movement, and the circumstances are the same. Today, the countrys democracy and Constitution are under threat. The way Rahul Gandhis Satyagraha movement is gaining popularity makes it clear that things Rahul Gandhi said earlier, which people did not accept at the time, are now being understood, and people are relating to his views... Mishra said. She also reiterated Congress demand concerning the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, alleging that the exercise had led to the deletion of a large number of names from voter lists. A resolution to this effect was passed by our highest body, the CWC, and we demand that the process be stopped immediately. In the name of SIR, a large number of names have been deleted from the voter lists, affecting the election process. This happened when two members of the three-member Election Commission made serious allegations against their own Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar, she said. Mishras comments come as Congress seeks to strengthen its organisation in Uttar Pradesh while maintaining the broader opposition alliance ahead of the crucial 2027 Assembly elections.

Left parties turn to social media to reach voters in TN bypolls
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 4 (IANS) Candidate-focused social media pages, WhatsApp groups, and dedicated channels are shaping the Left parties outreach in Tamil Nadu's Madurantakam and Dharapuram, where the CPI and CPI(M) are using digital platforms to connect with voters ahead of the Assembly bypolls. Having largely contested elections within alliances, the parties are drawing on their cadre networks to circulate campaign updates, present their candidates views and bring attention to local issues flagged by voters. Party functionaries said workers and supporters are sharing the material voluntarily through WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram. The campaigns do not involve paid promotions or bulk SMS messaging, they added. The CPI(M)s Madurantakam campaign alone has established over 100 WhatsApp groups. S. Kannan, the partys campaign in-charge, said each brings together roughly 30 party members and 300-500 voters drawn from the locality concerned. The groups provide an avenue for circulating campaign messages among voters while helping party workers coordinate their activities across different parts of the constituency. The CPI(M) has also established a dedicated WhatsApp channel and separate Facebook and Instagram pages for the bypoll, said Suthir, the partys state social media in-charge. Its social media pages carry the title Vote for Suganthi, placing the Madurantakam candidate at the centre of the partys online campaign. The platforms are being used to share her positions and the partys views on public issues. To connect its printed publicity material with its digital campaign, the CPI(M) has included QR codes on pamphlets distributed to voters. Scanning the codes enables residents to follow campaign updates and access the partys views through its online platforms. In Dharapuram, the CPI has organised its digital outreach by dividing the constituency into three parts. It has created a WhatsApp channel for each section under the title Dharapuram Idathu Pakkam, which party members translate as Dharapuram is for the Left. Around 100 WhatsApp groups have also been formed in the constituency, giving the party an additional network for distributing messages and coordinating campaign work. Across both constituencies, the approach combines party organisation with digital communication. Cadres circulate material through groups, while dedicated channels and social media pages allow voters to follow the campaign. The two parties are extending their outreach through platforms already used by voters, with supporters carrying their messages into networks as campaigning continues in Madurantakam and Dharapuram.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mona Singh (@monajsingh) As per reports, the film is directed by Vikas Bahl and features an ensemble cast of Indian and international actors, musicians and performers. The story is reportedly set in Britain in the early 1990s and explores the period when the UK Punjabi music movement was beginning to take shape. The film is set against a time when a generation growing up between cultures was finding its voice through music and performance.

Literature in the Age of the Algorithm
For centuries, literature has been understood as one of the most intimate expressions of human consciousness. A poem emerged from memory, imagination or grief; a story grew out of observation and experience; a novel carried within it the accumulated impressions of a particular mind. Even when writers borrowed from tradition, imitated earlier forms or drew upon collective myths, literature remained closely associated with the human act of creating meaning. The writer was not merely arranging words but transforming experience into language. Today, that long-standing relationship between the human mind and the written word is being unsettled by an unexpected participant: the algorithm. Artificial intelligence can now produce poems, stories, essays, dialogues and other forms of literary language within seconds. It can imitate styles, alter tone, generate metaphors, continue unfinished narratives and respond to instructions with remarkable fluency. At first glance, this may seem like another technological development in the long history of writing. But something more fundamental is taking place. When a machine can produce language that resembles literature, we are compelled to ask questions that literature itself has long avoided: What makes a piece of writing creative? Does literature require a human consciousness behind it? Is originality a matter of invention, or can it exist through the unexpected combination of existing language? And if a machine can produce a beautiful sentence, where exactly does the beauty belong? The algorithm does not experience the world as a human writer does. It does not remember childhood, feel homesickness, grieve for a parent or stand before a landscape carrying memories of another time. Yet it can generate language about all these things. This distinction is crucial. Human literature has traditionally drawn its force from the relationship between language and lived experience. A poem about loss acquires depth because someone has known loss, imagined it or encountered it closely enough to give it emotional form. Machine-generated language can describe grief with extraordinary fluency without having suffered grief. It can reproduce the language of sorrow without possessing sorrow itself. This does not necessarily make machine-generated writing meaningless. Language has always exceeded the individual who uses it. Every writer inherits words, metaphors, genres, rhythms and narrative conventions from earlier writers. No literary work is created in complete isolation. The originality of a writer lies partly in the way inherited language is reorganised through a particular consciousness. Artificial intelligence complicates this idea because it can reorganise enormous quantities of linguistic material at extraordinary speed. It therefore raises a difficult question: if human creativity has always involved transformation rather than creation from nothing, how different is machine transformation from the creative process? The answer may lie in intention. A human writer usually begins with something that precedes the sentence: an experience, an obsession, a question, an image, a memory or an emotional necessity. The writing becomes an attempt to understand or express that inner pressure. The algorithm, by contrast, does not possess an independent desire to write. It responds to prompts and patterns. Its language may be coherent, moving or aesthetically accomplished, but the impulse behind it originates elsewhere. The distinction between generating language and needing to say something may therefore become increasingly important in the age of artificial intelligence. Yet even this distinction may not remain simple. Human writers are already using AI as a collaborator, editor, brainstorming partner and experimental instrument. A writer may ask a machine to suggest possibilities, reshape a paragraph, produce alternative structures or challenge an established approach. In such cases, the machine does not necessarily replace the writer; it becomes part of the writing environment. The old image of the solitary author sitting before a blank page gives way to a more complicated picture in which creativity emerges through interaction between human intention and technological assistance. This transformation inevitably affects the idea of authorship. Traditionally, authorship has implied a relatively clear relationship between a person and a text. We know who wrote the novel, who composed the poem and who stands behind the work. With AI-assisted writing, that relationship can become uncertain. If a writer supplies the idea, the machine produces several passages, the writer selects and edits them, and another editor reshapes the final manuscript, where exactly does authorship reside? The question is not merely legal or commercial. It is literary. We are being forced to reconsider whether authorship is located in the words themselves, in the intention behind them, or in the consciousness that ultimately takes responsibility for the work. The question of originality becomes equally complicated. The algorithm works through patterns derived from existing language. But human writers also inherit and transform what came before them. Shakespeare borrowed plots. Modern novelists reshape myths. Poets continually reinvent familiar images. Literary history is, in part, a history of transformation. What distinguishes human creativity may therefore not be absolute originality but the capacity to make inherited material personally and culturally meaningful. This is where the human writer may retain something difficult for a machine to reproduce: the weight of a particular life. Two writers may describe the same rain, but the rain falling on a refugee, a farmer, a child remembering a lost home, or an elderly person watching from a hospital window does not carry the same meaning. Experience changes language because experience changes the person using it. The algorithm can produce many descriptions of rain, but it does not possess a life in which rain has acquired personal significance. At the same time, the algorithm is beginning to change the reader's relationship with literature. If stories and poems can be generated instantly according to individual preferences, literature could become increasingly personalised. A reader might ask for a story with a particular setting, emotional atmosphere, length and style and receive it immediately. This promises extraordinary creative possibilities, but it also raises an unsettling question: what happens when literature becomes perfectly responsive to our preferences? Part of the value of literature has always been its ability to surprise us, to introduce voices and experiences we did not know we wanted. A literary culture built entirely around personalised generation could risk becoming an echo of the reader rather than an encounter with something genuinely other. The algorithm may therefore challenge not only the writer but the reader. Reading has traditionally involved entering a world someone else has made. It requires surrendering some control. AI-generated literature may encourage us to become consumers who continuously adjust the story to suit ourselves. The distinction between reading and directing could gradually become blurred. Yet the future need not be a choice between human literature and machine literature. New technologies have repeatedly altered literary forms without eliminating the human need for storytelling. The printing press changed the scale of reading; photography altered visual culture; cinema transformed narrative; digital publishing changed the relationship between writers and audiences. Artificial intelligence may likewise produce new forms that we cannot yet fully imagine. What it cannot settle for us is the question of why we tell stories in the first place. We write because something in experience resists silence. We tell stories to preserve memory, understand suffering, imagine other lives and give shape to what would otherwise remain confused within us. The deepest purpose of literature is not the production of sentences. It is the creation of meaning. Technology can increasingly assist with the first, but the second remains bound to questions of human value, memory and experience. Perhaps, then, the arrival of the algorithm should make us look more closely at what we have always meant by creativity. The future of literature may not depend upon protecting every sentence from machines. It may depend upon recognising what cannot be reduced to the sentence itself: the life behind it, the intention that gives it urgency, the memory that gives it resonance and the consciousness that takes responsibility for what has been said. The algorithm can generate language at astonishing speed. Literature, however, has never been merely the art of producing language. It is the art of making language matter. And that distinction may prove to be the most important one in the literary age that is now beginning. (The author is RK columnist and can be reached at: sanjaypanditasp@gmail.com )
