Producer Anubhav Sinha has spoken about the need for filmmakers to continue telling stories about Mahatma Gandhi and other freedom fighters. His upcoming film, directed by Sudhir Mishra and starring Manoj Bajpayee as Gandhi, explores a lesser-known 21-day period around Indias independence. The theatrical project brings together Sinha and Mishra for a story set during a crucial period in Indias history. Manoj Bajpayee plays Mahatma Gandhi, while Saurabh Shukla also features in a key role. The film focuses on the period around independence when Gandhi moved away from the political centre in Delhi and spent time reflecting on his role and journey. Produced by Anubhav Sinha under Benaras Media Works along with Narendra Hirawat and presented by NH Studioz, the film explores a relatively lesser-known chapter from Gandhis life. The project also features veteran actor Waheeda Rehman, who is returning to the big screen after eight years. Speaking about the importance of bringing stories about national figures to audiences, Sinha said, I believe there should be one or two films made on Gandhi every year for the next 100 years. It is our responsibility as filmmakers to keep bringing the stories of our freedom fighters to audiences. They played the most significant part in the making of the India we know today the India we live in, celebrate and proudly chant about. The filmmaker's comments highlight his view that cinema can play a role in keeping stories of India's freedom struggle accessible to newer generations. The upcoming film attempts to look at Gandhi beyond the commonly documented aspects of his public and political life, focusing instead on a specific period during the transition to independence. Directed by Sudhir Mishra, the film stars Manoj Bajpayee and Saurabh Shukla in key roles, with Waheeda Rehman also joining the cast. The project is produced by Anubhav Sinha and Narendra Hirawat under A Benaras Mediaworks production and presented by NH Studioz.

Netflixs The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 5 takes a spooky turn as the cast of The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest Sidharth Malhotra, Tamannaah Bhatia, Shweta Tiwari, Anup Soni and Maniesh Paul join Kapil Sharma for an evening of ghost stories, conversations, confessions and comedy. The episode airs tonight at 8:00 PM and brings the cast together for a mix of paranormal anecdotes and light-hearted banter. During the episode, Kapil asks the guests whether they have ever experienced any paranormal activity. Tamannaah Bhatia says that she is more afraid of humans than ghosts, while Shweta Tiwari shares that she has never believed in spirits, despite hearing several stories from people who claim to have communicated with them. Kapil responds with a joke, pointing out that such people appear to have direct access to spirits but cannot always help people communicate with each other. Sidharth Malhotra also talks about his childhood in Delhi and recalls how several neighbourhoods had stories surrounding supposedly haunted houses. He remembers hearing about a house near the place where he used to play hide-and-seek, with stories of strange noises and unexplained incidents that frightened the children. Maniesh Paul, meanwhile, admits that he is genuinely scared of ghosts and says that he sleeps with the lights on. He also shares a story involving his daughter, who, when she was younger, repeatedly claimed that there was an aunty sitting in the room with them. The anecdote becomes another source of humour during the conversation. The episode also features a musical segment, with Sidharth and Tamannaah dancing to Thumak Thumak, bringing a part of The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest to Kapil Sharmas stage. With conversations around haunted houses, paranormal experiences, music and comedy, the latest episode continues the format of The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 5.

India has maintained high level of growth amid global uncertainty: PK Mishra
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 3 (IANS) India has maintained a high level of growth amid global uncertainty due to sound macroeconomic fundamentals, and investing in resilience is economically rational, P.K. Mishra, Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister, said here on Saturday. Speaking to the media on the sidelines of the 5th Kautilya Economic Conclave ', Mishra said, I think the subject of the conference is totally different. I was speaking about resilience, and that it also costs. It has a cost, but how much does it cost? And in the current context, where the uncertainty is because of the global development, how is India able to cope with all this, and how has it successfully faced the pandemic and other crises? India has also maintained a high level of growth and maintained macroeconomic fundamentals, he noted. According to the Principal Secretary, Indias main strength is macroeconomic fundamentals, which are very strong. We have been able to diversify our supply chain. We have also been able to have wider trade relationships, more FTAs, and more trade relationships. So, we're also trying to increase our manufacturing capability. So, in that sense, we would like to continue to be open, at the same time, you know, less vulnerable. So, we would like to avoid vulnerability, at the same time, remain open to the world, he said. The top bureaucrat said that economic decisions are taken not fully knowing what the results will be. Theres always an element of risk. According to him, the globe is increasingly confronted not just with risk but also uncertainty. The distinction is now in sharp focus between risk-taking and uncertainty, he noted. Referring to the Strait of Hormuz crisis, Mishra said that choke points become sources of vulnerability and that tariffs sometimes become instruments of weaponisation. The energy transition is being repriced along with everything else. Other restrictions are being increasingly used for strategic purposes. The question is not whether globalisation has ended, but how do we preserve the gains while making economies less vulnerable to shocks and concentration? he said. Indias electronics sector is a good example. The same is visible in the pharma and semiconductor sectors, he added.

The Small Bow of Michhami Dukkadam
By Suvir Saran When I was ten, my best friend and classmate was Mohit Jain Dhoomimal. We were boys together at Modern School, Vasant Vihar, in Delhi. Today Mohit is the third-generation proprietor of Dhoomimal Art Centre in Connaught Place, the first art gallery in India. But my first encounter with Jain tradition came through the boy beside me in class, and a phrase that seemed to hold an entire philosophy in a few soft syllables. Jainism was not only a faith one practised in a temple or a discipline visible in what one ate. Once each year, it asked a person to turn towards another and seek forgiveness. The phrase was Michhami Dukkadam. I did not then know its layers, its place in the Jain calendar, or the long work of self-examination that gives it weight. I knew the sound of it, and the tenderness with which it was offered. It has stayed with me, as childhood things do: not always understood at first, but quietly waiting for the life that will make them legible. A message from Jayen...

Piyush Goyal highlights India's growing strengths as global hub for talent, innovation
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 3 (IANS) Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Saturday said he highlighted India's growing strengths as a global hub for talent, innovation and business services, and the potential for deeper India-US business partnerships. During his US visit, the minister met several global leaders and CEOs. Met Greg Case, CEO of Aon, and discussed the company's operations in India and the opportunities for further expansion, Goyal posted on social media platform X. He also met Paul Grewal, Chief Legal and Global Affairs Officer at Cognition, and exchanged views on leveraging Cognitions pioneering AI solutions and deepening its presence in India. Highlighted how Indias rich engineering ecosystem and dynamic startup culture provide a strong launchpad for building and deploying next-generation technologies for the world, said Goyal. During an engaging interaction with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) leadership and members from Chicago, Michigan, and Ohio Chapters, the minister discussed the expanding opportunities in the India-US economic partnership and highlighted how Indias economic momentum, marked by record FDI inflows and strong GDP growth, reflects PM Narendra Modis vision of a confident, self-reliant and globally competitive India. Chartered Accountants have a pivotal role in strengthening this partnership by helping businesses navigate cross-border taxation, regulatory compliance and financial governance, while making Indian enterprises investment-ready for global capital, the minister noted. Goyal also delivered the keynote address at the USIBC Roundtable in Chicago. Discussed venture investment, commercialisation, and corporate partnerships to help Indian and US startups scale across markets.

He met Juan Ricardo Luciano, Chair of the Board and CEO of Archer Daniels Midland (ADM). They discussed avenues to expand ADMs presence and investment opportunities in India. With our rapidly expanding food processing sector, modernising agricultural value chains, and massive consumer base, India offers tremendous potential for sustainable growth and long-term collaboration, said Goyal.
US diesel export ban could push UK inflation near 5 pc: Reports
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 3 (IANS) A US ban on diesel exports could push British inflation to nearly 5 per cent, economists warned, after average pump prices topped 2 pounds per litre ($2.7) for the first time. Forecasters said a prolonged ban could push prices to 3 pounds and add as much as one percentage point to UK inflation, strengthening the case for Bank of England interest-rate hikes, according to multiple reports. The warnings followed reports that Group of Seven countries (G7) plan to release up to 100 million barrels of diesel and oil over the next four months to ease market strains, sending European diesel and Brent crude futures lower. The US administration has indicated the possibility of an export ban unless European nations release stockpiles to control prices. An export ban would hit the UK hard because of its heavy reliance on imports, the reports said. British motoring organisation the RAC was quoted as saying that average diesel prices crossed 2 pounds per litre for the first time, meaning filling up a 55-litre tank would cost 32 pounds more than before the Middle East conflict began. Disruption to diesel supply could be problematic as demand from trains and trucks is unlikely to fall enough in response to supply. Thomas Pugh, chief economist at RSM UK, said a prolonged US diesel ban could push UK inflation by 0.5 per cent, which includes indirect effects from a price surge filtering down supply chains to consumers rapidly. Pugh said the UK would find it hard to adjust to losing 20 per cent of diesel overnight especially as diesel is used in all industry and trucking, adding that firms couldnt help passing that through to the customer. Consumers and businesses are set to face a dire scenario in the coming winter, with gas and electricity bills forecast to surge in January 2027 and push inflation above 4 per cent. BOE officials also fear the supersized El Nio could lead to a fresh wave of food inflation if it disrupts global weather patterns and harvests of key crops.
flydubai co-pilot Hamam Al Hamami was barred from flying in Oman over extremist concerns: Report
Digital Desk | New Delhi/Washington, Oct 3 (IANS) The flydubai co-pilot, identified as Hamam Al Hamami, accused of attempting to sabotage a Dubai-Tel Aviv flight and attacking Indian Captain Smit Machchhar, had reportedly been barred from flying in his country Oman over concerns that he had adopted extremist views, according to media reports. Al Hamami is an Omani citizen who was born in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to an Omani father and a Syrian mother. According to reports, Al Hamami spent much of his time outside Oman, particularly in Syria, where he was allegedly influenced by extremist ideas before subsequently travelling to the UAE. Al Hamami was working as a co-pilot trainee with Oman Air in 2024 when he was allegedly found in possession of extremist material. He was reportedly permitted to continue working with the airline in an administrative capacity, but was barred from flying after being identified as a security risk. Despite the reported flying restriction in Oman, Al Hamami was later hired by flydubai, the Dubai-based airline, enabling him to operate flights on the sensitive route connecting the UAE and Israel. Questions over how he was cleared to fly have emerged as investigations into the incident continue. The UAE has ordered an investigation to establish the circumstances and determine whether the incident was connected to terrorist activity, prior planning or direction. Reports have also suggested that Al Hamami intended to crash the flydubai aircraft in Israel. However, investigations into the motive and circumstances surrounding the incident are continuing. Al Hamami had worked for flydubai for only about eight months, CNN reported. A now-deleted LinkedIn profile bearing the name Hamam Al Hammami reportedly stated that he had worked with Oman Air for seven years and left the airline in February 2025. He subsequently joined Royal Air Maroc in June 2025 and left the airline in January this year before taking up employment with flydubai, according to reports. The deleted profile reportedly made two posts within around nine hours of the flydubai incident, both of which were terror-related. One of the posts reportedly contained a series of clips filmed inside the cockpits of a Boeing 737 Max aircraft, with the person recording the footage zooming in on an aircraft belonging to Israeli airline El Al. The video reportedly ended with an image of Ayman al-Zawahiri, the al-Qaeda leader who succeeded Osama Bin Laden, along with a photograph of Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, who killed nine people in a 2009 suicide bombing targeting US personnel. Another post reportedly featured an AI-generated image depicting Islam's three holiest sites in Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem. According to CNN, a poem in the background referred to rejecting humiliation, not fearing death and defending one's dignity. A separate CNN report said Al Hamami's now-deleted X account portrayed him as deeply religious and misogynistic. Other media reports have also cited a former colleague describing him as a religious extremist, although investigations into his motives and background remain ongoing. The flydubai flight was heading from Dubai to Israel's Tel Aviv on September 30 when the co-pilot tried to sabotage the aircraft and stabbed Captain Smit Machchhar, who was trying to prevent him from doing so. At the time, the Boeing 737, cruising at about 34,000 feet, began dropping at roughly 23,000 feet per minute before reaching about 15,600 feet. However, Machchhar fought the co-pilot, resisted him, and opened the cockpit door so that passengers and crew members could overpower him. The flight made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia's Tabuk with the help of two other pilots who were on the flight at that time. Meanwhile, UAE Attorney-General Hamad Saif Al Shamsi has ordered the formation of an investigation team to probe the incident, including any possible connection to terrorist activity or intent. The team, comprising specialised members of the Public Prosecution, will investigate the circumstances and causes of the incident, according to the statement released by the UAE's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The UAE appreciated Saudi Arabian authorities for their cooperation and handling of the incident.

PMEGP empowers 8.12 lakh micro entrepreneurs with Rs 24,398 crore financial assistance
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 3 (IANS) Nearly 8.12 lakh micro entrepreneurs have been assisted with margin money (MM) subsidy to the tune of Rs 24,398.61 crore since FY2014-15 under the Prime Ministers Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP) for creating sustainable employment opportunities to 73.08 lakh people, according to the government. PMEGP, a flagship initiative of the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) and implemented by the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC), plays a crucial role in promoting self-employment by enabling the establishment of new micro-enterprises in the non-farm sector, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas. Under the scheme, prospective entrepreneurs are provided with financial assistance in the form of Margin Money (MM) subsidy on bank-sanctioned loans providing much needed impetus to enterprise creation. The programme is transforming the aspirations of ordinary individuals into successful enterprises by providing easy access to credit supported by MM subsidy. It enables first-generation entrepreneurs to establish viable businesses, turning job seekers into job creators. The success of PMEGP is best reflected in the inspiring journeys of its beneficiaries, who have transformed their entrepreneurial aspirations into thriving enterprises. Founded by Pooja Sharma in Parwanoo, Himachal Pradesh, Skinkaanti Ayurveda exemplifies remarkable growth from a modest micro-enterprise into Indias largest handmade soap manufacturing unit. Established with a project cost of Rs 25 lakh and supported by State Bank of India, the enterprise today records an impressive annual turnover of Rs 30 crore and provides employment to 300 individuals, of which 95 per cent are women. By blending Ayurvedic principles with modern scientific techniques, the unit has achieved significant technological breakthroughs, including improved manufacturing efficiency and cost reduction, while supplying products across India through diverse retail and institutional channels, said the ministry. Established by Surender Pal Singh Nagi in Mohali, Punjab, Ess Pee Quality Products has evolved into a globally competitive food processing enterprise. With an initial project cost of Rs 21 lakh financed by Bank of Baroda, the unit has grown into a Rs 38 crore turnover business, generating employment for around 130 individuals. The enterprise manufactures honey, cookies, and fruit jams, and exports to 26 countries, including the US, Australia, and France.

Piyush Goyal calls diaspora living bridge with US
Digital Desk | Washington, Oct 3 (IANS) Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has described Indian-Americans as a living bridge between India and the United States, urging them to remain committed to their adopted country while retaining a place in their hearts for their motherland. Addressing members of the Indian community in the Chicago area after paying tribute to Mahatma Gandhi, Goyal said their contribution to American society also helped bring the two countries closer. Each one of you are the living bridge between the United States and India. Each one of you is an ambassador of India to the United States, Goyal said. He thanked Indian-Americans for their contributions to the United States and urged them to remain loyal to the country that had given them opportunities, prosperity and a future. Be loyal to it, be honest to it, work hard for your nation, he said. But always keep in your mind, in your heart, a little place for your mother and for all the people. Goyals remarks came during a day in Chicago in which he visited sites associated with two of Indias most recognised figures Mahatma Gandhi and Swami Vivekananda. On Gandhi Jayanti, the minister paid floral tributes at the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Sculpture in Skokie, Illinois. Mahatma Gandhi ji's timeless ideals of non-violence, simplicity and truth, deeply rooted in India's civilisational ethos, continue to guide and inspire humanity across generations, Goyal said in a post on X. Speaking to the community, Goyal recalled Gandhis emphasis on non-violence, equality and concern for marginalised sections of society. He also invoked the influence of Gandhis ideas in the United States. The statue today in Chicago in a way also gives us a deep message that while India may be thousands of miles away from here, the ideas that left behind are living in all of you in Chicago, he said. Goyal also offered a strong assurance of Indias support to Indians living overseas, saying New Delhi remained attentive when its citizens faced crises abroad. We back home are watching your back. We care for you and you will always have us as a support, he said, citing crises in Yemen, Ukraine and elsewhere. Your nation, your motherland will always stand by you, will be there for you, for your families, for your children. Earlier, Goyal visited Fullerton Hall at the Art Institute of Chicago, associated with Swami Vivekanandas historic appearance at the Worlds Parliament of Religions in 1893. At the place that once echoed with thunderous applause for Swami Vivekananda ji, Goyal wrote on X, saying Vivekananda had shared Indias ethos of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam with the world through his address on September 11, 1893. May Swami Vivekanand ji's timeless message of universal brotherhood and spiritual wisdom continue to guide us, he said. Goyal later paid floral tributes to Vivekananda at the Consulate General of India in Chicago. In his remarks, the minister said Vivekanandas ideas continued to inspire Indians and the diaspora. He described the monk as a young Indian who arrived in the United States proud of his heritage, traditions and culture, and used the Chicago platform to speak about Hinduism and the unity of different faiths.

Two defendants exit Mehta defamation case
Srinagar, Oct 02: Two defendants have been deleted from a defamation suit filed by former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Secretary Arun Kumar Mehta after the plaintiff told the Delhi High Court that they had published apologies over the article in question, while three other defendants, including The Wire, continue to contest the case. In an order passed on September 30 in CS(OS) 859/2025, Arun Kumar Mehta v. Ashok Kumar Ranchhodbhai Parmar & Ors., Justice Manoj Jain recorded that counsel for Mehta submitted that Defendant Nos. 3 and 5 had already realized their mistake and published apologies in relation to the article. Mehta, who was present in person, also confirmed that he no longer wished to pursue the proceedings against them. The court consequently ordered that Defendant Nos. 3 and 5 be deleted from the array of parties and directed the filing of an amended memo of parties. The development leaves Ashok Kumar Ranchhodbhai Parmar, The Wire and The Kashmiriyat as the remaining defendants in the proceedings. The September 30 order, however, does not adjudicate on the truth or falsity of the allegations contained in the publications. Nor does it record a finding that the allegations were defamatory. The deletion of the two defendants followed the plaintiffs decision to discontinue the proceedings against them after their apologies were placed on record. The court also dealt with applications filed by Defendant Nos. 1, 2 and 4 seeking condonation of delay in filing their written statements. Mehtas counsel told the court that although the written statements had been filed belatedly, the plaintiff would have no objection to their being taken on record since they were within the outer permissible limit of 120 days, subject to costs. The court accepted the concession and directed that the written statements be taken on record, imposing costs of 10,000 each on the three defendants, payable to the plaintiff within four weeks. The pleadings of Defendant No. 1, Ashok Kumar Ranchhodbhai Parmar, contain repeated denials that he defamed Mehta or played any role in the media publications that are the subject of the suit. According to the written-statement material supplied for the proceedings, Parmar has denied that his letters were defamatory and has put the plaintiff to strict proof of any alleged defamation or injury attributable to him. He has also denied making false or malicious allegations and said he did not broadcast or proliferate the material through media or social-media platforms. Parmar has further denied leaking or supplying complaint letters to media organisations, including The Kashmiriyat, The Tribune, The Hindu and The Wire, and has said that any media access to the material was not attributable to him. He has also denied initiating any defamatory campaign, leaking documents or republishing defamatory material. The written statement also contains specific denials concerning publications in The Wire and Kashmir Life, with Parmar stating that he had no role in their publication, framing or content and had no communication or influence with the media defendants. In relation to another The Wire article, the pleading denies any collusion or role with the author and says there was no prompting, supply of material or influence. The defence repeatedly states that Parmars communications were confined to official complaints and tribunal filings and did not constitute defamation. It also describes the communications as bona fide official reporting and denies responsibility for third-party media content. In its later portions, the written statement contains broader denials covering the publications of Defendants Nos. 2 to 5. Parmar is stated to have denied authoring, contributing to, prompting, supplying or coordinating with the media outlets and to have denied any direct or indirect role in posting, sharing, amplification, dissemination, republication or narrative framing by them. The defence also expressly denies any defamatory crusade or collusion with the media defendants and says Parmar had no involvement, direct or indirect, with the media platforms. Under the grounds headed No Defamation, the written statement says: No defamation occurred. Statements were truthful, good-faith disclosures to authorities. It also denies any role in media publications and states that no defamatory material was published by Defendant No. 1. A separate sur-rejoinder filed by Parmar also reiterates his denial of having alleged personal enrichment by Mehta or having caused any media publication. The document identifies as a central theme Parmars position that he had never alleged personal enrichment, a bank trail or a proxy asset of the plaintiff. It further states that he never made or caused publication of an allegation that Mehta had personally enriched himself through abuse of office. The sur-rejoinder also says there was no reference to Mehta by name in certain social-media posts and therefore, according to Parmars defence, no identifiable person and no defamation. It repeatedly denies any media publication by him and says there is no document showing that he published the material in the media. Parmar further disputes any continuing defamation or reputational harm attributable to him and asserts that there was no media leakage from his side. The same position is repeated in his supporting affidavit, where he states that he had never alleged personal enrichment of Mehta and had never leaked any communication to the media. These are pleaded positions of Defendant No. 1, rather than findings by the High Court. The court's September 30 order did not decide the merits of those claims. The plaintiff's side has nevertheless indicated that the litigation could end against the remaining defendants if they adopt a position similar to that of the two defendants who have apologised. Learned counsel for plaintiff also submits that if similar kind of apology is given by other defendants, plaintiff would withdraw his case, the High Court order records. Defendant No. 4 sought time to consider the proposal. Advocate Vasudev Sharan Swain, representing Mehta, said the plaintiff would continue to pursue the proceedings against those defendants who chose to contest the allegations. The apologies are not a courtesy. They are an admission. Those who repeated the allegations have now accepted they were wrong. The Wire, the original publisher that was quoted by other platforms, cannot hide behind others. It remains a contesting defendant and will now face trial on the merits. We will pursue this to the end, Swain said. The court order itself does not say that The Wire has been directed to face a trial, nor does it determine that the publications were false or defamatory. It records that The Wire remains a defendant and that its written statement has been taken on record. The plaintiff has also called for corrections by media platforms that carried the allegations, with Swain arguing that any correction should receive prominence comparable to that given to the original publication. You cannot destroy a reputation with a headline and then bury the apology in a footnote. The damage must be undone. The truth must be published as loudly as the lie, Swain said. The accompanying material submitted on behalf of Mehta says the suit concerns publications carrying allegations relating to corruption, abuse of office and alleged public wrongdoing. Those assertions form part of the plaintiffs case and have not been adjudicated upon in the September 30 order. With the two defendants now out of the proceedings, the contest continues between Mehta and Defendant Nos. 1, 2 and 4. Their written statements are on record, and their respective positions will be considered as the suit progresses. The matter has been listed before the Delhi High Court for further consideration on December 15, 2026.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 3 (IANS) Hockey India president Dilip Tirkey described India's women's hockey gold at the Asian Games as a 'perfect game' and praised the team's defensive resilience in their 1-0 victory over China, which ended a 44-year wait for the continental title and secured qualification for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. India last won the women's hockey gold at the Asian Games in 1982 in New Delhi. Lalremsiami's 10th-minute goal proved decisive in Friday's final, while Savita Punia produced a crucial penalty-stroke save to preserve India's lead against a relentless Chinese attack. As you said, after 44 years, the women's hockey team has won a gold medal. For the first time in 1982, the women's team won a gold medal in New Delhi. Since then, the women's hockey team has created a great history, Tirkey told IANS. Tirkey said the women's team has continued to raise its level despite traditionally attracting less attention than the men's side. Normally, we expect a lot from men's hockey. All our hockey lovers and sports lovers. But we don't expect a lot from women. The women's team is playing very well. They have played in the Asian Games. Before that, they have played in the World Cup. Excellent game, he said. India's final against China was particularly demanding, with the defending champions controlling large periods of possession and creating repeated opportunities. Tirkey said India showed composure against one of the strongest teams in the world. I have also seen the final match. It was a perfect game. China is one of the best teams in the world. They have also been the champion team of the Asian Games. In 2024, they were the silver medalists in the Paris Olympics, and we scored against them in just 10 minutes and then defended for 50 minutes, he said. They have strengthened the defence until the end and were in a very strong position in defence. India was playing as a team, he added. Savita's penalty-stroke save came at a critical stage of the match and allowed India to retain their one-goal cushion. Tirkey felt the goalkeeper's intervention gave the team further belief to see out the contest. I have also seen that China got a stroke. Savita Punia has stopped it by diving to the left side. She has put confidence in the team. It was a very interesting match, he said. India's gold also came after a challenging period for the squad, with Tirkey revealing that injuries had affected a large number of players earlier this year. I am happy that the women's team's performance is improving day by day. Especially the young girls have shown excellent hockey, he said. In the last 6-7 months, the team's performance has improved a lot. We were very worried. 13-14 players were injured 6-7 months ago. They were suffering from injuries. We recovered very fast, Tirkey added. Tirkey also credited the Hockey India League with helping players develop through high-level competition. The women's competition returned alongside the men's tournament, giving Indian players another platform to compete and gain experience. HIL has been organising the Hockey India League for two years. We have seen the impact of it. HIL is one of the best leagues in the world. Men's or women's. They have also benefited from the Hockey India League, he said. India's Olympic qualification was another major takeaway from the victory, and Tirkey said Hockey India would use the extended preparation period to support the team. Most importantly, they have qualified for the Olympics. They will get a lot of time for practice. We will try to provide what is needed from Hockey India, he said. Tirkey also praised the coaching and support staff behind the campaign. I would like to congratulate the coaching team. They have been performing very well since they took charge. I would like to congratulate all the supporting staff. I would like to thank them personally. All of them are working very hard for the team. I would like to congratulate the players as well, he said. Hockey India has also decided to reward the women's team for their gold-medal-winning performance. We decided to award 11 lakh rupees to each player of the women's team. We decided to award 5.5 lakh rupees to the supporting staff, Tirkey said. Tirkey said he had spoken to Savita after the match and praised the goalkeeper for her decisive intervention. I talked to Savita. She was very happy. Her stroke was a big save. I think she deserved the win. She deserved it. It was an excellent game, he said. The men's team will now look to complete a hockey double when they face Malaysia in the Asian Games final on Saturday. The men's gold-medal match also carries Olympic significance, with the Asian Games champions earning direct qualification for the Los Angeles 2028 Games. Tirkey said the women's triumph could provide an additional boost to the men's side ahead of their title clash. I have expectations for the country. I think our men's team will be inspired by today's game. I am confident that we will win tomorrow's game. We will qualify for the Olympics, he said
