BAPS Monks Celibacy Rule Triggers Eiffel Tower Protest Over Women Staff: France Defends Equality

The Eiffel Tower shut after workers protested the alleged sidelining of female staff during a private visit by BAPS Hindu monks. The tower operator admitted that the delegation wanted contact with women limited, and said the request should not have been accepted. BAPS apologised for the hurt, but denied that visitors were denied access. The dispute has raised a difficult question: where does religious accommodation end and workplace discrimination begin? BAPS sadhus follow a strict celibate discipline, with rules that limit contact and interaction with women. But France says public workplaces must treat men and women equally. This report explains the allegations, the operators response, BAPSs position, and the India angle. It also asks whether this was deliberate discrimination, poor communication, or a management failure that turned a religious protocol into an international controversy.

Europe's 9/11 Like Terror Nightmare; EU's Top Terrorism Officer Warns Of New Jihadist Network

Twenty-five years after the 9/11 attacks reshaped global counterterrorism efforts, Europe is confronting a new and evolving security challenge. While jihadist organisations continue to pose a significant threat, European authorities say a rapidly growing online extremist network known as The COM is becoming an increasing concern. European Union Counter-Terrorism Coordinator Bartjan Wegter described the phenomenon as violence for the sake of violence, warning that many of those involved are young people radicalised through online platforms. Europol data shows that 45 terrorist attacks were reported across 10 EU member states last year, with nearly half being foiled or failing. Authorities arrested 486 terror suspects in 21 countries, with jihadist groups accounting for the majority of attacks and more than 70% of the arrests.

Govt should adopt flexible approach to ethanol-blending programme: ICRIER

The government should be flexible with its Ethanol Blended Petrol programme, maintaining the E20 target as a long-term goal while allowing for a temporary reduction to E15 when domestic ethanol availability is insufficient, according to a research paper from ICRIER. The paper, titled Food vs Fuel: Recalibrating India's Ethanol Blending Strategy, said the choice between maintaining E20, importing ethanol and temporarily reducing blending should ultimately depend on their relative economic costs under prevailing conditions. Such a mechanism would allow the programme to respond to temporary agricultural shocks without compromising the longer-term objective, the paper co-authored by agricultural economist Ashok Gulati said. India has rapidly expanded its Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme. Ethanol is produced from agricultural commodities such as sugarcane, maize and surplus rice. The final safeguard should be flexibility in the blending rate itself. The 20 per cent target can
