Gujarat tops NITI Aayog's 1st Investment Friendliness Index 2026
Gandhinagar, Jul 18:Gujarat has emerged as India's most investment-friendly state, securing the top rank in NITI Aayog's inaugural Investment Friendliness Index 2026 with a score of 56.6, ahead of Maharashtra (53.7) and Tamil Nadu (53.3). The index, which assessed 17 major states across 84 indicators under eight pillars, evaluates the entire investment lifecyclefrom policy and governance to infrastructure, business facilitation and fiscal management. The ranking reinforces Gujarat's position as a preferred destination for domestic and global investors. The report attributes Gujarat's performance to its stable policy environment and investor-centric governance. It highlights the role of the Industrial Extension Bureau (iNDEXTb), whose single-window facilitation system streamlines approvals and provides end-to-end support for investors. A time-bound mechanism for obtaining statutory clearances and No Objection Certificates (NOCs) has also helped reduce project delays. The index further notes that restrictions on strikes in essential services have contributed to industrial peace, providing businesses with a stable operating environment. Gujarat's industrial infrastructure is cited as one of its strongest advantages. Investment hubs such as Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR), GIFT City, Sanand, Dahej, Jhagadia and Saykha offer plug-and-play facilities that enable industries to establish operations quickly while reducing project costs and execution time. The report also credits the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit for attracting substantial domestic and international investment commitments, strengthening the state's global investment profile. On logistics and connectivity, Gujarat accounts for nearly 10 per cent of India's state highway networkalmost four times the national averageand has the country's highest estimated expressway length at 635 kilometres. Nearly 7 per cent of India's railway network passes through the state, contributing to efficient logistics and stronger supply chain competitiveness. The index identifies affordable and reliable power as another key advantage. Industrial electricity tariffs in Gujarat are nearly 29 per cent lower than the national average, while industries receive an average daily power supply of 23.8 hours, helping lower operating costs and improve productivity. The report also highlights Gujarat's strong economic fundamentals. The state contributes 31 per cent of India's merchandise exports and recorded the third-highest Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) growth among states during FY2019-24. Its per capita GSDP stands at

The Final Sanctuary: How the Living House the Dead across Earth, Sky, and Sea
The 16th of July marked the 34th death anniversary of my dear father. In this connection, I attended the Fatiha prayer at his grave, and standing there, I was deeply reminded of how much our loved ones matter to us, even long after they have departed. The relationship between the living and the dead is one of the oldest stories of human civilization. It is written not just in our hearts, but in the very soil, air, and water of the places we call home. As the world grows more crowded and our environments change, the ways we say our final goodbyes are evolvingreflecting a delicate balance between sacred tradition and modern necessity. The Close Neighbors of Mallaratta: Kashmirs Intimate Lands In the historic quarters of Srinagar, death has never been segregated from daily life. To this day, my ancestral home, Yarkand House in Mallaratta, stands tall and firm after 115 years of construction. Just twenty feet away lies our family graveyard, Maqbara Sadat Andrabis, where my parents, grandmother, and paternal uncles rest in peace. Purchased by my great-grandfather in mid-1916 from his pious Andrabi father-in-law for the princely sum of rupees eighteen, this plot remains beautifully maintained by the family. In those good old days, keeping graveyards close to residential houses was a comforting philosophya daily, grounding reminder of mortality, love, and continuity. On a grander scale, the historic Malkha graveyard was established centuries ago as a central repository of memory for the Muslims of Srinagar. Originally a vast grape orchard spanning a thousand kanals, it was centrally located. Tragically, modern urbanization and political short-sightedness have reduced it to less than two hundred kanals. Encroachmentsranging from schools and mosques to slum colonies, stadium spaces, a gondola take-off stand, and the Rainwari Hospitalhave slowly fractured this collective heritage. Yet, Kashmirs land laws historically accommodated this sacred geography. In rural areas, freshly converted communities utilized abundant state or grazing lands, recorded in revenue registers as Kachari, Shamilat, or Abadi Deh. These final resting places were legally protected under designations like Maqbooza Qabristan or Ahli-Islam. Similarly, the Kashmiri Pandit community utilized designated lands for their last rites, formally recorded as Maqbooza Ahli-Hinoo, Shamshan Ghat, or Awarin. Whether through burial or fire, the departed remained rooted in the land. The Birdless Skies: The Changing Rituals of the Parsis While Kashmir looks to the earth, the Parsi community traditionally looked to the sky. Holding the elements of nature in absolute veneration, Zoroastrian tradition dictates that burying a body desecrates the earth, and burning it pollutes sacred fire. Thus, they constructed Dakhmas, or Towers of Silence, where the dead were left open to the elements and to vulturesa system designed as the ultimate eco-friendly act of giving back to nature. However, these ancient towers are losing their sheen. The vulture population across India has dwindled catastrophically due to inadvertent poisoning from veterinary drugs like diclofenac. With the skies suddenly empty, the community has had to adapt. Today, many Parsis are shifting their attitudes toward modern technology, turning to electric crematoriumsparticularly in Mumbai and parts of Gujaratmarrying ancient prayers with contemporary realities. The Automated Vaults of Japan Farther east, in the hyper-dense urban centers of Japan, the challenge is sheer space. The Japanese have innovated an incredibly advanced, scientific approach to handling the dead. In modern, multi-story indoor cemeteries, they utilize deep, rounded well-like pits designed with state-of-the-art engineering. Each family possesses their own automated vault box. When a body is placed inside, specific, highly regulated chemical compounds are introduced to accelerate decomposition safely and rapidly. Within a remarkably short period, the physical remains are reduced to clean ashes. The vault is then thoroughly cleansed and prepared, efficiently making room for the next family member. It is a striking blend of profound ancestral respect and futuristic spatial efficiency. Rest in the Deep: The Ancient Law of Sea Burials For those who spent their lives moving across the vast expanse of the oceans, the final resting place is neither earth nor sky, but the deep blue. Sea burial is a time-honored tradition, particularly for sailors, explorers, or travelers who pass away at sea. Steeped in maritime protocol, the body is carefully prepared, weighted, sewn into a canvas shroud, and lowered into the ocean depths. Out of sight of land, the body gently descends to the seabed, where marine life naturally consumes the physical form, returning the traveler to the great cradle of the worlds waters. Sky Burials of Ladakh and Tibet: The Frozen Horizons In contrast to the warm oceans, the high-altitude, freezing ecosystems of places like Ladakh and Tibet offer unique challenges. In these arid, rocky, and timber-scarce environments, digging a grave into frozen earth is nearly impossible, and there is little wood available for large funeral pyres. Here, the ancient practice of Sky Burial (Jhator) takes a different form than that of the Parsis. On designated sacred mountaintops, specialized practitioners gently prepare the body, which is then offered to Himalayan vultures. In the Buddhist philosophy of these regions, the body is seen as an empty vessel once the soul leaves. Offering the physical remains to the birds is considered a final, supreme act of generosity and compassion toward other living creatures, ensuring that the lifecycle continues even on the barren, cold roofs of the world. Conclusion: A Shared Journey Home From the rose-rimmed walls of Yarkand House in Mallaratta to the automated towers of Tokyo, and from the deep ocean trenches to the windswept peaks of Ladakh, humanitys diverse funeral customs reveal a beautiful truth. We may use earth, fire, air, or water to return our loved ones to the universe, but the underlying intent remains identical: to honor our past, to respect our environment, and to ensure that those who shaped our lives are never truly forgotten.

Nehal Wadhera Switches From Punjab To Himachal Pradesh Ahead Of The Domestic Season
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Punjab have been dealt a blow ahead of the upcoming domestic season as their top batter Nehal Wadhera has decided to leave the team and play for Himachal Pradesh in the upcoming season, providing the hill state a significant boost as they look to revamp after a poor performance last year.

He was also part of Punjabs title-winning Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy squad in the 2023-24 season. Overall, Wadhera has played 17 first-class matches, 16 List A games, and 69 T20s in domestic cricket.

'They Made Me Understand My Game': Sundar Credits Gambhir, Nehra For Batting Prowess
Washington Sundar: India all-rounder Washington Sundar credited head coach Gautam Gambhir and Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra for helping him develop greater clarity as a batter after playing a pivotal unbeaten half-century in India's six-wicket win over England in the opening ODI at Edgbaston, saying their guidance has played a major role in his evolution across formats. Sundar remained unbeaten on 52 while sharing an unbroken 102-run partnership with Axar Patel to steer India to a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. His knock marked his maiden ODI fifty and capped another important contribution with the bat after assuming varied roles for both India and in franchise cricket over the last few seasons. Reflecting on his development as a batter, Sundar said preparation and the confidence shown in him by those around him have been instrumental. I try and prepare really well. As much as possible (with) preparation, I make sure I do it to the T. I give a lot of importance to preparation, and I am so grateful that people have always had faith in my skill set. Here, Gautibhai (Gautam Gambhir) always made me understand what exactly I could do with the bat, especially, and made me understand my game as well. And even Ashish Nehra in GT, he's always made sure, like he's helped me understand myself a lot more, be it as a person or as a cricketer on the whole. So, I'm honestly grateful for the fact that I've got such people around me who are actually helping me become a better cricketer every single day, Sundar told reporters during the post-match press conference. I think that's very important, especially for me. As an all-rounder, I think it's really important to keep looking to improve every single day and understand my game and obviously play according to situations. Playing a lot of games also helps you get to be in those situations, understand what exactly you can do and you have a lot of learning as well. So, yes, I'm so grateful that I've got such people who have always had faith in my skill sets and also made me understand what exactly I could do in different skill sets, he added. Sundar has been entrusted with multiple batting responsibilities over the years, ranging from opening in first-class cricket to batting in the middle order and finishing games in white-ball formats. He said embracing those changing responsibilities has helped him become a more complete cricketer. Over the years, I've understood the fact that I need to keep improving my skill sets, which will help me whenever the situation arises. And the fact that I play different roles is exciting. Not many people get to play different roles. I get to sort of play those different roles and be in those different situations. And obviously, I try my best to help the team win. Its exciting to sort of be in different situations and different phases of the game. But as I said, every single day, it's important, especially for me, to keep improving. As I said, we play different formats in a short span of time. So, there's hardly any change you could do between switching formats. I think, on the whole, as much as I could prepare really well, I think I'll be ready when the situation arrives. That's the mindset, he stated. India had switched directly from a T20I series into the ODI leg of the tour, but Sundar said adapting between formats is an expected part of international cricket. Its exciting to sort of be in different situations and different phases of the game. But as I said, every single day, it's important, especially for me, to keep improving.
