hile the In-
dian team
takes a short
breather
from its hec-
tic schedule and gears up
for the upcoming Asia Cup
in Dubai, the real action is
currently unfolding in the
domestic circuit. It?s the
season of the Duleep Tro-
phy, and this year it has
been made extra special
with several India regulars
turning up for their zonal
teams, lending the tourna-
ment both prestige and
intensity. Suddenly, what
has sometimes been seen
as a routine domestic com-
petition is once again in
the spotlight, offering fans
and selectors a glimpse
into India?s rich red-ball
talent pool.
The Duleep Trophy has
always been more than
just another domestic
event. Since its inception
in 1961?62, named after
the legendary Duleepsin-
hji, it has been designed as
a stage where the best
from across India?s re-
gions compete for suprem-
acy. Initially contested by
the five traditional zones,
North, South, East, West,
and Central, the competi-
tion has evolved in format
but retained its essence.
From 2022-23 season the
traditional 5 teams were
joined by a new North
East Zone team.
Over the decades, the
tournament has been the
launchpad for some of In-
dia?s greatest cricketers.
Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul
Dravid, Sourav Ganguly,
VVS Laxman, Virender
Sehwag, Cheteshwar Pu-
jara, and Rishabh Pant all
honed their craft here.
The Duleep Trophy has
tested their patience, their
ability to bat long and to
deliver under pressure,
qualities that shaped them
into Test match giants.
This season has already
shown why the format re-
mains relevant. Ruturaj
Gaikwad, back after inju-
ry, announced his arrival
with a sparkling 184 for
West Zone in the semi-fi-
nal, a knock that under-
lined both his class and his
hunger. Ayush Badoni?s
double century for Central
Zone and Yash Dhull?s flu-
ent hundred for North
Zone have added further
excitement, proving that
India?s next generation is
eager to make its mark.
Performances like these
are more than just num-
bers, they are statements
of intent, reminding selec-
tors and fans alike that do-
mestic cricket is brimming
with talent.
The renewed energy
around the tournament
also owes much to the
BCCI?s recent push to pri-
oritize domestic cricket.
By mandating that interna-
tional players must par-
ticipate in domestic com-
petitions to remain in con-
tention for selection, the
board has elevated the
value of tournaments like
the Duleep Trophy, Ranji
Trophy, and Irani Cup.
Suddenly, youngsters are
not just facing fellow as-
pirants, they are compet-
ing against established
internationals, raising the
bar significantly.
This emphasis is timely
and vital. In recent years,
the dazzling lights of the
IPL and other T20 leagues
have tempted many
youngsters to chase quick
money and fame. While
the IPL has produced out-
standing cricketers, it can-
not replicate the disci-
pline, patience, and adapt-
ability that first-class
cricket demands. Test
cricket remains the ulti-
mate format, and for India
to continue dominating it,
red-ball tournaments like
the Duleep Trophy must
remain central to the crick-
eting calendar.
The message for today?s
youngsters is clear: aspire
to play for India, not just
franchises. The respect,
longevity, and fulfilment
of representing the coun-
try far outweigh the finan-
cial lure of short-format
leagues. The Duleep Tro-
phy embodies that higher
purpose, reminding play-
ers that the ultimate goal is
the India cap.
Beyond individual per-
formances, the Duleep
Trophy plays a cultural
role as well. It brings to-
gether cricketers from dif-
ferent states into zonal
units, exposing them to
varied roles, and leader-
ship challenges. Captains
learn to manage high-
quality sides, and players
learn to adapt outside their
comfort zones.
For some players, the
Duleep Trophy also acts as
a reality check. A young
domestic star may sud-
denly find himself up
against an India interna-
tional looking to prove a
point. Such encounters can
be humbling, but they of-
ten provide the resilience
and hunger required to
climb higher.
At a time when white-
ball cricket dominates
headlines, the Duleep Tro-
phy reminds us of what
sustains the game?s core in
India, the grind of red-ball
cricket. Its relevance is re-
flected not only in the
quality on display but also
in the attention it is begin-
ning to regain among fans.
Social media chatter, de-
tailed discussions, and ex-
citement over standout
performances are signs
that the tournament is once
again capturing public im-
agination.
Ultimately, the Duleep
Trophy is about more than
zonal supremacy. It is
about strengthening In-
dia?s cricketing pipeline
and preparing the next
generation for internation-
al success. In this sense,
the presence of India?s big
names this season is a pos-
itive signal as it elevates
the competition and in-
spires younger teammates
to aim higher.
As this season unfolds,
one thing is clear: the Du-
leep Trophy is far from
outdated. It is alive, thriv-
ing, and shaping the future
of Indian cricket. If any-
thing, its importance today
is greater than ever. For
those who aspire to the In-
dia cap, this is where the
real audition begins !

he Congress in Kerala appears to have scored
a self-goal with its ill-considered comment
that ?B is for Bidis and Bihar.? Intended as
a swipe at the modified GST rates on bidis and other
items attracting sin tax, the remark has instead been
widely perceived as a slight against Bihar. With Bihar
headed for polls, such callousness could prove cost-
ly for the Congress party.
Political discourse in India is sharply scrutinised,
particularly during election season. Dismissing or
mocking a state risks alienating voters and reinforc-
ing the perception of insensitivity. Bihar, with its long
history of social and political churn, does not take
kindly to casual stereotyping. For the Congress,
which is already struggling to regain relevance in
large swathes of the Hindi heartland, the remark will
do little to inspire confidence among voters.
The episode is a reminder that sharp political mes-
saging must avoid condescension. Targeting policy
is legitimate, but disparaging people is self-defeating.
The Congress may regret the jibe later.
T
he US Supreme Court?s linkage of a punitive
50 percent penalty on India?s Russian oil pur-
chases to ending the war in Ukraine is a re-
markable example of pressure politics. New Delhi,
however, has stood its ground. India has argued con-
sistently that buying discounted Russian oil is a mat-
ter of national interest, essential for energy security
and price stability. This firmness has not only kept the
economy shielded from global volatility but also sig-
nalled that India will not allow external diktats to
define its strategic choices.
The timing of Donald Trump?s outburst on his
Truth Social site ? declaring that the US has lost
India and Russia to
?Deepest, Darkest
China? ? is signifi-
cant. Coming just
days after the Shang-
hai Cooperation Or-
ganisation summit
in China, it reflects
his frustration with
New Delhi?s refusal
to blink under Amer-
ican threats. Yet,
Trump?s remark also
betrays a simplistic
view of India?s for-
eign policy. India is
neither ?lost? to
China nor beholden
to Russia. Its pursuit
of multipolarity
means engaging
with all major pow-
ers, balancing part-
nerships without being subsumed by any bloc.
The Ministry of External Affairs has wisely chosen
silence on Trump?s remarks. Reacting would only
elevate rhetoric that may not reflect America?s insti-
tutional view. Nonetheless, Trump remains a political
force in the US, and one hopes his frustrations do not
overshadow his understanding of India?s strategic
importance leading him to compromise on tariffs. For
Washington, India is a vital partner in Indo-Pacific
security, trade, and technology and India respects the
QUAD strategic partnership.
Indo-US relationship is of equals which demands
respect for India?s choices.

affirmed state govern-
ment?s commitment to

stilling values. He de-
scribed education as a
force that molds both in-
dividuals & society, em-
phasizing that its ultimate
goal is the holistic devel-
opment of personality.

A high-profile robbery in
Barmer’s Gadra Road
area has triggered swift
administrative action,
with the Station House
Officer (SHO) of Gadra
Police Station relieved
of duty and sent to police
lines. The action was
taken by Superintendent
of Police (SP) Narendra
Singh after allegations
of negligence surfaced
over the police’s delayed
response.
According to officials,
a gang of armed assail-
ants broke into a house
on Gadra Road and held
an elderly couple and
their daughter hostage at
gunpoint. The intruders
looted gold and silver
jewellery worth nearly
Rs 93 lakh along with Rs
5 lakh in cash. The fam-
ily members were re-
portedly tied up during
the heist, which took
place late at night.
Despite the gravity of
the crime, police alleg-
edly failed to act prompt-
ly, remaining inactive
for several hours. The
delay drew sharp criti-
cism from locals and
raised serious concerns
about the functioning of
the police station. Tak-
ing note, SP Narendra
Singh ordered discipli-
nary action against SHO
Hanuman Bishnoi,
transferring him to po-
lice lines. The SP has
also taken direct charge

Meanwhile, cloud
seeding was carried out
over Ramgarh Dam in
Jamwaramgarh on Friday
morning, leading to light
rainfall in nearby areas. In
Baseri, a wall collapse due
to rain caused property
damage but no casualties.
In Dausa’s Lalsot, the Mo-
rel River broke through an
anicut near Kankariya,
flooding farmland and
submerging crops.
Meanwhile, amid
heavy rainfall in Ajmer,

A high-profile robbery in
Barmer’s Gadra Road
area has triggered swift
administrative action,
with the Station House
Officer (SHO) of Gadra
Police Station relieved
of duty and sent to police
lines. The action was
taken by Superintendent
of Police (SP) Narendra
Singh after allegations
of negligence surfaced
over the police’s delayed
response.
According to officials,
a gang of armed assail-
ants broke into a house
on Gadra Road and held
an elderly couple and
their daughter hostage at
gunpoint. The intruders
looted gold and silver
jewellery worth nearly
Rs 93 lakh along with Rs
5 lakh in cash. The fam-
ily members were re-
portedly tied up during
the heist, which took
place late at night.
Despite the gravity of
the crime, police alleg-
edly failed to act prompt-
ly, remaining inactive
for several hours. The
delay drew sharp criti-
cism from locals and
raised serious concerns
about the functioning of
the police station. Tak-
ing note, SP Narendra
Singh ordered discipli-
nary action against SHO
Hanuman Bishnoi,
transferring him to po-
lice lines. The SP has
also taken direct charge
of supervising the ongo-
ing investigation.

?China border dispute still India?s biggest challenge?
Agencies
*RUDNKSXU
At a time when India is
warming up to China
amid a downturn in ties
with the US, Chief of De-
fence Staff (CDS) Gen-
eral Anil Chauhan on
Friday said the border
dispute with Beijing
would remain New Del-
hi?s biggest challenge.
Speaking at an event in
Gorakhpur, General
Chauhan listed Paki-
stan?s proxy war against
India as the next major
issue.
?Challenges before
countries aren?t momen-
tary. They exist in differ-
ent forms. I think the
boundary dispute with
China is India?s biggest
challenge and will con-
tinue to remain so... Both
of our opponents are nu-
clear powers, and it will
always remain a chal-
lenge to decide what kind
of operations we want to
undertake against them,?
the defence chief said.
The boundary dispute
has long been an irritant
in India-China ties, with
both countries being in-
volved in several stand-
offs and clashes. The
standoff in eastern
Ladakh along the LAC
was the most recent,
which saw the armies
clashing in Galwan in
2020, resulting in deaths
on both sides.
However, ties have
seen an uptick after India
and China resolved the
border row and decided
to disengage last year.
Since then, both sides
have decided to re-open
border trade, resume di-
rect flights and issue vi-
sas for business and cul-
tural exchanges.
The Chief of Defence
Staff also spoke of the
challenges from Pakistan
and the overall regional
instability.
?The second major
challenge is Pakistan?s
proxy war against India,
with a strategy of ?bleed
India by a thousand cuts?.
Regional instability is
also a concern, as almost
all of India?s neighbours
face social, political, and
economic unrest,? he fur-
ther said.
Speaking on Operation
Sindoor, General Chau-
han emphasised that the
?surprise factor? was
crucial in military opera-
tions, allowing the armed
forces to gain the upper
hand over the enemy.

Andhra Pradesh Chief
Minister N Chandrababu
Naidu unveiled an ambi-
tious vision for the state?s
technological future, an-
nouncing plans for a
?Space City? in Tirupati
from which private satel-
lites will be launched.
Addressing the Interna-
tional Mediation Confer-
ence at the Asian Centre
for International Arbitra-
tion and Mediation
(ACIAM) in Visakhapat-
nam, the Chief Minister
outlined a broad strategy
to position Andhra Pradesh
as a global hub for tech-
nology, from data centres
to space exploration.
The policy outlines
plans for two dedicated
space cities, one in
Lepakshi and the other in
Tirupati, with the latter
focusing on manufactur-
ing satellites and launch
logistics due to its proxim-
ity to the Satish Dhawan
Space Centre (SHAR) at
Sriharikota.
This move is part of a
broader push by the new
state government to accel-
erate development and lev-
erage its key location to
attract high-tech industries.
Drawing a parallel to
the American private
space sector, Mr Naidu,
on the creation of ?Space
City? near Tirupati, said
that ?just like America
has SpaceX, we will soon
launch private satellites
from our Space City.?
The announcement
builds on the state?s previ-
ously announced ?Andhra
Pradesh Space Policy
4.0,? which aims to attract
significant investment
and create thousands of
jobs in the space sector.
This initiative is de-
signed to capitalize on
the growing privatisation

ing Andhra Pradesh with

tioning it as a key player.

In a formal representa-

says is severely hamper-
ing judicial operations.
In its representation to

NCLTBA referred to a
public notice issued on
September 3 that de-
clared Courtrooms IV, V,
and VI, located on the
8th floor of Block 3,
CGO Complex, Lodhi
Road, unsafe due to ex-
tensive roof seepage.
The closure of these
courtrooms has brought
judicial functioning at the
NCLT ?to a near stand-
still,? the Association
stated. The Tribunal cur-
rently operates from the
6th, 7th, and 8th floors of
the CGO Complex. Even
prior to the recent shut-
down, the available space
was described as ?grossly
inadequate?.

DGCA plans to allow import

IRUFRPPHUFLDOIOLJKWRSHUDWLRQV
Agencies
1HZ'HOKL
The Directorate
General of Civil
Aviation (DGCA)
is set to amend regu-
lations to allow airlines
to import aircraft up to 20
years old, addressing de-
lays in aircraft deliveries
caused by global supply
chain disruptions. Cur-
rently, pressurised air-
craft up to 18 years old
can be imported under
existing norms.
Under the proposed
amendments to the Civil
Aviation Requirements
(CAR) concerning the
age of aircraft for sched-
uled, non-scheduled,
charter, and general avia-
tion operations, pressur-
ised aircraft intended for
passenger services would
now be eligible for im-
port if they are:
No more than 20 years
old, or Have completed
up to 65% of their de-
signed economic life in
pressurisation cycles,
whichever comes first.
Unpressurised aircraft,
such as trainer planes that
operate at lower altitudes,
would be evaluated on a
case-by-case basis. These
aircraft must have flown
at least 50 hours in the last
six months and cannot ex-
ceed 25 years of age.
India currently oper-
ates over 800 leased air-
craft, with more than
1,400 planes on order as
airlines expand their
fleets. Supply chain con-
straints have made acquir-
ing new aircraft challeng-
ing, prompting carriers to
explore leasing options.
The DGCA?s proposed relaxation in age
limits is expected to provide airlines greater
flexibility in fleet management and help meet
growing passenger demand

At a time when India is
warming up to China
amid a downturn in ties
with the US, Chief of De-
fence Staff (CDS) Gen-
eral Anil Chauhan on
Friday said the border
dispute with Beijing
would remain New Del-
hi?s biggest challenge.
Speaking at an event in
Gorakhpur, General
Chauhan listed Paki-
stan?s proxy war against
India as the next major
issue.
?Challenges before
countries aren?t momen-
tary. They exist in differ-
ent forms. I think the
boundary dispute with
China is India?s biggest
challenge and will con-
tinue to remain so... Both
of our opponents are nu-
clear powers, and it will
always remain a chal-
lenge to decide what kind
of operations we want to
undertake against them,?
the defence chief said.
The boundary dispute
has long been an irritant
in India-China ties, with
both countries being in-
volved in several stand-
offs and clashes. The
standoff in eastern
Ladakh along the LAC
was the most recent,
which saw the armies
clashing in Galwan in
2020, resulting in deaths
on both sides.
However, ties have
seen an uptick after India
and China resolved the
border row and decided
to disengage last year.
Since then, both sides
have decided to re-open
border trade, resume di-
rect flights and issue vi-
sas for business and cul-
tural exchanges.
The Chief of Defence
Staff also spoke of the
challenges from Pakistan
and the overall regional
instability.
?The second major
challenge is Pakistan?s
proxy war against India,
with a strategy of ?bleed
India by a thousand cuts?.
Regional instability is
also a concern, as almost
all of India?s neighbours
face social, political, and
economic unrest,? he fur-
ther said.
Speaking on Operation
Sindoor, General Chau-
han emphasised that the
?surprise factor? was
crucial in military opera-
tions, allowing the armed
forces to gain the upper
hand over the enemy.

Union Finance Minister
Nirmala Sitharaman on
Friday announced that
the foremost priority of
the government is to en-
sure that the benefits of
the GST tax reforms
reach all the common
people of the country.
In an interview with
India Today TV and Aaj
Tak, the minister men-
tioned that the govern-
ment has a lot of work
after September 22 and
expressed confidence that
the benefits of the GST
reforms will reach the
common people.
?Our main focus will
be on ensuring that rate
cuts are passed on to the
janta. We have a lot of
work post-22nd Septem-
ber. It is a big vigilance
exercise and we are con-
fident the benefits will
reach the common man,?
Nirmala Sitharaman said.
Sitharaman empha-
sised that the new GST
reforms are designed to
keep the basic necessities
and aspirations of the
middle class and the com-
mon man of the country.
She stressed that 90 per
cent of the items fall under
the five per cent or below
tax slab, whereas only one
per cent of the items touch
the 40 per cent tax rate.

Common man and

Only one percent

+\GHUDEDG
Andhra Pradesh Chief
Minister N Chandrababu
Naidu unveiled an ambi-
tious vision for the state?s
technological future, an-
nouncing plans for a
?Space City? in Tirupati
from which private satel-
lites will be launched.
Addressing the Interna-
tional Mediation Confer-
ence at the Asian Centre
for International Arbitra-
tion and Mediation
(ACIAM) in Visakhapat-
nam, the Chief Minister
outlined a broad strategy
to position Andhra Pradesh
as a global hub for tech-
nology, from data centres
to space exploration.
The policy outlines
plans for two dedicated
space cities, one in
Lepakshi and the other in
Tirupati, with the latter
focusing on manufactur-
ing satellites and launch
logistics due to its proxim-
ity to the Satish Dhawan
Space Centre (SHAR) at
Sriharikota.
This move is part of a
broader push by the new
state government to accel-
erate development and lev-
erage its key location to
attract high-tech industries.
Drawing a parallel to
the American private
space sector, Mr Naidu,
on the creation of ?Space
City? near Tirupati, said
that ?just like America
has SpaceX, we will soon
launch private satellites
from our Space City.?
The announcement
builds on the state?s previ-
ously announced ?Andhra
Pradesh Space Policy
4.0,? which aims to attract
significant investment
and create thousands of
jobs in the space sector.
This initiative is de-
signed to capitalize on
the growing privatisation
of the space sector, align-
ing Andhra Pradesh with
global trends and posi-
tioning it as a key player.

The National Company
Law Tribunal Bar Asso-
ciation (NCLTBA) has
voiced grave concerns
over the deteriorating in-
frastructure at the Na-
tional Company Law
Tribunal?s Principal and
New Delhi Benches.
In a formal representa-
tion to the Ministry of
Corporate Affairs, the
Association urged imme-
diate intervention to ad-
dress the crisis, which it
says is severely hamper-
ing judicial operations.
In its representation to
MCA Secretary Deepti
Gaur Mukerjee, the
NCLTBA referred to a
public notice issued on
September 3 that de-
clared Courtrooms IV, V,
and VI, located on the
8th floor of Block 3,
CGO Complex, Lodhi
Road, unsafe due to ex-
tensive roof seepage.
The closure of these
courtrooms has brought
judicial functioning at the
NCLT ?to a near stand-
still,? the Association
stated. The Tribunal cur-
rently operates from the
6th, 7th, and 8th floors of
the CGO Complex. Even
prior to the recent shut-
down, the available space
was described as ?grossly
inadequate?.
Court No. VI was op-
erating only for half a
day, and essential facili-
ties such as a bar room,
canteen, photocopying
services, and sufficient
staff accommodations
were missing.
Commenting on
issue, Advocate
Saurabh Kalia,
Secretary General of
NCLT Bar Association,
stated Tribunal was
already grappling
with serious
infrastructural
deficiencies

DGCA plans to allow import
of aircraft up to 20 years old
IRUFRPPHUFLDOIOLJKWRSHUDWLRQV
Agencies
1HZ'HOKL
The Directorate
General of Civil
Aviation (DGCA)
is set to amend regu-
lations to allow airlines
to import aircraft up to 20
years old, addressing de-
lays in aircraft deliveries
caused by global supply
chain disruptions. Cur-
rently, pressurised air-
craft up to 18 years old
can be imported under
existing norms.
Under the proposed
amendments to the Civil
Aviation Requirements
(CAR) concerning the
age of aircraft for sched-
uled, non-scheduled,
charter, and general avia-
tion operations, pressur-
ised aircraft intended for
passenger services would
now be eligible for im-
port if they are:
No more than 20 years
old, or Have completed
up to 65% of their de-
signed economic life in
pressurisation cycles,
whichever comes first.
Unpressurised aircraft,
such as trainer planes that
operate at lower altitudes,
would be evaluated on a
case-by-case basis. These
aircraft must have flown
at least 50 hours in the last
six months and cannot ex-
ceed 25 years of age.
India currently oper-
ates over 800 leased air-
craft, with more than
1,400 planes on order as
airlines expand their
fleets. Supply chain con-
straints have made acquir-
ing new aircraft challeng-
ing, prompting carriers to
explore leasing options.
The DGCA?s proposed relaxation in age
limits is expected to provide airlines greater
flexibility in fleet management and help meet
growing passenger demand

minute.
India shifted gears in
final quarter, pumping in

The UK's deputy prime
minister, Angela Rayner,
resigned Friday after an
independent inquiry
found that she did not
meet the ethical stand-
ards required for govern-
ment ministers over a
recent home purchase.
On Wednesday,
Rayner admitted that she
did not pay enough tax
on her purchase of an
apartment in Hove, on
England's south coast.
Rayner then referred
herself to the independ-
ent adviser on ministerial
standards, Laurie Mag-
nus, who delivered his
report to Prime Minister
Keir Starmer on Friday.
In the UK, levies are
charged on property pur-
chases, with higher
charges due on more ex-
pensive homes and sec-
ondary residences.
Reports have suggested
that Rayner saved 40,000
pounds by not paying the
appropriate levy, known
as a stamp duty.
Rayner, held the hous-
ing brief in the Labour
government and forged a
reputation as one of its
most forthright speakers.

Russian President
Vladimir Putin said Fri-
day that any foreign
troops deployed to
Ukraine before a peace
agreement has been
signed would be consid-
ered ?legitimate targets?
by Moscow's forces.
Putin's comments came
hours after European
leaders repledged their
commitment to a poten-
tial peacekeeping force, a
prospect that Moscow has
repeatedly described as
?unacceptable.?
?If any troops appear
there, especially now
while fighting is ongo-
ing, we assume that they
will be legitimate tar-
gets,? he said during a
panel at the Eastern Eco-
nomic Forum in the far
eastern Russian city of
Vladivostok.
President Putin also
dismissed the idea of
peacekeeping forces in
Ukraine after a final
peace deal, saying ?no
one should doubt? that
Moscow would comply
with a treaty to halt its
?\HDU IXOOVFDOH LQYD-
sion of its neighbour.
He said that security
guarantees would be
needed for both Russia
and Ukraine.

their campaign in the
women?s Asia Cup hock-
ey tournament with a
11-0 thrashing of Thai-
land here on Friday.
Udita scored in the 30th
and 52nd minutes from
penalty corners while
Dung Dung struck in the
45th and 54th minutes.
India?s other goal-scor-
ers were Mumtaz Khan
(7th minute), Sangita Ku-
mari (10th), Navneet
Kaur (16th), Lalremsiami
(18th), Thoudam Suman
Devi (49th), Sharmila
Devi (57th) and Rutaja
Dadaso Pisal (60th).
India, currently ranked
ninth in the world, led
5-0 at half time in the
Pool B match against the
30th-ranked Thais.
India got a total of nine
penalty corners, out of
which they converted
five, while Thailand did
not earn any PC.
India asserted their
dominance early on with
two field goals from
Mumtaz and Sangita in
the first quarter. The sec-
ond quarter saw India be-
ing more menacing in
attacks and the team
added three more goals to
extend its advantage.
Experienced forward
Navneet and mid-fielder
Lalremsiami scored a
field goal each in quick
succession, followed by
a penalty corner conver-
sion from Udita just be-
fore the half time break.
The second half fol-
lowed a similar trend as
India continued their
constant attacks inside
Thailand?s circle.
India won four penalty
corners in the third quar-
ter, and Dung Dung con-
verted one PC in the 45th
minute.
India shifted gears in
final quarter, pumping in
5 more goals to seal a big
win. Mumtaz, Udita and
Sharmila scored through
penalty corners while
Dung Dung and Rutuja
struck field goals.

About 350 stranded
Manimahesh pilgrims
were on Friday evacuat-
ed from Bharmaur to
Chamba in Himachal
Pradesh by IAF helicop-
ters, officials said.
Hundreds of pilgrims
are still stranded in dif-
ferent parts of Chamba
district, especially in
Bharmaur assembly con-
stituency, which has been
disconnected by roads
following several land-
slides and flash floods
triggered by heavy rain in
the last week of August.
Deputy Commission-
er, Chamba, Mukesh Re-
paswal said two helicop-
ters of IAF have been
pressed into service and
all the stranded pilgrims
would be evacuated on
Friday.
Seventeen pilgrims
have died so far since
the start of Manimahesh
Yatra on August 15 and
hundreds of pilgrims are
still stranded in differ-
ent parts of Chamba dis-
trict especially Bhar-
maur area.
Chief Minister Sukh-
vinder Singh Sukhu

Japan?s Prime Minister
Shigeru Ishiba welcomed
US President Donald
Trump?s signing of an
order to implement lower
tariffs on automobiles
and other Japanese im-
ports as a step that ad-
dressed uncertainty for
key industries.
The reduction to 15 per
cent from the previous 25
per cent was agreed be-
tween the two sides on
July 22.
?Tariff negotiations be-
tween Japan and the
United States were the
top priority for the gov-

The UK's deputy prime
minister, Angela Rayner,
resigned Friday after an
independent inquiry
found that she did not
meet the ethical stand-
ards required for govern-
ment ministers over a
recent home purchase.
On Wednesday,
Rayner admitted that she
did not pay enough tax
on her purchase of an
apartment in Hove, on
England's south coast.
Rayner then referred
herself to the independ-
ent adviser on ministerial
standards, Laurie Mag-
nus, who delivered his
report to Prime Minister
Keir Starmer on Friday.
In the UK, levies are
charged on property pur-
chases, with higher
charges due on more ex-
pensive homes and sec-
ondary residences.
Reports have suggested
that Rayner saved 40,000
pounds by not paying the
appropriate levy, known
as a stamp duty.
Rayner, held the hous-
ing brief in the Labour
government and forged a
reputation as one of its
most forthright speakers.

Russian President
Vladimir Putin said Fri-
day that any foreign
troops deployed to
Ukraine before a peace
agreement has been
signed would be consid-
ered ?legitimate targets?
by Moscow's forces.
Putin's comments came
hours after European
leaders repledged their
commitment to a poten-
tial peacekeeping force, a
prospect that Moscow has
repeatedly described as
?unacceptable.?
?If any troops appear
there, especially now
while fighting is ongo-
ing, we assume that they
will be legitimate tar-
gets,? he said during a
panel at the Eastern Eco-
nomic Forum in the far
eastern Russian city of
Vladivostok.
President Putin also
dismissed the idea of
peacekeeping forces in
Ukraine after a final
peace deal, saying ?no
one should doubt? that
Moscow would comply
with a treaty to halt its
?\HDU IXOOVFDOH LQYD-
sion of its neighbour.
He said that security
guarantees would be
needed for both Russia
and Ukraine.

troops in Ukraine would be targeted

Dr
JAGDEESH CHANDRA, CMD & Editor-in-Chief
THOUGHT OF THE DAY
Postal Reg No. JPC/006/2025-27Jaipur, Saturday | September 6, 2025 ZZZ?UVWLQGLDFRLQ?UVWLQGLDFRLQHSDSHUVMDLSXUWKH?UVWLQGLDWKH?UVWLQGLDWKH?UVWLQGLD
During Prime Minister
Modi?s recent visit to
China, members of the
Indian Muslim commu-
nity were seen welcom-
ing him with Indian
flags and chanting patri-
otic slogans. How do you
interpret this?
Dr Jagdeesh Chandra:
Just look at these images.
If this had happened in
India, in Kanpur, Luc-
know, or Ahmedabad, it
would be one thing. But
all of this happened inside
China. People were hold-
ing the Indian flag, and I
heard they were chanting
slogans like ?Bharat Mata
ki Jai? and ?Jai Shri Ram.?
That?s very encouraging.
From the beginning, I?ve
believed and I?ve stated
this many times, that there
isn?t a full understanding
of the Muslim communi-
ty?s perception of Naren-
dra Modi. There?s defi-
nitely a bit of controversy.
The general perception is
that the Muslim commu-
nity views him negative-
ly. But through our pro-
gramme ?Modi, Mulq aur
Musalman,? I?ve heard
views from Muslims that
are surprisingly positive.
It seems their votes might
actually be divided. Opin-
ions about Modi are
mixed. In that pro-
gramme, whether it?s
from Lucknow, Srinagar,
Bhopal, Bengaluru, or
Kolkata, Muslims have
spoken positively about
Narendra Modi. That?s
the reality. So what hap-
pened in China could be
seen as an extension of
that mindset. In any case,
this was a very powerful
image, it presents a secu-
lar India on a global stage.
There are diplomatic
circles suggesting that
recent tensions with the
US are not just about oil
deals with Russia, but
because Prime Minister
Modi declined to nomi-
nate Donald Trump for
the Nobel Peace Prize.
Do you think there?s
truth to that?
I think there?s reasonable
ground to believe that
version of events. I?ve
heard that during a con-
versation on June 17,
Trump raised the topic
subtly, noting that Paki-
stan had already done so.
He hinted that Modi
should do the same. Modi
deflected the request.
Now, Trump might be
thinking: ?Whenever I
bring this up with Modi,
he ignores me.? The last
time, when Trump visited
India, Imran Khan said
Pakistan wanted peace
with India, and Trump,
who has a habit of posi-
tioning himself as a self-
styled mediator, said,
?Let me mediate.? Modi
rejected the idea outright,
saying there is no room
for a third party. That
likely hurt Trump?s ego.
This time, when he made
fresh demands regarding
reforms in the agriculture
sector, India didn?t yield.
Trump must be thinking,
?Who is this man who
doesn?t listen to me?? He
may have been compar-
ing Modi to Pakistan?s
Prime Minister, who
quickly praised Trump,
passed resolutions in Par-
liament, and thanked him
for ceasefires. Modi did
no such thing. Trump per-
haps expected a similar
display from Modi, even
a resolution or nomina-
tion for the Nobel Prize.
But that?s not possible.
Modi doesn?t bend under
pressure, it?s not in his
DNA. He?s a rational,
thoughtful leader. So yes,
as The New York Times
and others have suggest-
ed, there?s every reason to
believe that this friction is
partly because Modi
didn?t support Trump?s
desire for the Nobel Prize.
In fact, talking about giv-
ing Trump a ?Nobel? now
seems absurd.
We?ve heard that after
the 50% tariff was im-
posed, Trump tried to
reach PM Modi four
times but received no re-
sponse. What?s your take
on this?
That, again, sounds very
plausible. Modi must
have felt deeply hurt.
What didn?t he do for
Trump? He went all the
way to Ahmedabad for
him, drew a crowd of
100,000 people in the
US, most of them Indi-
ans, and even said, ?Vote
for Trump.? There?s a
limit to ungratefulness.
Trump?s behavior now
seems childish, saying
one thing today, another
tomorrow. It?s damaging
to his own image. Stand-
ing with someone like
Trump today would be
below the standards of
someone like Narendra
Modi. Trump?s erratic
behavior, his speeches,
and fluctuating attitude
simply don?t suit Modi?s
personality. Modi must
be hurt, and the best way
to express that was by
not responding. Modi
even stated in Parlia-
ment that during the
conflict days, the US
Vice- President called
four times, and he didn?t
pick up. Eventually, as a
courtesy, he called back
and was told Pakistan
was preparing a major
strike. Modi replied:
?Then we?ll strike hard-
er, if they use cannons,
we?ll use tanks; if they
use bullets, we?ll use ar-
tillery.? Modi felt that
Trump was treating In-
dia like another Paki-
stan, a colony to dictate
to. That?s why I believe
it?s completely justified
that he chose not to re-
spond. In doing so, he
also conveyed the public
sentiment of 1.4 billion
Indians, there is wide-
spread resentment to-
ward Trump. Even those,
who once welcomed him
with songs in temples
and mosques, are now
criticising him. Modi did
the right thing.
Russian President
Vladimir Putin is sched-
uled to visit India this
December. How is this
visit expected to differ
from his previous ones?
This visit will certainly
be special. It will be a
?Super Red Carpet Wel-
come? from Modi. These
are two genuine friends.
Modi is a man of stable
thinking, and Putin is cut
from the same cloth. Pu-
tin says what he means
and follows through.
That?s why the welcome
will be grand, and sig-
nificant agreements are
expected between the
two countries. It?s a good
time for both nations, and
Modi is likely eagerly
awaiting Putin?s arrival
in New Delhi.
A US Federal Court
has declared Trump?s
tariffs illegal. What are
the chances of Trump
getting relief from the
Supreme Court now?
Trump faces a high like-
lihood of losing in the
Supreme Court as well.
This was inevitable.
When you act like a bully
and operate outside con-
stitutional limits, conse-
quences are bound to fol-
low. The court found that
Trump had overstepped
his authority, that there
was no national emer-
gency justifying the use
of such powers. These
emergency provisions
are meant for crises, not
for addressing a trade
deficit. Trump misused
this pretext to impose tar-
iffs across the board,
threatening 100%, 200%
in various places. It was
chaotic. There?s a strong
chance he will lose this
case, and that could bring
a wave of relief globally.
The courts have given
Trump time until Octo-
ber 14 to appeal to the
Supreme Court, or else
the tariffs will be struck
down. The world is
watching the US Su-
preme Court now.
Did India achieve any
significant success
against terrorism at the
recent SCO Summit?
Yes, this was a major dip-
lomatic victory for Modi.
For the first time, a con-
demnation resolution
was passed over the Pa-
halgam incident, and it
named the location ex-
plicitly. Look at the visu-
als, Pakistan?s Prime
Minister is standing on
the sidelines, while Modi
is seen talking directly to
Putin, in command.
That?s symbolic. This is
a significant internation-
al achievement. Modi
got a platform to deliver
a frontal attack against
Pakistan, even in the
presence of China. He
bluntly exposed Paki-
stan?s terror links. This
time, Pahalgam was of-
ficially recorded in the
summit?s proceedings,
that?s unprecedented.
And though Pakistan re-
peated its old double
standards, the world
could see through it. De-
spite this, you saw their
Prime Minister later
sharing a dinner table
with others, these diplo-
matic gestures are just
formalities. It?s been said
that Modi was invited
too, but naturally, he
didn?t attend.
What is your early as-
sessment of the 50% tar-
iff imposed on Indian
exports from August on-
wards?
These tariffs were like a
lightning bolt, a sudden,
damaging blow. The truth
can?t be hidden, Trump
has hurt India deeply.
About 55% of our ex-
ports are now in the risk
zone, with potential loss-
es amounting to $48 bil-
lion. Sectors affected in-
clude textiles, jewelry,
diamonds, handicrafts,
leather, and some agricul-
tural equipment. It?s dev-
astating. Just look at cit-
ies, Surat, once booming
with diamond factories,
is now deserted. Friends
from Surat told me that
their flight to Jaipur had
only 20 passengers. Fac-
tories are shut, businesses
collapsed. Places like
Gurugram, Delhi, Ludhi-
ana, Tiruchirappalli all
show signs of economic
distress. Trump?s actions
are highly irresponsible,
even from a humanitarian
standpoint. But Modi
doesn?t abandon his peo-
ple. The government is
working on large-scale
relief and rehabilitation
packages. The impact is
undeniable, but efforts
are underway. The gov-
ernment is promoting
?self-reliance? (Swadeshi)
and offering financial
support to exporters.
Is the Indian govern-
ment planning any ma-
jor relief measures to
mitigate the impact of
the 50% tariff war initi-
ated by Donald Trump?
The Indian government
is extremely vigilant in
addressing the impact of
the tariff war. The Prime
Minister, the Finance
Minister, and, as I?ve
heard recently, even
Amit Shah are all active-
ly engaged on this issue.
Most likely, all the pro-
posals currently under
discussion will be ap-
proved. The Finance
Minister and Ashwini
Vaishnaw have worked
together to prepare a
comprehensive proposal
aimed at providing sub-
stantial economic relief,
similar in scale to the
major subsidy packages
announced during the
COVID-19 crisis. The
proposed measures in-
clude the provision of
emergency loans for in-
dustries affected by the
tariff, along with an ex-
tension of loan repay-
ment periods for those
already under financial
pressure. Additionally, it
has been recommended
that the timeline for ex-
port-related payments be
extended to give busi-
nesses more breathing
room. The government is
also looking at expand-
ing e-commerce infra-
structure to support do-
mestic producers and
exporters in accessing
alternative global mar-
kets. Perhaps the most
significant reform under
consideration is in the
Goods and Services Tax
system. The government
is working towards intro-
ducing a simplified GST
structure, likely reducing
it to just two slabs, pos-
sibly 5% and 18%. If this
proposal is approved, it
could bring a massive
financial benefit to the
states, amounting to
around Rs 14 lakh crore.
This would be particu-
larly important for states
that have repeatedly
raised concerns about
delayed GST compensa-
tion. While that is a sepa-
rate issue, it?s deeply
connected to the ongoing
reforms. The Finance
Minister has clearly stat-
ed that once these steps
are implemented, Indian
products will become
more competitive in the
global market, and the
country?s overall eco-
nomic situation is ex-
pected to improve. If the
new GST structure is
adopted, not only will it
simplify the tax system,
but it will also bring re-
lief by lowering prices
on at least a hundred es-
sential items, making
them more affordable for
consumers. The reduced
tax burden would pro-
vide a significant mea-
sure of economic relief at
both the state and nation-
al levels.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY
Postal Reg No. JPC/006/2025-27Jaipur, Saturday | September 6, 2025 ZZZ?UVWLQGLDFRLQ?UVWLQGLDFRLQHSDSHUVMDLSXUWKH?UVWLQGLDWKH?UVWLQGLDWKH?UVWLQGLD
During Prime Minister
Modi?s recent visit to
China, members of the
Indian Muslim commu-
nity were seen welcom-
ing him with Indian
flags and chanting patri-
otic slogans. How do you
interpret this?
Dr Jagdeesh Chandra:
Just look at these images.
If this had happened in
India, in Kanpur, Luc-
know, or Ahmedabad, it
would be one thing. But
all of this happened inside
China. People were hold-
ing the Indian flag, and I
heard they were chanting
slogans like ?Bharat Mata
ki Jai? and ?Jai Shri Ram.?
That?s very encouraging.
From the beginning, I?ve
believed and I?ve stated
this many times, that there
isn?t a full understanding
of the Muslim communi-
ty?s perception of Naren-
dra Modi. There?s defi-
nitely a bit of controversy.
The general perception is
that the Muslim commu-
nity views him negative-
ly. But through our pro-
gramme ?Modi, Mulq aur
Musalman,? I?ve heard
views from Muslims that
are surprisingly positive.
It seems their votes might
actually be divided. Opin-
ions about Modi are
mixed. In that pro-
gramme, whether it?s
from Lucknow, Srinagar,
Bhopal, Bengaluru, or
Kolkata, Muslims have
spoken positively about
Narendra Modi. That?s
the reality. So what hap-
pened in China could be
seen as an extension of
that mindset. In any case,
this was a very powerful
image, it presents a secu-
lar India on a global stage.
There are diplomatic
circles suggesting that
recent tensions with the
US are not just about oil
deals with Russia, but
because Prime Minister
Modi declined to nomi-
nate Donald Trump for
the Nobel Peace Prize.
Do you think there?s
truth to that?
I think there?s reasonable
ground to believe that
version of events. I?ve
heard that during a con-
versation on June 17,
Trump raised the topic
subtly, noting that Paki-
stan had already done so.
He hinted that Modi
should do the same. Modi
deflected the request.
Now, Trump might be
thinking: ?Whenever I
bring this up with Modi,
he ignores me.? The last
time, when Trump visited
India, Imran Khan said
Pakistan wanted peace
with India, and Trump,
who has a habit of posi-
tioning himself as a self-
styled mediator, said,
?Let me mediate.? Modi
rejected the idea outright,
saying there is no room
for a third party. That
likely hurt Trump?s ego.
This time, when he made
fresh demands regarding
reforms in the agriculture
sector, India didn?t yield.
Trump must be thinking,
?Who is this man who
doesn?t listen to me?? He
may have been compar-
ing Modi to Pakistan?s
Prime Minister, who
quickly praised Trump,
passed resolutions in Par-
liament, and thanked him
for ceasefires. Modi did
no such thing. Trump per-
haps expected a similar
display from Modi, even
a resolution or nomina-
tion for the Nobel Prize.
But that?s not possible.
Modi doesn?t bend under
pressure, it?s not in his
DNA. He?s a rational,
thoughtful leader. So yes,
as The New York Times
and others have suggest-
ed, there?s every reason to
believe that this friction is
partly because Modi
didn?t support Trump?s
desire for the Nobel Prize.
In fact, talking about giv-
ing Trump a ?Nobel? now
seems absurd.
We?ve heard that after
the 50% tariff was im-
posed, Trump tried to
reach PM Modi four
times but received no re-
sponse. What?s your take
on this?
That, again, sounds very
plausible. Modi must
have felt deeply hurt.
What didn?t he do for
Trump? He went all the
way to Ahmedabad for
him, drew a crowd of
100,000 people in the
US, most of them Indi-
ans, and even said, ?Vote
for Trump.? There?s a
limit to ungratefulness.
Trump?s behavior now
seems childish, saying
one thing today, another
tomorrow. It?s damaging
to his own image. Stand-
ing with someone like
Trump today would be
below the standards of
someone like Narendra
Modi. Trump?s erratic
behavior, his speeches,
and fluctuating attitude
simply don?t suit Modi?s
personality. Modi must
be hurt, and the best way
to express that was by
not responding. Modi
even stated in Parlia-
ment that during the
conflict days, the US
Vice- President called
four times, and he didn?t
pick up. Eventually, as a
courtesy, he called back
and was told Pakistan
was preparing a major
strike. Modi replied:
?Then we?ll strike hard-
er, if they use cannons,
we?ll use tanks; if they
use bullets, we?ll use ar-
tillery.? Modi felt that
Trump was treating In-
dia like another Paki-
stan, a colony to dictate
to. That?s why I believe
it?s completely justified
that he chose not to re-
spond. In doing so, he
also conveyed the public
sentiment of 1.4 billion
Indians, there is wide-
spread resentment to-
ward Trump. Even those,
who once welcomed him
with songs in temples
and mosques, are now
criticising him. Modi did
the right thing.
Russian President
Vladimir Putin is sched-
uled to visit India this
December. How is this
visit expected to differ
from his previous ones?
This visit will certainly
be special. It will be a
?Super Red Carpet Wel-
come? from Modi. These
are two genuine friends.
Modi is a man of stable
thinking, and Putin is cut
from the same cloth. Pu-
tin says what he means
and follows through.
That?s why the welcome
will be grand, and sig-
nificant agreements are
expected between the
two countries. It?s a good
time for both nations, and
Modi is likely eagerly
awaiting Putin?s arrival
in New Delhi.
A US Federal Court
has declared Trump?s
tariffs illegal. What are
the chances of Trump
getting relief from the
Supreme Court now?
Trump faces a high like-
lihood of losing in the
Supreme Court as well.
This was inevitable.
When you act like a bully
and operate outside con-
stitutional limits, conse-
quences are bound to fol-
low. The court found that
Trump had overstepped
his authority, that there
was no national emer-
gency justifying the use
of such powers. These
emergency provisions
are meant for crises, not
for addressing a trade
deficit. Trump misused
this pretext to impose tar-
iffs across the board,
threatening 100%, 200%
in various places. It was
chaotic. There?s a strong
chance he will lose this
case, and that could bring
a wave of relief globally.
The courts have given
Trump time until Octo-
ber 14 to appeal to the
Supreme Court, or else
the tariffs will be struck
down. The world is
watching the US Su-
preme Court now.
Did India achieve any
significant success
against terrorism at the
recent SCO Summit?
Yes, this was a major dip-
lomatic victory for Modi.
For the first time, a con-
demnation resolution
was passed over the Pa-
halgam incident, and it
named the location ex-
plicitly. Look at the visu-
als, Pakistan?s Prime
Minister is standing on
the sidelines, while Modi
is seen talking directly to
Putin, in command.
That?s symbolic. This is
a significant internation-
al achievement. Modi
got a platform to deliver
a frontal attack against
Pakistan, even in the
presence of China. He
bluntly exposed Paki-
stan?s terror links. This
time, Pahalgam was of-
ficially recorded in the
summit?s proceedings,
that?s unprecedented.
And though Pakistan re-
peated its old double
standards, the world
could see through it. De-
spite this, you saw their
Prime Minister later
sharing a dinner table
with others, these diplo-
matic gestures are just
formalities. It?s been said
that Modi was invited
too, but naturally, he
didn?t attend.
What is your early as-
sessment of the 50% tar-
iff imposed on Indian
exports from August on-
wards?
These tariffs were like a
lightning bolt, a sudden,
damaging blow. The truth
can?t be hidden, Trump
has hurt India deeply.
About 55% of our ex-
ports are now in the risk
zone, with potential loss-
es amounting to $48 bil-
lion. Sectors affected in-
clude textiles, jewelry,
diamonds, handicrafts,
leather, and some agricul-
tural equipment. It?s dev-
astating. Just look at cit-
ies, Surat, once booming
with diamond factories,
is now deserted. Friends
from Surat told me that
their flight to Jaipur had
only 20 passengers. Fac-
tories are shut, businesses
collapsed. Places like
Gurugram, Delhi, Ludhi-
ana, Tiruchirappalli all
show signs of economic
distress. Trump?s actions
are highly irresponsible,
even from a humanitarian
standpoint. But Modi
doesn?t abandon his peo-
ple. The government is
working on large-scale
relief and rehabilitation
packages. The impact is
undeniable, but efforts
are underway. The gov-
ernment is promoting
?self-reliance? (Swadeshi)
and offering financial
support to exporters.
Is the Indian govern-
ment planning any ma-
jor relief measures to
mitigate the impact of
the 50% tariff war initi-
ated by Donald Trump?
The Indian government
is extremely vigilant in
addressing the impact of
the tariff war. The Prime
Minister, the Finance
Minister, and, as I?ve
heard recently, even
Amit Shah are all active-
ly engaged on this issue.
Most likely, all the pro-
posals currently under
discussion will be ap-
proved. The Finance
Minister and Ashwini
Vaishnaw have worked
together to prepare a
comprehensive proposal
aimed at providing sub-
stantial economic relief,
similar in scale to the
major subsidy packages
announced during the
COVID-19 crisis. The
proposed measures in-
clude the provision of
emergency loans for in-
dustries affected by the
tariff, along with an ex-
tension of loan repay-
ment periods for those
already under financial
pressure. Additionally, it
has been recommended
that the timeline for ex-
port-related payments be
extended to give busi-
nesses more breathing
room. The government is
also looking at expand-
ing e-commerce infra-
structure to support do-
mestic producers and
exporters in accessing
alternative global mar-
kets. Perhaps the most
significant reform under
consideration is in the
Goods and Services Tax
system. The government
is working towards intro-
ducing a simplified GST
structure, likely reducing
it to just two slabs, pos-
sibly 5% and 18%. If this
proposal is approved, it
could bring a massive
financial benefit to the
states, amounting to
around Rs 14 lakh crore.
This would be particu-
larly important for states
that have repeatedly
raised concerns about
delayed GST compensa-
tion. While that is a sepa-
rate issue, it?s deeply
connected to the ongoing
reforms. The Finance

products will become
more competitive in the
global market, and the
country?s overall eco-
nomic situation is ex-

but it will also bring re-

sential items, making
them more affordable for
consumers. The reduced

T

Gaurvanvi
Sharma is
making her
mark on the
national pageant circuit with
grit, grace, and unshakable
passion. Born and raised in
Jaipur, she has spent the last
five years training tirelessly
for pageants. Her dedication
paid off when she was
crowned Miss Globe India
Runner-Up 2025 with men-
torship of Founder and or-
ganisers Yogesh Mishra &
Nimisha Mishra, following
her earlier success as 1st
Runner-Up at Times Fresh
Face India.
For Gaurvanvi, every
stage is more than a compe-
tition—it is a platform to
express her true self and in-
spire others. “Passion, per-
sistence, and my parents’
support define who I am
today,” she says. Indeed, her
parents have been her
strongest pillars. It was her
mother who first entered her
name for Miss Rajasthan at
17, a move that transformed
coincidence into a calling.
Her father’s quiet encour-
agement has been the
strength behind every step
forward.
Growing up in the vibrant
Pink City, surrounded by
colors, traditions, and art,
Gaurvanvi’s first love was
always the stage. With train-
ing in Kathak and theatre,
she found her voice in story-
telling through expression
and movement. That first
Kathak performance, which
met with thunderous ap-
plause, still fuels her pas-
sion today.
The journey, however,
has not been without hur-
dles. Rejections, criti-
cism, and moments of
self-doubt often tested
her spirit, but support
from family and friends
helped her overcome.
Her mantra—
“progress over perfec-
tion”—keeps her
grounded, along with
journaling, dancing,
and cherishing time
with loved ones.
Beyond crowns, she
has also excelled in folk
dance forms like Bha-
wai and 13 Taali, se-
curing top positions in
intercollege competi-
tions. These perfor-
mances have shaped her
confidence as much as her
pageant journey.
Looking ahead, Gaurvan-
vi envisions herself repre-
senting India on an interna-
tional stage and bringing
home the crown. With her
roots in Jaipur, her heart in
Kathak, and her eyes on
global recognition, she
dreams of inspiring young
girls to believe that nothing
is impossible.

iorgio Armani
(1934?2025),
the revered
master of mod-
ern fashion,
passed away peacefully in Mi-
lan at the age of 91, surround-
ed by loved ones. His death
was confirmed by the Armani
Group on Thursday, which
praised his tireless dedication
to his art and business until his
final days. Armani's journey
began in Piacenza and surpris-
ingly led him away from med-
icine into the world of fashion.
He started as a window dress-
er and buyer at Milan's La Ri-
nascente before designing
menswear for Nino Cerruti.
In 1975, he founded Gior-
gio Armani S.p.A. with Sergio
Galeotti, launching both
menswear and womenswear
lines that would transform the
fashion landscape. He intro-
duced a revolutionary style?
unstructured, softly tailored
suits with muted tones and
natural shoulders?that de-
constructed the formal rigidity
of the 1970s. This new silhou-
ette empowered women in
professional settings and
shaped the global notion of
elegance. Armani's design
philosophy was rooted in dis-
cipline, restraint, and a deep
respect for the individual?
qualities that made his cloth-
ing universally appealing.
A GLOBAL EMPIRE
ROOTED IN INTEGRITY
Armani built his brand into a
luxury empire?comprising
Emporio Armani, Armani
Priv?, home d?cor, cosmetics,
fragrances, hospitality, and
more?while remaining one of
the few major fashion houses
to stay independently owned.

iorgio Armani
(1934?2025),
the revered
master of mod-
ern fashion,
passed away peacefully in Mi-
lan at the age of 91, surround-
ed by loved ones. His death
was confirmed by the Armani
Group on Thursday, which
praised his tireless dedication
to his art and business until his
final days. Armani's journey
began in Piacenza and surpris-
ingly led him away from med-
icine into the world of fashion.
He started as a window dress-
er and buyer at Milan's La Ri-
nascente before designing
menswear for Nino Cerruti.
In 1975, he founded Gior-
gio Armani S.p.A. with Sergio
Galeotti, launching both
menswear and womenswear
lines that would transform the
fashion landscape. He intro-
duced a revolutionary style?
unstructured, softly tailored
suits with muted tones and
natural shoulders?that de-
constructed the formal rigidity
of the 1970s. This new silhou-
ette empowered women in
professional settings and
shaped the global notion of
elegance. Armani's design
philosophy was rooted in dis-
cipline, restraint, and a deep
respect for the individual?
qualities that made his cloth-
ing universally appealing.
A GLOBAL EMPIRE
ROOTED IN INTEGRITY
Armani built his brand into a
luxury empire?comprising
Emporio Armani, Armani
Priv?, home d?cor, cosmetics,
fragrances, hospitality, and
more?while remaining one of
the few major fashion houses
to stay independently owned.
By 2023, his group recorded
revenues of approximately
$2.65 billion and amassed a
net worth estimated at between
$9 billion and $12 billion.
Armani wasn't just a designer;
he oversaw every detail?
from advertising to even fix-
ing models' hair before they hit
the runway?earning him the
affectionate nickname ?Re
Giorgio? (King Giorgio). His
hands-on approach inspired
fierce loyalty within his com-
pany and admiration through-
out the industry.
CULTURAL IMPACT &
LASTING INFLUENCE
His minimalist approach reso-
nated worldwide, dressing
icons from Richard Gere in
American Gigolo to red-car-
pet legends across Holly-
wood and Bollywood.
Stars like Cate Blan-
chett, Julia Roberts,
Lady Gaga, Aishwarya
Rai, and many more
donned his creations
with timeless al-
lure. Armani?s
clothing was
never about
trends?it

Tributes

and peers such as Do-

The Event In-

treated to a vibrant sundown-
er at the Rajasthan Polo Club
and a regal evening at Ram-

mersive experience of Ra-
jasthan?s heritage hospitality.
Speaking on the occasion,
Sameer Babel, President of
AEE, said, ?Evoque pro-
vides a common platform for
leading event professionals
to share ideas, strengthen
partnerships, and create fu-
ture-ready solutions.? Rajesh
Jain, Secretary of AEE, add-
ed, ?Evoque is not just an
event, but a celebration of
Rajasthan?s timeless culture
and modern infrastructure,
positioning the state as a hub
for weddings and MICE.?
Supported by leading ho-
tels and hospitality brands,
the convention continues
with business expos, net-
working, and a grand show-
case at Jaigarh Fort today,
concluding with a farewell
ceremony on 7 September to
pledge new collaborations
and opportunities.
