American President Joe Biden supports Israel, and China's President Xi Jinping backs Palestians. Israel launched an ongoing invasion of the Gaza Strip with the stated goals of destroying Hamas, a military and political movement that led an attack on Israel earlier in the month. In recent times tensions have surged, sparking fears of a potential third World War. Ongoing conflicts between Israel and Iran, China's backing of Muslim nations, and the escalating crisis between Russia and Ukraine have put the world on edge, grappling with the looming threat of widespread unrest and warfare. The long-standing enmity between Israel and Iran in the Middle East has been a major cause for international alarm. These nations, vying for dominance in the region, have clashed repeatedly, heightening tensions not only locally but also on a global scale. With China's involvement complicating matters due to its strategic interests in the region, the situation remains precarious.  China has lon

Nashik , a prominent center for commerce, industry, and pilgrimage in Maharashtra, is facing a concerning issue. Despite its rich history of ancient temples and historical sites, investigations have uncovered that certain accommodations on Trimbak Road are operating secret brothels under the guise of lodging for devotees.  Local residents have reported that some lodge managers are exploiting college girls for such activities. In some establishments, girls and women are seen moving freely, while in others, girls are made available based on customer preferences.  This unethical behavior has caused Trimbak Road to be feared as an unacknowledged 'red light area'. Reports suggest that most lodges on Trimbak Street are running illegal brothels, causing outrage in the community as lodgings intended for devotees are being misused. The involvement of women in the sex trade is widespread, with migrant youth and women heavily involved in this profession.  Shockingly, even college-aged gir

    In a recent development, the ongoing debate over the name of Alibag has reignited, sparking a range of opinions and emotions among locals. The name "Alibag" has been a topic of dispute, with some linking it to discomfort due to its Islamic origins.     The term Alibag or Alibaug translates to 'Ali's Garden,' originating from a wealthy Bene Israeli individual named Ali/Eli who created numerous wells and gardens in the area, cultivating mango and coconut plantations. This led to the locals referring to it as “Alichi Bagh,” later evolving into Alibaug.    Alibaug and its neighboring villages hold historical significance for the Bene Israel Jews, with records indicating their arrival over 2000 years ago, seeking refuge from the Roman Empire after their shipwreck.    In Alibaug, a group of Israelis eager to explore Maharashtra's rich heritage quickly embraced Marathi culture. They learned the language and won over the locals, becoming valued members of Indian s

This bold and progressive step not only empowered women but also boosted the financial revenue of the State Transport Corporation, indicating the government's commitment to fostering inclusivity and gender equality. The tenure of Anant Gite as MP and Central Minister was unfortunately marked by a lack of substantial results, with a significant portion of allocated funds remaining unut
