The meeting between National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and Russian president Vladimir Putin in Moscow last week, on the margins of a meeting organized under the aegis of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation on Afghanistan, is significant beyond measure.Not just because it comes on the eve of the first anniversary of the Russia-Ukraine war, on 24 February, but because it demonstrates the shifting winds of geopolitics since Putin decided to throw caution into the Moskva and surprise even his own people by invading Ukraine.First, though, the context. Duval is the first Indian leader, besides the various prime ministers of course, to have met Putin in the last 20-odd years since Brajesh Mishra. As former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s NSA, Mishra was instrumental in shaping India’s foreign policy and keeping it on an even keel since Vajpayee took India nuclear in 1998. The meeting with Mishra and Putin, Russia’s president at the time as well, took place in 2001.Since then, Putin has met no foreign minister from India from either the BJP or the Congress – not Jaswant Singh, Yashwant Sinha, Pranab Mukherjee, Sushma Swaraj or the current incumbent, S Jaishankar.
Nor has he met any NSA – neither JN Dixit nor MK Narayanan.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s significant reliance on Doval and their shaping, especially, of India’s neighbourhood policy, seems to have tipped the balance in Russia’s mind. The fact that India has ably walked the tortuous middle path between America and Russia, since Moscow went to war with Kyiv one year ago, must go to Modi’s credit. Two of the PM’s key and trusted confidantes who have masterminded this policy are Doval and Jaishankar.

Alleging that the BJPled government is “not following the Constitution” and has “murdered democracy” in Tripura, he said that the two rivals – the Left and the Congress- have joined hands to end “fascist” rule in the state.

It is true that a
CPI(M)-led front is running a government in Kerala where the Congress is sitting on the opposition bench. But democracy is vibrant there, which is missing in Tripura.
The BJP is not following the Constitution here and a fascist rule is going on,” Sarkar said at an election rally in South Tripura’s Santirbazar on Monday. Sarkar also claimed electors “could not cast” their votes in the past five years and urged them to ensure that they can exercise their franchise in the February 16 elections.

‘Shami came to me angry, said ‘I want to quit cricket’. I immediately took him to Ravi Shastri and...’’: Ex-India coach ‘Sachin Tendulkar was deeply unhappy when I joined the team. MS Dhoni meanwhile...’: Ex-India coach’s stirring details
Over the years, Indian cricket team has been blessed with several gifted coaches such as John Wright and Ravi Shastri, and some not so great like Greg Chappell and Kapil Dev.

Over the past three decades, Zee TV has presented its viewers with stories on subjects close to their hearts and introduced them to characters that have become an integral part of their daily lives! Having narrated several such tales that have resonated beautifully with audiences across India, Zee TV recently launched the story of an unlikely couple brought together by the most unusual circumstances and their family dynamics. Set in Delhi, Lag Ja Gale follows the journey of Shiv (Namik Paul)- an affluent, self-made young hotelier, and Ishani (Tanisha Mehta), a hard- working girl who juggles between multiple odd jobs as the sole breadwinner for her middleclass family. The story will explore how the two of them choose to come together in marriage for the sake of their siblings despite
multiple misunderstandings and misgivings! While the audience is already enjoying the banter and onscreen chemistry between Shiv and Ishani, the couple faces an unusual challenge working with each other. For every scene where Tanisha has to stand opposite Namik, she has to take the help of a ‘Stool’ to match up to his height. And unknowingly the actors end up recreating one of the most popular scenes from ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’ where Amitabh Bachchan pulls a ‘stool’ for Jaya Bachchan where she helps him with his tie. Now isnt that cute?
