Two women are trying their electoral luck this time in two different constituencies in the state of West Bengal.

Rather, there can be no comparison given the status and stature of the two women. Ratna is no match for the mighty Mamata. Mamata is fighting for her political survival against the massive onslaught of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Undoubtedly, she…

Trump calls US Navy ‘pirates’ over ship seizure, sparks controversy | WATCH

New Delhi: US President Donald Trump seems to have yet again stirred another controversy after comparing the actions of the US Navy to โ€œpiratesโ€ while talking about a recent operation at sea.

Oscars 2027 rule change allows multiple film entries per country

The path to an Oscar statuette has become notably more nuanced following a comprehensive overhaul of the Academyโ€™s rulebook. In preparation for the 99th Academy Awards in March 2027, the Board of Governors has introduced several shifts that challenge long-standing traditions, offering a particularly intriguing outlook for international cinema and the future of human performance. ย  One of the most striking adjustments concerns the acting categories.
