U.S. President Joe Biden and his administration have repeatedly called on Israel to take greater measures to spare Palestinian civilians. A humanitarian move, it looks, isn’t it?
The other side of the picture is that, in the very beginning of the Gaza war, not only Biden rushed to Tel Aviv to ensure the Zionist entity that his administration is there to lend support to it but also sent Blinken and others to the Middle East for the same purpose. The Biden administration also rushed military aid to its close ally, resulting in the genocide of thousands and thousands of innocent civilians, most of whom were children and women. And, recently it blocked international calls for a ceasefire and vetoed the UN Security Council resolution for a ceasefire.
The world is watching everything with bated breath and is not going to buy the US double standard. Or would you call it sheer hypocrisy?

Stalin says ‘Hindi isn’t the national language’
The Tamil Nadu chief minister M.K. Stalin has said that Hindi is just an official language and not the national language, reacting to the unsavoury incident at the Dobolim airport in Goa where a CISF personnel told a woman engineer from Tamil Nadu to learn Hindi, stating that it was the national language. And it was concerning that people were being forced to believe otherwise.
The recurring incidents of passengers from non-Hindi speaking states facing harassment by CISF personnel for not knowing Hindi and being forced to accept the misguided notion that Hindi is the national language of India are deeply concerning, Stalin said on X.
Right to language is part of Human Rights, which the Union Government should understand and act against the imposition of Hindi on those who speak other languages, he said, adding that the repeated occurrence of such incidents could not be tolerated. It was the repetition of the lie that Hindi was the national language by some Union Government officials.

Good Initiative
I am glad to note that you have started to publish names of Bureau Chiefs & Correspondents of Radiance. I would suggest mentioning contact details (Email IDs and Phone Numbers) too. It is of no use to publish the names without contact details.
I would also suggest appointing Bureau Chiefs/ Correspondents in the remaining states & UTs as early as possible so that Radiance can get authentic news through its own channel.

Monstrous extravagance!
On 16th December 2023, reports said a Saudi Prince reserved economy class tickets for his 80 falcons. A photo of this incident was widely shared on social media.The photo showed the falcons perched on airplane seats and tethered securely.
However, according to earlier reports, the incident took place in 2017 when a member of the Saudi Arabian royal family booked every seat in the airplane for his birds so that they would travel in comfort and security.
Anyway, whether the incident happened in 2017 or 2023, it is not of much significance. What is important is that the Saudi Prince indulged in monstrous extravagance, which is prohibited in Islam.
