Mohammad Yousuf has come under heavy criticism online for his derogatory remarks against India captain Suryakumar Yadav following Pakistan’s defeat in their Asia Cup 2025 clash on Sunday. Facing widespread backlash, Yousuf attempted to clarify his stance by saying he had not intended any disrespect toward “any sportsman who plays for his country with passion and grace.” However, he pointedly avoided mentioning Suryakumar by name in his post on X.   I didn’t mean any disrespect to any sportsman who plays for his country with passion and grace, but why were the Indian media and people praising Irfan Pathan…

The survey is being held from September 22 to October 7 across the state. It is being held up for the second time as the findings of a similar survey conducted…

AS THE Narendra Modi government marks September 17, when the Hyderabad State became a part of India in 1948, as ‘Liberation Day’, it is another Prime Minister whose legacy is closely tied to it. For that leader, the fight for India’s freedom did not end on August 15, 1947. It only finished a year later, on September 17, 1948. That freedom fighter was P V Narasimha Rao, who abandoned his legal practice to become a part of the resistance against the Razakars – the private armies promoted by Hyderabad Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan, whose atrocities against the people were…
