While Bangladesh followed the suit in 2024 leading to Sheikh Hasina’s exit and most recently Nepal, many wondered whether it will arrive in Pakistan which ticked every box that fuels such movements: economic collapse in parts, high youth unemployment, cronyism, and a political class that many young people see as tone-deaf. Yet, unlike Kathmandu, Dhaka or Colombo, Karachi and Lahore did not become the epicentres of mass, ideologically diffuse youth uprisings. The answer to Pakistan’s…

Judges, Palmer says, already “struggle with what to do about affairs with humans,” and AI companions will only complicate that, as they take into account the broader impact on the relationship. Children complicate the matter even more. When it comes to custody battles, “it is conceivable and likely that they would question the parents’ judgment because they’re having intimate discussions with a chatbot,” which “brings into question how they are spending time with their child.”Although the sophisticated chatbots we use today have only been around for a few years, Yang claims the tech will only play a bigger role in…

November 13, 2025 05:04 PM IST First published on: Nov 13, 2025 at 04:57 PM IST The pitch of the Mahagathbandhan, which forged a seven-party alliance this time, may have centred around jobs and change, with Nitish Kumar now the Chief Minister of Bihar for 20 years. But it is likely to come down Friday to whether the coalition’s principal party, RJD, is able to expand its reach beyond its Muslim-Yadav vote base.

Bryan Regan/Shutterstock For decades, William Shatner was the undisputed face of “Star Trek.” As Captain Kirk, he was a man whose mere mention would conjure up iconic imagery: the USS Enterprise, warp speed blurs, and Klingon Birds-of-Prey. With “Star Trek: The Next Generation” bringing the franchise back to new life, that began to change. In 1994, the seventh “Star Trek” feature film, “Star Trek: Generations,” made the bold decision to kill off Kirk, officially passing the torch to Captain Picard and his now equally iconic crew. Since then, Shatner has never…
