https://ift.tt/ULf7lZm Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri attended Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman's swearing-in ceremony on behalf of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but a noticeable outreach effort can also be seen in the foreign secretary's meeting with Bangladesh Jamaat-E-Islami chief Dr. Shafiqur Rahman on the sidelines of the event.  The Bangladesh Jamaat-E-Islami has emerged as the largest opposition party in Bangladesh and notably won big in areas along the border with India.  One of the complaints that Bangladesh has had earlier with Indian foreign policy regarding Bangladesh, especially during the tenure of Sheikh Hasina and the Awami League, was that India did not engage with any other political group, and that was articulated by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party as well after it won the election. ভারতের বিদেশসচিব শ্রী বিক্রম মিস্রি বাংলাদেশের নতুন সরকারের শপথ গ্রহণ অনুষ্ঠানের অবকাশে বাংলাদেশের বিরোধীদলীয় নেতা ও বাংলাদেশ জামায়া...

https://ift.tt/vFU2V47 A video has gone viral on X , showing local mountain residents, known as Pahadis, confronting a group of bikers. Notably, the bikers who were from Haryana were riding through mountain passes using illegal exhausts that produced explosive, firecracker-like sounds. Apart from the noise nuisance, locals expressed frustration that such reckless riding on narrow, winding mountain paths significantly increased the risk of accidents. Frustrated by the noise and potential safety risks on narrow roads, locals caught the riders and forced them to sit near their own bikes while the engines were revved. This was intended to give the bikers a "taste of their own medicine" by making them endure the deafening roar up close. Social Media Reaction The video has fueled a broader debate on tourist behaviour and etiquette in sensitive ecological zones like Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. One user wrote, "Individuals who rely on excessive engine noise to command ...

https://ift.tt/b50i413 The question of whether one particular strike was the straw that broke the camel's back and made Pakistan approach the Indian side and push for a ceasefire after Operation Sindoor last year has long been debated. One of the world's foremost aviation historians, analysts and experts may finally have the answer. Despite the Indian Air Force denying that it had struck Kirana Hills, one of Pakistan's main storage facilities for nuclear weapons and a former nuclear testing site, Tom Cooper is convinced the facility was hit and that "Pakistan was finished by then".  "It's a place you hit when you want to send a clear message without causing, let's put it this way, too much damage. It means, "Listen, guys in Pakistan, we can hit you severely where we want, whenever we want, with as much ammunition as we want. Stop it, finally'," Cooper told NDTV's Shiv Aroor in an exclusive interview on Tuesday.  "And consider...

https://ift.tt/xjT4f65 The world today is chasing one thing with an urgency usually reserved for oil, rare earths, or strategic minerals. That thing is an NVIDIA chip. Or more accurately, an NVIDIA GPU, the Graphics Processing Unit, that has become the engine of artificial intelligence. Governments want them, technology companies cannot get enough of them, and nations that hope to shape the future of AI know that without access to these chips, ambition will remain just that, ambition. NDTV brings a rare touch-and-feel of this much sought-after technology. What stands on display is not a small chip or a plug-in card, but an imposing rack of machines, the kind that now defines computing power in the AI era. India currently has about 38,000 such NVIDIA Graphics Processing Unit (GPUs), a number publicly cited by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav, who has also said that the government has approved orders for another 10,000. Even so, in a world where artificial intelligence is becoming centr...

https://ift.tt/PHRrosl Former Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Rajasthan Royals (RR) are set to approach India head coach Gautam Gambhir to join them as CEO, mentor, and partner, according to a report.

However, Gambhir is unlikely to join RR due to his cu...

https://ift.tt/3Xio9IU A quadruped machine that can navigate rubble, climb stairs, and diagnose mechanical failures without human intervention is the centre of attention at the India AI Summit. This robot, developed for industrial "Physical AI" by Tata Consultancy Services, is designed to operate in industrial environments such as construction sites, warehouses, manufacturing plants and distribution centres.  By mimicking the movement of an animal and combining it with high-performance onboard processing, the unit can patrol construction sites, factories, and warehouses to perform inspections in complex, noisy, and risky environments. Today, inspections in such places are mostly manual, which increases the risk while checking equipment, recording readings and pointing out errors.  In heavy industries, even a small, unnoticed issue like a pressure drop or voltage fluctuation can turn into major downtime or a serious safety incident. That's where this quadruped changes ...
