Manmohan Singh Passes Away: Nation Mourns Architect of Economic Reforms


<p>Manmohan Singh Death: Former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, the architect of India&#8217;s economic liberalisation, passed away at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS Delhi) on Thursday at the age of 92. AIIMS, in an official statement, said that Dr Singh was admitted to the medical emergency at 8.06 PM after his health deteriorated. Prior to this, he was undergoing treatment for age-related ailments at home and had suddenly collapsed. He breathed his last at 9.51 PM on Thursday.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Seven Days of National Mourning Declared</h2>



<p>The central government has declared seven days of national mourning following Dr Singh&#8217;s death and cancelled all scheduled events on Friday. A cabinet meeting has been called for 11 AM. Dr Singh&#8217;s last rites will be performed with full state honours. Several dignitaries, including President Droupadi Murmu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, have expressed their condolences.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Born in Gah, West Punjab</h2>



<p>Manmohan Singh was born on 26 September 1932, in Gah, West Punjab, now part of Pakistan. Following the partition of India in 1947, his family moved to India. His father&#8217;s name was Gurmukh Singh and his mother&#8217;s name was Amrit Kaur. He married Gursharan Kaur in 1958. He is survived by three daughters: Upinder Singh, Daman Singh, and Amrit Singh.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">His last Public Appearance was in January</h2>



<p>Manmohan Singh had remained away from politics in recent years due to health reasons. His health had been frail since the beginning of 2024. His last public appearance was in January 2024 at the launch of his daughter&#8217;s book.</p>



<p>“Former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh Ji was one of those rare politicians who also straddled the worlds of academia and administration with equal ease. In his various roles in public offices, he made critical contributions to reforming the Indian economy. He will always be remembered for his service to the nation, his impeccable political life, and his utmost humility.”<br><strong>-President Droupadi Murmu</strong></p>

Manmohan Singh: From Government Job to Prime Minister – His Inspiring Journey


<p><strong>Manmohan Singh Passes Away:</strong> Dr Manmohan Singh, who served as India&#8217;s 14th Prime Minister, is remembered as the architect of India&#8217;s economic reforms. He was sworn in as Prime Minister on 22 May 2004 and completed two terms, concluding on 26 May 2014. Leading the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government under the Congress party, he served a total of 3,656 days as Prime Minister, making him the third-longest-serving Prime Minister in India&#8217;s history, after Jawaharlal Nehru (6,130 days) and Indira Gandhi (5,829 days).</p>



<p>Born on 26 September 1932, in the village of Gah, in the Punjab region of Pakistan, Singh completed his postgraduate studies in Economics at Panjab University, Chandigarh, and subsequently obtained a doctorate from Oxford University.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Civil Service to Politics</h2>



<p>Singh had a long and distinguished career in government service. He began his journey in 1971 during Indira Gandhi&#8217;s tenure as an economic advisor to the Ministry of Foreign Trade. In 1972, he became the Chief Economic Advisor to the Ministry of Finance, a position he held until 1976.</p>



<p>In 1991, amidst India&#8217;s economic crisis, he was appointed as the Finance Minister. Singh devalued the rupee, reduced taxes, privatised state-owned industries, and encouraged foreign investment, leading to positive changes in the country&#8217;s economy. A member of the Indian National Congress, he joined the Rajya Sabha in 1991. He served as Finance Minister until 1996 but lost the 1999 Lok Sabha elections.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2004 Victory, Manmohan Singh Becomes Prime Minister</h2>



<p>The Congress party defeated the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the 2004 parliamentary elections. Congress President Sonia Gandhi declined the Prime Ministership, and Singh was chosen for the post. He formed the government and assumed office. His key objectives included improving the condition of India&#8217;s poor, establishing peace with Pakistan, and improving relations between various religious communities.</p>



<p>Singh worked towards a rapidly growing economy, but rising fuel prices led to increased inflation, creating difficulties in providing subsidies to the poor. To meet India&#8217;s growing energy needs, he signed a nuclear cooperation agreement with US President George W. Bush in 2005. This agreement allowed India to obtain fuel and technology for nuclear power plants but faced international opposition. Following further progress on the agreement in 2008, Singh&#8217;s government faced a confidence vote in Parliament, a process affected by allegations of corruption and vote-buying.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Prime Minister until 2014</h2>



<p>In the May 2009 elections, Congress increased its number of seats, and Singh assumed office as Prime Minister for a second term. However, a slowdown in India&#8217;s economic growth and corruption allegations against Congress leaders affected the government&#8217;s popularity during his second term. In 2014, Singh announced he would not seek a third term as Prime Minister, and he left office on 26 May, the same day Narendra Modi was sworn in as Prime Minister.</p>


<p>Dr Manmohan Singh, former Prime Minister of India, has passed away. He was admitted to the emergency department of AIIMS, Delhi, on Thursday following a deterioration in his health.</p>

Indian Player Test Match Fee: Kohli gets ₹15 lakh per Test, while Jaiswal earns ₹45 lakh—find out why the difference is so big.


<p>Indian star batsman Virat Kohli has been fined 20% of his match fee and one demerit point for a shoulder-to-shoulder collision with Australian debutant Sam Konstas on day one of the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The ICC deemed the contact intentional, leading to the penalty. Kohli was charged under Article 2.12 of the Code of Conduct, which states: “Any form of inappropriate physical contact in cricket is prohibited. Players will be sanctioned if they deliberately or recklessly collide with, run into or bump another player or umpire.”</p>



<p>The incident occurred after the 10th over. Kohli, holding the ball, altered his course and collided with Konstas. </p>



<p>Konstas reacted negatively, exchanging words with Kohli. His opening partner Usman Khawaja and on-field umpire Michael Gough quickly intervened to defuse the situation. Australia&#8217;s former captain Ricky Ponting expressed his displeasure at the Kohli-Constas collision. The ICC&#8217;s action resulted in a Rs 300,000 loss for Kohli. This raises the question of how much Indian players earn for a Test match.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Match Fees for Indian Players</h2>



<p>The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) pays a Test player Rs 15,00,000 per match. However, Yashasvi Jaiswal will receive Rs 45,00,000 per match this year, while Virat Kohli will receive only Rs15,00,000. This is because the BCCI stipulates that a player who plays more than 75% of matches in a year receives Rs 45,00,000. The Melbourne Test was Jaiswal&#8217;s 15th Test, and India played 15 Test matches this year, giving him a 100% record. Kohli, on the other hand, played 10 out of 15 matches (less than 75%), hence the difference in match fees.</p>

Malaika Arora Responds to Arjun Kapoor&#39;s &#39;I&#39;m Single&#39; Comment


<p><strong>Malaika Arora Instagram:</strong> Bollywood&#8217;s power couple, Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora, have been separated for quite some time. Their love affair ended a while ago, and since then, both have often shared posts on Instagram expressing their feelings and hinting at their future. These posts clearly reveal their displeasure and pain. Recently, Arjun Kapoor publicly confirmed that he is single, leaving fans of the couple shocked. Now, Malaika has responded to her ex-boyfriend&#8217;s statement, creating a stir on social media.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Malaika Arora Comments on Arjun Kapoor&#8217;s Statement </h2>



<p>Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor were together for five years. They were reportedly planning to marry, but their relationship suddenly soured, leading to their separation. During the promotion of *Singham Again*, when fans started chanting &#8220;Malaika! Malaika!&#8221; upon Arjun&#8217;s arrival, he promptly declared, &#8220;I am single.&#8221; Now, in an interview with ETimes, Malaika Arora has expressed her displeasure. She stated, &#8220;I have always preferred not to discuss my personal life on public platforms. Whatever Arjun said is his prerogative.&#8221; Even after all this time, Malaika hasn&#8217;t revealed the reason behind their split. Fans are reacting differently to this.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora&#8217;s Love Story Began in 2018</h2>



<p>One social media user wrote, &#8220;Malaika ji, Arjun ji has spoken his mind to his fans; what&#8217;s the problem for you?&#8221; Another wrote, &#8220;Arjun ji, you are a true person, and it is always the good and true people who suffer.&#8221; It&#8217;s worth noting that Malaika Arora divorced actor Arbaaz Khan in 2017 and began dating Arjun Kapoor in 2018. The couple publicly confirmed their relationship in 2019.</p>

'Baby John' Flops at the Box Office on Opening Day


<p><strong>Baby John Box Office Collection Day 1:</strong> Varun Dhawan&#8217;s film, <i>Baby John</i>, which was released on 25th December (Wednesday), had been eagerly awaited by his fans. The first-day collection is now out, and it has shocked everyone. It&#8217;s hard to believe how the film could prove to be such a flop on its opening day. The film also features a cameo by Salman Khan, which was well-received by fans, but <i>Baby John</i> failed to live up to expectations. The collection of Varun Dhawan&#8217;s film is even lower than his previous film, <i>Kalank</i>. According to <strong>Sacnilk</strong> data, the film <i>Baby John</i> was significantly outperformed by <i>Pushpa 2</i> on its opening day.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Baby John&#8217;s First-Day Box Office Collection</h2>



<p>Fans had high hopes for <i>Baby John</i>. Everyone expected this film from Varun Dhawan, after becoming a father, to be spectacular, but both the makers and fans are disappointed with the first-day earnings. According to <strong>Sacnilk</strong> data, the film <i>Baby John</i> managed to gross only ₹12.50 crore on its first day, 25th December (Wednesday). Meanwhile, <i>Pushpa 2</i> collected ₹19.75 crore on Christmas Day – its 21st day of release – significantly exceeding <i>Baby John&#8217;s</i> opening day collection.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Baby John Fails to Meet Expectations</h2>



<p><i>Baby John</i> is directed by director Kalij, who has only directed one film before. The success of <i>Baby John</i> was crucial for Kalij. However, the makers and fans hope the film will perform better over the weekend. The budget of <i>Baby John</i> is reportedly ₹180 crore.</p>

Award the Khel Ratna if you wish, but we won&#39;t apply,&quot; says Manu Bhaker&#39;s father Ram Kishan Bhaker.


<p>The exclusion of young shooter Manu Bhaker, a double bronze medallist at the Paris 2024 Olympics, from the list of potential recipients of the upcoming Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award has ignited controversy. Reports suggest that Bhaker&#8217;s name is absent from the tentative list of awardees for this year&#8217;s sports awards. Although the list is yet to be officially released, sources within the Ministry of Sports claim that Bhaker&#8217;s name was not included because she did not submit a nomination.</p>



<p>Commenting on this controversy, Manu Bhaker&#8217;s father, Ram Kishan Bhaker, told &#8216;Patrika&#8217; that if the Ministry of Sports is proud of his daughter&#8217;s achievements, they should award her the Khel Ratna. He stated that he would not be applying for the award.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Father Alleges Bureaucratic Discretion in Selection Committee</h2>



<p>While media reports claimed that Manu Bhaker had submitted her name for the Khel Ratna, her father categorically denied this. He asserted, &#8220;I can confidently say that none of the previous Khel Ratna recipients applied for the award. What is the need? Whether you apply or not, the award is given at the discretion of the committee, which is dominated by bureaucrats.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Selection Process</h2>



<p>1. Until a few years ago, a player&#8217;s nomination was submitted by their federation. If the federation failed to submit a nomination, the player could submit their own. However, federations have now been removed from this process.</p>



<p>2. Now, players must submit their nominations to the award committee. This committee then decides which players will receive the awards.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Composition of the Selection Committee</h2>



<p>The 12-member committee&#8217;s chairperson is appointed by the Ministry of Sports. The committee comprises four former Olympians, three sports journalists, one sports administrator, one official from SAI (Sports Authority of India), one para-sports athlete, and one sports expert.</p>


<p>The exclusion of Manu Bhaker from the list of nominees for the upcoming Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award has sparked controversy. Speaking to ‘Patrika’, Manu Bhaker&#8217;s father, Ram Kishan Bhaker, stated that they will not apply for the award, adding that they would accept it if offered, but would not actively pursue it.</p>
