Prime Minister <keyword id="19898713" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Justin-Trudeau" source="keywords">Justin Trudeau</keyword> on Monday condemned the attack on a Hindu temple in <keyword id="20264025" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Brampton" source="keywords">Brampton</keyword> by alleged <keyword id="22030864" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Khalistani-extremists" source="keywords">Khalistani extremists</keyword> and said that every Canadian has the right to practice their faith freely and safely.

Taking to X, Trudeau thanked the local authorities for the swift response to protect the community and probe this incident. "The acts of violence at the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton today are unacceptable. Every Canadian has the right to practice their faith freely and safely. Thank you to the Peel Regional Police for swiftly responding to protect the community and investigate this incident," Trudeau said in a post on X on Monday. Peel Regional Police said on X Sunday afternoon that they were aware of the protest taking place at the Hindu Sabha Mandir, and had increased its presence at the temple to maintain public order and safety. "We respect the right to protest in a peaceful and safe manner but will not tolerate violence and criminal acts," Chief Nishan Duraiappah posted on X Sunday after the videos began circulating. "Those that do participate in this activity will be pursued, arrested and charged." Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown condemned the violence in a post on X Sunday afternoon, saying those responsible should be punished to the greatest extent of the law. "I am disappointed to hear about acts of violence outside of the Hindu Sabha," he said. "<keyword id="20114410" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="religious-freedom" source="keywords">Religious freedom</keyword> is a foundational value in <keyword id="19896882" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Canada" source="keywords">Canada</keyword>.

The recent attack on the Hindu Sabha temple in Brampton witnessed widespread condemnation by Canadian politicians, including opposition leader <keyword id="19921238" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Pierre-Poilievre" source="keywords">Pierre Poilievre</keyword>. "Completely unacceptable to see violence targeting worshippers at the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton today. All Canadians should be free to practice their faith in peace. Conservatives condemn this violence unequivocally. I will unite our people and end the chaos," Poilievre said on X. Meanwhile, the High Commission of India in Ottawa also issued a strong statement on Monday condemning the recent attack on Brampton's Hindu Sabha temple by "anti-India" elements. This incident disrupted a consular event co-organised by the Hindu Sabha Mandir and the Indian consulate. In its statement, the High Commission remarked, "We have seen violent disruption today (November 3), orchestrated by anti-India elements outside the consular camp co-organised with the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton, near Toronto." The statement further added, "We also remain very concerned for the safety of applicants, including Indian nationals, on whose demand such events are organised in the first place. Despite these efforts by anti-India elements, our Consulate was able to issue more than 1000 life certificates to the Indian and Canadian applicants..." The relations between India and Canada came under severe strain following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations in September last year of a "potential" involvement of Indian agents in Khalistan extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar's killing. New Delhi rejected Trudeau's charges as "absurd". India has been maintaining that the main issue between the two countries is that of Canada giving space to pro-Khalistan elements operating from Canadian soil with impunity.

The session will take place between 6 pm and 7 pm. The trade modification window will close at 7:10 pm. A special pre-open session will also commence between 5:45 pm and 6:30 pm for IPO-bound stocks, while the closing session will take place between 7:10 pm and 7:20 pm. Many believe that trading at the start of the new Samvat or during the muhurat is auspicious since it heralds prosperity and financial well-being for the traders. Also, Hindus believe Diwali to be an opportune time to start anything new. The market will remain closed for regular trading on Diwali, which falls on Friday, i.e., November 1, 2024, this year. Before this muhurat trading session, a 15-minute pre-opening session will also take place between 5:45 pm and 6 pm. However, intraday traders and scalpers will have to exercise extra caution since all intraday positions will be automatically squared off 15 minutes before the market closes. Since the trading window is only open for an hour, markets will largely be volatile. The focus during such sessions is generally not on profitability but on the inherent gesture. Trading would take place across various segments like equity, commodity derivatives, currency derivatives, equity futures &amp; options, and securities lending &amp; borrowing (SLB) in the same time slot. Historically, these sessions have delivered positive returns for investors. Media reports note that of the past 17 muhurat sessions, the <keyword id="19950208" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bse-sensex" source="keywords">BSE Sensex</keyword> has closed higher on 13 of them. Since 2012, the country has seen 12 muhurat sessions, with the <keyword id="19896382" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sensex" source="keywords">Sensex</keyword> inching up on 9 of those occasions. Last year, the Sensex rose by 355 points during the muhurat trading session. Between 2014 and 2023, the Sensex had ended muhurat trading session in reds just twice, in 2017, where it dipped by 0.04%, and 2018, where it fell by 0.6%. But this positivity does not hold for the period that immediately follows the muhurat trading session, with data suggesting that Sensex has seen dips during 7 out of 11 such periods.

About 23 premises in cities of Rajkot, Junagadh, Ahmedabad, Bhavnagar and Veraval were being raided by the federal agency after a case was filed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the sources said. Premises linked to arrested journalist <keyword id="23517167" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mahesh-Langa" source="keywords">Mahesh Langa</keyword>, who works with <keyword id="21256671" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="The-Hindu" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="The Hindu" meta.hostid="83" meta.entityid="The Hindu">The Hindu</keyword> newspaper, were also being covered. The money laundering case stems from an FIR of the Ahmedabad Police Crime Branch. The city Crime Branch registered the FIR against several persons and entities after getting a complaint from the Central GST over an alleged scam involving shell firms set up to defraud the government through <keyword id="23577822" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bogus-input-tax-credits" source="keywords">bogus input tax credits</keyword> and fraudulent transactions. Langa along with seven others was arrested after the Central GST found some suspicious transactions in bogus firms floated in the name of his wife and father using forged documents. After the registration of the FIR, the Crime Branch and Gujarat's Economic Offences Wing raided 14 locations across the state, including in Ahmedabad, Junagadh, Surat, Kheda and Bhavnagar. According to the Crime Branch, more than 200 fraudulently created firms worked across the country in an organised manner to defraud the government exchequer by availing bogus input tax credits and forged documents and identities were used to create these firms for tax evasion.

Although our multicultural identities initially presented challenges, they also brought us closer together.From the moment we first spoke on the phone three years ago and met the next day, it was clear that we were meant to be. Our shared values, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/millennials-struggling-absurdist-gen-z-humor-memes-2023-8">sense of humor</a>, and desire to treat others with kindness made everything else seem insignificant.<h2 id="fc25f697-46f1-415f-a344-e74095fbc3b0">We realized our cultural differences quickly</h2>As we grew closer, we realized how different we were, leading us to have some deep and intense conversations. My upbringing in Punjabi culture — with its vibrant traditions, music, and cuisine — contrasts sharply with Katy's American experience. While <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cultural-differences-between-us-europe-american-traveler-2024-2">American culture</a> often feels less rooted to her, Katy appreciates Indian food and is eager to learn Punjabi, encouraging me to speak it more. This mutual respect for each other's cultures has eased our blending process.Despite our shared enthusiasm for each other's traditions, we've faced challenges with the smaller details. For instance, in <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/i-moved-back-to-india-after-living-abroad-for-decade-2024-9">Indian culture</a>, it's common to stay with one's parents until marriage, while in American culture, independence is often encouraged from a young age. This difference has taught me to admire Katy's resilience and independence — qualities I deeply respect.<div type="image" title="Kaajal Nanda and her wife in their wedding dresses" height="1367" width="2048" msid="114174992" hostid="261" sizebytes="260150"></div><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/planned-wedding-never-happened-not-doing-it-again-2024-7">Our wedding</a> was a beautiful representation of all of this blending. We incorporated elements from both cultures: an American ceremony conducted by a close friend, an Indian DJ with drummers who played a mixture of Indian and American music, and American food. This compromise showcased our diverse backgrounds and reinforced our commitment to creating a harmonious life together.<h2 id="682376c0-f167-4b0d-9173-86f50070de2c">We sometimes run into issues with our different faiths</h2>Our differing <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/religious-american-companies-2017-10">religious beliefs</a> have also presented challenges. As a Hindu, I don't eat beef, while Katy, having grown up in a culture where beef is common, enjoys it. We've navigated this by respecting each other's preferences. While I don't stop her from eating beef in front of me, she respects my preferences by choosing not to eat it when I'm around and enjoying it outside the home instead. This thoughtful compromise has strengthened our mutual respect.Another challenge was reconciling our differing views on the afterlife. Initially, it was difficult to accept that Katy's beliefs included the idea of non-believers going to hell. However, I realized that since I don't share this belief, it shouldn't impact our relationship.Over time, Katy has also come to understand that my beliefs are valid, and we've found common ground in our <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/couple-love-for-fitness-better-parents-2024-10">shared values</a>.One aspect where we are fortunate is that patriarchy, a significant issue in both our cultures, doesn't impact us as a lesbian couple. This has allowed us to avoid some of the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/want-be-tradwife-traditional-wife-marriage-homemaker-life-meaning-2024-3">traditional gender dynamics</a> that can complicate relationships.<h2 id="997a1e59-7749-4be7-948c-0eb0745f06ce">We have learned the importance of open communication</h2>Through regular, open discussions about our differences, we've discovered that our core values align closely. We both strive to show love and kindness, serve others generously, and remain authentic. These shared values are the foundation of our relationship and have helped us overcome any challenges.Ultimately, our love for each other bridges our cultural and religious differences. It's this love that holds us together and makes our <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/benefits-of-diverse-companies-2017-3">diverse backgrounds</a> an asset rather than a hurdle. Our journey has shown us that embracing and respecting each other's cultures can create a life filled with joy, understanding, and unity.

Earlier the maximum punishment provided for those found guilty of marrying a woman by deceiving her and converting her religion was 10 years with a fine of Rs 50,000. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Suresh Khanna introduced the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion (Amendment) Bill, 2024 in the House on Monday. It has been proposed that if a person threatens, attacks, marries or promises to marry or conspires for it, or trafficks a woman, minor or anyone with the intention of conversion, then his crime will be placed in the most serious category. In such cases, there is a provision of 20 years imprisonment or life imprisonment. Under the amended provisions, now any person can register an FIR in conversion cases. Earlier, to give information or complaint about the case, the presence of the victim, her parents, or siblings was necessary. It has been proposed that such cases will not be heard by any court below the Sessions Court and along with this, the bail plea will not be considered without giving an opportunity to the public prosecutor. Also, all the crimes under the amended Act have been made non-bailable.

The BJP leaders accused the Congress MP "of speaking lies, misleading the House and terming the entire <keyword id="20157361" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hindu-community" source="keywords">Hindu community</keyword> violent". The Congress hit back with counter-allegations against the Modi government. Rahul Gandhi invoked Lord Shiva, Prophet Mohammad, Guru Nanak, Jesus Christ, Lord Budha and Lord Mahavir, saying that he had taken the idea of fearlessness from their teachings. <keyword id="19899320" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="PM-Modi" source="keywords">PM Modi</keyword> slammed Rahul Gandhi during his speech. "Calling the entire Hindu community violent is a very serious matter," the Prime Minister said. Home Minister Amit Shah demanded an apology from Rahul Gandhi. While the BJP held a press conference later to denounce Rahul Gandhi's remarks, Congress also held an evening press conference to slam the ruling party at the Centre. Among the portions of Rahul Gandhi's Lok Sabha speech that got expunged were his accusations against the BJP, stating that the party was treating minorities unfairly and perpetrating violence. Portions of the Congress MP's remarks on industrialists Adand Ambani and on the Agniveer Scheme were also expunged. Dismissing Rahul Gandhi's claims on violence against minorities, Dilip Mandal a prominent Dalit voice, claimed that the last decade was the "most peaceful time for India since independence" as he compared the governance under the Congress party. "During his address, Rahul Gandhi made an objectionable statement that a lot of atrocities are happening against Muslims and Christians in India. I believe that the numbers don't suggest this. The last 10 years have been the most peaceful time for India after independence if you see the numbers," Dilip Mandal told ANI. "During the Congress regime, so many riots used to happen, if you compare that in the last 10 years, only two major communal riot incidents have happened, Delhi and Manipur. So the scale has reduced...riots don't last long now," he said. Mandal alleged Gandhi's remarks as an attempt "to scare investors" and added that the Congress party is "again trying to appease" Muslims. "This is an attempt to scare the investors and it will affect India. Congress is again trying to appease Muslims. He is thinking of getting the Muslim votes, especially the Muslim votes of Bihar and UP, from SP and RJD," Mandal said.

With a budget of approximately 600 crore rupees and a star-studded cast, Kalki offers a glimpse into a world teetering on the brink. The film takes inspiration from <keyword id="19982997" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hindu-mythology" source="keywords">Hindu mythology</keyword>, with Kalki, the 10th incarnation of Vishnu, destined to restore balance during humanity's darkest hour. Directed by <keyword id="19982503" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Nag-Ashwin" source="keywords">Nag Ashwin</keyword>, Kalki 2898 AD features <keyword id="19897073" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Prabhas" source="keywords">Prabhas</keyword> in the titular role. Joining him on this epic journey are legendary actors <keyword id="19927390" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Deepika-Padukone" source="keywords">Deepika Padukone</keyword>, <keyword id="19898963" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amitabh-Bachchan" source="keywords">Amitabh Bachchan</keyword>, Kamal Haasan and Disha Patani. Kalki promises a grand visual experience, transporting viewers to a world unlike anything seen before in Indian cinema. In fact, Prabhas himself bragged about the film's global appeal, stating in a recent interview that Kalki 2898 AD is "made for international [audiences]. With its high production value, stellar cast, and epic storyline, the film has the potential to be a true game-changer for Indian cinema on the world stage. The visual effects and attention to detail in the film are garnering a lot of accolades. Viewers are also very excited about Deepika and Amitabh dubbing the Telugu lines themselves! However, there’s been mixed reviews about the trailer so far — the dialogue delivery, in particular. <div type="twitter" handle="Kshamik4" handlename="Kshamik4" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1800167915133730926"></div>Apart from these concerns, many are also wondering if the main characters are somewhat typecast — which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. After the mind-boggling success that the Bahubali franchise saw, Prabhas was dubbed the first pan-Indian star. Since then, the actor has delivered several films with openings that crossed a whopping 100 crore rupees. Prabhas does seem committed to the whole high stakes but visually appealing genre (think Saaho or Adipurush), but the schtick doesn’t seem to be doing him any favours, as almost all of his movies since Bahubali haven’t really succeeded, some fans pointed out. <div type="twitter" handle="SumitkadeI" handlename="SumitkadeI" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1800221570310279530"></div>Now that the Telugu star is attempting another such film, we can only hope that he will be able to redeem himself and this particular genre. Then comes Deepika Padukone! While the global star is no-doubt a superb addition to the movie, the soon-to-be mother has taken mothering to a whole new level. Displaying a noticeable baby bump in the trailer of Kalki, Deepika has jogged our memory with her other recent performances in a maternal role. In Brahmastra Part One: Shiva, she assumed the role of Shiva’s (played by Ranbir Kapoor) mother. And in Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawan, she played King Khan’s mother as well! But the question that remains is if Deepika deliberately chooses to play more significant maternal characters or is this merely a coincidence? <div type="twitter" handle="htcity" handlename="htcity" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1800512346248651239"></div>And now that we think about it, isn’t veteran legend Amitabh Bhachan also seems to be playing a character rather similar to the one he played in Brahmastra — that of a sage and wise old mythological guru with a purpose? In Kalki, Amitabh Bachchan is playing the character of Ashwatthama, who played an important role in the Mahabharata. Anyhoo, we’re very excited to see how these actors, along with the rest of the talented cast, perform. This ambitious project is being produced by <keyword id="20291210" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vyjayanthi-Movies" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Vyjayanthi Movies" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Vyjayanthi Movies">Vyjayanthi Movies</keyword> and is set to be released worldwide on June 27. Audiences can expect a spectacle across theatres, with the film releasing in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and English. The story, however, is even bigger. Due to the extensive amount of footage shot, the makers have decided to release the film in two parts. This ensures that every crucial scene and character gets the spotlight they deserve.

Kalki 2898 AD’s trailer is out and the film looks grand. But have Prabhas, Deepika & Amitabh been typecast?

For as long as we can remember, <keyword id="19935846" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="science" source="keywords">science</keyword> and <keyword id="19969367" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="religion" source="keywords">religion</keyword> have been at a clash on what constitutes the truth. While centuries of scientific pursuit have quelled the debate on some matters, many other unsolved topics — such as the creation of our universe — still remain a hotbed of conflict among the two groups. Oftentimes, science is misrepresented or outright rejected in service of deeply ingrained convictions. It's a scene all too common: the outspoken aunt in family WhatsApp groups championing religious doctrine over scientific consensus, or the insidious infiltration of <keyword id="4874838" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="political-propaganda" source="Orion">political propaganda</keyword> casting doubt on established facts. But what factors truly drive this rejection? A groundbreaking study has delved into this intricate web of religion, tolerance, and science denial with the following hypothesis: individuals who are intolerant of other religions are more inclined to reject scientific tenets. This is based on the idea that such groups may view science as a competing belief system rather than a complementary avenue of understanding. In order to measure “religious tolerance”, the research settled on using local <keyword id="21506716" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="religious-diversity" source="keywords">religious diversity</keyword> as an indicator. The rationale being that tolerance thrives in areas with religious diversity, which fosters an environment where differing viewpoints are embraced rather than shunned. They then looked at how these variously religiously diverse groups engaged with science, as evidenced through the efforts of seven studies. One such study surveyed Hindus in India, Muslims in Pakistan and Christians in the United States. It found that groups that espoused <keyword id="21389640" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="intolerance" source="keywords">intolerance</keyword> towards other religions often denied science as well. Not only did these intolerant participants disagree with science when it conflicted with their own religion, but they also expressed a general disapproval of scientific recommendations, such as in the administration of <keyword id="20849375" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="COVID-vaccinations" source="keywords">COVID vaccinations</keyword>. In fact, another compelling study found that during the tumultuous days of the early COVID-19 pandemic, religious intolerant counties in the United States socially distanced less, even after accounting for the percentage of religious adherents within each county. These groups were also less likely to get the COVID vaccine, highlighting the complicated relationship between <keyword id="21506718" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="religious-tolerance" source="keywords">religious tolerance</keyword> and public health compliance. On the contrary, the study found that countries boasting higher religious diversity often emerged as champions of scientific literacy. Scores on the Program for International Student Assessment — a test that measures science and math performance among 15-year-olds — soared in nations where religious plurality thrived. Furthermore, the World Values Survey showed that areas with less religious diversity were more likely to assert that religion is a better guide to uncovering the truth than science. In a world divided by strong opinions and closed-off groups that reinforce their own beliefs, this study urges us to welcome diversity. By embracing different perspectives, we can appreciate faith and reason, moving beyond any potential limitations imposed by politics and religion.
