Jhooth Ki Goonj: Website Seeks To Fact-Check Rahul's Student Outreach Claims
A new website seeks to fact-check claims made by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi during his student outreach campaign 'Chhatro Ki Goonj' over the past few months. Named 'Jhooth Ki Goonj' and reportedly built by a Gen Z creator, the website claims that out of the 40 statements made by Gandhi at his four events, 29 were false and 11 were misleading. Neither Congress nor Gandhi has responded to the allegations. Gandhi had made the claims covering government jobs, unemployment, education, and rape cases in Dehradun, Kota, Prayagraj, and Pune between June 17 and August 22. Using an interactive map, the website shows the number of claims made in these four cities.

Raksha Bandhan in Kashmir: A Festival That Travelled with People
Raksha Bandhan arrives every year with the full moon of Shravan, carrying with it a simple yet profound messagethe bond of protection, affection and responsibility between human beings. Across India, the festival is most commonly associated with the relationship between a brother and sister. A sister ties the sacred thread around her brothers wrist, offers a prayer for his well-being, and the brother, in return, promises to stand by her. Yet, like many Indian festivals, Raksha Bandhan has meanings that go far beyond the ritual itself. For the Kashmiri Pandit community, its significance is inseparable from the memories of a homeland where festivals were woven into the ordinary fabric of life. Yes, Kashmiri Pandits did observe Raksha Bandhan in Kashmir. It was not necessarily among the most prominent festivals of the Kashmiri Hindu calendar in the manner of Herath, Navreh or other distinctly Kashmiri observances, but Shravan Purnima and the sacred-thread tradition were familiar parts of religious and family life. The celebration existed within the larger spiritual culture of Kashmir, where festivals were rarely merely social occasions. They were expressions of faith, family, community and continuity. For a Kashmiri Pandit growing up in the Valley, the festival would not have stood apart from the rhythms of everyday life. The house, the courtyard, the neighbourhood and the extended family were all part of the celebration. Festivals were experienced collectively. Relatives visited one another, children moved from house to house, elders blessed the younger generation, and food became another language through which affection was expressed. The ritual itself might have been brief, but the emotions surrounding it could remain in the memory for decades. This is what makes the recollection of Raksha Bandhan particularly moving for those Kashmiri Pandits who left the Valley. Migration did not merely mean leaving behind houses, orchards, fields and ancestral property. It also meant leaving behind a particular way of celebrating life. Festivals had been attached to places. A particular courtyard had witnessed a particular Raksha Bandhan. A sister had tied a rakhi to her brother in a room whose walls had absorbed generations of family conversations. An elderly grandmother had blessed the children. A mother had prepared something special for the occasion. A neighbour had arrived unannounced. These seemingly insignificant moments eventually became the fragments from which the memory of an entire homeland was reconstructed. This is perhaps the deeper meaning of festivals in the life of a displaced community. When people lose their physical landscape, rituals often become their portable homeland. A festival can travel where a house cannot. A prayer can survive when an ancestral courtyard has been abandoned. A family tradition can cross mountains and generations without requiring a piece of land. Raksha Bandhan therefore acquired an additional emotional dimension for many Kashmiri Pandit families after their migration. It became not simply a celebration of the brother-sister relationship but also a reminder of the world that once existed around that relationship. The thread tied on a brothers wrist could evoke memories of a Kashmir that had been left behind. There is an important distinction, however, between the traditional observance of Raksha Bandhan among Kashmiri Pandits and the highly commercialised version of the festival that has become increasingly visible in contemporary India. In Kashmir, the sacred-thread tradition existed within a religious and cultural framework shaped by the unique practices of Kashmiri Hindu society. The modern rakhiwith elaborate gifts, advertisements, social-media celebrations and commercial packagingis only one contemporary expression of a much older tradition. The word raksha itself carries a meaning far deeper than the exchange of gifts. Protection is not necessarily a one-way obligation from brother to sister. In the older civilisational understanding, protection is reciprocal. Families protect one another; communities protect their traditions; elders protect memories; and younger generations protect what has been handed down to them. A sacred thread can therefore become a symbol of responsibility rather than merely a decorative object. This understanding becomes particularly meaningful in the Kashmiri Pandit context. A community that experienced displacement had to protect something more fragile than property: its collective memory. Language, rituals, cuisine, religious practices, festivals, family stories and ancestral memories all became part of a cultural inheritance that needed to be carried forward. The Kashmiri Pandit calendar itself contains many distinctive festivals and observances that developed within the Valley's particular cultural environment. Herath, for example, occupies an extraordinary place in Kashmiri Pandit consciousness. Navreh marks the Kashmiri New Year and carries associations with renewal and continuity. There are numerous other observances connected with particular seasons, deities and local traditions. Raksha Bandhan therefore should not be presented as though it historically occupied exactly the same position in Kashmiri Pandit life as it did in every other part of northern India. Its place was real, but its cultural expression was shaped by Kashmir's own religious universe. What is remarkable is how such traditions survived geographical separation. A child who grew up in Jammu, Delhi, Dehradun or another city after migration could still participate in Raksha Bandhan without ever having experienced the Kashmir of his or her parents. The festival thus became a bridge between generations. Parents could tell their children how festivals were observed in Kashmir. Grandparents could recall relatives who were no longer there. Old photographs could emerge from cupboards. Names of villages and neighbourhoods could become part of family conversations. In this manner, a simple thread could become an instrument of remembrance. The younger generation may not always understand the emotional weight carried by such memories. For them, Raksha Bandhan may simply mean a rakhi, sweets, gifts and a family gathering. But for those who remember Kashmir before migration, the festival can contain another layer of meaning. It can take them back to a time when distance between relatives was measured not in hundreds of kilometres but in a short walk from one house to another. There is also a wider lesson here about Kashmiri culture. Kashmir has often been described through its mountains, lakes, gardens, poetry and mysticism. But the real culture of a people resides equally in its small ritualsthe way a lamp is lit, the way elders are greeted, the food prepared on a particular day, the words spoken during a ceremony, and the manner in which one generation passes something to another. When people are displaced, these small things become enormously important. A culture does not disappear simply because its people leave a particular geographical space. It disappears when its memories cease to be transmitted. This is why the continuation of festivals among Kashmiri Pandits matters. Every observance becomes an act of cultural preservation. Every child who learns why a festival is celebrated becomes a link in a chain that stretches backwards into history. Raksha Bandhan, in this sense, can be seen as one of those threadsnot merely the thread tied around the wrist, but the invisible thread connecting generations. It connects the sister with the brother, the child with the parent, the present with the past, and the displaced family with the homeland that continues to live in memory. There is something profoundly poetic about this. The physical thread is small and fragile. It can be broken with almost no effort. Yet the idea represented by it can survive decades of separation. A house can be locked. An orchard can be abandoned. A village can become distant. But a ritual remembered by a family can continue to exist. For Kashmiri Pandits, therefore, Raksha Bandhan is not only about asking who will protect whom. It can also prompt a larger question: who will protect the memories of the culture that our ancestors entrusted to us? Perhaps the answer lies with every generation. The brother and sister who exchange a rakhi today may not know all the stories associated with the festival's past. But if they preserve the ritual, tell their children about it, remember how their parents celebrated it and connect it with the wider cultural heritage of Kashmir, they are doing something far greater than observing a festival. They are keeping alive a fragment of a civilisation. And perhaps this is why festivals become especially precious after displacement. In one's homeland, traditions can sometimes be taken for granted because they surround us everywhere. In exile, their value becomes clearer. A festival becomes a doorway through which one can briefly return to a lost world. Raksha Bandhan will once again arrive with the full moon of Shravan. Sisters will tie threads, brothers will offer gifts, families will gather and sweets will be exchanged. But for many Kashmiri Pandits, somewhere beneath these familiar celebrations there may also be another, quieter ritualthe remembering of Kashmir. A Kashmir of homes, courtyards, grandparents, siblings, neighbours and festivals. A Kashmir that may have been left physically behind, but which continues to live in memory. And perhaps that is the most enduring raksha of all:the protection of memory itself. (The writer can be reached at: sanjaypanditasp@gmail.com )

Dehradun T20 League: As Uttarakhand prepares for its biggest franchise cricket showcase, a senior cricket administrator has hailed the inaugural Dehradun T20 League 2026 as a transformative milestone that will reshape the pathway for grassroots cricketers across the state. Speaking about the vision behind the league and its impact on the regions youth, former Vice-President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and former secretary of the Cricket Association of Uttarakhand Mahim Verma emphasised that the tournament was built specifically to bridge the gap between local talent and professional cricket. Our main goal with the Dehradun T20 League is to give our boys the kind of environment that speeds up their growth. Uttarakhand has no shortage of raw talent, but what our young players needed was a high-exposure platform where they could test themselves under pressure, learn professional match standards, and get noticed, Verma said. The tournament, scheduled to run from September 2 to 9 at the Abhimanyu Cricket Academy in Dehradun, will see six franchise teamsRishikesh Dragons, Doiwala Kings, Mussoorie Thunder, Herbertpur Knightriders, Vikasnagar Dhamaka, and Selaqui Strikerscompete over 18 high intensity matches. Echoing this vision, Navneet Mishra, CEO of the Dehradun T20 League, highlighted the operational excellence and long-term ecosystem being created for the players. We haven't spared any effort in making sure this league matches the highest professional standards in terms of infrastructure, broadcast, and player facilities. Our focus is to create an ecosystem where young athletes feel valued and inspired to perform at their absolute best. Seeing the enthusiasm from players and franchises alike gives us complete confidence that this league will become a cornerstone for cricket development in the region, Mishra stated. For many emerging players in the state, the league offers an unprecedented opportunity to rub shoulders with experienced coaches and match-winners, providing them with lessons that go far beyond a single week of cricket. When an 18- or 19-year-old kid shares a dugout with established domestic names, their entire perspective changes. They learn how to handle big-match pressure, how to prepare mentally, and how to carry themselves as professionals. That exposure is priceless, and it will give them the confidence to perform at higher levels of Indian cricket, Verma added.

Dehradun T20 Leagues Goal Is To Provide An Environment That Speeds Up Their Growth: Mahim Verma
Dehradun T20 League: Former BCCI vice-president and former Cricket Association of Uttarakhand secretary Mahim Verma believes the inaugural Dehradun T20 League 2026 will provide a crucial platform for young cricketers in the state, offering them greater exposure and an opportunity to develop in a professional competitive environment.

A total of 18 matches will be played during the competition.

They learn how to handle big-match pressure, how to prepare mentally, and how to carry themselves as professionals.

All 18 matches, including 15 league fixtures, two semi-finals and the final, will provide the tournament and its players a wider audience.

Prize awarded at Sandhurst in memory of
Rani Reena Kumar was at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst on Friday last week (7) to offer her personal congratulations to a British soldier who had won the annual prize that she has set up in her fathers name. Staff Sergeant G Blackwell, 34, from the Royal Engineers, has won this years Major General Diwan Misri Chand Prize. The programme for the Sovereigns Parade said that the special prize is awarded to the individual, platoon or company that has demonstrated outstanding innovation and purpose, character and boldness through the course. The Major General Misri Chand Prize is presented in memory of the late Major General Diwan Misri Chand, RMC Sandhurst and 1/14 Punjab Regiment. Misri Chand was rather a dashing officer who was commissioned at Sandhurst in 1927. He was born in Dehradun on 11 October 1907 and died on 13 March 1970. His skills as the Indian flying ace and deeds of derring-do in the North-West Frontier and the Indo-Pakistan war of 1948 were also recognised by the Indian Post Office which issued a stamp in his honour in 2009. He received his early education at the Prince of Wales Royal Indian Military College in Dehradun, before going to Sandhurst. After passing out from Sandhurst in 1927, he joined the British Indian army. According to his biography, he learned to fly with the Bombay Flying Club, becoming one of the first Indians to get a pilots licence. He won the 1936 Viceroys Cup Air Race flying from Madras to Delhi in a hired Club Gipsy Moth, and became the first Indian permitted to compete in the Kings Cup Air Race in England in 1936. He flew a Percival Vega Gull G-AEAB, paired with Lt Patrick Randolph of the Grenadier Guards. He gained international fame in 1936 when he won the Viceroys Cup Air Race at the helm of a de Havilland DH.60 Moth biplane. He was admitted as a member of the elite Royal Aero Club alongside J R D Tata, and later the United Services Club in UK. British Sikh Association members visited Sandhurst in July 2016 Amit Roy At the Sovereigns Parade, 198 UK officer cadets were commissioned as British Army officers. The parade marked the competition of 44 weeks of intensive training for the officer cadets. The sword of honour was awarded to the officer cadet considered by the Commander to be the best of the intake. It was won in 1993 by Charles Roland Vincent Walker, who is now General Sir Charles Roland Vincent Walker KCB DSO ADC GEN, Chief of the General Staff. He represented King Charles at the Sovereigns Parade on Friday, took the salute, and, following tradition at the conclusion of the ceremony, went up the Academy steps and entered the building on a horse. Sandhurst also allows the British to exercise its soft power. Along with the local recruits, there was also overseas representation with 40 international cadets from 31 countries, including Bangladesh, Nepal, Oman, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates and Uganda. India does not need to send cadets for training in Britain because it has its own Indian Military Academy (IMA), which was established very much along the lines of Sandhurst on October 1, 1932. That might be one explanation why the Indian army has been very professional and kept out of politics unlike its counterparts in Pakistan, Bangladesh and many other countries all over the world. At the conclusion of the Sovereigns Parade on Friday, Rani Reena, a former member of the Legislative Assembly in Uttar Pradesh and also a former energy minister, and Staff Sergeant Blackwell chatted to each other and to Eastern Eye . Blackwell said: This prize is awarded to me for daring innovation, and is (named) after the Princesss father, who went above and beyond (duty) and was very brave to do things which required a thought process. It was given to me for developing defence infrastructure, and additionally for countering ariel moving targets. I will stay at Sandhurst for another year, and then I will move back to my home unit which is in 16 Brigade (the British Armys global response force). From left Staff Sergeant G Blackwell chatting informally to Rani Reena Kumari Amit Roy Rani Reena found the Sovereigns Parade, which she was attending for the first time, very impressive lovely. Rani Reena belongs to the royal families of Labhowa and Sahaspur-Bilari, which are connected through marriage. Raja Pratap Singh Jhala of the Labhowa estate (in Uttar Pradeshs Firozabad district) is married to Rani Reena Kumari (or Reena Singh), the daughter of the late Rani Indra Mohini and Dewan Major-General Misri Chand of Sahaspur-Bilari. Rani Reena said: I was the one who instituted the award in 2011. My father was a Kings Commissioned Officer in the Indian army. He passed out in 1927, so next year they will be marking his centenary. I was very young when he died but I dug out all his records which I found, and then contacted Sandhurst. They went through his records and found he was one of their top cadets here (at Sandhurst). The prize is now given every year. As she learnt more about her father, she discovered he loved Sandhurst. He had his best time here, the best days of his life here in the army. Sandhurst taught him a lot. It made me feel nice to come here, connecting with this place. He was a daredevil. He never flew for the army but he held a flying record for 17 years. She said that the Indian army has acquired many British values. We were a colony of the British. The whole IMA (Indian Military Academy) is based on a very similar pattern (to Sandhurst). Gen Walker takes the salute Amit Roy Gen Walker takes the salute Amit Roy Five cadets march with perfect timing Amit Roy Cadets march to their positions Amit Roy The motto of the Indian Military Academy is Veerta aur Vivek, which translates to Valour and Wisdom. At Sandhurst, it is Serve to Lead. The IMA began life in 1922 when the Prince of Wales Royal Indian Military College was set up in Dehradun to prepare young Indians for admission to Sandhurst. It became the Indian Military Academy in 1932, and the Indian Military Rashtriya Indian Military College or just RIMC after independence but in 1960, the name, Indian Military Academy, was reinstated. A trainee on admission to IMA is referred to as a gentleman cadet (GC). One reason for this is that the IMA expects its graduates to uphold the highest moral and ethical values. it focuses on rigorous physical, mental, and leadership development to mould young men into commissioned military officers. It concentrates on character building, physical fitness, military tactics, and leadership under stress. Gen Walker enters the academy on a horse Amit Roy Inscribed in the oak panelling at the eastern entrance of the Chetwode Hall is the academys credo, excerpted from the speech of Field Marshal Chetwode at the inauguration of the IMA in 1932: The safety, honour and welfare of your country come first, always and every time. The honour, welfare and comfort of the men you command come next. Your own ease, comfort, and safety come last, always and every time. The values inculcated into young officers at Sandhurst are almost identical. On Friday at Sandhurst, in his stirring address to the Officer cadets, Gen Walker told the young men and women (there has been mixed training since 1993): Our nations will need their soldiers. Those soldiers will need to be led, and that is because their duties will remain the most difficult, the most demanding, and the most dangerous to perform. And so it stands to reason that they deserve the best leaders. And thats you. And you are, and you will be on orders, very soon. Our most inexperienced and youngest of soldiers will be ready and prepared to step forward out into the unknown and the uncertain, and they will do that because they trust you. And your first responsibility when you leave this place is to earn that trust just as quickly as you can, by being yourself, by being professional, by putting their interests before yours, by never asking them to do something that you are not prepared to do yourself. He began by saying: Not only is it a tremendous honour for me to represent His Majesty the King at this most important waypoint in the lives of you, the young officer cadets on parade, but to do so in the company of your families and your soon-to-be regimental ones, as well as the very distinguished guests who have flown in from around the world, makes this a particularly special occasion. Maj Gen Dewan Misri Chand India stamp issued 2009. Amit Roy Rani Reena Kumari Amit Roy Ive got to tell you that it feels like yesterday that I walked up those steps to the tunes of Auld Lang Synethat makes it a rather alarming 33 years ago that I was where you are. But Ill tell you this to the cadets on parade: I promise you that everything that I know now, if someone was to take me back to the start and give me my time again, I would go there without hesitation and do it all again. Now, to my contemporaries and I, many of whom are in the audience watching you follow in their footsteps, the world that we commissioned into was very different to yours. The spectre of general war against the Soviet Union and Russia was fading from our foreground. The scourge of terrorism was waning. The tanker wars in the Persian Gulf were over, and economic stability was returning to the oil markets. There was optimistic talk of peace dividends, and that meant that the armed forces in NATO were being disinvested in, and there was an optimistic view that the future was ours. We had won, and it was our job to keep it that way. Now the consequence was our operations and deployments tended to be under the banner of peace support and stabilisation. That said, still people tried to kill us. So we learned that there was nothing peaceful about keeping the peace, and that the competence in the basics of combat applied whenever and wherever we went. Heres the thing: we had every confidence that it was a world in which we dominated militarily. And for reasons that are obvious to us all now, that world is fading fast. The spectre of general war is not. And there is little assurance or indeed entitlement that we hold the codes to perpetual military dominance. Now, this should not be a cause for despair. Indeed, I believe it is quite the opposite. Window one in the Indian Memorial Room at Sandhurst Amit Roy Window two in the Indian Memorial Room at Sandhurst Amit Roy This is a time when collective defence and security becomes a national and an international effort, where investment in the armed forces is replacing disinvestment, where your operations, activities, and deployments will be done under the banner of real deterrence and hard defence, and where there is an absolute clarity to your purpose, which is to be ready to fight and win the nations battles, which we can, and we have done this before as this academy stands testament to, and well do it again. Because it is at times like this that the very best of our nation steps up, and I see that happening every single day. And that is why I tell you this is a very consequential time for you to be starting your military careers, and its why my generation knows that the future is in good hands, and its also why Im personally not going anywhere else for now. And for all of the changes in the way that you will fight your battlesthere are some continuities that will not change. Gen Walker advised the officer cadets always to resect the experience and advice of your non-commissioned officers. You have the character and the competence to do this from day one, week one, which, just to remind you, is tomorrow. We have every confidence that you will have the courage to make those important decisions under pressure when the time comes, and it will, and that you will always do the right thing, even when things start to go wrong around you, because that is the simplicity of the motto of this place: serve to lead, and we ask nothing more from you. The Indian Memorial Room at Sandhurst Amit Roy That is now your creed, and it must define you in all that you do, not just in uniform or in your working hours. And I want to pay tribute and thank families and friends for making you who you are. And I would like them all to know that they are part of this much larger military family, and you are all most welcome. And I want to pay compliments to your directing staff and all the staff here at the Academy for helping turning you into commissioned officers, ready to serve King, country, and those nations represented on parade. So in summary, leading soldiers is an extraordinary privilege and responsibility. And that is why this parade is held in the name of the sovereign, and why you have met the standard to earn a commission from the sovereign personally. As of tomorrow, as in the words of the scroll of your commission, you will be considered trusted and most beloved by the sovereign. This is your day, and youre ready. And I really think its time for you to march up those steps, through those doors, and into your future. So congratulations, and good luck. These are the values that 20-year-old Misri Chand would have taken away when he left Sandhurst nearly a century ago. Indeed, Sandhursts connections with India run very deep. Sandhurst has an Indian Army Memorial Room, windows representing Indian soldiers and many paintings depicting battles in India. In July 2016, members of the British Sikh Association visited Sandhurst.
