The closing ceremony of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup turned into a spectacular musical celebration at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where global pop icon Ricky Martin performed in India after nearly 28 years.

The electrifying performance came just before the T20 World Cup final, creating a festival-like atmosphere inside the world’s largest cricket stadium. Fans cheered, waved flags, and danced as international and Indian artists delivered high-energy performances.

Ricky Martin Returns to India After 28 Years

The highlight of the ceremony was the performance by Ricky Martin, who last performed in India in 1998 in New Delhi. His return created immense excitement among fans in the stadium.

Martin began his performance with his hit song María, instantly energizing the crowd. He then performed the global chartbuster Livin’ la Vida Loca, which became one of the biggest pop hits worldwide after its release in 1999.

The stadium reached peak excitement when Martin sang The Cup of Life, the official anthem of the 1998 FIFA World Cup. As the famous chant “Ale, Ale, Ale” echoed through the stadium, thousands of fans joined in, turning the performance into a massive sing-along celebration.

The song, released in 1998, became synonymous with sporting celebrations around the world, and its iconic chant is often heard in football and cricket stadiums globally.

Indian Artists Add Desi Flavor to the Ceremony

The ceremony also featured spectacular performances by Indian music stars, adding a vibrant cultural touch to the global sporting event.

Renowned Punjabi singer Sukhbir Singh thrilled the crowd with his blockbuster track Ishq Tera Tadpave. As soon as the music began, fans inside the stadium jumped to their feet, dancing and clapping along to the energetic beats.

Sukhbir also performed popular songs like Tare Gin Gin and Sauda Khara Khara, keeping the audience engaged throughout the performance.

Adding to the festive mood, famous Gujarati-origin singer Falguni Pathak delivered a lively performance that had fans swaying and dancing in the stands.

Music, Lights and Fireworks Light Up the Stadium

The closing ceremony combined music, dazzling light shows, and fireworks, transforming the stadium into a grand celebration before the final match.

Thousands of spectators used their phone flashlights and waved flags, creating a magical visual spectacle inside the arena. The performances set the perfect stage for the T20 World Cup final, making the evening unforgettable for cricket fans and music lovers alike.

First Citizenship Under CAA in Assam: Dipali Das of Cachar Gets Indian Citizenship After Years of Legal Uncertainty

First Citizenship Under the CAA in Assam

In a landmark development in the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), a 60-year-old woman from Assam’s Cachar district has become the first person in the state to officially receive Indian citizenship under the law.

Dipali Das, a resident of Hawaithang in the Dholai block, was granted her citizenship certificate on March 6, bringing an end to years of legal uncertainty surrounding her nationality. Her case has become a significant example of how the Citizenship Amendment Act is being applied in Assam to resolve long-standing citizenship disputes.

Migration From Bangladesh and the Beginning of a Citizenship Dispute

Dipali Das reportedly migrated to India from Bangladesh along with her husband on February 7, 1988, citing persecution as the reason for leaving their home country. The couple settled in the Cachar district of Assam and began rebuilding their lives there.

For years, the family lived quietly in the region. However, the absence of official documentation proving Indian citizenship eventually brought her under government scrutiny.

In 2013, authorities launched an investigation into her nationality. A police chargesheet concluded that she had entered India after March 1971, the cut-off date linked to citizenship verification in Assam. As a result, she was categorized as a suspected foreign national, initiating a lengthy legal process regarding her citizenship status.

Detention in Silchar and Release During the COVID-19 Pandemic

In 2019, Dipali Das was formally declared a foreigner and was placed in a detention centre in Silchar. She spent nearly two years in detention while the legal dispute over her citizenship continued.

Her situation changed in April 2020 when the Supreme Court of India ordered the release of declared foreigners who had spent more than two years in detention. The directive was issued to reduce overcrowding in detention centres during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Following this order, Dipali Das was released on bail. Despite gaining freedom from detention, uncertainty regarding her citizenship status persisted.

Legal Assistance and Application Under the Citizenship Amendment Act

After her release, Dipali Das received help from social worker Kamal Chakraborty, who connected her with advocate Dharmananda Deb.

The lawyer assisted her in filing a citizenship application under the Citizenship Amendment Act.

Interestingly, the earlier police chargesheet that identified her as having migrated from Bangladesh became important supporting evidence for the application under the CAA framework.

After completing the legal process, authorities approved her application and issued an official Indian citizenship certificate on March 6, formally recognizing her as an Indian citizen.

Key Facts About the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA)

  • The Citizenship Amendment Act was passed by the Indian Parliament in December 2019.
  • It provides a pathway to Indian citizenship for persecuted minorities from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan.
  • Eligible communities include Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis, and Christians.
  • Applicants must have entered India before December 31, 2014.
  • Assam has long experienced citizenship disputes related to migration and the National Register of Citizens verification process.

Relief for the Family After Years of Legal Struggle

Dipali Das and her husband have six children—one son and five daughters—many of whom have built their lives in India.

  • Their eldest son runs a small business in the Dholai area.
  • Four daughters work in Bengaluru, pursuing employment opportunities.
  • The youngest daughter recently married and continues to live in Cachar.

Receiving the citizenship certificate has brought immense relief to the family. It not only resolves Dipali Das’s legal identity but also helps protect the future citizenship status of her children, most of whom were born and raised in India.

Conclusion: A Milestone in CAA Implementation in Assam

Dipali Das’s case marks an important milestone in the practical implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act in Assam. After decades of uncertainty, legal battles, and detention, the issuance of her citizenship certificate demonstrates how the CAA is being used to resolve complex citizenship disputes involving migrants who sought refuge in India.

For many families facing similar uncertainties, this development may represent a significant precedent and a step toward clarity in citizenship verification processes in Assam.

IPL 2026 to Begin on March 28: Schedule Likely to Be Split Due to State Elections

The Indian Premier League 2026 season will officially begin on March 28, according to an announcement by broadcaster Star Sports on Sunday. The announcement came just ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Final 2026 between India national cricket team and New Zealand national cricket team at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Originally, the IPL was scheduled to start on March 26, but the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) revised the date due to assembly elections in five states and union territories—Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam, West Bengal, and Puducherry. The complete schedule of the tournament is yet to be released.

IPL 2026 Schedule May Be Released in Two Phases

Because elections will take place during the tournament period, the BCCI is expected to release the IPL schedule in two phases, a practice followed in the past when elections coincided with the league.

Since the IPL began in 2008, the schedule has been split during election years such as 2009, 2014, 2019, and 2024, when either general elections or state polls required logistical adjustments and security planning.

Key IPL Venues in Election States

Three major stadiums located in poll-bound states are part of the IPL venue list this year:

  • MA Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk) in Chennai, home ground of Chennai Super Kings
  • Eden Gardens in Kolkata, home ground of Kolkata Knight Riders
  • Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, which serves as the second home venue of the Rajasthan Royals

Security arrangements and election-related restrictions in these states are the main reason behind the schedule adjustments.

Opening and Final Matches to Be Played in Bengaluru

The opening match and the IPL 2026 final will be played at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

According to Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) Secretary Santosh Menon, the defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru will host their five home matches at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.

The franchise will play its remaining two home matches at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in Raipur, Chhattisgarh.

RCB Enter IPL 2026 as Defending Champions

In the IPL 2025 Final, Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated Punjab Kings by six runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, claiming the title.

Traditionally, the IPL opening match, Qualifier 2, and the final are held at the home venue of the defending champions. Last season, the opening match took place at Eden Gardens, the home ground of the 2024 champions Kolkata Knight Riders. Following the same tradition, this year’s marquee matches will be staged in Bengaluru.

IPL 2026 Season Window

During the IPL auction held in Abu Dhabi in December 2025, the BCCI had informed franchises that the 2026 season would run from March 26 to May 31. With the revised start date now expected to be March 28, the final is still likely to remain on May 31, which falls on a Sunday—a preferred day for major sporting finals.

The full IPL 2026 schedule, match fixtures, and venues are expected to be announced soon by the BCCI.

Defending champions India will take on New Zealand in the T20 World Cup final at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. The high-voltage match will begin at 7:00 p.m., while the toss is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Both teams have already arrived at the stadium.

IND–NZ T20 World Cup Final: Both Teams Reach Stadium; Harbhajan Says “Play Like Champions”

The closing ceremony will start at 5:30 p.m., featuring performances by international pop star Ricky Martin along with Indian singers Sukhwinder Singh and Falguni Pathak.

Several prominent personalities have reached Ahmedabad to watch the final. Former India captain MS Dhoni, current Indian captain Rohit Sharma, and Bollywood actress Preity Zinta were spotted arriving at the venue.

Meanwhile, prayers were offered for India’s victory at the Mahakaleshwar Temple. Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh wished the team luck and said, “We have to play like champions.”

India Eyeing Three Major Records

Team India has a chance to achieve three historic milestones:

  • Third Title: India could become the first nation to win the T20 World Cup three times.
  • Title Defence: India may become the first team to successfully defend the T20 World Cup title.
  • Host Nation Victory: India could also become the first country to win the T20 World Cup on home soil.

First T20 World Cup Final Between India and New Zealand

This is the first time India and New Zealand are facing each other in a T20 World Cup final. Two-time champions India are playing their fourth final, while New Zealand have reached the final for the second time and are still chasing their maiden title. The Kiwis previously lost the 2021 final to Australia.

Historically, India has dominated New Zealand in T20 Internationals, but the record in the T20 World Cup favors the Kiwis. The two sides have met three times in the tournament, with New Zealand winning all three encounters in 2007, 2016, and 2021.

Head-to-Head Record

India and New Zealand have played 30 T20 Internationals so far. India have won 18 matches, while New Zealand have won 11, with one match tied. Two matches were decided through a Super Over, while one game ended without a result due to rain. India have also won 11 of their 16 matches against New Zealand at home.

Before the World Cup, New Zealand toured India in January, where the two teams played a five-match T20 series. India won the series 4–1, with several high-scoring games, including a 271-run total by India in the final match.

Key Performers for India

Ishan Kishan has been India’s leading run-scorer in the tournament, scoring 263 runs in eight matches, including two half-centuries, with a best score of 77. Captain Suryakumar Yadav is second on the list with 242 runs.

In bowling, Varun Chakravarthy has been outstanding, taking 13 wickets in eight matches. He could become the top wicket-taker of the tournament if he picks up at least one wicket in the final.

Possible Playing XI

India: Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Hardik Pandya, Tilak Verma, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakravarthy.

New Zealand: Finn Allen, Tim Seifert (wk), Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner (c), Cole McConchie, Matt Henry, Jimmy Neesham, Lockie Ferguson.

US Shifts to Precision Gravity Bombs in Escalating Iran Campaign

By

The United States has announced a major tactical shift in its ongoing military campaign against Iran. US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that Iranian air defence systems have been significantly weakened after several days of operations. As a result, the US military plans to deploy precision-guided gravity bombs weighing 500, 1,000 and 2,000 pounds. The move indicates a transition from long-range “stand-off” weapons to direct aerial bombardment following the establishment of air superiority.

Earlier Reliance on Stand-Off Weapons

Until now, US forces had largely depended on stand-off munitions designed to strike targets from outside the range of enemy air defence systems. These weapons are launched from naval destroyers, stealth aircraft or drones to minimise risk to pilots. Cruise missiles such as the Tomahawk and unmanned combat systems like the Low-cost Unmanned Combat Attack System (LUCAS) have been widely used to target Iranian radar installations and surface-to-air missile systems. Such strikes aim to weaken enemy defences before direct aerial attacks are carried out.

Understanding Gravity Bombs

Gravity bombs, also known as free-fall bombs, are unpowered weapons that rely on gravity and aerodynamics after being released from an aircraft. Unlike cruise missiles, they do not contain engines or propulsion systems. Modern variants, however, have become highly accurate through the addition of Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) kits. These kits include GPS guidance systems and steerable fins, enabling the bomb to glide towards precise coordinates. Gravity bombs have been widely used in modern conflicts including operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria.

Conventional and Nuclear Variants

The bombs referenced in the current campaign are conventional weapons containing standard chemical explosives. They typically cost around $25,000 to $30,000 when fitted with a JDAM kit and are authorised for use by military commanders during operations. In contrast, the United States also maintains nuclear gravity bombs such as the B61 and B83 series. These weapons have significantly higher destructive yields, measured in kilotons or megatons of TNT, and their deployment requires direct authorisation from the US President.

Important Facts

  • Gravity bombs are unpowered munitions that rely on gravity after release from aircraft.
  • Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) kits convert conventional bombs into GPS-guided precision weapons.
  • The Mark 80 series is a major family of conventional gravity bombs used by the US Air Force.
  • Air supremacy refers to a situation where one military controls the airspace with minimal opposition.

Mark 80 Series and Operational Use

The US arsenal of gravity bombs is centred on the Mark 80 series, which will be deployed with precision guidance systems. The 500-pound Mk-82 bomb is typically used against light vehicles, radar systems and exposed positions. The 1,000-pound Mk-83 is designed for stronger structures such as reinforced buildings and command centres. The largest variant, the 2,000-pound Mk-84, can penetrate hardened targets including underground facilities and large military installations. These bombs can be deployed by fighter aircraft such as the F-15E Strike Eagle and F-35, as well as strategic bombers like the B-52 Stratofortress.

Balendra Shah: From Rapper to Reformist Politician

Nepal’s political landscape appears poised for a major transformation as Balendra Shah, widely known as Balen Shah, has emerged as a strong contender for the country’s prime ministership following the latest general election trends. The 35-year-old Kathmandu mayor and former rapper represents a new generation of leadership challenging the dominance of traditional political elites. His rise has energised young voters and highlighted growing demand for political reform and transparent governance in the Himalayan nation.

Election Trends and Political Momentum

Preliminary trends from Nepal’s recent general elections indicate strong performance by the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), which is reportedly leading in more than 100 of the 275 seats in the House of Representatives. Shah himself is maintaining a significant lead in the Jhapa-5 constituency against veteran leader and former prime minister KP Sharma Oli of the Communist Party of Nepal (UML).

If the trend continues, Shah could become one of the youngest prime ministers in Nepal’s history, marking a dramatic shift from a political establishment largely dominated by leaders in their 60s and 70s.

Symbolic Campaign Launch in Janakpur

Shah’s prime ministerial campaign began with a culturally symbolic speech in Janakpur, the capital of Madhesh Province and traditionally regarded as the birthplace of Goddess Sita. He opened his address with “Sarvapratham, Mata Janaki ke pranaam,” and delivered the speech in Maithili, one of Nepal’s widely spoken languages.

The choice of location and language was significant. Few national leaders in Nepal have launched a major political campaign in Maithili, which is widely spoken across the Madhesh region and India’s Mithila belt. The move signalled outreach to Madhesi communities, which have historically sought greater political representation.

From Rapper to Reformist Politician

Before entering public life, Shah gained popularity as a rapper who used hip-hop music to raise awareness about corruption, governance failures and social inequality. His music resonated strongly with urban youth.

Understanding Exam Stress: Psychologist Dr. Ravneet Handa Shares Insights and Advice for Students

By

As examinations take place across schools in India, many students experience a mix of emotions ranging from excitement to anxiety. Psychologist and senior teacher Dr. Ravneet Sethi Handa, Counseling Psychologist and Educator, at Witty International School Udaipur shares her insights with Kanan Rathore from The EBNW Story on what students feel during exams, why stress occurs, and how students, parents, and schools can work together to make the exam season healthier and more balanced.

Q. Examinations are currently underway in most schools across India. From a psychologist’s perspective, what are the common emotions students experience during exam season?

Dr. Ravneet Handa: Students often experience a mix of emotions during exams, including uncertainty about outcomes and pressure to perform well. Self-doubt about their preparation or their ability to cope can also arise, which sometimes makes them feel overwhelmed.

Q. Many students talk about exam pressure and anxiety. How real is this issue today, and what are the main reasons behind exam-related stress among students?

Dr. Ravneet Handa: The pressure to perform, fear of failure, and uncertainty about results are major reasons behind exam stress. Exam anxiety isn’t just about feeling nervous—it can also affect sleep, appetite, and overall well-being. It is a very real issue, and acknowledging it is the first step towards managing it.

Q. Do you think the perception of exams among students has changed over the years?

Dr. Ravneet Handa: Yes, certainly. Intense competition has increased the pressure on students to perform perfectly. High-stakes testing and even digital distractions today contribute to higher levels of exam anxiety and stress among students.

Q. How can students manage exam stress and maintain a healthy balance during this period?

Dr. Ravneet Handa: Students should adopt a positive and action-oriented approach towards exam anxiety and view it as an opportunity for growth rather than despair. They should avoid comparison and self-doubt. Taking regular breaks while studying, ensuring adequate sleep, maintaining good nutrition, and doing light exercise can help keep both the mind and body relaxed during exam preparation.

Q. What should be the role of parents in such cases?

Dr. Ravneet Handa: Parents should offer emotional support and encouragement, which helps children build confidence and resilience during stressful times. Their attitude and respectful behaviour can greatly influence a child’s mindset. Positive guidance from parents helps children develop a strong and courageous approach to challenges.

Q. What steps can schools and teachers take to ensure a positive examination environment?

Dr. Ravneet Handa: Schools and teachers can create an atmosphere where students feel comfortable discussing their stress and anxiety. They should focus on effort and progress, not just results. Recognising and celebrating students’ achievements, even small ones, can boost confidence. Schools can also introduce mindfulness sessions or meditation exercises and work closely with parents to build a consistent support system for students.

Q. Finally, what message would you like to give to students who feel nervous during exams?

Dr. Ravneet Handa: Challenges are opportunities to grow. Believe in yourself and your abilities. You have the strength to overcome obstacles, and your sincere efforts will eventually bloom into success.

PC: (Pragatiwadi.com)

In a joyous celebration that has captivated the Telugu film industry, popular actor Allu Sirish married his longtime girlfriend and entrepreneur Nayanika Reddy on Friday, March 6, 2026. The intimate yet grand ceremony took place at Aina Farms in Hyderabad, blending rich South Indian traditions with elegant contemporary touches.

The date carried special meaning for the Allu family, coinciding with the 15th wedding anniversary of Sirish’s elder brother, superstar Allu Arjun.

Sirish looked dashing in a classic white silk kurta with gold accents, embodying timeless grace. Nayanika radiated elegance in a lavender and gold silk saree, accessorized with a stunning diamond set featuring white and pink stones, diamond bangles, and a traditional maang tikka. The wedding drew an impressive guest list from cinema, politics, and business. Prominent attendees included Allu Arjun and his wife Sneha Reddy, megastar Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, and other family members from the influential Allu-Konidela dynasty. Tamil actor Suriya and Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy also graced the occasion, adding to the star power.

The venue was beautifully adorned with intricate floral installations, soft lighting, and traditional decor, creating a magical ambiance for the sacred rituals.

Allu Sirish, known for films like Srirastu Subhamastu and Urvasivo Rakshasivo, belongs to one of South India’s most prominent film families-son of producer Allu Aravind, nephew of Chiranjeevi, and cousin to Ram Charan and Varun Tej. Nayanika, a Hyderabad-based business professional from an entrepreneurial family, has stayed largely private but shares a grounded and academically strong background.

The couple’s journey from a private relationship (publicly announced after their engagement in late 2025) to this heartfelt union has been marked by pre-wedding festivities, including a lavish reception at Allu Studios. As the Allu-Konidela family celebrates this new chapter, fans and well-wishers have flooded social media with blessings for the newlyweds.

Congratulations to Allu Sirish and Nayanika Reddy-may their life together be filled with love and happiness!
