Due to the political differences between the two neighbouring nations, bilateral cricket between India and Pakistan has been suspended since 2013.

BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar explained that Hardik’s consistent injuries, his workload management were the reasons that pushed the board to look beyond…

In a newly released video clip, Mr Hoffman gives an explanation of how he sees AI strongly disrupting today’s workforce, eliminating traditional job arrangements. He feels that the future worker may not be necessarily employed but rather participate in the gig economy. It means you would be working with various companies in multiple sectors under contract.

US Senator Marco Rubio on Thursday introduced a bill in the Congress that proposes to treat India on par with its allies like as Japan, Israel, Korea and NATO allies regarding technology transfers, support India in its response to growing threats to its territorial integrity and bar Pakistan from receiving security assistance if it is found to have sponsored terrorism against India. “Communist China continues to aggressively expand its domain in the Indo-Pacific region, all while it seeks to impede the sovereignty and autonomy of our regional partners. It’s crucial for the U.S. to continue its support in countering these…
